In addition to that I have gained working experience at ‘AB Accounting Firm’, to be helpful in achieving my career goal.

My Personal Goals

Goals are the poles where you are headed. As per as my personal goals are concerned I am ambitious towards working on my negative points of my personality.
Character and Personality in my view is the sum total of the internal and external trades or features. I am happy to have the positive points like hardworking, confidence and decision making ability. On the other hand side my habit of short temperness makes me feel that I still need to improve and groom my personality with knowledge and superiors.

My Educational Achievements

Education plays a vital role in somebody’s success. Education in life is as important for success in life as blood for body. To achieve your goals you must have acquired some kind of education whether direct or indirect.

I am currently enrolled in ‘Diploma in Business Administration Accounting at ‘Sheridan College of Technology And Advanced Learning’. I am also proficient with PC Productivity Software such as MS Word, MS PowerPoint, and MS Excel. I am also certified in ‘International English Language Testing System’.

The most common information system i use every day is my cell phone. I use the phone to enter the data i.e the text message or the contact numbers in a certain procedure to send somebody a text message or call somebody. The software in my cell phone is installed to provide me features for using internet browsing, listening to the music, instant messaging and much more.

MIS and My Career

There are a wide number of MIS exists. MIS stands for Management Information system which means development and use of information system in order to achieve business goals.

Sheridan Learning and Teaching environment (SLATE)

The very frequent MIS I use is the Online Sheridan Learning and Teaching environment (SLATE). The Hardware and Software, I use to get my queries answered from my teacher. As well  I read any postings, messages, information provided in class by the teacher. In this Information System, postings to the students, queries to the teachers and information of one type are converted into information and resources of other kind. Example of a resource,  as a student I, pay my fees to the institute and in return of that  it  provides me facilities like accessing databases etc.

Mcdonalds

One of another MIS I use is the information system at my workplace i.e McDonalds. I use the hardware to enter the data such as food orders and the software automatically totals up and tells all the sales for the day at the end of the day. I enter all the final values for the day into the software called the compris in order to get ups and downs for the day. For example if we are plus or minus in sales, what is the labour cost, how many cars we served in the whole day. There is a continuous improvement in the information system to result in in better business process. The experience at my workplace is a valuable asset to my career.

TD Canada Trust

Last but not the least, other MIS I use is the online banking with TD Canada Trust. I follow the certain procedures to deposit, withdraw the money, and make online payments while using the computer i.e hardware and software. I manage most of my business dealings online, like handling investments
