Through your experience in auditing, you must try to work in one of the big 4 firms for Audit, this experience will increase your knowledge and also will give you more power in your professional summary. 3) Skills. - No one is born knowing, so there is no limit to the quality and quantity of skills that you can develop. Accountability, leadership, adaptability, achieve goals are some examples of skills that I have well done in my life, to acquire your skills in your life, it is very important to pay attention to all your mistakes because from them you will get a very valuable knowledge, you must learn from your mistakes all the time.
