Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Society in general:

    The job is boring, long hours.

  • How I responded:

    I usually explain what audit means to me and how fulfilling is for me to perform an audit. Auditing provides you with knowledge of an entity and its operations. We learn everything about the company and sometimes we know more about the company than the people who work there. So for me this makes this job very exciting. Yes there are long hours, but we usually know the peak times during the year and we also have down time.
