within a short period in the future.

[uktous]

Hi,

Hi,

I would like to convey this idea:
I have a strong academic background in accounting, so I am confident that I can qualify as an accountant within a short period in the future.


However, "within a short period in the future" is too long.
Could you please suggest any word to replace "within a short period in the future"?


Someone suggests:
in the near future.
in a short period of time. (<--- but seem can't convery "future")


My opinions:
Quickly: seem to be overconfident.
Shortly: seem to be inappropriate.
Any others?


Thanks

Hi

How about

• within X weeks / months
• by DATE
• before DATE
• ... that I will soon qualify as ...

To be honest, the wording doesn't matter all that much. Whatever you write, the reader will focus on two things only:

1. This person has not qualified yet.
2. Is that important to me?

If the answer to question 2 is "yes", then someone who has already qualified will be selected. If the answer is "no", then good luck with the interview!

Note: You said "Qualify as an accounting" -- this is not a standard thing to say where I live. What does this mean? What is "an accounting"?

Thank you, I have corrected my mistake.

Back to my question, I think I would like to choose "in the near future".

Rather than letting it be a factor of time, why not make it about your drive?

You are confident that your strong academic background and motivation to provide value will allow you to obtain [is it a certification? something like that?] expeditiously.

"is it a certification? something like that?"

Just a BSc with a good result

I don't understand. You have not yet graduated? I though you had a master's in Economics!

Are you writing resumes for other people?

[rumen]

in the near/immediate future
in the not too distant future
in/for the foreseeable future

No, I graduated.

I am writing a resume for myself.

Yes, I got an MSc.

Thanks
