I don't think you can achieve excellence in your goals. You either achieve your goals or you don't.

All in all, it looks pretty good to me.

It is not a good idea to include that in your resume. It can't help. It will only emphasize your lack of experience.

Thanks RonBee.

One more thing, should i mention list of courses i have taken in cover letter since i have already mentioned it in my Resume. Instead, i was thinking about adding one paragraph, talking about my accounting experience(which i do not have except for the courses) or you know something that relates to being an accountant. You think you can help me with that.

let me know.

thanks,

Ahmed

[RonBee]

The cover letter is basically for introducing yourself. List the courses you have taken in your resume.
