Unit 1 Activity 1

This is an essay style activity. The link below will take you to a page where you can type in an answer to the essay question, so when you are finished answering, click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the test. Your instructor will grade your activity later.

Review the list Job Responsibilities listed in Unit 1 of this AMS online course or in Chapter 1 of your textbook. Select 3 of the responsibilities that you would most like to perform as an AMS, and first, describe the performance standards required for those responsibilities, then second, describe why you would enjoy that responsibility.

Example:
Responsibility: Make up employee payroll.
The performance standards include:
1. Prepare payroll checks and maintain financial business records accurately.
2. Prepare federal and state forms within time limits

I am very skilled in bookkeeping and maintenance of payroll and financial records, since I did this for 4 years with Acme Construction Company. I like the attention-to-detail required to keep the records balanced and up-to-date.
