My first week


This was the first week of my work placement, I work in the finance department of Dubai land Department . I was assigned to this place because the department I work in can offer me an experience that matches my major, which is financial services and banking .at first I was very scared and nervous about my new workplace, but once I arrived there, and got to know everyone things started looking up and all my worries wore gone!




For this week, my main task was to calculate the income of Dubai land for the previous day. My trainer , Ms. Maryam showed me that there is a daily report which  shows exactly how much each employee earned each day, my task is to make sure that all the cash, cheques  and credit card receipts shows the exact amount which is in the system (report), after that, take the cash and deposit it in the cashier. Then, I move to the cheques, I organize all the cheques according to their bank and but every 25 cheque in a excel sheet until I finish all the cheques (the EXCEL requires the following data)
1- Name of the bank
2- Cheque date
3- Cheque number
4- Cheque amount
Afterward, I insert each cheque amount in the (Oracle system) and ensure that the total amount matches the total of the excel sheets.
This was in summery all the things I did in my first week, am really looking forward to my next week so that I can learn more new things.
For now, everything is going very well, the people I work with are nice and the place is comfortable, and hopefully things won’t change until I finish the 5 more weeks I have left.
