Economic graduate with 1 year experience as an admin. Assistant and 1 year experience as accountant looking to secure a position where my qualities of a fast learner, communication skills and the ability to take on new challenges can be used in the area of finance or customer service.

Response from Carl: Thanks Hiba. I'd mention the specific degree that you have just so it's clear ie. Bachelor of Arts in Economics, or whatever the degree is called. I'd also stay away from short forms like "admin." just to keep things formal.

Since you're looking for a job in banking and have some accounting experience, I'd mention a few specific tasks or accomplishments that you had as an accountant that a banking hiring manager would like to know about. If you look at what you've written you do list a degree and a bit of work experience but don't really comment on specifics related to what you've accomplished so far in your career that might help your candidacy for a job.
