I am expected to assist the team on various client jobs. Most days I am assigned a task and recieve coaching for it, so that I can complete it seamlessly. I approach my coach for advise before completing the task and saving my progress. I worked on tasks such as testing and documenting samples and documenting various audit evidences.
