With data entry, I have always believed that accuracy comes with focus and by double-checking the work before finishing. When I worked as a storeroom attendant at a previous job, I was responsible for maintaining an up-to-date inventory of the supplies and merchandise. This inventory was maintained in a database that required significant data entry when I had to create new supply records and document the numbers and quality of the merchandise. Because I knew of the importance of maintaining accuracy of this inventory, I prided myself in carefully tracking the supplies and double-checking my results.

I double-checked my inventory before submitting it to management and corrected the simple errors that could have caused significant problems later on. Additionally, my manager awarded me “Employee of the Month” because of my efforts.
