Hello, lwg-- and welcome to EF. I suggest:

In my accounting course work, I emphasized financial and managerial accounting skills. In addition to my academic foundation, I gained working experience in accounting from my two summer internships in Hong Kong. I served as an accounting staff assistant to the Senior Accounting Manager at PoTak Limited Co., a logistics company. I assisted in managing the monthly payroll for more than 60 employees. I also managed the accounting of over a hundred shipping invoices daily. Through the hands-on experience of my internships, I have become well organized, with a strong attention to details and accuracy. Along with my accounting skills, I built up a solid foundation of general administrative skills as an Office Assistant at Foothill College. I gained experience in filing and data entry for student files.

I have underlined some problem areas. One point-- usually, you should use simple past tense where you have used present perfect:

Motivation Letter:

Aside my working experience, I also have knowledge in stock market, being a keen awareness of world events, current affair and financial markets. My interest in those subjects have started after I made a course~~, during my degree,~~ in financial markets and technical chart analysis, and I have started to invest on the Madrid Stock Exchange using an online stockbroker platform.

Hi,

The format still does not seem quite right, but I'll try to comment. I'm commenting based on the format that people use here where I live.

Put your name /address / phone / email at the top, as a heading.

Then put these sections, in this order:

OBJECTIVE (what position you are looking for, very briefly)

SKILLS

EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE

EDUCATION

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS / MEMBERSHIPS

REFERENCES (Just say 'available on request')

Why don't you make the changes I've suggested, if you want to, and then repost this.

The format you gave me to work with is an awkward one.

Can you just type in, directly, what you want me to look at?

Best wishes, Clive
