Question about how this sentence should be

Hello!

I'm writing a cover letter...

Is the sentence written like this okay?:

This position would help me become an expert with QuickBooks, and would help me gain experience and familiarity with an accounting position.


Or should it be:

This position would help me become an expert with QuickBooks, and would help me gain experience in and familiarity with an accounting position.

  

Top answer

This position would help me bec ome exp ert with QuickBo oks and gain experience in an accounting position. No 'an' and no comma. The 'familiarity' phrase is redundant, as is 'would help me'.

  • This position would help me bec ome exp ert with QuickBo oks and gain experience in an accounting position.
  • No 'an' and no comma.
  • The 'familiarity' phrase is redundant, as is 'would help me'.
