Chris X
Dear Chris,
As we discussed in the information session, I am currently an undergraduate Bachelor Degree senior with major in Finance and Accounting. I will graduate in May 2015. After listening to your presentation, I believe that I am a strong candidate for the Consultant position at X and herewith submitting my resume for consideration.
I have strong qualitative and quantitative skills, as required and desired, for the Consultant position. I have multilanguage skills with spoken and written fluency in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Regarding the Division, I am particularly interested in the Americas Division, but Life Sciences is also attractive to me. The new offices in Chicago and the Boston Offices would be great locations as my choices. My second tier choices would be New York and Mountain View. Even though I am currently an international student, I am expecting my green card by the graduation date of May 2015.
Having lived in three different countries and four different cities, I garnered excellent communication skills and feel very comfortable in conversations with many different types of people, in personality or skills. I can assure you that I can maintain a relationship with a client and nurture it.
I am the main spokesperson of my fraternity in recruitment events, where I have to persuade and engage young college students to attract them to our fraternity. As a student of the School of Management, I am familiar with teamwork and large projects. I have always received a positive feedback in all my assignments. I will be able to provide a recommendation letter from my professors that attest my skills sets in organization, teamwork, and positive impact.
As for the quantitative skills, two of my past internships were related to accounting and finance. In applying to the Consulting position, I believe these experiences along with my major can help me to better understand and analyze the companies or industry. I am the Founder and currently the President of the Financial Modeling club. I am certain that I have the required excel skills and I might even contribute to creation and development of models with my VBA knowledge. I am an active member of the Consulting Club as well and passionate about solving business issues.
While I certainly can excel in an office setting doing projections and financial analysis, I consider myself a people’s person and love working with people, teams, and as a consultant.
In conclusion, I find that X’s culture is incredible and it certainly reflects in the outstanding growth your company has in the past few years. It would be an honor for me to be part of X. I thank you very much for taking the time to read my application. I look forward to hear from you soon. Please do not hesitate t call me at 555-222-1111 or email if you have any questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
Rodrigo X.
