My name is Ava Garcia, and I am currently working as a business analyst at [Current Employer] in New York City. I have been with my current employer for 13 years – a time which has offered exciting opportunities and professional growth.
I do, however, feel that the time has come for me to look for new challenges and take the next step in my career. For this reason, I was delighted to read about the financial analyst position at [Company Name].
I’m convinced that this job would suit me well and that I, in turn, would be a great fit for the job.
I would like to highlight three main qualities that I believe make me the right person for this position.
The first would be my experience. During my 13 years at [Current Employer], I was able to cultivate my interest in analyzing financial data and researching macroeconomic and microeconomic conditions. This, in turn, allowed me to develop new skills in this area – skills that I would like to hone further, as a member of your team at [Company Name]. Furthermore, I feel that my experience in identifying financial performance trends and financial risk has contributed significantly to my overall development.
Secondly, I know that my educational background has prepared me well for a job at [Company Name]. I have a Bachelor’s degree in business from University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I have also taken a course in strategic management.
Last, but certainly not least, I think that my personal traits and abilities make me the right person for this job. I have a good grasp of numbers and am able to analyze financial relationships and correlations, and I know that my ability to exercise good judgment has been appreciated by my previous employers.
Furthermore, I am self-reliant, and organized in my professional role.
I hope that this brief presentation has given you an idea of who I am, and what I can bring to [Company Name]. I feel strongly that I would be able to meet your expectations, and look forward to being called to an interview so that I might introduce myself further.
Sincerely,
Ava
