Dear Mr. Hen:
As a senior finance and foreign affairs major at the University of Virginia, I am currently amongst many qualified students in the job market this year. I recognize that International Financial Services is seeking the most talented graduates for the job. I will attempt to set myself apart from the other applicants in the job pool to show that I am uniquely qualified for the trader position at International Financial Services, INC.
I feel that in such a pressing job market, I have qualities such as good quantitative skills, interpersonal skills, analytical skills, and experiences that I would like to use at International Financial Services. I also possess skills such as handling numerous tasks at once and working well under pressure. With hard work and effort, I have been able to establish a strong grade point average at the University of Virginia, in both my finance and foreign affairs majors. I have diverse language skills that I am continuously bettering, and I have also held a number of leadership roles at the University of Virginia in the Asian Student Union, and in a number of other activities detailed on my resume. My work experience outside of the University has helped me to hone my research skills.
I would truly appreciate the opportunity to interview with International Financial Services in investment banking. I feel I have much to offer your company, and I also feel that the company would give me the opportunity to learn a tremendous amount of valuable skills. I appreciate your time, and look forward to hearing from you. My contact information is provided on my resume as well as at the top of this cover letter.
