I would like to express my interest in an entry-level analyst position with XYZ Company. Throughout my job search and conversations with investment advisors, I have come to respect the professionalism that characterizes your firm and its employees. I am confident that XYZ Company’s values and objectives would highly complement my own strengths and enthusiasm. I would like to be considered for your Investment Banking Analyst Program, or a similar position that requires refined analytical and communication skills.
I was impressed to learn of your recent acquisition of Hamburg Group, a tactic which I see as indicative of XYZ Company’s commitment to achieving growth and success in the future. Innovative and exciting approaches such as this, coupled with XYZ Company’s highly regarded Analyst Program, convinced me that this is the ideal environment to begin my business career.
Evidence of my leadership and analytical skills can be seen in my responsibilities as analyst intern at ABC Company, and my commitment to academics.
My educational background in government and business, combined with my internship experiences, has been excellent preparation for an analyst career with XYZ Company.
Please review the enclosed resume and references, and consider my application for your Investment Banking Analyst program. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in New York and explore the company environment, as well as possible job opportunities. I will call your office next week to discuss these possibilities.
I look forward to exchanging ideas with you concerning a career at XYZ Company and the positive contributions I would offer as a member of your organization.
Thank you for your consideration.
