To Whom It May Concern:
RE: (
I am a 2011 graduate of Cornell University in Finance and Economic Policy. In response to your posting for an Investment Analyst position at your company, I am enclosing my resume for your review. Given my proven record of work performance and experience in Management and Investment, I would like to be considered for the position.
Having worked in the financial service sector, I am in quest of new challenges in an employee with excellent abilities. My Investment style strongly emphasizes strong solid analytical skills, teamwork and leadership abilities with diversified international experiences which I look forward to leveraging as an Investment Analyst. My experience at Sybase (an SAP company in New York City specialized in financial services and solutions) has demonstrated my quantitative modeling skills in analyzing real time balance sheet and conducting sophisticated financial statement analysis. At China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company (COSCO), the world’s second largest full service intermodal carrier, I worked closely with a business development team and optimized container usage for domestic and international customers, and creating 10% extra shipping volume for the ocean going shipping division.
At Cornell, I have taken a lot of courses in finance and marketing. My hands-on academic training has well prepared myself to become an excellent Investment Analyst. Out of the classroom, I have taken numerous leadership roles in different student organizations. As the co-chair of external affairs at Cornell Chinese Students and Scholars Association, I have significantly facilitated communication and activities between Chinese students and the international community. While at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, I was selected to present at the Model United Nation’s Economic and social Commission, addressing my opinion on how to diversify member states mainstay economies. Throughout my academic and professional career, I have consistently demonstrated strong leadership, teamwork, and analytical skills which will enable me to make a meaningful impact at Millennium Technology Value Partners.
Today I am looking for another environment that will provide a challenge, and for Investment occupations which will allow me to further develop as a person. I have heard consistent reports about your company’s dedication to excellence, and look forward to the opportunity to speak with you about bringing my proven ambition and drive to your organization.
I am confident that with my talent, energy, and education I will excel as an Investment Analyst. I have the personality and horsepower to make a difference in your organization Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
