Resume:
Dear Hiring Manager:
I would like to express my strong interest in your available Business Accountant position, which can use of my previous experience as well as can improve myself. I am confident that I meet the qualifications for this job.
I am a quick learner and eager to learn and improve myself. Over the last five years, with my passion for financial area, I have took many financial courses and achieved strong academic performance, getting good knowledge of financial market, asset pricing and equity analysis. What is more, I am the CFA Level 2 candidate and I am preparing the FRM exam.
In addition, I did five interns in leading financial institutions, which gave me hands-on experience in real working environment. For example, when I did internship in BNP Paribas, I used the financial analysis and financial modeling to estimate the firm value and conduct due diligence. And when I worked in China Galaxy Securities Company, I learned how to analyze stocks by both technical analysis and fundamental analysis. I also got excellent knowledge of Microsoft Office programs, especially Excel and Word, in these internships.
Moreover, I have been student leaders for four years and always participate in group projects and competitions. Both kinds of experiences improve a lot of my communication and organizational skills.
I am confident that my strong background, along with the enthusiasm and high energy I can bring to the job, qualifies me for the position you are seeking to fill. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Louis Liu
