Dear Sir/Madam,
Your job opening for a financial analyst immediately caught my attention
because my education and work experience closely parallel your needs.
I just graduated with a bachelor's degree at Cal State East Bay and have
been an intern in Symantec's Corporate Financial Planning and Analysis
group for two and a half years. My internship has brought me rich
experiences, but I have reached a point which I am eager to further my
development and experience.
I enjoy making a difference and working as part of a progressively growing
and results-oriented team. I commit myself to working effectively and
efficiently with others to provide exceptional service for the
organization. With my experience in the corporate finance field, I have
developed numerous skills that have contributed to Symantec's organization.
While interning at Symantec, I have learned to analyze and process
financial data, prepare quarterly presentations for executive management
and solve problematic issues. In addition to these types of tasks, I have
the responsibilities of planning and compiling business budgets, reporting
actuals, forecast, and variances. I have also become very proficient in
Microsoft Excel as well as other financial reporting systems.
Coupled with my detail oriented nature, my intensive coursework as well as
my internship experience has allowed me to cultivate the necessary skills
and education that Express Services demands in an employee. Moreover, my
experience in the finance field has helped me develop the kind of
interpersonal skills necessary within this fast-paced environment. I am
flexible to changes and able to adapt quickly to organizational changes.
After you have examined the enclosed resume for details of my
qualifications, I would be happy to answer questions. Please call me at
510-***-**** at any time to arrange an interview at your convenience so
that we may discuss how my finance experience, computer training, and
interpersonal skills could contribute to Express Services.
Sincerely,
Jessica Au
