To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to submit an application for the Budget Analyst position

posted on your company’s website.

I am currently a Supervisor for the Program Services Department at Consumer

Credit Counseling Service of San Francisco. In my current role, I manage a

team of up to 50 Certified Consumer Credit Counselors who provide financial

education to clients in the areas of money and debt management, housing

delinquency, and first time home purchasing. Based on the information the

client provides, the counselors will offer basic money management

techniques, information on how to manage their credit and debts, home

retention options, first time home purchasing, and foreclosure

alternatives. Some of my responsibilities include managing the daily

appointment schedule, facilitating ongoing training and counseling

improvement, running productivity and quality reports, writing performance

reviews and providing support for employee growth.

My past employment history involved over seven years of managing small to

medium groups of employees, hiring, training, coaching, evaluating, and

setting attainable goals. I have spent over five years working in an

entrepreneurial environment multitasking in several roles, mainly

operations, accounting, and marketing. I also have four years mortgage

experience in loan origination, processing, loan modifications, and

qualifying loan applicants. I possess analytic skills to evaluate

financial statements, balance budgets, and make specific recommendations. I

am self motivated, a team player, and have strong business development

skills that I have used to solve problems and improve efficiency and

productivity.

I am interested in utilizing my skills and experience to assist with

achieving the goals of the company. I am confident that my experience and

background has prepared me to handle the responsibilities for the Budget

Analyst position. Currently, I’m also pursuing Financial Planner

certification and will endeavor to complete any required prerequisites for

the position.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future, and thank you in

advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Emery Lewis, Jr. Emery Lewis, Jr.
