Dear Hiring Manager,

I will be graduating from North Central College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics, Finance, and German in June of 2013. I would like to be considered for your entry level position that you advertised on Bright.com or for a similar position that my skills and abilities would fit.

I believe that my double major in Finance and Economics provide me with sound financial skills which combined with my qualities of being a hard worker and quick learner will show my value to your company. I enjoy the challenge of learning new skills and I believe a strong work ethic is important in all aspects of life. If you are going to put time and effort into doing something, then you should do it to the best of your ability.

In addition, I have a lot of experience with multitasking and a proven ability to “get the job done.” Throughout my college years, I balanced a very busy schedule and heavy workload and was able to earn three majors in just four years, while continuing to work part-time to earn living expenses.

I feel that my degree in German also gives me a broader perspective on the actions of the business world. Having a major within the field of humanities, we repeatedly discussed and examined issues concerning morals, ethics, and character. I believe an active consciousness towards these concerns and possessing a good strong moral character are essential to succeed professionally.

I believe that through my qualifications and skills I would prove to be a valuable asset to your company. I would like to be considered for a full-time position and I am available for a personal interview at your convenience. Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to review my résumé.

Sincerely,

Alexander B. George
