To whom it may concern,
I read with great interest about your recent job posting. My name is David Ackerman. I am 28 years old and live in New York City. I graduated from FAU in 2011 with my degree in Sports Management.
I am an experienced, highly motivated underwriter looking to further my career and take the next step, as you can see I have been working in the field for over 6 years. I have worked in many different positions in the underwriting industry and your company is exactly what I am looking for. I have worked from servicing marketing accounts and providing record keeping to managing and organizing all supporting documents pertaining to specific companies. I am good with direction and extremely well with working with others. I like to give direction, but also take when needed.
In addition, I have also worked on the computer and technical side with administrative support and property producers. I have also trained junior underwriters to help improve accuracy and consistency within the company. I am a great teacher, and an even better learner. I know with my knowledge and the opportunities presented in your company I can succeed and hit the ground running.
In my current position at TAPCO incorporated, I am a commercial underwriter. I am responsible for renewing business policies, risk assessments, and approving and changing them. As well as performing high quality professional services to agents and several different companies. However, I feel my abilities can be better utilized in a different environment.
I also want to mention, I am keen on joining your team because of its impeccable reputation. I know I will be an asset to your company due to my ability to persevere as well as my professionalism. I am a hardworking, dedication, organized, and not to mention very passionate about what I do, and I know this position is perfect for me.
Attached is my resume. I look forward to meeting with you and receiving the opportunity to talk about the position further
Thank you for your time & consideration,
David J. Ackerman
