RE: Application for employment
To whom it may concern,
I hold a Master of Arts Degree in Applied Economics from Buffalo State College and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Previously, I had been enrolled at NCU (Northcentral University). I had taken at least two complete courses so far in order to partially satisfy the 57 credible academic units that are mandatory for the degree program’s successful completion. I had registered at NCU in order to take the DBA, or the Doctor of Business Administration, with a specialization in Marketing. My previous GPA was about 2.67. I can also retake any course necessary in order to qualify for a job since a prospective employer might require me to enhance my GPA.
I have also taken courses in accounting principles and capital markets at the University of Buffalo in satisfaction of my undergraduate Degree. I was employed by ICT Group where I conducted telephone surveys of persons residing throughout the United States of America on a wide range of subjects. I have knowledge and experience working in an office and school setting operating Microsoft programs such as Word and Excel. I would also bring to bear in my duties, knowledge and experience gained as an intern at the Paralegal Services of Buffalo, New York between August 2003 and October 2003.
I look forward to working with your firm and I can make myself available for an interview at any time.
Should I be offered employment with your organization, I will strive to work to the best of my ability.
Yours Sincerely,
Francis Drakes
