Osmose HR Manager

West Covina, CA

Dear Hiring Manager,

It was with much excitement that I learned of Osmose’s search for a Data Analyst. I am highly interested in consideration for this position since it would enable me to apply my statistical skills. As a statistics student, I have a passionate interest in the field of data analysis and have experiences of using varied analytical techniques in the insights to deal with big data. I gained problem solving skills from my academic study and learned presentational and interpersonal skills from work experiences. I have excellent individual performance and prepared to work as a team. My undergraduate experience at UCLA has equipped me with a deep understanding about machine learning and data mining. I am thankful that the rigorous learning environment unique to UCLA has trained my expertise in not only R language, but Python as well. I am also on the process of learning SQL online. My multi-tasking, fast learner, time management abilities and ability to work productively in a high-spaced, pressured environment are also some of the many qualities I have polished along my work experiences and education. I am very interested in discussing Osmose’s requirements for a data analyst who can locate and define new process improvement opportunities. I would be delighted to attend for an interview and can be contacted on 626-***-**** or at ***********@*******.*** at any time.

Thank you for your time and consideration

Best regards,

Frances
