Thanks to articles in American Banker, The Philadelphia Enquirer, and Delaware Valley Today, I am well aware of the reputation you've earned for customer-responsive financial services throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. The prospect of joining such a team makes me particularly interested in pursuing your announcement at this time. I believe that I will bring a solid foundation and great potential to Union American! My studies in History and Management at Syracuse University have prepared me for the future. Specific courses in Accounting, Money & Banking, Marketing and Statistics should help me enormously to master the training you outlined in the announcement. I'm certain that the research, writing and class presentations featured in so many of my History classes will make me a solid critical thinker and communicator. Thanks to your announcement and research I've conducted on careers in banking, I know that these studies and capabilities are sought in today's banking industry. My career research has also indicated where aspects of my work experiences and activities should afford me an advantage. As a peer advisor and retail sales associate, I've enjoyed helping people make personal decisions, something I'll look forward to doing again in consumer banking. As a camp counselor and committee chairperson for my sorority, I've also strengthened my time and resource management abilities while building and participating in teams. Working in a team setting at a branch bank should really be fun! All in all, I'm convinced that my background is ideally suited for the consumer banking field! Naturally, I would welcome an interview to expand on the qualifications I've outlined in the enclosed resume. At your convenience, I can schedule either a visit to Philadelphia or a phone interview to start the selection process. Should you prefer the latter, my number is (315) 421-2020. Since my days are quite full, please leave a message on my machine, and I'll return your call within 24 hours. Thank you for your attention and consideration of my credentials. Sincerely, Sarah Johnson -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example 2: Dear Mr. Mellon: I read your company's description in Job Choices and would like to inquire about employment opportunities in your management training program. Further research, especially the article in the Wall Street Journal of July 23 that commented so favorably about your market sensitivity and controlled growth strategy, tells me Midwest is a company I should really consider seriously. I want to work in retail management in the midwest and will receive my B.S. in Retail Management from Syracuse University this May. My interest in retail started in Junior Achievement during high school, and developed further through a variey of sales and retail positions held during college. My internship with Macy's East convinced me to pursue a career in retail. When I researched the top retailers in the field, Midwest Mercantile Company emerged as having a strong market position, an excellent training program, and a reputation for excellent customer service. In short, you provide the kind of professional retail environment I seek. My resume is enclosed for your consideration. My education and experience match the qualifications you seek in your management trainees, but they don't tell the whole story. I know from customer and supervisor feedback that I have the interpersonal skills and motivation needed to build a successful career in retail management. I know how busy you must be during this time of year, but I would appreciate a few minutes of your time. I will call you during the week of September 15 to discuss employment possibilities. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Craig S. Watson
