Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Bates White

Dear The Brattle Group Recruiter,

I am a second year MA Economics candidate at XXXX University. Upon exploring your website, I am intrigued by how you utilize the power of economics and statistical modelling with the highest discretion to provide consulting and expert testimony that influence the course of market development. I am writing to apply for your 2017 Full Time Research Analyst position with my confidence of excelling with my extensive knowledge in economics, statistics, finance, and English composition.

I have always been extremely keen on the trust and antitrust topic. Through my coursework in Industrial Organization, I carefully examined the market structure and the market power of major airlines. By employing the economic surplus graphs under different degrees of price discrimination behaviors and reviewing economists’ empirical studies in this field, I reached an already established conclusion that pricing discriminations in airfares do not necessarily cause economic inefficiency with my own thinking. If I will ever have a chance to continue this study, I would focus on what a role the Sherman Antitrust Act is playing in the surplus distributions between passengers and airlines, and also among airlines.

The Brattle Group is a community where intelligent brains and vibrant hearts gather. I wish to earn the chance to take the most of both the multi-day new employee training program and New Consulting Training program, to meet up with and to learn from seniors and other brilliant coworkers, and to push myself to the limit. In the meantime, I will always hold this principle that before responding to the clients, I respond to truth and integrity.

I enclosed my resume within the application and hope you find my knowledge and experience a great potential addition to The Brattle Group. I am looking forward to further discussing my devotion to the industry and enthusiasm for your company.

Sincerest regards,

XXXX
