Dear Sir/ Madam,

RE: Graduate Consultant Vacancy

I am writing to apply for the above role. Having recently graduated with a 2:1 Honours Degree in Economics, I have completed an internship for a Fortune 500 Technology corporation, which I believe makes me an ideal candidate for the Graduate Consultant role at FactSet.

From my membership in The Trading and Investment Club, I have an initial insight into the finance and investing industry which has inspired me to start a career in this sector. From my studies, I have an understanding of how markets and firms operate, which I feel will prepare me when working with clients from the finance industry.

Completion of the Econometrics at university has taught me data literacy, effective communication and creative problem solving. I gained experience in analysing large datasets using a statistical software package, and learned how to clearly explain complex relationships when writing up my results in a report.  My recent internship helped me to develop commercial awareness and a capability to work with corporate clients. For one of my projects, I directly contacted over 50 key clients to gain feedback on new technology, and used this as an opportunity to develop customer relationships and support sales. After presenting my findings to senior management, I was praised for my work, and similar projects were rolled-out across the business. I hope I can take my skills and experience to the Consultant role at FactSet to help deliver the excellent client service the firm is renowned for.

Eager to learn more, actively contribute and work hard to achieve my full potential, I hope to meet with you in person to explore my future at FactSet.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Yours faithfully,
