Sample cover letter for Full Time position at McKinsey
Associate
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read with great interest, one of your articles”. Having 10 years of work experience in oil and gas industry, it really broadened my horizons on how to make the most out of energy resources by combining good strategy and careful execution to produce a long-lasting impact. I admire the fact that the recommendations are a product of profound investigation and analysis on broad subject areas, which initially sparked my interest in associate position at your company.
As a project engineer, I was mostly involved in the whole stage of the projects, which allowed me to coordinate with diverse and dynamic teams. We were put to the test as the main contractor of our department had failed to perform due to internal problems. I then proposed to complete one of the most critical projects in-house and managed to save 15% of the estimated cost. In addition to that, I rapidly developed the sense of project scheduling by working as a project control. The ability to incorporate the perspectives, requirements and objectives of the client while internally coordinating with another departments was critical to ensure the sustainability of the project.
Studying abroad in the UK was a unique experience during which I gained international experience. Through my studies I have greatly enhanced my written and oral communication skills due to the many presentations, written reports, essays and assignments required. Moreover, I was elected as the president of Student Society in favour of other 2 candidates. Despite all the responsibilities I had and deadlines I had to achieve, I managed to graduate with distinction thanks to good time managements, lots of energy and teamwork.
I value the opportunity to work on a prestigious project at your company as a way to put my communication, leadership and critical problem solving skills into the field of management consulting. If given the opportunity to be apart of your company, I will establish myself to be a great asset for the team and for the business.
