Dear Hiring Manager,

I am contacting you to express my interest in joining the XXX. as an Associate (London), as advertised on the careers website. I believe that my diverse working experience along with my studies will prove valuable to XXX.

As a project based XXX at XXX, in the past 10 months, I was a core team member of several diverse engagements. I analysed the operating model of the security organisation (of a large Telco) and also sized their functional areas based on internal interviews, industry best practice, analyst recommendation and peers. I led and delivered a market sizing and buying behaviour engagement for enterprise end-user computing while also presenting the final results to various stakeholders. I delivered one work stream of a high profile cost benchmark engagement and also designed and compiled the full report addressed to the CIO. The roles preceding XXX required and developed a mixture of skills involving stakeholder management, problem solving, communication and team work.

I will complete a XXX degree from XXX in XXX  in XXX. I developed strong analytical and quantitative skills through coursework in business and information technology courses. In addition, I was able to formalise previous work experience in theoretical frameworks and also transfer newly learned knowledge to hands-on experience at XXX and XXX. Furthermore, in my final thesis I aim to develop my skills and knowledge by analysing the strategic implications of technologies on the Telecom industry.

I welcome the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications and motivation for working as an Associate. I am eager to apply my energy, experience, and enthusiasm to XXX’s projects and look forward to hearing from you soon.
