Sample cover letter for Full Time position at RBC

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing you with much interest after hearing of the open position in the Securities Lending Group with RBC Capital Markets. I believe my professional experience and career interests are well aligned with the position.

I am committed to succeed both personally and professionally. I work well with others and naturally gravitate toward leadership roles. I take pride in utilizing independent thinking to resolve problems and identify ways to improve efficiency. I enjoy mentoring my peers as well as learning from others. These traits are evidenced by my expedited promotions while working at both HVFCU and FINRA.

I believe this position provides a unique fit for both RBC and myself. My experience at FINRA has provided me with extensive exposure to the funding and liquidity framework of financial institutions, and specifically within that, the role and mechanics behinds securities lending. I personally have aspirations to build a career path towards trading and portfolio management. In working towards that goal, I have successfully completed the CFA program, earning the CFA charter.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss the position in more detail and the specifics of my credentials.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
