Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Royal Bank of Canada
wealth internship
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am currently a penultimate student studying Economics at University College London, and am interested in joining the Wealth Management Internship Programme for the 2015 intake.
My interest in Royal Bank of Canada began from project work during my bachelor degree in Economics and Business, where I studied the management structure of Royal Bank of Canada and analyzed the company’s performance in the past two years. Alongside my degree, I led a team of three to participate in the 2014 Chicago Mercantile Exchange futures trading competition with the aspiration to apply my understanding of employees’ motivation and use my academic knowledge in economics in the field of futures trading. Using results from our analysis of prices and volume, trading ideas generation and study of the correlation of different asset classes, we produced a trading plan that enabled the team to make profit in the competition. I enjoy the process of creating and executing a strategy.
I am hugely motivated by the opportunity to be actively involved in a group project alongside other Wealth Management interns across different locations because it allows me to share my knowledge with other interns. By joining Royal Bank of Canada, I could apply my academic skills and knowledge to a challenging work based environment, which I had gained as an Economics student at University College London. I would like to work for a company that encourages early responsibility. Therefore, I will be able to contribute to the team as well. As a University College London’s Investment Society member, I am committed to help other members to enhance their knowledge in Finance. In this academic year, I have delivered one workshop to members on the topic of role of Investment Banks in the capital market.
I am particularly interested in a career in the Wealth Management division at Royal Bank of Canada because I am looking for a career that would give me the opportunity to combine my analytical strengths with working closely with people from different backgrounds.
Please find my enclosed resume for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
