Sample cover letter for Full Time position at SEI

Dear Hiring Manager:

I am writing to express my interest in the Fund Accountant position advertised on the career section of SEI’s website.

As detailed in my attached resume, I have recently earned my B.S. in Economics from the University of Pittsburgh, where I quickly learned the importance of organization and time management. Through extensive coursework and extracurricular activities I strengthened my skills in analyzing qualitative and quantitative data, communicating my ideas and results to diverse audiences, and simplifying information in order to identify and solve problems. Last summer I was able to use all of these skills in a professional setting through a research analysis internship with Family Office Metrics LLC. In addition, my position as co-founder and treasurer of The Thirst Project at Pitt gave me valuable experience in both teamwork and leadership while working under pressure to meet deadlines.

The unique wealth management solutions that SEI creates to help clients achieve lasting success are unrivaled by those of any other company in the investment services industry. The chance to become an integral part a company that has been recognized for its history of innovation is a tremendous opportunity. Additionally, being able to work in a competitive, yet supportive environment that values performance and integrity so highly is extremely motivating to me. As a highly ambitious individual with a strong work ethic and excellent interpersonal skills, I believe that I would be a valuable asset to the investment fund services department and the company as a whole.

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss how my qualifications will be beneficial to the success of SEI. Thank you for taking the time to review and consider my application and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Your Name
