Dear Sir/ Madam

I am writing to express my interest in the Graduate Consulting opportunity circulated by , . I find this presented opportunity interesting, and I believe that my strong technical experience and education will make me a very competitive candidate for this position.

I am a Final year Computer Science student in line for a First Class Honours degree. I achieved an overall grade of 71% for my second year average. I recently undertook an industrial placement as a Science Application Service Desk Analyst at xxxxxx where I was praised particularly for thinking big about the problem and for being a self-starter. This work experience also enhanced my communication skills and a strong work ethic. I achieved a grade of 91% for the exam of one of my final year modules, Formal Methods proving my analytical skills which will be an asset to the role and company at large.

I am very keen to work for your company because of your outstanding commitment to charity work, within communities. I understand you are always looking for ways in which you can give back to the community. As a keen volunteer myself I have a desire to make a contribution to other charities and would really enjoy working for an organisation with this ethos. Also based on the research I have done I have, The Test People was number 44 in the Tech Track 100 in 2013.

When I visited your Web site, I found some impressive client testimonials. This convinced me further to apply for the role as you aim to commit to your client’s goals. I would hope to add to the pool of expertise and excellent reputation of The Test People. I was also impressed that you have been voted one of the top 100 companies to work for within the Sunday Times and are the 14th Fastest Growing Technology Company in Deloitte's list. This is the company I've been looking for, a place where my background, experience and skills can be put to use. I believe I can be a valuable asset to your organization.
