Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Vantage Partners

February 27, 2016

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please consider my application for the Consultants position at Vantage Partners. Blending a formal background in M&A with proven success in both valuation and financial modeling, I am lookng to transition into consulting practice and believe I would make a great fit for the Consultants position at your organization.

I believe that both my educational and most recent professional experiences have well prepared me for the analytical challenges that are faced in consulting industry. My most recent experience with the Singpoli Capital Group enables me to excel at in-depth industry research and professional presentations. As a Real Estate Acquisitions Analyst, I collaborated with associates and managing directors to adequately consolidate due diligence for the pitch book and deck memorandum. This required significant attention to detail and analytical work. As I demonstrated my skills and tenacity to my team, I was entrusted with more responsibilities and frequently interacted with the CFO to present my research.

I have also demonstrated, both at university and in my working life, other qualities that are relevant to the position, such as quantitative skills and leadership potential. During my Financial Engineering degree at the University of Southern California, I have arranged several inter-department modeling contests through the MFE Financial Modeling society. My teammates and I increased the society’s membership by 32% in eight months on the back of these competitions.

I have also enjoyed looking over the numerous cases found on various consulting firms’ websites specifically the logical approach taken when addressing the disparate frameworks. And I would love to work directly on the client side, understanding their business requirements and provide effective solutions. 

Sincerely,

BEN
