Sample cover letter for Full Time position at ZS

Human Resources Manager, ZS Associates

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to apply for the Business Consultant role at ZS Associates. Based on my research about the firm and my conversations with current ZS employees I am positive that ZS Associates will be a great fit for me and with my background I can make an effective contribution in firm’s growth and success. The firm’s focus on marketing and sales strategy, along with the analytical rigor and the qualitative research required has a strong appeal for me. In addition to my professional experience, my exposure to courses like marketing research, strategy management, Regression and managerial decision modelling in MBA have helped me further build keen interest and acumen in this line of work. I would love the opportunity to work at a prestigious firm like ZS Associates. Consulting offers one of the unique opportunities to think about critical business challenges and apply analytical models in this context. My engineering degree from IMS Ghaziabad has provided a robust foundation to my analytical as well as problem solving skill. Before joining Great Lakes, I was working with firms like Accenture and HCL. I have been assigned as a Senior Software Engineer in HCL and I was bestowed with the responsibility of ensuring the creation and maintenance of business reports. In order to ensure the same, I had to work with large amounts of data and collaborate with marketing, sales and finance teams. The reports design phase involved a lot of analytical rigor to ensure that the specifications are met. I worked on Analytical tools like SAP Business Objects and SAP BI. I have worked in variety of roles where I was required to work with direct as well as cross functional teams across different time zones. My experience as well as education has helped me to understand the importance of data driven decisions to achieve business goals. I enjoyed working on diverse cases/projects and helped the firm achieve highest quality results in terms of client’s success. I primarily joined Great Lakes to develop a holistic perspective of the business world, and to expand my business network. Working for a firm which believes in creating and protecting value, would be a great place to build my career from a long term perspective. The opportunity to work in a congenial setting which caters to diverse cases and works in collaboration with cross border teams speaks volumes about the great environment at ZS Associates. I would be glad to have the opportunity to further demonstrate my interest in the position by being invited for an interview. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks and Regards, Shobhit Sharma
