Dear Mr. Proctor,
I read Mega Corp.’s advertisement for a Quantitative Analyst with great interest. Prior to relocating to California I worked in the same role for a Fortune 500 company in New York and have been searching for just such a position. In addition to nine years of experience I hold a Ph.D. in Statistics from New York University.
My prior role required me to work with a team of mathematicians and engineers to analyze investment data for trading stocks on the stock market. I conducted research and utilized statistical models on a daily basis. My excellent written communication abilities came to bear in the reports I authored. Besides great research writing and analytical skills I am an excellent presenter and verbal communicator. I have often presented findings and data to large corporate audiences. My recommendations were valued and often implemented by corporate executives to meet investment strategy and stock-trading needs. I would be an excellent choice for the Quantitative Analyst position available at Mega Corp.
I anticipate that upon review of my credentials resume and references you will agree. I would like to meet with you personally as soon as possible and invite you to contact me via telephone to schedule the interview.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Howerton
