Sample cover letter for Full Time position at New York Federal Reserve
Bank Examiner
Donna Mastroianni
Graduate Recruiter
New York Federal Reserve Bank
33 Maiden Lane
New York, NY 10001
Dear Ms. Mastroianni:
I am a second-year graduate student at the University of Michigan School of Public Policy,
concentrating in international trade and economic policy. I recently attended your presentation in Ann
Arbor, and I enjoyed hearing the first-hand account of activities at the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York. Your presentation highlighted the dynamic environment of the Bank and further fueled my
interest in pursuing full-time employment. Additionally, I learned of the many opportunities in the
Bank Supervision Group and wish to be considered for the Bank Examiner position within the
Financial Examinations Department.
This past summer I worked for two agencies in the Executive Office of the President conducting
research, providing analysis, and making recommendations on courses of action responsive to agency
needs and goals. Specifically, I worked with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to forward the
Administration’s policy objectives for increasing trade flows with Sub-Saharan Africa. At the Office of
Management and Budget, I performed budget analysis to determine possible funding allocations for a
federal health agency. Prior to attending graduate school, I also worked in a variety of capacities
where analytic skills were applied to making assessments and offering solutions to problems,
including positions with a law firm and with non-profit associations.
I am very enthusiastic about employment possibilities with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and
hope to apply my professional experiences to the exciting work of the Bank. Namely, I hope to bring
analytical, communication, leadership, and computer skills to bear as an Examiner with the Bank
Supervision Group. As such, I have enclosed a resume for your review and look forward to hearing
from you soon.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
