Financial Analyst
Dear Hiring Professional:
As a person that has been in the customer service industry for the past seven years I can
relate to and understand the importance of providing information in a prompt manner,
listen to client needs, demonstrate mutual respect and always have a professional
demeanor. With a degree in finance from North Carolina University, I have also gained
other valuable skills through academic coursework. As a finance student it was important
to develop the ability to use Excel to prepare asset allocation charts, risk scatter plot
graphs, and decision tree analysis; as well as other financial documents. Through work
experience and academics I have honed my communication skills for presentations,
customer contact, research and professional and technical writing.
My career goal is to join an investment advisory firm, specializing in both private wealth
and portfolio management. I am an individual that knows I may need to start out as an
intern and work my way through the industry to gain further knowledge and experience.
Equipped with leadership and interpersonal skills enhanced by education at an excellent
business school, and bolstered by unique experiences, I am confident that I can contribute
significantly to your firm. I appreciate your time and consideration in reviewing my
credentials and I look forward to speaking with you.
