Hiring Manager
Deloitte
United Arab Bank Building, 13th Floor,
Al Buhaira, 5470

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the ACA Program at Deloitte Sharjah as advertised on LinkedIn. I am confident that my background and skills combined with my passion to perform complex analyses would provide much value and benefit to your organization.

I am currently employed as a Procurement Expert at ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions. Working with a Fortune 500 company taught me a great deal about how large organizations deal with and solve complex technical, commercial, and financial problems. During this experience, I successfully applied my analytical and research skills by performing market analysis and audits, and developing project-based procurement solutions and strategies.

Besides that, my B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Nottingham provided me with a broad foundation in engineering science, a structured way of analyzing problems, and the opportunity to develop interpersonal and management skills. 

I see your vacancy as a unique opportunity to work in an innovative company and to benefit from the latest cutting-edge global business solutions. I jump at the opportunity to gain top-class experience and exposure to leadership and look forward to playing  an important role in helping your team to deliver the changes required to achieve your ambitions.

I thank you in advance for considering my application and I would very much like an opportunity to meet with you to discuss my candidacy further.

Yours sincerely,
Billie Sanchez

Dear Hiring Committee,

I would like to express my interest in the Staff Accountant position with KPMG LLP. I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce from Rotman Commerce at the University of Toronto at  the end of this month and plan to pursue a CPA designation.

I recently had the opportunity of meeting Jennifer Zhang, Tax Analyst at the KPMG Information session where I learned more about the firm’s initiative  of building a diverse and inclusive business culture with clients. I am confident that my strong academic background in accounting and my leadership, analytical, team building, and customer service skills will allow me to make a strong contribution to your firm.

My interest in audit and tax has evolved from my exposure to financial statements and tax compliance required from my volunteer experience at Canada Revenue Agency. I also have developed strong leadership and customer service skills while working within my current role of Vice President, Rotman Commerce Accounting Society, where I am responsible for managing a team of 12 students, co-facilitating key on-campus recruiting events, and overseeing all budgeting for sponsorships with external stakeholders.

I feel that I will uphold KPMG’s objective of being a self-motivated industry leader dedicated to delivering global results and a high value of service to clients. Thank you in advance for your consideration of my application. I look forward to the opportunity for an interview where I can further discuss how I can make a positive contribution to KPMG.

Sincerely,
Jorge Santos

Dear Hiring Manager,

I attended your recruitment talk at Polytechnic University on  September 13  and I was impressed by the prospect of an auditing and international atmosphere at work in PwC. Since I have a compound background both in Engineering and Finance and I am currently pursuing a master's  degree in Accounting  and expect to graduate in 2017, I welcome the opportunity to become a part of the PwC Assurance team and utilize my knowledge and skills to assist your clients to achieve their goals.

One of the primary competencies  of  a professional service provider is to communicate with clients effectively and efficiently. This skill is extremely essential to an auditor and I have some work experience in interacting with customers as a representative in a mutual funds company. This was an amazing opportunity to enhance my communication skills with customers from different backgrounds  because it allowed me to put myself in their shoes and  understand the points that  they wanted to deliver. I also possess strong analytical  skills which I learned in my  last job as a social media account and content marketing specialist. 

I believe that joining PwC is the ideal beginning to launch my career in public accounting and will help me grow fast and enrich my life. I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration.

Thank you,
Fan Bintai

Mr. Kirkpatrick
Ernst & Young
18101 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 1700

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick,

During a recent conversation with Professor Joe Fasby, my faculty advisor in the Accounting department at Capital University, we discussed the possibility of several upcoming openings for auditors at Ernst & Young. Professor Fasby has worked for Ernst & Young in the past and feels that my education and experience would make me a good match for this type of position. 

Professor Fasby told me that your organization values both practical experience and leadership skills. During my junior and senior years at Capital, I worked as a student accountant in the University bookstore. I also have held leadership positions in the Student Government and within the residence halls as a Resident Assistant. 

I will graduate from Capital University in May with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Accounting. I’m very interested to learn more about these positions at Ernst & Young and look forward to the possibility of interviewing with you.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Chris M. College
