San Jose, CA 95412
Dear University Recruiting Team,
Please accept my resume for your Human Resources positions. I know you meet a
lot of students, but I spoke with you personally at your information session on the
CU campus and we talked a lot about San Jose, as I grew up in the area. You had
encouraged me to apply and I am very excited about the opportunity as a way to
put my double major in Human Resources Management and Psychology to good
use. I believe my dual degree is a great fit for human resources positions as I have
spent many classes studying and dissecting human behavior and actions. When
considering who to hire, I think being able to read between the lines and really
evaluate a candidates interest is a necessary skill.
I have had extensive experience representing the University of Colorado and I think
this kind of experience translates well to human resources as representatives are
in some ways, the face of the company. I have been entrusted with orienting all
incoming freshmen to the school and am comfortable speaking to a large group,
creating a positive first impression and educating students and parents on
processes and requirements. Over the past three summers while in this position, I
have learned a lot about the systems that go into running large scale events and
the organization required to create an impression and uphold a reputation. I could
use these skills for your positions, whether in your human resources department,
recruiting candidates or representing Stryker at a campus career event. My
attention to detail is impeccable as are my organizational and problem solving
skills. I enjoy researching solutions to problems, whether it be an employee
looking for benefit information or career fair materials that didnt arrive to their
destination.
I hope to have the opportunity to speak with you further regarding these open
positions. Thank you so much for your time.
Sincerely,
Suzie Que

service attitude would be a great fit for your position.
A first impression is very important in a business such as yours, whether its

industry has required excellent communication skills and professionalism
when working with guests and club members, while teaching swimming has
strengthened my ability to assess personalities, determine the most
effective means of communication and deliver understandable instructions.
I feel strongly these experiences would be beneficial to your account
management position, as I would listen to your clients and provide custom
solutions. Lastly, servicing and managing established accounts as well as
growing the business is a responsibility I am very comfortable with; I enjoy
the challenge of finding new ways to influence opinions, help educate

traits would be valuable in maintaining and growing Gallos business.

Anthem Branding
1000 North Street
Boulder, CO 80304
DEAR MS. ROBERTSON,
I am a senior marketing major at the Leeds School of Business scheduled to graduate in May 2014. Im very
pleased to apply for the Account Coordinator position you have posted through the Denver Egotist page.
This position is especially attractive to me as it would allow me to build upon the experiences Ive gained
through my internships at Egg Strategy and Room 214 in Boulder. I have greatly enjoyed being a part of the
creative cultures at both companies and am excited about the prospect of taking on a client-facing position at
Anthem Branding, as I have a strong passion for helping others achieve their goals.
My work experience, curiosity, and cheery personality make me a strong candidate for this position. At Egg
Strategy, my eyes were opened to the powerful relationships that brands can foster with human beings. What
energized me most in that role was working to understand tensions between people and the cultures in which
they live; I am always fascinated to discover how brands are able to resolve such tensions. At Egg I acquired a
deep toolbox filled with qualitative and quantitative gadgets to take on tough research questions and would be
excited to utilize this knowledge to assist Anthem with complex research projects. At Room 214, I learned just
how powerful big social media data can be in finding slight cultural nuances that, unleashed, can become
complete game changers for product categories. Additionally, working at Celestial Seasonings has helped me
tremendously with my public speaking and client relationship skills which ensures you that I would work
effectively and professionally with your clients. No matter the job, I always come to work with a smile on my
face, extending a warm hello to my coworkers.
At Anthem, Ill be able to contribute my passion for insight, organization, and professionalism in a very
meaningful way. I love this kind of work and cant wait to roll up my sleeves, dig in, and make a difference
alongside likeminded people who are always striving to turn the unseen gears of culture. Thank you so much
for your time and consideration; I feel that my work experience, personality, aptitudes, and skillsets would
make me an excellent addition to the Anthem team. I very much look forward to hearing back from you.
SINCERE THANKS,

I am a junior at the Leeds School of Business working toward a business degree with
a certificate in social responsibility.

me. I have studied your business model at length and find your practices,
commitment to the environment and focus on green initiatives very much in line
with my personal values. I would be grateful for the opportunity to learn from your
experts.
My education and work experience has been broad, but also focused on a key

and goal of benefitting society. My experience ranges from solar ecosystems to
organic food. In both companies I learned the importance and value of corporate
responsibility. I am studying Business Administration and am hoping to utilize my
degree to the fullest in a position involving all aspects of business, not just one area
of focus. Having marketing, social media, project management and administrative

possess an entrepreneurial spirit that is demonstrated by the various start- ups I
have also worked for. I have learned to quickly assess strengths and challenges of
different businesses requiring new skills, strategy and direction. This innovative
and creative way of thinking would be valuable when analyzing various scenarios
and potential programs for your department.

Dear Ms. Smith,
I was very excited when I learned about your Finance Development Coordinator
position because Ive spent many years in the service industry, love the energy and
atmosphere of the restaurant business and believe a role that combines my quantitative
and qualitative capabilities would be an ideal fit for me. My goal is to find an opportunity
that utilizes my finance education, but also allows me to work very closely with people,
which is something I know I need in my career in order to be fulfilled. I consider my
greatest strengths to be my interpersonal and communication skills and feel strongly these
traits combined with my organizational skills and deadline driven personality would be
an asset to Chipotle.
Im very impressed with Chipotles growth, plans for new restaurant concepts, level of
corporate responsibility and philanthropic efforts. One of the components of the job that
really stood out to me is the opportunity to work with architects, designers and
contractors. I began my education as an architecture major before switching to finance
and am very interested in real estate and development. I also believe my prior work
experience in the service industry will enhance my understanding of your growth goals
and contribute to my success. I am comfortable working with and communicating with
all types of personalities and am committed to leaving a positive impression on the
people I come in contact with. I would hope to use these traits working with your team,
vendors and external clients.
Additionally, I am able to make quick, confident decisions, and possess an easy-going,
amiable personality. My work ethic is strong, as I have paid for my education through
various jobs within the service industry and I am a high energy, enthusiastic person. Im
able to juggle many people, tasks and situations at once and take my commitments and
responsibilities very seriously. As a new Finance grad from the Leeds School of

Dear Mr. Johnson,

I am excited to submit my resume for your Financial Analyst position. I am very
familiar with your group as one of our good family friends in your New York office,
Fred Frederick, has given me quite a bit of information on your company. A position
with Morgan Stanley would be a great opportunity and after researching your
Public Finance Analyst program, I feel strongly it would be an ideal fit for me.
Working closely with clients, but also having the opportunity to utilize my analytical
skills is what has prompted me to apply. Working with the public finance group and
having the opportunity to impact the infrastructure that is so important to a
community is very appealing to me as I enjoy helping others and ultimately making
a difference.
I will be receiving my degree in Finance in December of 2013 from the University of
Colorado, Leeds School of Business and elected to supplement my coursework with
economics and math classes, as I am interested in securing a very quantitative and
analytical position. This academic combination would be an asset to Morgan
Stanley because I possess a macro view of the economy and how government
decisions affect businesses, along with finance coursework that has prepared me
for the detailed analysis and modeling you require. Additionally, my time spent in
private wealth management taught me the importance of professionalism in both
presentations and communications and I would look forward to using these
strengths to interact with both your internal employees and external clients and
begin making value added contributions to your team. My past managers would
describe me as hard working, confident in my ability to make decisions and
someone that easily establishes relationships with others. Always respectful of my
co-workers, I consider myself a strong team player and a quick learner and I am
excited about the opportunity to apply my personal strengths and knowledge to a
position with Morgan Stanley.
Thank you for your consideration, I am very interested in your position, the chance
to support your group and learn from industry experts. Public finance seems like a
very good fit for my personality and skillset and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Charlie

Hiring Manager
Real Real Estate,
LLC 1199 Pearl
Street
Boulder, CO
80304 Dear Hiring
Manager,
I am pleased to submit my resume for your Research/Analyst Internship that I saw
posted on the Career Buffs website. As a student at the Leeds School of Business,
University of Colorado, beginning my Senior year in August, I am excited about the
opportunity to learn more about real estate and finance to complement my
education. Real Estate is specifically of interest to me as both an investment and a
career, since it seems to combine two things Im very interested in, business and
people. My parents have been in the real estate industry for years and I like the
idea of working closely with people to meet their needs, but also using my problem
solving and analytical skills. I am also working toward a Certificate in
Entrepreneurship and enjoy the aspects of networking, building new relationships
and growing a business.
As you can see by my resume, Ive had many different work experiences. I feel
strongly that they all provided me with skills transferrable to your job. While at Rol
in Vail, Colorado, I worked effectively in a team, but also independently to ensure
all operations of the restaurant, bar, and bowling alley ran smoothly. Additionally, I
worked with customers, made sure all needs were met and cleaned the facility
daily. I would treat your customers and employees with the same amount of
respect and energy. My summers spent as a landscaper shows my ability to meet
deadlines and focus on tasks, no matter how repetitive or mundane. I am
comfortable working hard, often times without direction in a sometimes undesirable
conditions. Having no gardening experience, I quickly learned the knowledge
necessary to professionally maintain a quality garden and the skills needed to
communicate effectively with my clients. I am comfortable with my ability to learn
new things and believe my work ethic and interest in your business will allow me to
quickly pick up on what you would need me to do.
Lastly, I feel confident my coursework at the Leeds School of Business has prepared
for your position. My quantitative and analytical skills have been honed in my
various finance classes. Specifically, my Investment Management class taught me

the necessary skills to make a quality investment through the use of modeling and
analytical research. I would hope to be able to use this knowledge in your position.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review my qualifications. I hope to
hear back from you soon.
Sincerely,
Ron

Club 17 Fairway
Lane
Columbine Valley, Colorado
80123 Dear Mr. Rickleson,
I am applying for a summer internship to assist your Food and Beverage Director and
entire staff. Not
only do I understand the environment and expectations of your members and club,
but more importantly possess the work ethic, desire to provide excellent customer
service and management skills to excel in the position. The Columbine Country
Club seems very similar to the club my parents belonged to when I was younger, in
both size and atmosphere, so I feel I have firsthand knowledge of the level of
service necessary to not only maintain, but exceed the expectations of your
members. I look forward to using my personal strengths of working hard, serving
others and remaining humble and respectful for the betterment of Columbine
Country Club.
I am a junior at the University of Colorado pursuing a dual degree in Business
Operations Management and Spanish for the Professions. As you can see by my
resume, the majority of my work experience has been in the service area. Im
someone that enjoys working with people to reach a common goal of providing
efficient, effective customer service. I tend to derive my satisfaction and energy
from those around me and thrive in a team environment. While traveling abroad I
gained a more insightful understanding of different people, their cultures and
communication styles. I am someone who is able to integrate myself seamlessly
into groups and teams, but also possess the ability to work independently and will
represent your country club professionally.
This position also appeals to me because I am very focused on management and
operations. I chose to major in management because its very hands-on, people
and process oriented and is how I learn best. During the past two and a half years I
have completed several management courses and projects that have prepared me
for a Food and Beverage Management internship and learned to create supply and
work schedules, analyze processes, and communicate effectively and professionally
with suppliers. I feel an inherent sense of ethical responsibility that drives me to do
my best and give my all in every situation. I look forward to using my work ethic,
organization and time management skills in your
internship. Thank you for
your time, I will follow up with you next week if I havent heard back from you.
Best,

Kyle Kickson
BBB Banking Partners
Denver, CO
Dear Mr. Kickson,
I am writing to express my interest in the Analyst position. I am very interested in a career in Investment
Banking and believe that this position is a great opportunity. In my final semester at the University of
Colorado, Im currently working on a B.S. degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance,
along with a certificate in Quantitative Finance, and a Minor in Mathematics. The courses required for the
certificate and minor provide me with a deeper mathematical and economics background allowing me to apply
calculations and understand their interpretation more profoundly. I feel that my determination for success and
initiative, coupled with my strong quantitative background, match the qualifications necessary to thrive as an
Analyst for BBB Banking Partners.
Over the past two summers, Ive had the opportunity to work in investment management for both small and
large firms. Each of these firms helped develop my skills in new ways which are directly transferable to your
position. At Goldman Sachs, I joined the performance and risk team for the institutional advisory group and
learned firsthand the importance of due diligence and having a strong attention to detail. Having these
qualities helped me to quickly gain the trust of my team and take ownership of large extensive projects. I
became an integral part of the team, working on our biggest clients portfolio restructure, creating exhaustive
Excel spreadsheets to develop a new risk budget. This experience assures you I can be entrusted to handle a
high level of responsibility and am already familiar with the projects and tasks in this role. As an intern at
ABC Strategic Capital, Ive been exposed to various projects encompassing everything from deep research
and analysis on derivatives and structured products to marketing strategies and relationship management. At
a company of less than five employees, I constantly work in a team based environment and must
appropriately prioritize and
multi-task to prepare my portion for each meeting. I am a strong collaborator and would blend in easily with
your small team.
After working in investment management for the last year, Ive realized that I truly enjoy the strategy role that
is associated with derivatives. The strategy role in structuring a solution for clients whether in M&A or
business development leads me to believe that investment banking is where my passion lies and I can excel.
Thank you for considering my application for the Analyst position. Please see my attached resume for more
information regarding my credentials and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sue Williams
Deloitte Services LP
2200 Pearl Avenue, Suite 1600
Dallas, TX 75201
Dear Ms. Williams,
I am writing to express interest in your Business Technology Analyst career
opportunity posted on CareerBuffs. Last spring, I attended Deloittes Technology
Consulting Learning Session at the Leeds School of Business. At this event Ms.
Maureen Call shared with us a statement that resonated within me; she spoke
about the importance of finding a career where one has the ability to identify
what they are truly passionate about. I believe my passion for problem solving
and my ability to adapt to an ever-changing work environment matches that
required of a Business Technology Analyst.
My education and extracurricular experience at the Leeds School of Business has
taught me how to appropriately deal with ambiguity. As a Tri-Executive of the
Multicultural Business Student Association and Vice President of the Leeds
Association for Information Systems, I am constantly presented with situations
that require me to collaborate with my team members and adapt. In these
leadership positions, I have learned the significance of mutual accountability
within a team, and how to remain collected, positive, and professional when
unexpected circumstances arise. Though I am aware that I am still growing as a
leader, the lessons I have learned thus far have prepared me for the Business
Technology Analyst position. This is because I understand that as a consultant,
one must not be afraid of ambiguity and must be adaptable in order to best meet
the needs of a client.
An additional qualification for this position is my experience with information
management. My information management curriculum has taught me to be
patient and persistent when initially being introduced to new systems and
computer languages. I expanded this skill with an internship at Phillips 66, where
I encountered moments where I needed to be confident in myself, and take the
initiative in learning unfamiliar technologies. Never having worked with
SharePoint or coded HTML and CSS prior to my internship, I was challenged to
research and learn the fundamentals of the software and coding languages. I
used this in order to reconfigure and improve the usability of Phillips 66s Project
Manager Intranet portal. My experience as an intern has aided me in
understanding that achieving a goal or completing a project should not be
stunted by being intimidated of technology.
My ability to handle ambiguity and willingness to learn new technologies would
be a perfect partnership with Deloitte in your Business Technology Analyst
position. Given the opportunity to be a part of your company would allow me the
chance to learn and grow with the best and would be a personal achievement and
honor.
More information regarding my education, experience and qualifications are
highlighted in the attached resume; however, I would appreciate the opportunity
to meet with you at your convenience to discuss my application. Please contact
me at (720) 999-9999 or e-mail me at izzy.information@colorado.edu.
