Subject: Application for the role of Associate Consultant (AC)

Bain & Company

Dear Hiring Manager,

Since I was young, I have been driven to take charge and inspire others to achieve their goals. Whether
leading my siblings on a family trip or taking charge of a group project in school, I have always had a
passion for guiding and supporting others.

My commitment to leadership is reflected in my role as the student council president at my university.

Through this position, I have honed my communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills and
have had the opportunity to impact my fellow students' lives positively. As a result, I have learned that
true leadership is not about taking control but empowering others to reach their full potential. I also co-
founded Saroor, a premium clothing brand, where I led the production and design departments,
organized the marketing campaign, and increased revenue by 35% for the winter season. This
experience has allowed me to develop negotiation, project management, and leadership skills.

As I researched Bain, I was immediately impressed by the diverse workforce and culture of mutual
support and collaboration. The commitment to employee satisfaction and development is evident in
how the senior managers' compensation is linked to the satisfaction rates of their subordinates. This
demonstrates a dedication to creating a positive work environment where everyone can thrive. As
someone who values diversity and inclusivity, I am thrilled to see a company prioritizing these values. I
believe that a diverse workforce leads to better problem-solving and innovation, and I am excited about
the prospect of joining a team that recognizes this.

My experience, education, and skill set make me a perfect fit for the team at Bain Consultancy, and I
look forward to contributing my skills and knowledge to help clients navigate complex challenges and
achieve their goals. Employees with a vision and a strategic mindset can help their firms adapt to new
trends and technologies, innovate their service offerings, and stay ahead of their competitors, and this is
precisely why my leadership role has forced me to apply for this position.

Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,

Muhammad Umer Faheem
