15 June 2022

Dear Mr. Rogan,

I am applying for the business analyst position in the Sydney CBD offices that I
found out about through Seek.com. I am applying for the job to obtain a better
understanding of how a business analyst operates when dealing with a large
company such as Deloitte. Additionally, I would like to work for Deloitte due to its
global connections which will allow me to develop new skills relating to business
analytics and economics.

Two achievements that demonstrate my ability to fulfill the role of business analyst
are my excellent grades that I achieved in Economics and Business Strategy at
University and the “2021 Most Efficient Intern” award that I received whilst working
for Amazon in Sydney. These two achievements required extremely hard work,
team co-operation, and an eye for business analysis, and I believe that these skills
will be largely beneficial to this role and how it is fulfilled.

Whilst at The University of Sydney and throughout my time at Shore I had a deep
interest for computer programming and how it can easily automate various digital
tasks. The incorporation of computer programming into business analysis will allow
me to operate much more efficiently which will in turn increase the productivity of
the business. Additionally, my superb communication skills will allow me to form
cohesive bonds with my co-workers which will further increase the quality of work
that myself and the department will produce.

I want to sincerely thank you for looking at this application and I am extremely
excited to meet you and further discuss what I can bring to the table in the position
of business analyst.

Yours sincerely Signature:

Braden Dent
