1450 Alta Vista St. 18N622 Spring Bluff Drive Dubuque, IA 52001 West Dundee, IL 60118 Dear Recipient, Thank you very much for considering me for a position within your company. Currently, I am a senior student at Loras College majoring in Accounting and minoring in Spanish. I am applying because I believe that your company would provide a great opportunity to gain experience within a professional organization, enable me to further my education in the accounting profession, and learn how an office runs on a day to day basis. I was made aware of this opportunity by the website of Indeed. As you can see from my resume, I have been employed in different types of work environments and I am currently in leadership positions through my campus activities. Employed as a caddy for six years, I have developed a number of skills, trained new caddies and have gained the respect of the men and women I work for. I learned to work alongside both members and other employees, developed professionalism and have gained a very strong work ethic This past summer I interned with Keeley Construction, a small yet highly respected construction company in Illinois and it was a great experience. What I took from my tenure there was a strong knowledge of Excel and organizational skills which then propelled me to achieve my duties in a timely manner. This semester I am currently interning at the respected law office of OConnor & Thomas, Dubuque, IA as a tax intern. There Ive learned to be a professional in an office environment and have experienced the knowledge and skills of a tax accountant. This has helped me gain valuable insight into accounting principles. Being elected the treasurer of the Loras Chapter of the Knights of Columbus is a great honor. It affords me the opportunity to work alongside the financial officer and increase my knowledge of accounting practices. Day in and day out I am confident I will further my education both academically and personally while employed at your company. I am a hard worker, detail-oriented and can learn from, and adapt to, new assignments and situations quickly. I have a strong work ethic, maintain a high level of professionalism and can turn constructive criticism into positive results. I believe these qualities will make me successful in the accounting profession. I look forward to hearing from you and I am available to arrange an interview at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time. Respectfully yours,
