Dear Ms Oldham,
I am writing in response to your recent advertisement in the Michael Smurfit Graduate School of Business and therefore have great pleasure in enclosing my curriculum vitae for your attention. I am currently completing a Master of Business Studies in Management Consulting here in Dublin and will graduate this summer.
As a member of the Institute of Management Consultancy in London, I have been interested in management consultancy for some time, and believe, that I can offer your company the benefits of many skills and knowledge developed through my education and work. Such skills would be required for the position of consultant within your firm. Among my assets are: strong analysis capacity, adaptation and problem solving, an open mind, a sense of initiative/organisation, listening/communication skills, leadership/team spirit, integrity and professionalism. My various experiences have increased my flexibility, perseverance and resourcefulness, and clearly given me the opportunity to work in a variety of situations along with diverse groups of people from different backgrounds.
During my MBS, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of the management consultancy business through case study analysis, guest speakers and practice from a real and challenging mission with an international client. Successful in the management of my own company for two years, in parallel to my studies, and familiar with different key areas in a business environment, I have proven myself to be motivated by the business sector and as a result, would therefore like to be part of a successful consulting organisation.
I am particularly interested in working for Deloitte Consulting given that it is a leading professional service firm with a world-wide reputation for its achievements with clients and staff alike, common sense approach to solving complex business problems and friendly atmosphere. The excellent career opportunities that you offer and your competency based learning programme should certainly allow me to fulfil my career aspirations and my ultimate ambition to become a partner.
Thank you for considering this application. I would be available for interview at any convenient time and look forward to hearing from you the soonest.
Yours sincerely,
Vincent Dorange
