Johnson Human Resources Director First Bank of Boston 1137 Main Street New Rochelle, NY 10642 Dear Mr. Johnson: I recently learned of your need for a Portfolio Assistant through our Career Services department on campus. I am very excited about this opportunity as I recently graduated with an Accounting major from SUNY Westchester Community College . In addition to my strong academic background in Finance and Accounting, I offer significant business experience having completed an internship with First Union Bank. Through my experience at the bank as well as in a local retail store, I developed strong customer service and organizational skills and learned the importance of working as part of a team. As Vice President of the Accounting Club, I developed leadership abilities, planned numerous campus events, and organized a field trip to the Federal Reserve Bank in Manhattan. I consistently maintained a GPA of 3.3 and was invited for membership into the Alpha Beta Gamma International Business Honor Society. I am attracted to First Bank of Boston because of its recent growth and superior reputation as a leader in developing a global marketing strategy. Working as a Portfolio Assistant will allow me to use my strong analytical and research skills and assist customers in managing their investments. I have enclosed my resume for your review and hope to be able to meet with you to discuss this opportunity. I will call to confirm your receipt of this letter next week. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely James Garner (Advertised position on campus)
