Connor Waines Management Consulting

Dear Mr Bennett,
After attending your company presentation at Monash University last Tuesday, and speaking with John
Smith from the Human Resources Department at the cocktail event afterwards, I am enthusiastically
writing to apply for a position in your graduate program. I would like to take this opportunity to outline
some of my qualifications and attributes that closely match your criteria.
Currently, I am in the final year of my Bachelor of Commerce degree at Monash University. My studies
have given me an excellent overall understanding of business practice, and I have majored in Financial
Management, which prompted my interest in management consulting where I hope to put my interests
and learning into practice.
I was particularly interested to note from your presentation that you looked for applicants who could
operate effectively within a team and could apply their creativity. At Coles Supermarket my main role is
to work collaboratively with staff, supervisors and merchandisers in organising floor space. This has given
me the chance to develop my teamwork and interpersonal skills. In terms of creativity, my natural
inclination is to look for new ways of doing things, and a good example of this was a promotional strategy
that as President, I developed for the Handball Club, which resulted in an 80% increase in membership.
I am particularly interested in joining Connor Waines as you put an emphasis on working with clients to
solve business problems; a philosophy that I believe engenders trust and long term relationships.
Thank you for considering my application and I would welcome the chance to discuss it further with you
at interview.
Yours sincerely,
Alison Anderson
