Dear Mr. Anderson,

With reference to your job posting on [website.com] under section [‘Vacancies‘], I would like to apply for the junior consultant position at [Consultancy Group X] in Boston, MA. I had the pleasure of speaking with [Name Surname] at the MA Consulting Event in Boston, and he suggested that I contact you about the job opening. As a long-term admirer of [CGX], I want you to consider this application for a consultancy position in your department.

To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Thomas Green] and I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Finance at the London School of Economics (LSE) with an expected completion date of May 2024. I regularly read [CGX]’s reports on financial services and the insights delivered by [Name Surname]. These reports are exceptional in terms of quantitative problem-solving and more accurate compared to most other consultancies. I am thrilled about the prospect of joining [CGX], hence getting the opportunity to work and learn from the best consultants in the industry. I am convinced that my problem-solving, analytical and interpersonal skills could be of great contribution to your team.

I am, with a GPA of 3.9 among the 12% of students with the best academic results. In my master’s program at LSE, I got selected as top of the class to tutor a group of 15 students by reinforcing Corporate Finance learning concepts and by correcting and evaluating the group’s investment recommendations. I had the privilege to present our investment strategy at a client meeting with senior management of [Consultancy Group Y]. I was praised by management for my strong leadership capacity and ability to communicate complex ideas.

I truly believe that my analytical and quantitative problem-solving skills would make me a valuable asset to [CGX]. Therefore, I welcome the opportunity to demonstrate my insights on [Topic] in a personal meeting. I have included my resume for your review. If you have any questions about my application or would like to know more, please do not hesitate to be in contact via [Email Address] or [Phone number]. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Thomas Green
