I wouldn't say it's a great cover letter - it's pretty generic and could easily be tweaked slightly for any job/industry.
Also it's sort of sad that he has to debase his university and himself for the lords of finance to consider him.
- codegeek 14y ago"could easily be tweaked slightly for any job/industry." I disagree. This can work well for an intern position because whatever this guy wrote in the email, is a greaet pitch to be an intern. But if I am looking for a specialist in a particular niche/industry, at best I would be impressed by such email but will not hire him just because he talks straight.
- tedchs 14y agoIn my opinion, the best thing this guy shows is competent business writing skills, which is a strong predictor of the ability to learn whatever field an intern will be joining.
- betelnut 14y agoYou're right, I should be more clear. What I meant by that is that there's no clear explicit reason why he's interested in investment banking rather than marketing, consulting, publishing, advertising, whathaveyou.
