Cover Letter
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in a Finance or Economics internship with your organization. I am currently a senior Economics major at the University of Connecticut, where I have developed a strong foundation in analytical thinking, problem-solving, and data-driven decision making.
Through my academic coursework and professional experience, I have gained hands-on experience working in fast-paced environments that require accuracy, accountability, and teamwork. My roles in customer service and operations have strengthened my ability to analyze situations, manage responsibilities under pressure, and communicate effectively - skills that directly translate to a corporate finance or economics setting.
As Captain of the University of Connecticut Men's Club Volleyball Team, I have further developed leadership and organizational skills by coordinating practices, leading team strategy, and serving as a liaison between team members and leadership. This experience has reinforced my ability to take initiative, manage competing priorities, and work toward collective goals.
I am eager to apply my academic knowledge and professional skills in a corporate environment and to contribute meaningfully to your organization while continuing to learn and grow within the field of finance and economics. Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications.
Sincerely,
Andrew Knapp
