Dear Ms. Smith,
Application for Business Analyst Position
I am writing with reference to your advertisement in the National University of Singapore (NUS) eJob Centre for want of a business analyst. I consider that my credentials and interests match your requirements and hope to begin a career in your organization upon graduation in May 2011.
As indicated in the enclosed resume, my keen interest in the engineering field has led me to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering from NUS. During the course of my study, I have developed strong analytical and communication skills through involvement in many different projects. One recent example would be my industrial project with TECH Semiconductor, in which my team and I had to solve an optimization problem involving the Preventive Maintenance scheduling. The experience has allowed me to develop my technical skills; as well as obtain other invaluable skills such as the ability to motivate a team and liaise with professionals.
Besides excelling in a team, I have also acquired good programming knowledge, namely Visual Basic in Excel, C/C++ programming and Auto Mod Simulation, which would deem essential in the position of a business analyst. Furthermore, I would be able to offer my extensive knowledge of inventory management, statistics and simulation required in this position. My past working experiences in the government and service industries have also taught me how to deal effectively and pleasantly with people from all walks of life. As an assistant tax officer in Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore, I had the opportunity to learn to make fast and sound decisions and interact with the taxpayers, as well as the managerial staff.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my education and experience will be helpful to your organization. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
May Tun
