I am interested in the entry-level accounting position you advertised in yesterday’s edition of the Wisconsin Herald. I have enclosed my resume highlighting my background and feet my accomplishments will be valuable to Lakeway Accounting.
As a part-time employee at West Accounting Services and with my school club activities, I have first-hand experience with accounting practices. My course of study at Wisconsin University has focused heavily on accounting. As shown in the following table, I have obtained exceptional grades in my courses:
GPA for major courses 3.9/4.0
GPA for non-major courses 3.7/4.0
Total Accumulated GPA 3.8/4.0
With my extensive course work and experience, I feel I can be an asset to your organization. I look forward to hearing from you to schedule an interview and to discuss my career opportunities with Lakeway Accounting.
