elevator speech

1. Guy Watkins
Hi, my name is Guy Watkins. I graduated from Mount Saint Joseph University with a
bachelor’s degree in accounting back in 2019. I am proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel,
and outlook. If there is a specific accounting system you use here, then I am more than
willing to learn how to use it. I previously worked at Macy’s in the men’s suits and shoes
department, where I learned how to perform well in fast-paced situations, while
providing great customer service. While at Mount Saint Joseph University, I was on the
tennis team, and it was there where I gained great skills that involved teamwork. I know
teamwork is an important aspect of this job, and my role on the tennis team, I feel, has
prepared me for this position. I’m applying for the financial analyst position because I
enjoy jobs that involve analytical skills, and I feel the rigorous accounting courses I took
in college have prepared me for taking on this position. Preparing journal entries, cash
budgets, analyzing cash inflows and outflows, and preparing financial statements is
what this position requires, and I feel I am prepared to take on these tasks. My values
and skills align with the values here at Western and Southern financial group.
Teamwork and passion are both part of your mission and mine. I feel you should hire
me because I will work as hard as I can in order to provide you with accurate financial
statements in order for you to make decisions.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
