12. Opening Takeaways
Express a genuine interest or passion for the position
Clearly expresses the skills/experiences matching the job
description
Utilizes unique primary and secondary research in the
company (Make sure research shown is tied to your
interest)
Name drop (where applicable)
14. Who knows what this is?
Growing up in Calgary, I remember seeing donkey pumps across the
province’s gorgeous foothills and became immediately fascinated by Oil &
Gas. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned more about the industry through family
members and personal research and felt a desire to be part of the
exploration, development, and improvement of the Alberta oil sands. This
desire ultimately attracted me to Suncor, which is dedicated to being a leader
on climate change, and reducing its environmental impact. Speaking with
Kyle Anderson about Suncor’s Co-op mentorship program has solidified
my belief that Suncor is the greatest company to expand upon my knowledge
of Alberta oil operations, as I believe mentorship is key to building a
strong team culture. My experience as an insurance underwriter has made
me most interested in the areas of performance analysis and credit risk.
15. How to make it better?
The most important lesson I’ve learned from years of marathon
training is that results are directly linked to effort put in. This is
an attitude that has led me to Boston-qualifying marathon times,
achievement on the UBC rowing crew, winning finishes at triathlons,
and placement on the Dean’s Honour Roll. Accounting works much
the same; the only path to excellence is through hard work and
persistence. This attitude of persistence and teamwork has carried
me through my previous challenging work experiences and is one
that I have found aligns with PwC’s core values of excellence,
teamwork, and leadership. Some of my applicable skills gained from
those previous positions include:
You need a HOOK!
16. Another Example:
How fast can you change four tires? One hour? Ten minutes? A few
years ago I witnessed a Formula One team do it in 2.7 seconds.
They said a perfect run would be just one second. In everything that I
do I strive to reach that one second – that perfect test score, that
perfect presentation, that perfect career. After speaking with Jake
Woodson, a recent hire, Dion Chen, and other industry professionals,
I know that my personality and passion lies in sales and trading.
Through my unique athletic background and passion, I will provide
competitiveness and drive that will set a benchmark for future interns. I
cannot wait to sit on a trading floor, execute trades, and engage in
research while receiving mentorship from the most world-renowned
investment bank. A career with Goldman Sachs is my one second
and this is how I will help Goldman reach its own one second ideal:
