Hey guys, any help would be appreciated! I applied to a lot online postings last semester (30+) but nothing ever came from any of them. I just began the cold email process this week and, as such, I've been handing off my resume and cover letter to those willing to take them.
Just wanna make sure I'm doing a decent job with these before I get too deep.
Cover Letter:
Dear Recruiting Representative,
I would like to be considered for a full time position at your company.
I feel confident that I can prove myself as a valuable and reliable asset to any team. I have a thorough appreciation for situations that allow me to think critically and problem solve. My communication and interpersonal skills make me an easy person to work with and an effective team member. Additionally, the necessity of working frequently with non-actuarial minds, to help solve their problems, is something that I really value. Through my willingness and aptitude to learn, I am sure, that by working with your company, I will prove myself as a vital team member.
Best,
Michael Hogan
