Mr. Andrew Hur


Putnam, Hayes, & Bartlett, Inc.
10940 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1500
Los Angeles, CA 90025

Dear Mr. Hur:

I am writing in regard to the Research Assistant Position. I am interested and excited about the position at Putnam,
Hayes, & Bartlett, Inc. because it offers an ideal opportunity to expand my knowledge of the consulting
profession.

As an Economics major at Pomona College, I have taken a variety of courses preparing me for a career in
economic and management consulting. In Public Finance and Labor Economics, I studied cost-benefit analysis and
labor structures. Currently, in Industrial Organization, I am learning the intricacies of corporate institutions. I have
also taken several communications and persuasion courses which will help me to work effectively on project
teams and with clients. I enjoy using computers and have extensive experience with application software. As can
be seen through my academic record, I love to be challenged, to work hard, and to excel. I have supplemented my
education with an assortment of internships and summer employment. Through these experiences, I have been able
to express my creativity and enhance my analytical abilities. In both academics and employment, I am self-
motivated and dedicated. I work not only until the job is done, but also until it is done well.

I am very interested in working as a Research Assistant, for I feel that my abilities and interests will help me to
succeed at Putnam, Hayes, & Bartlett, Inc. I will be in town the week of March 19th and would like to meet with
you to attain more information about your organization and to further discuss my qualifications for the position. I
will be calling you in two weeks to schedule an interview. However, if you need any more information from me,
or if you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (213) 345-3456.

Sincerely,

Jim Smith
