Job Application - Part I

Here is an excerpt from a letter recently received by the Investment Banking department of a major bracket securities firm. The writer is applying for the position of Corporate Finance Analyst and has an unusual way of asserting his capabilities. Following the letter is the firm's response.

Candidates Letter:

Dear Recruiting Director,

Fourth and goal from the four. Down by six with time running out. Coach calls for the slant. Pressure rivaled only by the closing minutes in the commodities pits. I want the ball and I want a shot at the corporate finance analyst position.

I will be graduating from Texas A&M this coming May. This past summer I had the opportunity to go to New York and meet with professionals at several of Wall Street's leading investment banks. Since I thrive on competition, it did not take me long to decide that investment banking is where I want to start my career.

I realize that the competition is stiff and the job can be difficult. I am excited about the opportunity to work as an analyst and bring some Texas flavor to your firm. Success breeds success, and I have come to expect nothing short of success from myself. In short, I will catch the slant pass for the win, but I will also make the block that allows the quarterback to throw the pass.

My resume is enclosed. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
