To Whom It May Concern:

 

            Random Walk is at a unique place in the financial consulting industry. Your commitment to adopting the forefront of technology to financial service organizations differentiates your firm as a leader in the industry. Sung Chun, a friend and a consultant at the San Francisco office, continues to suggest that I apply to your firm, citing the down-to-earth and supportive culture to be the differentiating factor. These factors have attracted my strong interest in Random Walk.

 

            I believe I can contribute significantly as a consultant by leveraging my coursework, work experience, and extracurricular activities. Through my Electrical Engineering and Computer Science courses, I gained a strong ability to perform quantitative analysis on complex numerical data. My Finance and Economics courses have drawn a very strong interest in and an eagerness to learn about the financial community. Researching at Berkeley, I learned to solve problems methodically as I conducted extensive research regarding the subject, evaluated the benefits and drawbacks in efficiency of different approaches, and produced an automated procedure to assemble the robotic wing. While working for Acegain, I further enhanced these skills of research, analysis, and implementation outside of the laboratory in a professional environment.

 

            Furthermore, I believe my creativity and capacity to lead will enable me to add new perspectives at Random Walk. In seeking to diversify myself beyond my academic work, I steered the direction of my fraternity by heading its recruitment program. Moreover, I learned solid communication and teamwork skills through delegating responsibilities to each member and working with them on those tasks at a variety of venues. At Acegain and at the lab Berkeley, my ability to develop innovative ideas was evident in producing creative solutions to the problems at hand and executing them.

 

            Random Walk has strongly drawn my interest because of its business outlook, and I would truly welcome a chance to further talk with you about why I believe I am an ideal candidate. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (510) 604-3084. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

 

Sincerely,

Frederick Wang
