I am actively looking for a job and I would be grateful if you can consider my resume for a position within your respected company. I have completed my Bsc (Honours) in Mathematics and Financeat City University London, United Kingdom and I have been awarded a class II upper division.
I enjoyed the course which I have doneas it comprises of the different subjects for which I havean affinity. My modules haveenabled me to improve my analytical and quantitative skills. I have donea few modules that focused on decision making namely operational research and decision analysis which helped in developing my abilities in interpreting the real-life, ill-defined problems and formulate them as linear or dynamics or network problems. My course focuses on financeas well. I havea deep knowledge of the quantitativeaspects of options, futures, and other derivatives. I also havea good understanding of the mechanism of interest rates, bond pricing, forward and futures markets, interest rate futures, forward rateagreements and interest rate swaps, option markets, trading strategies involving options. Although the majority of my course is of financial and mathematical nature, I havea theoretical understanding of theaccounting principles which I haveacquired from my module Financeand Financial reporting which is also a core technical module from the Institute of Actuaries UK. From this module I have learnt the principle features and the basic construction of different types of accounts and financial statements of a company along with theability to interpret them. In addition I am looking forward to acquire professional qualifications such as ACCA/ACA or CFA.
Furthermore I haveacquired several transferable skills through my working experience. Before starting my tertiary studies I worked as a non-motor claims handler in an insurance company for six months. Through my experience there I have further developed my ability to pay attention to every details as thereare customers who report claims that might not be covered by the insurance policy. Having face to face interactions with customers, my communication skills have greatly improved and I have gained confidence to tackle difficult situations. I also developed theability in explaining the technical aspect of the insurance policy in layman terms. My sense of responsibility increased to a great level as I was also responsible to make payments to customers on the system. Moreover I realised the importance of team work because we wereall assigned a responsibility for a particular claim thus we relied on our colleagues towards final settlement of claims. My second work experience was at Kingston University as a clearing hotliner where I developed extensively my communication skills especially over the phone. Fast learning is one of my main qualities which was demonstrated in my ability to fully use the recruitment system of theuniversity within three days, therefore I am confident I can easily learn and useany new system in a short amount of time.
I believe that my degreeand my work experiences have trained me for both the intellectual and professional aspects of this career and I am eager to acquire new skills. Please find attached a copy of my CV for your kind consideration. I would beavailable to join the roleat short notice. I look forward to hearing from you.
