Dear Mr. / Ms.,

I’m writing to you to apply for theposition of Business Analyst based in Shanghai.

My name is Xueying WANG, second year master student in Tsinghua University majored in Chemical Engineering. I’m strongly interested in the consulting although I have an engineering background--for me they don’t conflict with each other; what’s more, the engineering background gives me a logical thinking, solid analytic skills as well as a good numerical sense. Mckinsey is the world-leading consultancy company with a long history and a prosperous development in China, it is the very one company in which I’m passionate.

I bear a strong curiosity for new things, I’m ready for challenges, I have a logical critical thinking(GMAT 720 without special revision) and language abilities (fluent in English and in French). I’m prepared to solve complicated business problems. 6 months’ experience of PTA in BCG gave me a better understanding of finance and industries; Hejun business school gave me a deep perspective of the Chinese market with many real merger & acquisition cases. I also noticed the different ways in which Chinese local consultancy companies and foreign companies such as BCG work—they each have their own advantages, to be more adapted in the Chinese market, I think foreign companies may lower their profile to have a look at how local companies manage to success. It’s always useful to know more about competitors.

I have done 2 internships in the consulting. The most recent one is in a French Consultancy company called Daxue Consulting who helps the foreign companies to study the Chinese market for their entry. As it was a small enterprise, I did quite a lot of analytic work (desk research,quantitative/qualitative interviews).Before that I worked for BCG as PTA during half a year where I did lots of basic tasks and trained my commercial sense.

I'm a strong-determined person.When I have a goal I make all my efforts to reach it. I learn things very fast.When I first arrived in France I didn't speak a word in French. At first I was so upset because I had always been excellent but at that moment I understood nothing at all in class and with my friends. However I adapted myself very quickly to the new situation and told myself it didn't matter to begin from zero. Miraculously in 3 months I acquired the basic communication skills as well as the ability to get through academic issues. These two years' experience also shaped my multi-cultural communication skills.

I'm a multitask person. This year besides my scientific research,I successfully run the sino-french association in Tsinghua(400+ members), I did my internship in BCG, I took the GMAT exam, I built up my music band, I joint Hejun Business school, through my great efforts I arranged a meeting between Tsinghua international office and a French institute where we signed a double-degree program…I can do all these things because I take initiatives when I work , I’m efficient, I know how to manage my time to optimize my schedule in order to do many things at one time and do them well. I’m a good team leader and a good listener. I’m persuasive and I have a great affinity.

I think I’m fully qualified for such a position. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration!

Yours sincerely

Xueying WANG
