I first became interested in auditing while I was studying on Faculty of Economy. I firmly believe that this is a career which will enable me to use not only my interest in business and finance, but also my skills in working with people, both in an advisory and a managerial capacity. [comment]
Optional, but useful. Say when and why you become interested in this kind of work.
I am particularly interested in a career with Johnson& Barnes because of the high reputation of your training scheme and your commitment to giving new recruits early responsibilities. [comment]
Say why you would like to work for the company, show that you are familiar with what it does, what benefits it gives to its employees.
During my time as a student I had a variety of part-time and vacation jobs, all of which required me to work as part of a team and to deal directly with the public. I found my work at the Tourist Information Office particularly valuable in teaching me the importance of understanding customers' needs and providing clear and accurate information in response to those needs.
