Cover Letter for Accountants
In competitive field like Finance, you may need guidance at time to take correct career step. You can contact your college alumni, professor or person employed in a financial firm for guidance. Even if you are not writing this letter to the employer or recruiter, you are supposed to have professional approach, when you are drafting a thank you letter to referrer. This letter is written to thank the person for their time and the guidance they provide to you. Your cover letter should be divided into 3 sections like introduction, body and the conclusion. In the body mention that you are following the tips provided by the referrer. If they have asked you to pay proper attention to the practical experience that you are gaining during internship, then let them know that you are following their instructions.
Make sure you end the letter on a positive note. After thanking the person, you can assure that you will stay in touch and may need further guidance. By doing so, you can keep avenues open to get recommendation from the referrer for any job opening, they are aware about. As young graduates, most students are unaware about how to work in professional work environment, how to apply for a job or how to ask for recommendation or which courses to attend. You can get these doubts cleared from the referrer.
