Finance Industry

If you are looking for work in the finance industry then you the main thing that everyone has in common is to want to work with numbers and figures and enjoy mathematical problems and finding solutions. There are however many roles within the finance industry such as:

Accounts Assistant

Account Clerk/ Accounts Payable

Sales and Purchase Ledger

Finance Manager or Director

Employers will be looking for candidates ideally with some finance background for some of the more junior roles but if not then a strong administration and/or customer service background will be acceptable as in all roles you will need to be very organised and pay great attention to detail.  You will need to be very accurate in your work and be able to concentrate with numbers for long periods of time as well as be able to communicate with others and explain financial information in a non technical manner so they can understand.

Most people new to the finance industry will begin as an Accounts Assistant providing support to an accounts department and be more of a generalist role helping people with queries, giving out pay slips, organising time sheets and invoices to be sent and paid etc.

It will largely depend on the company as to the route for an application. Some employers like online applications through their websites or just want you to email or post your CV with a covering letter or more public companies have strict procedures to follow which will consist of an application form and detailed notes when answering it.

It is always important to ensure that you tell your future employer as much information as you can within your application form, however insignificant you think it might be, if it connected to the job role or the company industry then ensure you put this in detail when completing your application form so they can make a decision based on all your information.

Dear Personnel Manager,

Please find enclosed my application form and CV for the post of Graduate Trainee as advertised in the (where you found vacancy) database.

In July 2013, I completed my final year at the (University) where I studied Accountancy and Mathematics. I have always had an interest in finance, and my degree helped to further this interest. The modules I took involved many aspects of the financial industry.

As part of my final year of my degree course, I completed a dissertation which involved analysing data on over 150 car dealers. In order for me to interpret the results based on this data, I taught myself how to use the SPSS statistical package. This has given me the confidence that I can rapidly learn new skills when required to do so. Overall, I have achieved 72% for this piece of work. Furthermore, the write-up required me to be competent in my use of computers, particularly in the use of MS Windows packages, including Excel and Word. I had to give a presentation of my results to students and staff for which I had to develop a PowerPoint presentation and learned to speak with confidence in front of an audience.

In addition, I also have good office and IT skills from my work experience with Lloyds TSB, and have developed strong customer service skills, the understanding of the importance of teamwork and communication skills.

I am able to evidence my qualifications and a full reference from my University. Please note that I am available for interview at any time, and look forward to hearing from you shortly

Writing a cover letter for the job role in the retail industry.

There are always excellent opportunities within the retail sector as there are very few entry-level requirements, and the possibility of promotion is excellent once you have proved you are a reliable and capable employee.  Roles include customer service assistants, supervisors, retail managers, shelf-stockers, and many supermarkets are branching out into different sectors and may require specialist skills such as butchers, bakers or bureau de change assistants.

Customer Service Assistant is probably the most common role within the retail industry.  No qualifications are required for this post although you will need to demonstrate your ability to provide friendly, efficient customer service and work within a team.

Most large retailers will advertise their vacancies online, and require you to complete an online application form.  The advantage of this is that you can usually subscribe to their job website and receive updates on relevant new vacancies.  Smaller or independent retailers are more likely to advertise their vacancies in local newspapers or in their shop window, and request CV applications via post or email.  In either case if you pass the initial selection process you will usually be offered a one-to-one interview, and be advised of the outcome shortly afterwards.

Retail Cover Letter Example

Dear Sir/Madam

Please find enclosed my CV in application for the post advertised on Creative Opportunities for the Customer Service assistant role.

Following my previous work experience and being a recent graduate of film making: design and production, I feel very prepared for this position. Using the skills I gained from the degree such as producing directing and editing my own short films and the qualities I gained from previous jobs, for example working in a fast paced environment under pressure, remaining calm under a deadline, dealing with angry clients and working hard to keep them happy. I feel blending all these together will equip me for this job as customer service assistant. Since graduating I’ve produced and directed my own fashion film and found a real passion for working with clothes, therefore using my previous retail experience and my interests, I feel would lend well to this role.

I can work under pressure, keeping a can- do positive attitude, and with the nature of my degree I will be able to deal with customers efficiently. For my course, an understanding of working to a deadline was essential. I found this subject very stimulating.

I should be very grateful for the opportunity to progress with your team. I have not only the ability to take on the responsibility of this position immediately, but also the enthusiasm and determination to ensure that I make a success of it. Thank you for taking the time to consider this application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely
