Royal Bank of Scotland Group Cover Letter

Working for the Royal Bank of Scotland Group would be an outstanding

opportunity, providing me with a valuable learning experience, but also giving
me the best possible start for my future. Not only is it a powerhouse in the
financial services industry, but is a highly prestigious company with a rich history
spanning back over a two hundred and fifty years. The financial markets have
always appealed to me as a career, and one can look no further than RBS. With
the Royal Bank of Scotland Group I know I will achieve a valuable hands on
learning experience, benefitting from the teaching from some of the best in the
industry. I would relish becoming part of a team at RBS, an entity that not only
provides the highest quality of service to their customers, but to their employees
also. Choosing Markets was a simple choice. The constant evolution in the
financial markets means that no two days are the same, keeping me constantly
interested and motivated to better myself in order to keep up with the rapidly
changing economic environment. I am suited to this particular division as I have
the drive and persistence to meet my goals. I am also continually optimistic in
the face of change, a trait needed in this career. I am highly numerical and able
to analyse, distil, and solve practical problems, using the information to make
the correct judgements in complex situations. I am suited to this career path as I
am a strong communicator. Expressive, clear, concise, and able to quickly form
relationships in a range of situations. I have also learned to manage my time
efficiently, so no detail or duty is overlooked. I prioritise my tasks effectively, so
each one can be done to the highest standard. During my work experience with
Attwater & Liell, I was able to witness firsthand what is needed in a highly
professional environment, which benefitted me greatly with my personal
development. Throughout this internship I was able to develop my time
management skills. I learnt to manage my time efficiently, discovering how to
prioritise my various commitments so each could be done to the very highest
degree.
