Print Cover Message: Example (2 of 5)

With a background of three years as a part-time employee of the State Comptroller of Public Accounting and the State Auditor’s office, and with four years’ specialized training in the College of Business Administration at State University, my background is consistent with your requirements. As an auditor in both the state departments mentioned above, I participated in audits of the books of several oil firms and gained some familiarity with petroleum accounting procedures, which should increase my usefulness in future work of this type.

In my intensive coursework at the University, I studied several phases of accounting (including petroleum, fiduciary, cost, and systems as well as theory and auditing) with the intention of obtaining a comprehensive and well-integrated background for competent work in the petroleum field. The attached résumé also notes the additional courses with which I rounded out my training. The sincerity of my study efforts is evidenced by the B.B.A. degree with honors I was awarded this June.
