S P R I N G 2 0 2 1 / W O R K F O R M E 19 Banking and other business services have dramatically changed in recent years. Even entry-level jobs require a level of tech training, in addition to people or "soft skills" needed on the front lines of customer service. The makeup of the workforce is also changing, with more New Mainers being trained for jobs.

Be sincere and enthusiastic. Something like this: If I were part of your team at [company name], I would bring my own unique brand of energy and enthusiasm to ev- ery aspect of the position. It would give me great satisfaction so be part of a team that works together to create [fill in what you would be creating]. Seeing the process through from concept to delivery would be so fulfilling. Closing paragraph In this paragraph you want to offer yourself up for any further interviews, testing or other aspects of this hiring process. Here's an example: I understand that you have many ap- plicants for this position however I want to assure you that I am extremely in- terested and if I were offered the job, I would be able to start immediately. I am available for any further interviews, employment testing, or recommended training. Thank you for your time and I am eager to learn more about the posi- tion and your company. Letter ending and signature End your letter by saying "Sincerely," with a comma and type your name three inches below those two words. Then hand sign your name in the middle. The examples I have provided would reflect my own personality but make sure your writing reflects your personality. If you can provide an example of something you have done either in school or on the job in that opening paragraph, then you should do that. You may not have had a lot of experience so you need to show you've done something in one of your summer jobs or in the classroom that shows what you could do in this position. After you have had an interview, send a hand-written thank you note to the person who interviewed you and mention something specific that you discussed in the interview. This will help you seal the deal. Good luck to you finding your dream job! n F I N A N C I A L S E R V I C E S H o w t o
