Hi guys,
Currently writing a GS cover letter and would be very grateful if anyone would care to give it a read through and give me any feedback. Have little knowledge/experience of cover letters so this is my first attempt.
Note: The lack of formatting (i.e. address, formal setting etc) is due to the fact that GS want it to be submitted into the application form, so not a word doc.
Thanks

Main point: you have to mention the position are applying to. Good spin of History major but I would add all the analytical experience you have to make the story more interesting.
Thanks for the reply.
Just to mention summer analyst enough? No need to go into 'individual' responsibilities? For example common knowledge that interns do the bitch work... Best to leave that out?
I am also a qualified ski instructor - I was thinking of adding that in saying it showed me how to analyse individual client needs and assess when a change of plan is needed, i.e. clients aren't progressing
"XXXXX, an analyst in the Goldman Sachs XXXX office, recommended that I apply to the [job title] position. He advocated the Goldman Sachs emphasis on the individual and said my History degree would be an asset..."
I think this would be a better way to approach it. Currently your first sentence is too negative and instantly creates a bad tone.
Also if you are applying to a job in the US, which is what I assume, we spell "analyse" as "analyze".

Hi everyone,
was just wondering, does GS still strictly demand a 300-word cover letter? Or have they laxed up on the rules now
