"Additionally, I am also taking a course in VBA as I intend on implement ing the Black – Scholes – Merton model to gain a deeper understanding of how Options are priced with the limitation of constant volatility."
is too trivial to mention.
Should I make it more general by saying that I'm taking VBA courses to learn implementing Option Pricing strategies?
I assumed that a computer science student would know that you can still extract your name, address and all the other details that you blacked out, just by using copy/paste.
Yeah. However, I had my pdf ready so just did what was easier. That way I could keep the format of the letter. Plus I wanted to know if the addresses should be kept.
Also the comment is not helpful but point noted. Thanks :)
Where you claim 'intermediate C++'- quantify this. What have you done in the language? Any qualifications? I dislike 'Respected Sir/Madam'- use 'Dear Sir/Madam' The English used in the cover letter is sub-par and needs reviewing. 'market finance' = financial markets etc Just my $0.02
I agree - Keep it simple. I heard that statement twice today on the floor. If you think using distinct vocabulary will help you gain transaction, you're wrong. My VP would roll his eyes.
Keep it simple and straight forward.
Yeah I've made that change in the latest version of my cover letter. I'm just keeping it simple by saying I know how to implement macros in VBA. Is that okay?
So should I quantify my projects in the cover letter or in the resume.
