this is a rough draft of a cover letter i did for a secretary type position at a financial firm. I really have no idea what i’m doing. its been so long since i applied for a job! I would love suggestions. thanks!

Dear Mr. ****,

I am writing in response to the clerical position posted in the Bay City Times on August 6th. Currently, I have worked as a professional nanny for over four years with the same family.

Although I have enjoyed this type of work, I am looking to broaden my horizons.
As you can see from my resume I have a very steady job record, and to my beliefs, have the right skills to fill the position in which I am seeking. I have a very positive work ethic, great communication and people skills, and am proficient in typing and all of the major computer programs such as: Microsoft word, data base, outlook, and speadsheets.

Currently I am enrolled part time at Delta College majoring in Small Business Management and working on my real estate exam.
I would be very enthused to be invited for an interview with you or one of your associates. I can be reached by phone (*********, or by email

Can an employer deny employment based on a relative being employed there? Is this discrimination?

My Parents (both) are in management positions in a small business, and have been there for 20 years. Is it legal for them to deny employment because I am their daughter? I feel like it is discrimination.

I have had a difficult time trying to break into the Finance arena. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Finance from Binghamton University (Top NY State School). I graduated in December 2004 (3.0 GPA).
I have managed my personal and my family’s portfolios since I was 14. I have invested in Stocks/Stock Options/Mutual Funds, etc. I love researching and watching the stock market moved, and have learned a great deal about the market and the economy.

Also since I was 16, I have owned and operated my own small computer repair business. I have taught people how to use software, as well as build cutomized computers and fix any hardware or software problem. Through my own business I have learned communication skills (written and oral), and also how to interact with customers and people. i am very responsible, detail oriented, analytical, and I know how to manage my time.

I will add in the next writing. I am out of room.
