I am recent grad and I am applying to the top 10 accounting firms. Some of them request a cover letter. Would anyone be willing to assist me with writing one to get my noticed and hopefully an offer for this fall or upcoming spring. I know I am late. My school wasn’t a target school. So I am behind the curve.

Here is a draft of my cover letter.
{Date}
{Name of Company}

My name is {Name}.I am a recent graduate from {Name of School}with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, and a minor in finance. The educational requirement of 150 credit hours has been met as I am scheduled to take FAR September 2020. Aside from my college career, I have over 7 years of professional experience in the banking/finance industry and two years of preparing tax returns as a volunteer via Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA). I’ve held several roles including, teller, senior teller, teller supervisor, branch operations supervisor, financial services officer and my current role of an auditor. I have gained experience in sales, management, retail banking auditing and tax. I am seeking a tax staff accountant position within your company where I can hone in my professional skills such as integrity, extensive research, detailed oriented, time management, efficiency and being a team player.

To level set expectations, I would think the B4 at least have already made offers to their Fall and Spring starting classes. At PwC, Fall new hires are starting next month. Don’t be deterred but understand a lot of offers are already out. I would suggest working through NABA also as I know the national student conference is coming up Sep 24-26 and there will be opportunities there that might be more impactful than blind applications.

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work.

Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment
