Dear Hiring Manager,

As an Oil Market Analyst with 2 years of experience in gathering and analyzing data on global market trends and players, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently an analyst with Halliwell Energy Consulting, where as a member of the Energy Futures Division I research and analyze global oil markets to identify trends in upstream oil, oil prices, and cost outlook in the short-, medium-, and long-term. In particular, I deep dive into how market leaders are adapting to change (e.g. global consumption trends, climate change) to provide micro insights for the benefit of our clients. Once I have formulated forecasts and hypotheses, I work in tandem with cross-functional specialists to validate these and present my findings to leadership.

In addition to my research experience, I hold a Master of Energy Finance and a Bachelor of Economics. I am extremely fascinated by this sector, which was strengthened through my Master and internships at McKinsey & Company and Exxon Mobil Corp.

As Halliwell is relocating its Energy Futures Division to New York, I am now seeking another stimulating opportunity closer to home.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Jack Roberts
