I am writing to apply for the position of [MENTION THE POSITION] that you advertised on the FMA’s website. Born in a small town in the North of Iran and raised in a middle-class family, I am a Ph.D. candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center and Baruch College of New York where I am also hired as an adjunct faculty. Since 2014 I have been working as a research fellow at the Center on Sanctions and Illicit Finance of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, an influential think tank in Washington DC where I advise policy makers on a range of issues related to illicit finance, economic sanctions and economy and geopolitics of the Persian Gulf region. I am currently revising the final chapter of my dissertation and expect to graduate by the end …show more content…
I am interested in the practical results of research as much as its theoretical values. I am fascinated by the intersection of finance and foreign and public policy. Over the last three years, I had the chance to contribute to the policies made and implemented by the US government in the areas of economic sanctions and the fight against terrorism financing and international illicit finance. I also would like to be involved in the public policy discussions and decision makings related to the domestic finance topics. I am applying for this position because the research capacity of [NAME OF THE SCHOOL] in my fields of interest provides me the chance of collaborating with top researchers in these fields. I hope that while I benefit from the faculty members’ knowledge and experience, they will also benefit from my hard work and previous experience in transforming academic research to actionable policy ideas and recommendations and successfully communicating those recommendations to the media and policy makers. The [SCHOOL’S] proximity to the financial markets in New York and policy making centers in Washington DC make it an ideal place for the kind of research I am interested in.
I love teaching. At Baruch, I taught as much as I could, even when I was not required to teach as part of my fellowship package. Since 2013, the year I started teaching, I have
At the University of Florida (UF) I am studying Political Science and Finance because I have an immense passion for understanding politics, law, and the money system. My passion for public policy and economics has motivated me to pursue a rigorous course of study, one that will enable me to obtain a dual major in these academic disciplines, both of which are central to modern adult life. The financial and political worlds are intimately intertwined, intersecting along many nodes throughout one’s lifetime that not only affect me currently as a student, but also influence my decisions concerning postgraduate academic pursuits and professional options as I enter the workforce. A disciplined approach I have to my studies will lead me to have
Teaching was very natural for me. I felt comfortable and confident working in all my classrooms. I was fortunate to have the support from all supervising teachers and they provided me guidance and knowledge as I continued to grow in the classroom. I couldn’t wait to go to college so I could focus on teaching every day and officially start my journey as a future
As we discussed, my qualifications seem well matched for the positions. My previous internship and jobs allowed me to gain substantial experience in Business, Media Management field and become familiar with a circumstance of international relations work, the same circumstance
Trained as an educator with a Master’s Degree from Xavier University, I taught in the public school system for 13 years. Currently, I work as the Director of Children’s Ministries at an 1100-member church. Although I have thoroughly loved and learned much through my current position, I miss the daily connections with students and academics.
People think teaching has been a calling all my life. The truth is I never considered teaching as a career choice while growing up. Coming from a strict Asian background, my parents have always pushed for careers in the medical or business field. Being young and uninformed, I pursued the business route without putting too much thought into my decision. I spent my four years of undergrad crunching numbers, analyzing data, and finding ways to maximize profit on a spreadsheet. That was fun and nonetheless challenging, but it did not provide a sense of service that I longed for and did not even know it existed until I lacked it in my daily internship at an accounting company. That was when I felt an itch to do “something” that makes a clear, tangible difference in the lives of others. At the time I had no idea what that “something” was or could possibly be. I sought out different career options, from nursing to ultrasound to sociology.
I am applying for a summer internship with the Rockefeller Foundation as part of the U.S. Youth Employment team. My interest in working for the Rockefeller Foundation stems from my passion for philanthropy and service. Since high school, I have always made an effort to do things that would help make my community better. As an intern on the U.S. Youth Employment team, I will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge I acquired inside the classroom to help implement positive economic and social change.
Knowledge is a very powerful thing, and to be able to deliver this to today’s youth has been a dream of mine for a long time. There are many advantages to teaching. I feel that is a very fulfilling profession. I have seen my sister in the classroom, and it greatly inspired me to want to make a difference in some ones life. Through watching my sister in action I was inspired to follow in her footsteps.
I would develop practical skills, such as digital and data processing, but most importantly, I would have the opportunity to work with, and under, the motivated, intelligent, hard-working group of individuals that compose the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Best of all, I would have the opportunity to work as an intern studying the region that has dictated a large part of my undergraduate experience. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and review my application. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you or to come in for an interview if you have any doubts about my candidacy. I am eager to discuss how I can use my skills to help benefit the Center. Thank you for your

I enjoyed teaching, being in front of an audience and sharing what I thought was worthwhile.
As the text book suggests, a mission statement is a concise statement for a company’s being, what it actually does, and for whom. In this paper I will analyze two company’s mission statements. The companies are Home Depot and Nike. Both companies are well known and can be considered to be a success. They have established themselves in their perspective markets to be one of the best. Let’s take a closer look at each and see if they meet the criteria that the text says organizations should consider when creating a mission statement.
Now, at the beginning of my third year in college, my feelings for teaching are still the same, maybe a little stronger than at the beginning. Now that I have had experience in my field placement with second graders and preschoolers, my passion for teaching has grown stronger. My feelings grew stronger because I now have the experience with students in an actual school, and I love the feeling when I teach and help the
organization, this statement of commitment begins with the CEO. For an individual business unit, individual managers can begin the change in culture by stating in clear and unambiguous terms that innovation is valued. The effective manager must commit resources to supporting innovation and the implementation of a changed perception of the value of innovation to the organization. Innovation, or change, for its own sake is not sufficient. The intent of the innovation effort must be made clear. It is not enough to say, “To be the premier research facility...” One must create an easily articulated message that embodies the strategic direction that the principal innovation is sought in. An example might be “Leading the way towards cybersecurity for the Nation”. The statement combines a statement of purpose with an aspiration. Slogans, posters, etc. have limited value in R&D organizations especially since that approach tends to imply that it is the employee that is at fault.
I have always admired the act of teaching. Even when I was in kindergarten the teacher would send letters home to my parents explaining that I would constantly attempt to take over the classroom. As I got older my habits only grew worse but always in a good way. In high school I would jump out of my seat every time a classmate would ask for help. It is an indescribable feeling to be able to use all of the information and knowledge I have gained through all of my hard work and to use it towards helping another person gain that knowledge and to watch them become more intelligent and more confident knowing that I was the one who guided them.
