Vasil Vasilev

Dear HR Team, 

I am a Bulgarian student in my final year majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Yale-NUS College on a full merit-based scholarship.

There are three main qualities I possess that make me a good fit and will allow me to excel in this position:

 Demonstrated leader and team player: 

As the Head of Logistics for Yale-NUS Investment Society, I was a core part of the organizing committee for Asia's biggest undergraduate Asset Management conference of over 300 delegates. I managed a team of 15 students to reach out to and secure JP Morgan Chase, Bank of Singapore, and other financial institutions and keynote speakers. By doing so, I expanded my connections and developed my networking skills.

 A relationship builder with outstanding interpersonal skills: 

As a consultant at Yale-NUS Consulting Group, I worked closely with 3M’s general manager in Singapore on a market entry and branding case over the span of 6 months. I collaborated with my team to conduct extensive research, benchmark, and develop a useful strategy based on a pattern we found. During the final presentation, my team and I pitched our solutions and findings in front of the GM of 3M and received positive feedback. 

 A curious self-starter: 

As a Capital Markets intern at Cushman&Wakefield Forton, I showed initiative by constantly asking my mentor for feedback and requesting additional work I could take home. As a result, I was given the opportunity to pitch assets to high-net-worth individuals largely unsupervised. 

I am committed to making an impact on the industry long-term and contributing to the firm’s mission by fostering top-line growth. Please consider conducting an interview with me to gauge my fit for the role. Thank you in advance for your consideration, and I look forward to our conversation. 

Sincerely,

Vasil Vasilev 

Yale-NUS Global Leader Scholar, Class of 2023
