Cover Letter

Research Associate Recruiting
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
Economic Research
101 Market Street, MS 1130
San Francisco, CA 94105



Dear Hiring Manager,

I would like to express my interest in the position of Research Associate I with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. As a long time resident of California and as a student of economics and finance, I have always respected and admired the work the Fed has achieved in serving and improving the economic livelihood of not only the 12th District, but of the nation as well. The contributions by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to US monetary policy, education, community development and economic research have been innovative and ground-breaking, leaving a lasting impression felt throughout the financial world. During my tenure as a student of economics at the University of California in Riverside, I spoke with Professors and advisors who taught me to realize and respect the professionalism and satisfaction that embody working for a government agency such as a Federal Reserve Bank. I am confident that the Federal Reserve Bank’s values and core objectives would complement my own strengths and enthusiasms towards economic policy.

I would like to be considered for the position of Research Associate I or any other open positions for that matter, that require refined analytical and communication skills. I am a recent college graduate looking to relocate to the San Francisco/Silicon Valley area. The Fed’s proven track record of excellence and integrity coupled with their innovative and exciting approach to US Monetary policy has convinced me that they are the ideal employer for whom to begin my career with. My educational background in economics, with an emphasis in finance, combined with my prior work experience at Bank of America has provided a solid foundation for a career in banking and research analysis. As a student of economics myself, I appreciate and understand the role the Federal Reserve occupies in the United States economy. I possess a solid understanding of US Monetary policy and am looking for a career to apply that knowledge to. An employer such as the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco would be an ideal median to build upon and refine my skills in economics as well as provide comprehensive hands on training to highlight my potential and strengthen the contributions I would make as a Research Associate for the Bank.

Please review the enclosed resume and consider my application for the position of Research Associate I. I would also appreciate the opportunity to come to San Francisco to meet with you and experience the bank’s environment first hand as well as possible job opportunities at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. I will send another email next week to follow up and discuss these possibilities. I look forward to exchanging ideas with you concerning a career at the Federal Reserve Bank and the positive contributions I would offer as a member of you established organization. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Jeremiah C. Eusebio

Compelling and Captivating

So I got bored with typing up Cover Letters for jobs and I decided to watch some videos on youtube. The following two videos are of Lea Salonga in her two most famous Broadway roles. The first is a young Lea Salonga auditioning for the role of Kim from Miss Saigon and the second is of her as Eponine from Les Miserables. Wow, her voice is so amazing. Angelic yet strong and powerful. I actually got chills listening to these performances.

Commencement

I haven't written in a while. I kind of miss writing in here.

So today, I woke up and went to class as usual. As I stepped into the classroom, I was greeted with the chatter of 30 Filipino students and some unfamiliar Tagalog movie on the projector. I guess my teacher never showed up for class. Nonetheless we made a sign in sheet. I signed my name and after about 15 minutes of boredom, I decide that I should just leave class and get something done. So Normarie and Brian and I head out to the Grad fair taking place in the Old Gym. While I'm at school, might as well get this Graduation shit taken care of. Cap and Gown, tickets etc. We arrive at the Grad fair and are greeted to the longest line known to man. (Think Space Mountain @ Disneyland long, X 10) We have nothing else better to do so we wait it out. While in line, we just started talking to everyone around us. Finding out what their Majors are, what they're doing after college and so on. It was really intriguing to know what these other kids were going to do after they graduate. Some of them have jobs and internships lined up, others were going to go to grad school. We even found a student joining the peace corps and going to the African Congo mid July. Hearing these peoples stories made me realize how much of my life isn't really as planned out as I thought. Here I am, still searching on the threshold of the beginning of the rest of my life.

Anyways, we get through the line after about an hour. I buy my cap and gown and receive my God awful tassel which to my delight was a Salmon Pink/Peach color. Hurray for Econ majors. It looks horrendous. I also reserved my tickets for Graduation which was 11. I opted for the maximum just to be safe but I'm pretty sure I wont need nearly that many. Who in there right mind would want to go to an 8:00 AM graduation on a Sunday, which also happens to be fathers day? Honestly I wouldn't even go myself but I feel that its a one of those life moments we as kids have to give our parents. They paid for my education, the least I could do is show them that 4 years of my life didn't completely go to waste.

On a completely unrelated note, I've started running once again. These past few days have compelled me more to just get up out of the house once again and be active. Its kind of sad really, to see what my neighborhood has deteriorated to over the last 15 some years as I run along. The trash, pollution, brown lawns and graffiti. Just another day in Southridge.
