Question:

Hello !

I have a question- Case: Applying for a job as an Analyst- The interviewer asked me to write a letter (one page) and answer to the question:

- Interest level of opportunities

- Why do you want to work in Finance

- What are you goals and objectives

I think he asked me more for a motivation letter

I want to be a financial planning and analysis and progressing in my job.

I have attached a resume- the question is based on this resume.

Thank you !
