Why are you the right candidate for this position?
"I'm a positive person. I pride myself on my attitude and outlook on life. I've achieved this confidence in myself by being honest with myself at all times. If you want to be an honest person, you have to start by being honest with yourself. I don't know many people who can do that. I'm always on the lookout for the truth when it comes to everything, and as a result, that mindset has gifted me with a high level of attention to detail that I apply to everything. That goes hand in hand with my strong work ethic. Integrity is my number one core value. I'm a self-starter and a team player around the clock."

First off, when I look at the key skills, and interests, I can safely cross each and every one off the list. When I look at the job description itself, though, I became instantly captivated. I yearn to work on high-responsibility teams that thrive on data and strategy; these qualities are what I have learned in many walks of life and now call my own. Even the JPMorgan mission of putting customer's first is in my DNA as I have worked in the restaurant industry my entire life; "The customer is always right."
