"While furthering my education, obtaining a Master's degree in data analytics, I've spent the past three years working in E-commerce sales. I wanted to further my education and career experience before I pursued this opportunity. I've been interested in pursuing a career with Square for quite some time, and (XYZ) position is my dream job. I'm drawn to Square's company culture of transparency, mindfulness, and collaboration. All these traits are central to my style of work. I feel I have a lot to contribute to your forward-thinking company culture and mission to economically empower small businesses all over the world. I am self-managed and self-guided in my work and considering my experience in data analytics and eCommerce. I'd hit the ground running and contribute immediately after onboarding."

"There are several companies with similar offerings, but I feel Square has the strongest offerings, the widest range of forward-thinking products, and the most integrity of their competitors. Considering Jack Dorsey's altruistic pursuits and how this company has put action behind their words, I would consider myself proud to work here, as opposed to a company such as PayPal, which seems to care only about profits, as evidenced by their actions. Square really does empower small businesses and entrepreneurs."
