As a self-motivated, ambitious individual I offer a contagious work ethic that would make me a valuable asset to your organization. I have obtained excellent analytical skills in both my academic, and professional career. Before beginning tasks, I am able to scrutinize other’s ideas as well as my own to determine the best way to solve a problem. I possess a certain level of intellectual curiosity that drives me to search for reasons and causes. My ability to think about all the factors affecting a situation sets me apart from my peers. This is what I am able to do for your organization.
An example of this is when I attended the Undergraduate Research Conference at UNH, the largest undergraduate university research conference in the country. Under the sponsorship of my Law and Economics professor, I was afforded the opportunity to do extensive research into a civil court case and analyze the efficiency of outcomes from an economics perspective. I presented to various professors, community members, and even the dean of the Whittemore School of Business and Economics. Using game theory, I showed what the possible outcomes for the case were, and what each outcome would have meant for the economy. By illustrating the inefficient outcomes, I proved the importance of economic theory in the legal decision-making process. I determined the real outcome of the case that I researched was efficient. Although the case I chose happened to be efficient, the legal process is very cumbersome. There is evidence suggesting that economists getting more involved in the legal process could produce positive results.
