RE: Risk Management Position

Dear Ms. Stanner,

As a recent MBA graduate of the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University, I am extremely interested in the

Business Analyst position offered by your company.

During my MBA studies, I gained knowledge in the areas of strategy, accounting, finance and marketing. My career

experience includes three years as a Business Analyst in the risk management department of Shire Group, a growing

global specialty pharmaceutical company. Shire has a broad portfolio of products and its own marketing capability in the

US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. At Shire, I researched corporate and industry issues and

modelled risks for the company’s product valuation, portfolio optimization, licensing negotiations, and production

forecasting activities.

My experience also includes three years with Mustang Survival Corp., a local manufacturer of safety clothing and

equipment, inflatable lifejackets, and flotation wear. As Project Manager at Mustang, I liaised between marketing and

manufacturing operations to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of product lines. I was responsible for five major

customers in Western Canada, and met with customers to demonstrate new products, troubleshoot delivery and

performance issues, and understand our clients’ businesses.

I have worked in the manufacturing industry and in finance; areas where I believe I could make an immediate

contribution to Mercer include:



Risk Management – growth in the pulp and paper industry is heavily dependent on population growth, but also

on environmental issues and rising standards of living in emerging economies. At Shire and at Mustang, I was

responsible for researching strategic industry issues.



Manufacturing Industry – At Mustang, I liaised with the manufacturing operations and am familiar with lean

manufacturing concepts and production line issues.



Rosenthal and Stendal pulp facilities – I have a working knowledge of spoken and written German.

My work experience, as well as my academic career, demonstrates many of the abilities listed in your career

advertisement: including business modelling, business plan preparation, and industry research. At your convenience, I

would be happy to meet with you to further discuss my qualifications. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Janice Wallace
