Tell  Your  Story  Example  

From  the  beginning  I  have  loved  numbers  and  I  understand  that  people  may  think  that  is  cliché  for  an  Economics  major,  but  that  is  why  I  am  an  Economics  major.  And  it’s  not  just  numbers,  it  is  the  stories  that  these  numbers  tell  and  how  they  can  impact  the  way  an  organiza8on  makes  decisions.    They  tell  stories  about  our  personal  lives  too  and  impact  the  way  we  make  personal  decisions  every  day.  When  I  first  came  to  Duke,  I  wasn’t  sure  how  I  wanted  to  incorporate  this  interest  into  what  I  would  like  to  pursue  long  term,  but  a  class  project  in  my  second  Economics  class  let  me  know  I  was  on  the  right  track.      I  furthered  this  interest  by  comple8ng  internships  with  the  Department  of  Commerce  and  also  with  Bloomberg.    I  wanted  to  have  internships  that  I  could  compare  and  contrast  so  I  would  know  whether  I  wanted  to  pursue  a  government  job  or  the  private  sector.    With  the  DOC,  I  assisted  a  professional  staff  member  within  the  Bureau  of  Economic  analysis  in  gathering  primary  and  secondary  research  which  was  then  used  in  a  preliminary  interpre8ve  report  for  making  decisions  regarding  monetary  policy.    With  Bloomberg  I  sourced  and  qualified  data  which  I  then  used  in  upda8ng  the  Bloomberg  Database.  Like  the  DOC,  this  data  was  used  to  make  decisions.      I  have  really  enjoyed  these  opportuni8es  to  gather  data,  and  am  now  wan8ng  to  use  these  skills  to  not  only  gather  data,  but  directly  impact  decision-­‐making.    I  hope  it  is  with  your  company  that  I  will  be  able  to  do  this.  

Example    

I  am  a  senior  here  at  Duke  majoring  in  Economics  and  also  pursuing  the  Markets  &  Management  Cer8ficate.    I’ve  held  two  internships  during  my  8me  at  Duke,  one  with  Bloomberg  and  another  with  the  US  Department  of  Commerce.    I  think  these  have  provided  me  with  a  great  set  of  skills  to  implement  at  your  company.
