Experience with a variety of qualitative approaches

Dear [name],

My name is [your name] and I'm a student at [university] studying [subject]. I am interested in the Qualitative Researcher position that you posted on LinkedIn.

I'm currently in my senior year at [university], where I have been studying qualitative research methods for the past three years. This has given me experience with a variety of qualitative approaches, including ethnography, grounded theory, phenomenology, and discourse analysis.

I believe that my background would be an asset to your company because it provides me with the skills necessary to perform this type of work independently while also allowing me to learn from others who may have more experience than myself.

10+ years of experience in qualitative research

Dear [name],

My name is [name], and I'm a qualitative analyst at [company name]. I've been working in the field for over 10 years, and I'm excited about your new project.

I have a lot of experience conducting qualitative research, including interviews, focus groups, and ethnographic studies. My last three projects were all focused on improving customer satisfaction with the company's product line. In each case, we found that the customers who were most satisfied with our products also had higher brand loyalty than those who weren't as satisfied—which made it easier to recommend our product to friends.

My home office setup includes a laptop with a webcam and microphone; a headset; and Skype software. I have unlimited data on my mobile phone plan so I can access the internet anywhere. My availability is flexible—I can work remotely during evenings or weekends if needed.
