I hope to schedule an interview at a mutually convenient time. I look forward to speaking with you.

This sounds too pushy. He/She may or may not want to interview you.

Say eg I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss this further with you in an interview.

Thanks Clive, what is your opinion about my skill list:

Work-related characteristics:
Focused on getting results in the most effective way possible
Detail-oriented
Analytical, seek to develop logical explanations for everything that interests me
Responsible
Conscientious
Honest?

Clive · Answer

I just have time for a couple of comments.

Skills are not the same as characteristics.

For analytical, I would focus on understanding more than on explaining. And I wouldn't restrict it to things that interest you.

Good luck,
Clive
