Sample cover letter for Internship position at AMP

Dear Ms Jenkins,

As a distinction average final year Accounting and Finance major student who has completed an international

Internship with KMPG and demonstrated a consistent track record of success in part-time and extracurricular

activities, I am confident that I have the required skills, knowledge and experience to be successful in the

AMP Graduate Program.

In addition to maintaining a distinction average during my Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting and Finance) at

the University of New South Wales, I have also achieved a high distinction average in Finance courses, which

highlights my strong interest in the finance industry.

To supplement my studies, I have successfully completed a two-month Internship in KPMG’s Audit Division at

their Shanghai Office, earlier this year. During this Internship, I was assigned to the manufacturing client

industry group where I collected information from clients, performed analytical reviews, and assisted other

team members to prepare financial statement reports. I utilised my verbal and written communication skills by

negotiating with a diverse range of internal stakeholders, clients and the Big 4 banks to acquire audit evidence

and write formal reports to my direct manager detailing the progress of the project.

Further to this experience, I have demonstrated a consistent track record of high achievement through my

part-time work and extracurricular activities. Whilst working at the Macleay Hotel, I was promoted by the Hotel

Manager to Site Supervisor within a 2 month period as a result of my high performance. In this role I

developed strong leadership skills having trained and supervised more than 30 staff members from a range of

cultural backgrounds.

Most recently, I have read with great interest the plans of AMP to form a funds management joint venture in

China as part of a strategy to enhance AMP’s presence in Asia. This new venture has attracted my attention

to the Graduate Program as I am seeking an opportunity to utilise my Chinese background in applying my

knowledge and skills at a leading company with a growing presence both in Australia and China. Following

the completion of my degree, I would like to work as a Chartered Financial Analyst and develop a career in

wealth management. I believe the AMP 2014 Graduate Program will provide me with the opportunity to

achieve this.

The combination of my motivation to work with AMP and my proven track record for high achievement in my

studies, work and extracurricular activities make me a suitable candidate for the Wealth Management

Graduate Program at AMP.

Please find enclosed my resume for your review. I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss with you

this position as well as my academic, work and extracurricular achievements. Thank you for your time and

consideration.

Yours sincerely,
