Sample cover letter for Internship position at Amazon

Firstly, as mentioned in section 7, in 2013 SA’s startups only account for 1% of the total, the

lowest rate on the mainland. Adelaide only has few established big startups, presenting a

limited number of role models to the public. In other words, it conveys an implicit message

to potential entrepreneurs and investors that Adelaide lacks brisk innovation culture. In

addition, Adelaide is well-known as a slow-paced liveable city, in stark contrast with the

startup culture which favours fast actions and competitive dynamics. Many young

entrepreneurs are inclined to seek more opportunities in hotspot cities like Sydney and

Melbourne. The most challenging problems for SA government to address is to develop

strategies to decelerate devastating brain drain and encourage talents to establish footholds

in Adelaide.

Secondly, due to geographical isolation, startup network issues loom large. Compared with

Sydney and Melbourne, too few incubators are located in Adelaide, indicating government

should employ effective policy instruments to attract more domestic and international

investors to provide adequate financial support. Lastly, government should provide more

entrepreneurial educations to enable breakthroughs in the relative conservative business

ideas. SA government should develop a strategic plan to grapple with network issue in order

to strengthen its connection with international market and make Adelaide the home for

young entrepreneurs
