Sample cover letter for Internship position at Apple

Dear Hiring Manager,

I have worked on IC Design projects using Cadence for my coursework. I have used schematic to layout tools and extracted parasitic parameters of the design. I also performed pre and post layout analysis. I have in depth knowledge of microcontrollers and microprocessors. I am presently working on Advanced CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) review for the course project presentation. With this background I feel confident enough to apply for this position such that I get more exposure to real world Hardware Engineering which is much more advanced and updated than what we study or review.

I have been teaching MATLAB to sophomores here at University of Idaho. I taught signal processing to students and assigned filter design statement as a class project. I believe in interacting with students to share knowledge and also play a good listener role among my peers. Apart from academics, I have been involved with on-campus as well off-campus volunteerism to stay up to date with the community and structure helpful hands for people around me. My leadership skills are well admired by the institution as I am given opportunity to hold Vice-President and Secretary positions in Indian Students' Association and IMAPS student chapter at University of Idaho. I am also a passionate singer and often entertain my peers by singing during the relaxation hours.

I am applying in your company because I possess the job required knowledge and believe to get a challenging work statements while working a huge client oriented platform. I will be available to join immediately on selection as a full time intern during summer 2016.

Thank you
