Sample cover letter for Internship position at Brand Genetics

I write to you applying for the Insight and Innovation Internship at Brand Genetics. I learned that this position was available on the Career Hub website of the UCL. With this cover letter, please find a copy of my CV attached.

The nature of my academic experiences and extra-curricular initiatives have prepared me well for this position. As a student blogger, a diploma holder in two qualitative certifications, and as a published author of an academic research paper, I have honed my writing and analytical skills in many different roles. Researching multiple topics derived from various sources, I complied and presented my analysis to officials from the Government and to executives from the investment bank I interned at. However, I first developed inter cultural communication skills and social media marketing techniques as a participant and organizer of over 15 Model UN debates –many of which hosted students from different countries. The networks I developed through these engagements helped me build a strong team to collectively found a start-up which attempted to launch a product innovation that aimed at cutting daily household power consumption.

I believe these skills that I have developed, combine with my enthusiasm, determination and interest in this field, will assist me to fulfil the responsibilities of this position. If selected, I aim to gain industry experience and learn from insights of working under the leaders in brand innovation. I am available for an interview anytime over the next month and am ready to start, if selected, starting the 11^th of January.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely,
