Sample cover letter for Internship position at Consulting Company

Since partnering with your staff on the Community Capacity Initiative while I was working for Communities First, I have admired ABC Consulting’s approach to organizational capacity building and social ventures. I enjoyed learning more about the firm through your on-campus recruiting process this fall and am excited to apply for the summer fellow position within the Nonprofit Practice of ABC Consulting. My experience with consulting projects and complex organizations, interpersonal and leadership skills, and analytical perspective make me a strong match for the position.

I have a history of achievement and innovation in intricate organizations that spans seven years of full-time employment and several consulting engagements. At Communities First, I built the relationships necessary to navigate a complex culture and establish a new program, Outreach Now. While this effort required interpersonal skills, leadership, and flexibility over the long-term, I approached each task analytically to identify key issues and articulate step-by-step plans.

This analytic perspective was applied with the consulting projects I took on as a graduate student at the George Washington University. Building upon my professional experience, I am currently providing pro-bono consulting for the DC Urban Initiative. My analytical frameworks guide our work to develop an innovative Asset Management tool that will help the client better invest its resources.

I share ABC’s commitment to community that you demonstrate through pro bono services and the leadership roles your staff plays in cities around the world, and I admire the firm’s long-running diversity and inclusion efforts. The opportunity to be part of a learning organization that emphasizes coaching and training is one I value greatly.Thank you for your time and consideration. My resume is attached for your review. Please let me know if I can provide references or additional information. I look forward to talking with you and your team further about the Policy Analyst position.
