Sample cover letter for Internship position at Denison Consulting LLC

Dear [Name],

I recently met with [Name,] the student coordinator of [Program Name] at the University of Michigan, and he discussed an opportunity to work with the Denison Consulting team as a project manager intern. While researching your company, I came across Denison’s “What are you really measuring with a culture survey?” article. I particularly related to this study because of my own experience crafting survey tools to measure organizational conditions. After reading the article, I gained a deeper respect for Denison and its dedication to produce high quality tools for accurate organizational measure. If allowed the opportunity, I know Denison would benefit from my technological abilities and experience with organizational development research.

Last semester in Psychology 260, my team and I had had the chance to measure and analyze the culture and motivation of [Company Name’s] offices in Ann Arbor for a semester-long action project. In order to ensure the academic legitimacy of our survey I spent numerous hours independently researching how to write a strong survey and sharpened my techniques during office hours with our group’s GSI. I became increasingly skilled in drafting strong questions that were reliable, valid, and free of the numerous biases that often plague surveys and skew data.

This project also provided me with my first exposure to the Qualtrics survey platform. My technological inclination allowed me to easily navigate the program and obtain an understanding of the software’s capabilities quickly. This platform allowed my team and I to distribute our questionnaire efficiently and to collect data in a more organized fashion. I was able to quickly and accurately analyze our research findings by using all the tools this software has to offer.

I have a strong passion for developing organizations and taking full advantage of modern technology to aid in this feat. Denison’s attention to detail and devotion to quality methods ensures me that it would be the perfect place to develop my knowledge and skills. I am a fast learner and would thrive in Denison’s fast-paced environment if permitted this incredible opportunity. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
