Dear xxxx,

in an ever changing logistical environment continuously major improvements and strategic advancements are necessary. Several driving forces like technological breakthroughs, e.g. drones or 3D-printers, will lead to a revolution of the sector for parcel services and logistics within the next decades. Technological developments and both operational and organizational improvements promise an efficient and accelerated future of parcel logistics. Though not very affordable yet, same-day delivery is already practiced by the Deutsche Post DHL Group in selected metropolitan areas.

I bring relevant experience from a previous internship within a restructuring consulting project on qualitative and quantitative analysis as well as optimization of sourcing and logistics processes at a German Automotive manufacturer. Therefore I know on the importance of an efficient management of the internal and external interfaces within a company. In xxxx I had the unique experience of studying abroad in China for half a year. By taking this opportunity, I improved my intercultural skills as well as my English skills.

I never give up but decisively accept and solve upcoming challenges with my strong analytical skills and my exceptional enthusiasm.
