Sample cover letter for Internship position at Giz

Dear HR Team,

Please take a moment to consider my candidacy for the mentioned position. The enclosed CV will serve as proof of my skills acquired through my career experience and academic disciplines and extracurricular activities, which directly apply to the job description. I gained considerable experience in international multi-lingual communication and cross-cultural business negotiations at X Ltd.

My interest in this opportunity is high and I am confident that I am an excellent candidate for the job because I have the qualities and motivation to achieve maximum efficiency in this position:

• High interest in food quality and sustainability. Throughout my business studies in Bulgaria and the Netherlands, I developed an immense interest in sustainable innovations and I have been willing to contribute to projects that would generate a higher life quality for our planet’s population. I worked closely with the X organization in CITY, that pleads for natural-grown products and food safety. As a collaborator, I produced and directed a documentary film to promote X's views and increase public awareness about food and consumption in the Balkans. This implied travel planning for participants, setting up meetings and interviews with participants and organizers, attaining rights to film and preparing necessary documentation. 


• Ability to multi-task and to speak multiple languages at once. As an Account Manager at the Sofia-based office of X Ltd., I spoke to clients via phone and e-mail in Russian, Romanian and English on a daily basis. At the same time, the unofficial internal communication with colleagues was in Bulgarian, and official reports were written in business English. I ensured that concise, accurate and timely information was provided to both customers and management or related departments in the appropriate language and communication style. 


• I am a self-starter and highly cultivated interpersonal skills: detail-oriented, strategist with good communication abilities and organization. Experience in designing and managing advertising campaigns, marketing plans and social media. Experience in communication with individuals from different backgrounds and ability to reach them through various communication channels. 


• Experienced event manager. As a senior producer of a university TV show, I had to occasionally organize social events, set up mass interviews and video-shoots, organize seminars about journalism and mass communication for new-coming students, journalism workshops. Also, as a producer of the greatest video project at the University X – X LipDub, I was working along with a big student team to organize, plan and shoot the project. The organization process took one academic year. 
I am looking forward to apply my knowledge and international experience that I gained abroad to make a change in my home country and to become one of the innovators that will lead Moldova to a sustainable economic future and high life quality. 
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kindest Regards,
