Sample cover letter for Internship position at Google

Dear Mr. Armaker, I am writing to apply for a position in the WME 2011 Summer Internship Program. As a radio‐television‐film major at the University of Texas at Austin, I believe I have relevant educational and work experience to excel at an agency like William Morris Endeavor. I have always held a deep passion for the business of entertainment and want to apply that education, experience and passion in a career which requires business savvy individuals with a readiness to face new and exciting challenges. Why WME? William Morris Endeavor is the premier agency within the industry. The forward thinking nature and aggressive disposition WME displays have made it an industry leader and will cement its place as the premiere agency well into the future. The current strong emphasis on emerging media platforms to further the monetization of clients influencing ability on consumers and the launch of LVRAGE are clear displays of this thinking. I identify well with the culture of WME and, given the opportunity to learn from those around me, will work my way up and become an incredibly valuable asset to the company. As you can see from my resume, I have extensive experience in marketing and sales with Kaplan Test Prep and Paradigm Books. Both positions required personal and professional initiative and discipline, as my success was determined on my ability to form relationships, sell services, and prospect new business. Also, as treasurer of my fraternity I was required to manage an extensive budget and aggressively pursuing new members to meet revenue and operational objectives. I will be participating in UT’s Semester in Los Angeles Program in summer 2012. The program includes classes taught by industry professionals and an internship; all designed to help participants develop an in‐ depth understanding of the business and creative sides of the entertainment industry. An internship with WME will allow me to maximize this summer program and lay the foundation for my future career in entertainment management. My resume is attached for your review. I will arrive in Los Angeles on May 24 and will be available to interview in person any time after that date. Prior to that date, I am available to interview via phone or Skype. I look forward to hearing from you regarding an interview.
