Sample cover letter for Internship position at IBM

POSITION:

software engineering

Dear Hiring Manager,

It is with great interest that I am applying for the software Intern at IBM. As a graduate student at University’, I feel strongly that my education, technical base and research experience working with computers meet the requirements outlined in the job description.

During studying in NYU, I consolidate my skills in Java and C++ by participating course projects. I built a file system checker using C++ and developed a chatroom client/server system and client/server mode game in java. I also worked as a research assistant in IDG for 3 years. I developed functional Matlab software in Linux for psychologist, neuroscientist and doctors according to their requirement in research projects. And I also improved my communication and cooperation ability in teamwork with people from different academic background with different requirements.

Now, I am ready to learn new technology. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to bring my skills to IBM and I think IBM can help me improve myself in all respects. I look forward to learning more about this role and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet you in person. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you for your consideration.
