Sample cover letter for Internship position at Iris

Dear Dr. Bérubé,

I will be graduating at the end of this semester and am currently looking for full time employment. I had the opportunity to review a number of companies in the optometry field and I have chosen to apply to IRIS because I feel it is a leader in its field. I believe the core values of IRIS as demonstrated by its emphasis on high quality products, excellent customer service, state of the art facilities and excellent customer relations are what characterize its strengths. I have witnessed this first hand by personally visiting three different IRIS stores in different malls in Montreal and I was very impressed with the service I received in selecting my glasses and contacts.

During the course of my studies, I have had the opportunity to participate in stages in the Montreal area which allowed me to directly apply the theory and the techniques that we acquired during the course of our studies. This stage also gave me an opportunity to develop critical skills in customer relations, product knowledge, and ability to work under pressure, team work and independence which I believe are critical elements and essential qualities for an optometrist working at iris. I believe that my theoretical background coupled with my leadership and teamwork skills which I have acquired over the various stages, have prepared me to be able to take a position within one of the IRIS franchises and to bring a value added contribution to the IRIS network.

I am deeply motivated and inspired to achieve success within your organization and am available for an interview at your earliest convenience and discretion. Until then, if you require any more information feel free to reach me at the contact information below. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
