Sample cover letter for Internship position at Novartis

POSITION:

2016 Summer Internship: R&D Engineering

I am writing to apply for the 2016 Summer Internship: R&D Engineering- Lake Forest,

CA position, found on the graduateland website. I am a Sophomore pursuing a

Bachelor of Science in Engineering, and majoring in X Engineering at

X University in X. With my engineering coursework and

ongoing project experience, my innovative mindset and affinity for problem

solving, I believe I am a strong candidate for this role.

As a high school student and even more as an undergraduate, I have balanced a

rigorous course load and a number of extracurricular activities that have allowed

me to enhance my skills relevant to this role.

Specific to engineering, through my academic work I have developed abilities in

overall product designing and have practiced different experiences requiring

numerous engineering calculations and analysis . Thus, I developed a true passion

for engineering. Therefore, I got engaged in a team including some of the best

students in the Engineering universities and participated in 

International UAV Competition. In which I got a considerable

experience in using PC-based software tools. I have also developed the strong

interpersonal and communication skills required to succeed as the R&D

Engineering Intern. Throughout all of my experiences, I have used my dedication

to efficient creative problem solving, and my self-motivation and ability to

multitask to prioritize and manage competing demands to positive ends. I

am very eager to apply my engineering knowledge and skills and even more to

maximize them at the Novartis Company.

I am very interested in this opportunity and any other one you propose to be more

adequate for me and I look forward to learning more about it. I have attached my 

resume as well for your consideration; it contains

not only a further description of my ongoing project, but a more in-depth

review of other related taken courses and experiences. Please feel free to

contact me by email. Thank you very much

for your consideration.
