Sample cover letter for Internship position at UNHCR
Protection Unit
To Whom It May Concern,
It was with great interest that I read your recent posting regarding the Sales Coordinator position in EF-Ecuador. I have been a frequent traveler with EF Tours and also documented my experiences on these tours in the social media community, EF’s The Equator Blog. My experiences on the Internet, and more particularly with social media, began in my awkward youth when I used websites such as MySpace and Bolt to stay in touch with my school chums and to make new friends.
While attending TempleUniversity, I kept myself up to date and well-informed of the social media networks during my leisure hours. I was, and still am, a frequent contributor to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare and others. I have written for the past three summers for EF Tours through Kristine Mickelson.
College has taught me a great deal when it comes to social media. At TempleUniversity, you were expected to have certain tools when it comes to the Internet. We had our own personal Temple e-mail and got assignments online through Blackboard. Some of our classes also had Facebook groups for assignments. Living in a big city, such as Philadelphia, also gave me something more to brag about on my social media websites, especially Foursquare and Instagram. On there, I could show what I was doing at all times and judge others reactions to my work.
Travel also became very important to me in college. My mother, an EF Group Leader who has led almost 50 student trips, started doing more exotic trips. Since starting college I have added two more continents to my resume and several more countries including Japan, China, Ecuador and Hong Kong. Travel and social media has become more universal since I have started seeing the world. Many of our hotels and airports had WiFi so we could access the Internet and social media while abroad.
Travel, college and social media have all shaped my life. Recently, they have all come together and formed my favorite leisure activity. Now that I am out of college at TempleUniversity, I would love to concentrate fully on my true passions – travel, photography and writing. I look forward to the possibility of working with EF College Break in the future, seeing as it combines all of my loves in life.
What sets me apart from other applicants for this position would be my familiarity with the way EF Tours painstakingly researches and puts together their packages for the student traveler. I am well aware of the hours and hours of effort spent working with vendors and suppliers trying to assemble the perfect travel experience and would welcome the chance to be a part of it all!
Sincerely,
