Sample cover letter for Internship position at Unilever

Dear Sir/Madam,

. I am convinced that the culture at Raiffeisen Bank International is truly unique and conducive to one’s personal and professional growth. A culture emphasizing the value of a team, Raiffeisen Bank International encourages its employees to receive constant feedback and support from one’s peers, supervisors and mentors. I have every confidence that the opportunity to work within this company as a spring or a summer intern will provide the best training available, and significant exposure to what drives the banking sector.

My background in economics and mathematics has cultivated my interest in understanding how the finance sector operates and has also greatly strengthened my quantitative and analytical skills. Moreover, my internships at the Government Office of the Slovak Republic and UMS (Consulting/Insurance Company in Slovakia) have exposed me to some of the key concepts and tools used in the industry ranging from theoretical securities valuation to economic factors affecting currency and rates markets. Similarly, I am confident that my experiences at these institutions will help me prepare for the demands of a challenging environment at Raiffeisen Bank International. I have grown very accustomed to working under pressure and multitasking having successfully balanced my jobs (Debate Mate and The London Guide) with a vast amount of extra-curricular activities while maintaining a rigorous, full-time course load. The Raiffeisen Bank International's Business Principles greatly resonate with me, especially the first principle of placing the clients’ interests as paramount. My experience working in UMS has truly made me attuned to best serving a client’s needs. I have worked in an environment where providing the best quality service possible to retain existing clients and attract new clients is of utmost importance. Having the opportunity to interact with clients has also substantially honed my interpersonal and communication skills. I consider myself to be a driven and energetic team player, capable of functioning as both a contributing member as well as a leader. I am very enthusiastic about bringing my energy and my eagerness to learn from Raiffeisen Bank International.


The reason why I am convinced that I am able enough to work at Raiffeisen Bank International is that not every twenty year old student has as much experience as me. All the actives I have been involved in portray and prove my drive and strong ambition to really make a change in the world. I am sure that Raiffeisen Bank International employs only exceptional individuals and to convince you that I belong to this category I would like to describe two experiences of mine.

During my internship at the Slovak Government, I was assigned to a team of 10 members and our task was to make a proposal of indicators to measure the progress of Europe 2020 policy. As the youngest member of the team, I was invited to present this proposal to the Polish Government in Warsaw. Consequently, I was invited for an internship in the European Commission in 2016.

I believe that I have sufficiently expressed my interest and motivation to be involved with this company and to provide a strong contribution to the work culture at Raiffeisen Bank International.
