Sample cover letter for Internship position at Yahoo

I am interested in Ma'a Salama Logistics and Communications Intern position that you listed on NYUAD Careernet. I believe that my strong organizational and management skills together with my interest in NYUAD’s student life activities make me a strong candidate.

Since being at NYUAD, I have tried to take advantage of all the amazing student life activities and opportunities available to us. Now, I want to contribute to the student life at NYUAD and I believe this internship provides me with the chance to do so. In Pakistan, I volunteered with different organizations and this not only made me familiar with the office environment but also improved my ability to work in a team. At WWF, I delivered presentations to large groups of students whereas at Rising Sun Institute, I worked on a personal level with students with special need, helping me develop my communication and interpersonal skills. Overall, my work experience has helped me to foster strong organizational and multi-tasking skills as well making me detail- oriented.

My background in Computer Studies has provided me extensive knowledge of Microsoft Office, making me proficient in Microsoft Office and Excel. I am also learning Adobe Photoshop and InDesign through online lectures to improve my design skills. Additionally, I am confident that my past experience with organization of informative lectures, school events and mathematics competitions will prove useful for your department and will come as a great help for the coordination Ma’a Salama events and volunteer recruitment.
