Sample cover letter for Internship position at legendary
internship
I am writing to express my enthusiasm in your summer internship. I am a student at Rio Hondo College
intending to transfer to Cal State Los Angeles to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree in Business, with emphasis on
Computer Information Technology. As a versatile business and computer information student, my inquisitive
nature is reinforced by my ability to think quickly, process systematically, and efficiently multi-task while
remaining detail oriented. I value team progress and can be trusted to perform diligently. These same skills I
carry with me in every aspect of my day as I work towards my life goals; one being an accomplished
project manager. I feel that your company places prominence in similar areas and having the privilege of
joining your innovative team will give me the exposure I need to advance my goals.
My present work experience is in the restaurant and food industry with Eat This Café in Hollywood. I was
initially hired as a cashier and food runner when it opened over three years ago, but was promptly trained
to become a server after proving my ability to quickly adapt, apply common sense, and utilize
observational skills. Since then, the café has built a favorable reputation with the public mainly through
Yelp users, due to the quality of product and courteous service. After performing consistently, I established
my position as one of the senior staff. My role evolved from being just a server to an entrusted and versatile
employee due to my ability to prioritize with quality.
While working at the café, I was able to network and gain a position as a producer’s assistant for the
production company DNA, Inc. I was able to work on the production of multiple music videos for artists
such as Tegan and Sara, Hunter Hayes, and The Roots. My responsibilities comprised of assisting the team
with various elements of the pre- and post-production and general administration duties. Being an admirer
of music, it was a humbling experience learning the ebb and flow of the industry, as well as the effort and
dedication needed to channel passion through art, palpably leaving me even more of a fan.
An additional interest of mine is programming. I am a volunteer at Scott Avenue Elementary and my role as
a liaison between my college and the elementary is to introduce the concept of programming. Our goal is
to teach the fundamentals at an early age and explore how their favorite apps and devices are made
and how they work. We encourage them to recognize it as a creative outlet, as well as increase their
awareness to the endless possibilities it has to offer especially in our technology-based world. Through
volunteering, I am able to share my appreciation for developing, analyzing, troubleshooting, and
improving – which are just a few of the skills that I am enriched with while studying programming.
My steadfast work ethic has proven that I am capable of growing in all aspects of the business and or
computer information field. I possess great verbal and written communication skills and blossom in a fast-
paced environment. I am an ambitious go-getter and look forward to showing you how passionate I am in
my commitments.
Attached you will find my resume which provides additional information on my background and
qualifications. Please feel free to contact me via phone or email.
