Sample cover letter for Internship position at parexel
statistical programming
Dear hiring manager,
I am writing to apply for the placement position of Statistical Programming (placement year) as advertised on the Parexel website. I am interested in employing my mathematical and statistical knowledge into projects that can help to change peoples’ lives for the better.
During my first two years at university I have gained the knowledge and relevant skill set to fit well into the advertised job. Using Microsoft office, I have analysed data and created spreadsheets, reports and presentations to conclude on a hypothesis. With VBA on Excel I can automate long repetitive processes making them more time efficient and using SPSS this year I have learnt how to work with large data sets and perform inferential analysis in order to test a hypothesis which will then lead to a decision being made in real life. Whether working individually or on a group project I know exactly what is required from me and how to achieve my targets and more.
In my first year at university, I was given the role of Student Learning Assistant. For this role I would plan and deliver additional sessions to foundation year maths and computer science students who were struggling with grasping some of the new concepts. This was enjoyable as it was challenging when extra patience and explanations were needed, but also a really rewarding experience once they had understood. Knowing that it was because of my delivery and explanation that somebody else had learnt something new is very worthwhile.
Being able to apply mathematics into the real world is something that is valuable as it has the potential to bring change for the better in the lives of many people. I want to be a part of a worldwide organization that has a real impact on real people whilst using my abilities and knowledge to its full extent.
Please find the attached CV for further information on my suitability for this role. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application and I do hope to hear back from you soon.
Sincerely,
