Sample cover letter for Internship position at world bank
development researcher
Dear Ms. Randell, I am writing to express my interest in the Management Development Program at [Company]. I am a senior at [Name of University] majoring in business and finance, and graduating in May 2015. Having held several internships during the summers and worked part-time on campus, I have about 1.5 years of relevant work experience in [data management] and [customer service]. I was impressed to learn about this program, and I believe I have the educational background, business training, and some related work experience that would make me a good fit for this program, and help me contribute to the company’s goals. Specifically, I would like to mention: • Bachelor's degree in Business Management: I have taken all major business courses including Accounting, Finance, Statistics, Business Law, Marketing, and Macro /Micro Economics. I have developed solid analytical skills through my coursework, and maintained a consistent 3.0 GPA. In my Business Strategy class, I worked on a special project where my team analyzed a company’s business model and competitive landscape and made a decision on whether a particular merger would be beneficial. This project further developed my analytical and statistical researching abilities. • Communication and Problem Solving Skills: In all my jobs I have had to communicate with many different types of customers and have always managed to deliver the highest quality service. I am good at thinking on the spot and trouble shooting a variety of logistical issues and solving problems. For example, while working at the library, students and teachers query about specific authors, titles, and subjects. When the exact book they are looking for is not available, I work with them to determine which book would be the next best option. • Teamwork and Leadership: I have had the good fortune to be given a number of leadership responsibilities on campus, including running the library and being a leader on my college Ultimate Frisbee team. Ultimate Frisbee is a sport built on the foundation of spirit and sportsmanship and has driven me to become a terrific team player. As a team, we have undertaken 60+ hours of volunteer work around Washington, DC, including running numerous food donation programs. Again, I believe I will be a good addition to your team and I appreciate being considered for the Management Development Program at [Company]. Thank you in advance for taking the time to review my candidacy, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,
