Sample cover letter for Internship position at Advantec

I am writing this letter in response to your internship opportunity at your Diamond Bar office. I would like to start my first internship at your firm because I believe that your firm will able to challenge and help me develop into becoming a successful civil engineer. I am also specifically interested in working for your firm because of its strong emphasis in caring about both staff and clients.

For my first two years of college, I majored in Business Administration with a focus in Finance. I switched to Civil Engineering after discovering my interest of it while working in construction. I acknowledge that I would have only have accomplished two years of engineering-related coursework by the start of the internship, so I carry a chip on my shoulder in order to push myself to my fullest potential. Furthermore, because of my extracurricular activities in Concrete Canoe and former business background, I have the passion and personable skills that will allow me to thrive whether I’m out in the field and within the office environment.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I eagerly welcome the opportunity of an interview so that I can discuss with you personally on how my skills, personality and work habits best match your team.
