Sample cover letter for Internship position at Google

I am a diligent, self-motivated and analytical computer science graduate student at Stony Brook University. I am writing this letter to express my interest in the Software Developer (intern) position at EMC. EMC is a leading technology innovator that promotes creativity and ideas and touches people’s lives with technology, and this is what excites me about working at EMC. As a candidate with a strong academic background, relevant experience, and communications skills, I am confident that I could make a positive and productive contribution to your organization. I have worked on a variety of projects in various domains over the period of past 10 years and have been recognized on several occasions for coming up with creative solutions during my career.

I believe it’s an art to develop good software and one needs to be smart as well as creative to be a good software developer, a combination of these two qualities makes me a perfect fit for this position. Until recently, I was working with ICIC Lombard. In this role I focused on development of web applications using latest and cutting edge technologies such as Java, PHP, JavaScript, HTML 5, AJAX and worked on various frameworks. I gained comprehensive practical knowledge of distributed and cloud architecture, software development processes including agile, incremental builds and deployment automation. During this time, I developed a strong passion for distributed computing while working on IBM cloud projects where I got opportunity to develop front-end system and REST API services for cloud system.

Currently, I am working on developing an intelligent tutoring system that helps students develop and learn complex models in an intuitive way. Through this research opportunity I intend to learn about intelligent systems with learning capabilities through user behavior and feedback. As a software developer my role is to build features using JavaScript, PHP and MYSQL that allows users to construct complex models, plot the solutions and create an interactive system.

I am currently available for an interview at EMC. I have attached my resume detailing my academic knowledge and my technical skills. Thank you, your time and consideration is greatly appreciated.

I look forward to talking with you soon,

Sincerely,

Arnav Gupta
