Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Human rights watch

POSITION:

Officer

Dear Human Resources Officer,

I am a social scientist with M.A. in Sociology and a specialization in International Relations, Human Rights and Advocacy. I have ten years of professional experience in projects within International Organizations and Public Agencies of Brazil as interlocutor. Those jobs have given me the opportunity of looking at Brazilian Administrative and political environment from a privileged perspective. I have advanced knowledge in German language because I study in Germany as a child and have Germans relatives.

I would like to use this space to highlight two experiences that are not on my resume. My M.A degree was obtained at Social Science, in a graduate program about comparative studies in the America’s region. Therefore I spent two years studying mostly social and political issues in Latin America. During my certificate program at University of York, I made my empirical research and final project in advocacy about the impoverished refugees camps in that area. 

I am excited about this job opportunity, as I follow the (company name) works and share the same concerns and broad objectives in a world in which government politics, business, civil society and people are free of corruption. Thus I would like to be consider for the Regional Coordinator for the Americas position, since I have particular interest in this post for its responsibilities and commitments suits my interests, skills, experiences and career goals. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
