Sample cover letter for Internship position at Intern

Dear Hiring Manager:

Focusing on the issue at hand and executing it to the best of my ability is my specialty. I thrive in an environment that is detail-oriented, fast-paced and teamwork-driven, which is why I see myself prospering as a summer intern in the entertainment finance department at [Name].

As a sophomore, I am eager to experience the financial services industry in action while partaking in the work in any way I can. My prior research experience at NYU Stern School of Business through the Undergraduate Research Program has provided me with skills in researching databases as well as administering tests and surveys as part of a greater project. I also precisely documented and helped interpret the resulting data for further analysis by the overseeing professor. This experience has provided me with strong analytic and critical thinking skills, which are particularly useful in this industry. Furthermore, my time as a Business Development Intern at [NAME] has given me the tools needed to communicate and correspond with clients in a patient, efficient and professional manner.

As a hardworking, proactive and articulate individual, I hope to expand on my finance and entertainment marketing knowledge by actually working in this field this summer. I am particularly interested in working at [Name] due to its focus in the entertainment industry and global perspective the firm shares. I have not had the opportunity to work in this subsection of the business field, and I am excited to learn about the intersection of the entertainment and business first-hand. I tend to learn far more deeply by doing rather than simply reading a textbook, which is why I see myself as an asset to [name] during the summer.

If you would like any more information or have any questions, I can be reached at [info].

Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
