Sample cover letter for Internship position at KPMG
Technology Consultant Intern
Dear KPMG Internship Recruiting Team
Your posting for a position in “Intern Advisory LA IT Audit & Assurance Summer 2017”
immediately commanded my attention. As a veteran technologist with an analytical mindset, I
appear to meet all of the stated requirements. This internship would be a perfect place to
continue my career.
As the attached resume details, my real-world experience and education provide me with a
solid ground in the technical aspects that this position required. I have been challenging
myself with data-driven problem solving using various statistical tools and engineering
practices. What made me stand out from the crowd is the ability to think out of the box, make
a long-term judgment, and meet bottom-line expectation. There were many times when I
utilized my creativity to reinvigorate a seemingly mundane operation. The one that I did
recently was proposing a centralized cloud data storage to collect and share documents
related to the grader's work. This revamped the traditional process from clumsy sending a
chain of emails to an efficient grading logistics. My past experience in successfully resolving
many non-functional technical issues also demonstrates my forte at analytical reasoning. For
instance, I had worked on improving the performance of Foreign Exchange Automated
Trading Agent. By incorporating Java-based profiling and memory analyzing tools, I managed
to track down bottlenecks in the system and reduced the overall latency by more than ten
times. Such problems do not normally show up, require deep logical deduction and
perseverance to solve. Additionally, many years of serving the financial industry have
inculcated me with a business mindset and led me to form a strong passion for bridging a gap
between business problems and IT solution.
KPMG's commitment to empowering businesses strongly reflects my professional direction.
As a nimble learner who always embraces a new idea and believes in the value of
collaboration, I am eager to work alongside colleagues who may have a different background,
contribute my technical and analytical skills to solve a challenging problem. This will
unquestionably be an invaluable experience.
Naturally, I would appreciate the opportunity to learn more and the intriguing chance to
participate with KPMG. Please feel free to contact me via my email or phone if there are any
questions. Thank you for your time and serious consideration.
Sincerely,
XXXX
