RE: Summer Internship 2016

Dear Ms. [ ],

It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application for the summer internship with Opal Consulting Group. My name is [ ], and I am a rising senior at [ ]. I am a political science major, concentrating in International Relations. With my considerable writing and communication skills, I believe I am a strong candidate for the position. I have demonstrated strong academic performance in my courses and also have experience working internationally in Barcelona, Spain and Abuja, Nigeria. As you will note in my enclosed resume, I have solid interpersonal skills, with the ability to interface with individuals at all levels. I have exceptional analytical capabilities which are essential for this position.

My adaptable, assertive, and curious nature has led me to work experiences across varied industries. For the past two summers, I spent a month working with Vector Marketing. My time there taught me practical business and professional skills in a dynamic environment. This experience serves as an introduction to the sales and customer service field. It also granted me the opportunity to apply the quantitative and qualitative judgements I have developed throughout my time at [ ]. In addition, I bring to the table advanced computer skills with expertise in MS Office and familiarity with both Windows and Mac. I know my diverse skills and qualifications will make me a strong asset to the OCG team.

As you will see from the attached resume, I’ve worn many different hats. I’ve gained experience in a variety of roles and industries and have gained a diversity of valuable skills that can be useful in any fast paced environment. I have the ability to learn quickly and work well with others to complete tasks diligently and promptly. I have experience in the US and overseas in Barcelona and Nigeria. Along with these skills, I am a responsible and respectful individual who takes pride in her work.

In closing, as an intern, I am confident that my skills and interests can add to the integrity and innovation of OCG. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

[ ]
