Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Riot

I am writing to apply for XXXX. Having graduated in my BA degree with first class honours, I am currently studying the XXX at the XXXX. My education background brought me a Trinity Force, and, my multilingual skills including fluent English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien have stacked the Mejai’s Soulstealer so I am ready to do tons of contribution at Riot Games. (Phreak does damages but I do contributions!)

I was born and bred in Yordle Land (Hong Kong*), and I am the first member of my family to receive university education. Five years ago, I started my adventure, “Hut.2.3.4…” to Shadow Isles (United Kingdom*). My university education turned out to be a life-changing experience: not only have I met friends and academics that have, both intellectually and personally, greatly inspired me, I have enjoyed the opportunity to face any challenges such as time management, group projects and society affairs. Since my penultimate year, I worked at XXX as a Marketing Assistant, I improved my multi-tasking skills so I could manage my time efficiently on studying, working, gaming and social activities. In fact, my strong adaptability allowed me to produce quality outputs in a fast-pace environment. For example, my dissertation project was rejected three times but I needed to submit 3 assignments and 1 dissertation within 2 months; through the hard-work and strategies they were finished before the deadline and all of them received the first-class result.

My passion for gaming has been developed since I was 4-year-old. Back in the memory of my childhood, I learnt to play my first PC game – Command and Conquer. Apart from C&C, I have also owned various gaming consoles and played a wide variety of games. For instances, Pokemon, Battlefield, Warcraft 3 and League of Legends. I love playing games because they are fun and gaming can actually build-up my skills such as management and teamwork. I was the coach and analyst of Leicester Uni Tigers (NUEL) in 2015; I managed my team to win by making data researches, ban-and-pick strategies and tactics through effective team communication, cohesion and trust. As a result we ranked within top 20 and we were happy with the result. Through LoL I met a lot of friends, improved my teamwork skills and helped me to relax.

Riot Games appeals to me as a top-tier firm in the gaming industry; this is exemplified by the amount of active daily players, scale of tournaments and number of awards. Recently I have been to SSE Arena to see the AHQ vs SKT matches, I was amazed by the atmosphere and power of gaming; I want to become one of the contributor. Therefore, I believe my enthusiastic in gaming, personality, marketing experiences and strong education background would make me a strong candidate as I am capable to improve the local player experience and works well with the team.

I treat the opportunity to be interviewed as the crucial step for me to embark on my career at Riot Games. I hope Thresh could throw me his valuable lantern and I look forward to click it.
