Dear Mr.Steven Jack 

Sub: Application for Internship Position

I am writing this letter to express my interest to join ABC Private Ltd. as an intern. I am a year two NUS undergraduate specialising in Computer Engineering.  I learnt from the industrial attachment fair that ABC Private Ltd. is hiring interns and hence, I would like to apply for the project Data Analysis process improvement for system level bring-up and characterization.

I feel that I have all the abilities that are needed for this project. My Programming skills are very good as I was a part of the team that developed Hypermarket Inventory Control and Monitoring System using C++ .Further, I was involved in another group project where we had designed and implemented an Autonomous Line Tracking Vehicle using hardware components. Further, my analytical skills have been recognised in some Mathematical and Physics competition.

My education in 4 different schools at 4 different places have made me adaptable to any situation .Thus, I am confident that I can overcome the challenge of working in this project with engineers present in different geographical locations. Also, my experience of working in teams in co-curricular activities by organising meetings and adhering to deadlines has improved my leadership and time-management skills.

My resume has been enclosed for your evaluation. Thank You very much for your time and consideration. If you have any further questions, I would be glad to furnish you with more information in an interview. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the number provided in my enclosed resume.

Thank you
Yours sincerely
Dinesh Thangavel

  1. Hi,Dinesh.
    Your application letter is really concise and clear, which is sometimes a advantage for applying a internship when there are hundreds of similar letters mailed into the company on one day.

    You has a nice and standard structure which closely follows the standard format.In the second paragraph,you list several projects that you have done. To be honest, although I has done the same projects as you, I did not notice their names. The projects names you used in your letter sound quite professional, which is a good point I think I may learn something from.You also have another third paragraph stating your adaptability, I think it is nice,too. It shows your potential to adapt the company environment well and this will increase your opportunity to get the internship.
    Good luck for your future application for this!

  2. Hi Dinesh.
    Your application is short and concise,which is good.In fact I finish reading it in one minute.which is a good thing because the officer only have 30 to 40 seconds for each application letter right?= =~
    you introduced your soft skill and professionalism in two different paragraphs.I think it makes your whole letter very well structured.Plus your clear opening and polite closing, overall the structure is clear.
    Just one suggestion, I think you can include more job related information and supporting detail, to show that you tailor your letter to this job.Maybe you have already done that? But I cannot see because I do not understand what Data Analysis process improvement for system level bring-up and characterization is.
    Cheers man.
    Good luck to your future application!
