Application for an Internship





Dear Ms. xx,



I am writing to inquire about possible opportunities for an internship in your quality department in the USA. I have found the internship at your careersite.



My name is xx xx and I am currently studying Mechanical Engineer at the „Hochschule Aalen“ University of Applied Science in the 4th semester. For my future working life it is very important to get practical insights. I was able to convince myself, that your company fulfills all the requirements a successful employee should offer.



In July 2008, I passed the exam as industrial business management assistant at xx. During my 2 years as quality assistant, I furthered my knowledge in quality management. I this case I visited a lot of trainings in the quality area. You will find more details of it in my resume.



An Internship at your company would be a great chance for me to become more practice in the quality department. I like to set my special emphasis of my studies on quality management. I hope the internship introduce me further in this topic.



The earliest date I could begin my internship, is at the beginning of August 2013. I would prefer a period of 6 month. However I would be available according to your requirements.

Do you really think that you are ready to work in a commercial English speaking environment?
I think you need to be much more aware of what you are trying to communicate and how...

Your success in the application process and during your future work depends on how clearly you can express yourself.
HR managers can read between the lines, but you also have to demonstrate why you are the best applicant.

What transferable skills can you offer?
What makes you so special?
What can you do for them (and not only the other way around)?

Do you need them to help you with your work visa or will you work for free?
