Ich möchte mich für volunteer- bzw. Praktikastellen in den USA bewerben. Ich war zwar schon ein paar Monate in England allerdings ohne einen Sprachkurs zu machen, weshalb es bei mir vor allem an der Grammatik und an spezifischen Berufs- und Ausbildungsbegriffen hapert. Zudem kenn ich mich absolut nicht mit den amerikanischen Bewerbungs"vorschriften" aus. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn jemand von euch meinen Text korrigieren könnte - gerne auch mit Umforumlierungen, die sich einfach besser lesen!
Dear Sir oder Madam? → Kein Ansprechpartner zu finden!
In response to the post which was advertised on your website I am writing to apply as a volunteer/as an intern during the period of May 20th and July 20th 2014 at the Museum of... .
Currently I am studying art history (major) and education at the University of *** in Germany. I expect to do my Bachelor of Arts degree with a grade of 1.4 at the end of the upcoming semester. In consideration of my two subjects of study I have chosen the educational museum service [Museumspädagogik?] as my prospective department [Arbeitsbereich/feld?]. Thats why I am looking forward to do an two-months internship at the museum education of the xyz Museum in Germany after I have finished my studies. During this internship I will especially work and interact with children aged betweend 5 and 12 years.
To gain some more practical experience in interacting with visitors, to participate behind the scences of an international museum and of course to get some work experience abroad and to improve my english skills I am applying for the post as a volunteer at your museum.
Because of the informations that I could take from your website I am sure that supporting you in your museum would be a professional and personal enrichment for me.
With the experience I have gained during my studies and with the experience I will have gained from my internship in Germany I feel that I could fit very well in your musuem and assist you with different duties and responsibilities.
I am an open-minded, determined and willing to work [?] person. As you will note from my resume, I worked as an short term Aupair in xyz, United Kingdom to improve my english skills which will be *** for you.
Besides you should know that it shouldn't cause any problem to get an employment permit up to 3 months at the time I am receiving an letter of acceptance.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
