Application
for Undergraduate Internship Programme
Dear
Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the
internship position advertised in your official website. As requested, I am enclosing my resume for
your reference.
I am
currently a year 2 Life Sciences undergraduate in National University of
Singapore. My strong tertiary education,
relevant laboratory experience and enthusiasm will make me a very competitive
candidate for this position.
Last
August, I participated in the Open House programme organised by your
company. I am particularly interested in
the BioForest research project headed by Dr. Naweed Naqvi. The technology used and her scientific approach
in maximising the potential of laboratory grown seedlings captivate my
attention. I hope to be able to join her
team for this internship.
I believe
that I would an asset to your program as I am most willing to learn the
necessary skills. This internship would provide me with the ideal opportunity
to assist at your organization and to expand my research skills.
Thank you
for your time and consideration. I look forward to receiving your favourable
reply.
Yours sincerely,
Png
Ning
Hi Png Ning,
ReplyDeleteYour application is well written.
Just one suggestion:
"I believe that I would an asset to your program as I am most willing to learn the necessary skills."to be replaced by "I believe that I would an asset to your program as I am a keen learner."
The "keen learner" may act as power words.
Overall, it is clear and concise. All the best in your application!

Hi Png Ning,
ReplyDeleteYour experience of participating the program organized by the company will make you more competitive.
However, I think you should further elaborate your relevant laboratory experience to show your ability.
Hey Chris, thanks a lot for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteMichael, I agree with you that I should have concentrated more on my laboratory experience. Thank you very much for reading my post.
Hey Png Ning, i have a small suggestion to an otherwise clear application letter. You could have the line about your resume towards the end instead of the very beginning, after you explain your skills and experience, even though it is a requirement. I'm not sure how relevant it is, but it felt a bit odd.
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow!
Cheers :)
Hello Ning!
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a very effective application letter; it captures the audience with its succinctness and relevance.
I felt it was good that you stated your preference to work in a certain lab - this demonstrated your interest in the program clearly and sets this resume apart.
All the best!
