Internship Application Advice

by  ResumeEdge.com - The Net's Premier Resume Writing and Editing Service

Just as there are an infinite variety of internships, there are an infinite variety of application processes. Each firm or organization will have a unique deadline, specific requirements, and expectations for follow-through. For example, while most internships will require a resume and cover letter, others will request writing samples, transcripts, or recommendations. Painstakingly follow instructions. You can make your application stand out by following the advice below.

CoverLetter:

Your efforts should be concise and well-organized. Keep in mind that cover letters for internships should be limited to one page and follow the standard four paragraph format of 1) stating your purpose for writing in plain language 2) explaining how your education, work history or unique background will allow you to make a substantive contribution to the position 3) describing your plan for action : interest in an interview or what you will do to follow through 4) a concise sincere sentence that thanks the recruiter or firm for considering your letter. If you are unsure of the tone or style of a cover letter, consult resources dedicated to the writing of cover letters for specific guidance. No matter what, do not write a single, generic cover letter and use it for all of your applications. Tailor your entire letter, especially the section where you discuss your background and experience, so that your letter is original and convincing.
