Dear Hiring Manager,
While conducting research on the field of international development on LinkedIn, I came across
your organization and decided to learn more by visiting your website. I am excited about the current
projects you provide in Latin America in support of human rights. I noticed on the Seton Hall
University internship database that an internship is available with your organization this upcoming
summer. My extensive knowledge of international affairs, along with my Spanish language skills and
enthusiasm for empowering international communities, would allow me to make a valuable
contribution to your organization.
I will graduate from Seton Hall University in May 20xx with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science
and a minor in Spanish. I have consistently received positive feedback from my professors
concerning the accuracy and efficiency of my research projects, and I have played leadership roles in
many academic group projects.
I learned a great deal about Latino cultures and global issues associated with human rights and
poverty, and I would like to put my knowledge to good use. I am interested in getting experience at
an organization that aims to make a difference for disadvantaged individuals in developing countries.
In the fall of 2012, I completed a study-abroad program in Argentina, where I practiced my Spanish
skills and served as a volunteer for a community project to benefit orphans. I would like to continue
to contribute my relevant skills to your organization as a student intern.
I look forward to speaking with you further about my qualifications for this internship. I have
attached my resume for your review. If you have any questions, you may contact me via email at

Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the position as a PCSS Student Technician Administration
Assistant with the Technology Service Desk. I saw an advertisement in The Setonian newspaper
indicating that your office is seeking new employees and I am very interested to apply. I have
experience working with customers, in addition to technical skills working with Microsoft Word,
Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft OneNote, movie editor, and know how to
trouble shoot small problems, which I believe are all essential skills for this position.
I feel I am a good candidate for this position because I learn quickly and work very efficiently. To
date, one of the largest responsibilities I have had was leading the prom committee at my high
school. In this position, I delegated tasks to the other committee members and made sure everyone
knew what they were doing and when deadlines were. I helped the teacher in charge of the
committee organize the charts for seating arrangements and schedule the events for the night. I feel
that this role as a leader will help me in this Technician Administration Assistant position because of
my experience organizing and delegating. I also delegated tasks when I worked in a concession
stand. On one particular occasion, our concession stand team worked with volunteers from the
American Red Cross to help recruit blood donors while also distributing food for a fundraiser.
During this time, I assisted coordinating different tasks to various individuals so as a team we could
function effectively. Fhemoe, I alo hae epeience olneeing a m high chool
registration to help check and file paper work into filling cabinets. That experience sets me up
greatly for working in an office area where filing is mandatory. In all, I feel I would be a great
addition to your Technician Administration team.
Thank you for taking time to consider me for this PCSS Student Technician Administration
Assistant position. I have included my resume with more information about my experiences. If you
have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me by phone (000-000-0000) or by email
