Mr. Robert White, Personnel Director
Western Public Relations
123 Jefferson Street, Suite 21
Boise, Idaho 83706
Dear Mr. White:
While recently researching
public relations firms, I discovered the internship opportunities that Western
Public Relations offers. I feel that my qualifications and professional goals
are well matched with what you are looking for in an intern.
As my enclosed resume
indicates, I am a current student at Boise State University, working towards
the completion of a Bachelors degree in Psychology. My goal is to apply the
knowledge of human perception I am gaining through my degree to the practice
of public relations. As I am entering my junior year, I am actively seeking
opportunities to learn the field of public relations and get practical
experience. In my previous work experiences, I have demonstrated strong
interpersonal and organizational skills, and through school projects, I have
developed excellent public speaking abilities.
The internship with Western
Public Relations is especially appealing to me because of how well-established
the company is. The opportunity to work with and learn from the experienced
staff of such a respected company would be invaluable. I am eager to put my
potential to use and to make my own unique contributions to the success of the
organization. If possible, I would like to meet with you to further discuss
this opportunity. I can be reached by phone at (208) 555-1234, or by e-mail at
JohnSmith@internet.com.
Thank you for your time and
consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
John Smith
