Hi Ms Desy Ang,
I am writing in with regards to the application for the internship position as a Assistant Engineer intern with your company. I am currently in my third year of Civil Engineering, and it would be a utmost opportunity to be able to work in Sunlink Engineering Pte Ltd, as I am keen in the area of project management. As a quick learner and having a similar previous experience while doing my attachment with Works Infrastructure Pte Ltd in polytechnic, I would adapt to the working environment effectively without much orientation.
Project management has always been my interest as it requires more than the academic knowledge we acquire in schools. As a project manager, one has to constantly deal with changing circumstances, and manage the project effectively so that it can be completed duly without incurring extra costs. Having taken core as well as a Higher Level Technical Elective modules in project management in my course, I have been trained to perform work scheduling and resource allocation effectively, which would be advantageous as part of my jobscope requires me to have a hands-on experience on site and in project management.
I have also taken part in various student projects in school, namely the Sports Camp as part of the organising committee. This has also enabled me to apply problem-solving and management skills in order to oversee the execution of the tasks undertaken by my department smoothly. I have also managed to enhance my communication and public relations techniques at the same time, and collectively, i think that these skills would aid me greatly as an intern Assistant Engineer in project management as it is people-oriented.
Hence, once again, I would like to express my keen interest in this internship and hope that I would be considered. Please do contact me at 92700577 should you require any additional information. Thank you very much
Best regards,
Adrian Tan

Dear Adrian,
ReplyDeleteI find your application letter very impressive. I especially like how you linked your involvement in the sports camp to the needs of the employer.
However, perhaps you would like to use words found in the advertisement such as proficiency in MS office, and having a Class 3 license. Using such phrases in the first paragraphs may highlight to your employer that you have the requirements that he is looking out for.
Perhaps you can also be mindful of your grammar, especially if it's found in the first paragraph, such as 'I am writing in with..." can perhaps read 'I am writing with regards to...as an Assistant'.
I wish you best of luck for your internship position, if you are in fact applying for it.
With regards,
Jihan Abdat
Hi Adrian
ReplyDeleteI would suggest you to remove "Hi" in your final application letter.
Now, on for the critique:
Your cover letter does seem to be well crafted, you have effectively made use of the skills obtained in your CCAs and related them to project management. You have also shown your interest in project management through the courses that you took.
You have also illustrated (directly or indirectly) that you have nealy all the skills required for the job.
Personally, apart from the suggestions put forward by Jihan, I do not see how your letter could be further improved.
Regards,
Christopher
Dear Adrian,
ReplyDeleteInteresting and concise application letter, which captures the reader's attention and relates your experiences well with what is required for the job.
Just a thought that Hi might not be very appropriate as it is supposed to be formal? Not so sure about that.
Great that you brought out your communication skills too.
Good luck :)
Best regards
