Dear Director of Human Resources:
This letter is in response to your posting for the IT College to Corporate
Internship in Charlotte, North Carolina. As a junior Digital Information Design
major at Winthrop University, my concentration in Web Application Design has
prepared me to develop server-side programs for the web.
My minor is computer science, which has greatly improved my programming
skills and has given me a competitive edge over my peers.
I am proficient in C++, XHTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, and ActionScript 3.0, and I
am also experienced in using Oracle, MySQL, Visual Studios, ASP.net using C#,
Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and Microsoft Office Suite.
My hard work ethic sets me apart from my peers because I am willing to put in as
many hours as it takes to get a job done.
For instance, my sophomore year in college, my teacher split the class
into groups and gave us two weeks to complete a website in Flash. Because no one
else knew how to program, I had to do all of the coding in ActionScript 3.0 by
myself. For two weeks straight, I
did nothing but code that website during my free time, and all of my effort
showed when we made an A on the project.
When I am not working on school projects, a lot of my time is spent working for
my school newspaper, The Johnsonian.
As the Assistant Multimedia Editor, my duties are to upload new articles
to the website weekly. Alongside
the Multimedia Editor, I help promote our website using Facebook and Twitter and
help film videos to place on the website’s multimedia page.
My passion for programming, my hard work ethic, and my desire to learn new
technologies and skills makes me a prime contender for your internship.
I would love the opportunity to work for your company, and I look forward
to hearing from you in the future.
I can be contacted at nicholsk3@winthrop.edu or (864) 941-6873.
Sincerely,
Kaylee Nichols
