Mr. Steven Schmidt
Human Resources
XYZ Company
Omaha, NE 56789

Dear Mr. Schmidt:

I am an extrovert through and through. I find it energizing to work with other people, help other people, and be with other people. That’s why I decided to pursue a career in human resources, and I know that XYZ Company’s HR internship is a perfect fit for experience, skill set, and interests. As a junior majoring in human resources at University College, I am passionate about employee relations and talent development, from recruiting and onboarding to retention and benefits administration. As your intern, I’ll bring the following:

• Foundational knowledge. I have completed courses in business communications, marketing, and strategic human resource management, resulting in a 3.85 major GPA.
• Communication skills. As the professional development chair of University College’s SHRM Chapter, I develop and facilitate presentations on behalf of the organization.
• Leadership experience. This year, my classmates elected me as the junior representative for the college student government assembly, acting as a liaison between my class and University College staff. In this role, I founded the Free Meals Program, which provides free meals for students in need.

I can’t wait to embark on a career that allows me to contribute to XYZ Company’s rich culture of growth and engagement, while learning from a team of industry experts. My attached resume expands on my experience and skill set. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Carly Sherm
