To Whom It May Concern:

During my time at University of the Arts in London, I have been involved with many projects inside and outside of the college, getting a sense of the commitment needed to succeed in the fashion industry. Some of my goals after graduation are to complement my Fashion Design and Development major doing post-production, mixing and clothing design work with my Technical Effects for Performance major, developing new performance tools using computers and electronics. Also, as an effects technician I will be able to troubleshoot equipment and aesthetic issues. On campus, I have been involved with fellow students in film and theater sessions as a performer and designer promoting, producing and organizing the past two Latin Culture Celebrations and working at the Fashion department as an office assistant and currently as a tutor.

Although I have a very busy schedule and I am an active performer, my studies at University of the Arts are extremely important and my number one priority; I make sure I do my best on every class I take and my grades can show it. I have earned a place in the Dean’s List for three consecutive years with a cumulative GPA of 3.506.

This is only a part of all the things I have done and I believe that I am a strong candidate for the design internship. It would be a great support from the college to my career on and off campus and I look forward to keep putting at work all the knowledge I have gained at University of the Arts in the real world and hope I will be able to reattribute it in the future.

Sincerely yours,

Diego Perez Martinez

Submitting effective cover letters to your employer would definitely give you an advantage ahead of the personal meeting. Therefore, it is just necessary to make your cover letter be perfect as possible. Though there are no certain requirements on what you should strictly include on your cover letter or resume, you should always consider using correct grammar and spelling every time you write one. Most employers give first impressions on documents written by their applicants especially if the nature of work requires excellent communication skills.

There are certain ways that you may want to consider to make sure that your cover letter would have the quality that can impress the recipient. To check grammar of the cover letter or resume you have written conveniently, you should turn on the spelling and grammar check settings on your word processor. However, you should not mainly rely on the automatic settings. It is still best to double check your letter before printing it out or sending it to your employer online.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am Tyrone Chandler, a very dedicated student of journalism from Northern Arizona University. I have been devoted to the subject since first taking an introductory course in high school. I love to write and I love learning how to write more efficiently. I think that the communications classes I have taken at the university have taught me some of the most helpful skills and techniques I will ever learn.

Last academic year, I was the recipient of the Scripps News Editorial scholarship for $1,200. I am currently a writer for the Arts and Entertainment section of The Lumberjack. I have had the opportunity to write stories about upcoming NAU and community events such as Flagstaff’s monthly Movies on the Square and the NAU Theatre productions of “You’re A Good Man” and “Charlie Brown” among others. Writing for the publication has allowed me to put my education to work by applying it to real life journalism, which is not only fun and thrilling but an incredible opportunity.

In my career, I hope to prove my knowledge of communication based on my education while also harboring a desire for new knowledge based on my own experiences. I would love to be able to call myself a successful journalist, with a tool belt of knowledge and experience that I might be able to share with others. When I sit in my journalism classes and watch my instructors, seasoned journalists, relay the stories they worked on and the challenges and fortunes they met, I wish nothing more than to have some of my own stories to share.

Journalism is changing every minute; it has suddenly become so much more accessible, versatile and competitive in the past few years that it is intimidating but also incredibly exciting. My career could potentially contribute to altering journalism in important ways, which is exactly the effect I hope my career will have on my communication field.

Sincerely,

Tyrone Chandler

Brand Rabbit, Inc.

PO Box 745

Woodacre, California 94973

To whom it may concern:

I sit here in absolute awe as I stare at my computer screen. Could it be true – an internship position for a fashion website that requires you to look at fashion magazines for hours on end and catalog trends for the recent season and seasons to come? Wow, it is my dream come true – a position in which I can combine my love for fashion and my love for studying, organizing and interpreting data all in one! I knew I could not pass up the opportunity to apply for the position.

Let me start by saying that I am not what fashionistas call a “brand whore.” I wear all brands, if they are affordable and within my college student budget. The truth is I literally spend hours at Borders in Union Square every week or so looking at fashion magazines, jotting down notes about upcoming fashion trends and whatnots. When I get home, I go over my notes, Google the trends online and apply the information I required to my daily wardrobe as well as my friends’ and sometimes, family’s wardrobes. This is truly how I spend a lazy Sunday.

Although I cannot name any designers other than Robert Cavalli and Marc Jacobs, I believe my studious demeanor and my quick ability to learn will allow me to catch on to designer names and brands rather quickly. After all, when I am passionate about something, I put my all and more into it.

Living in a big metropolitan city like San Francisco, I know there must be tons of applicants vying for this internship. With that being said, I thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this cover letter of mine and hope you find that I might be able to fulfill the position Brand Rabbit is looking for.

Cheers,

Dana Jacobs
