I recently heard about this exciting opportunity from Education Relations Specialist Frank Hatten while participating in a university-sponsored externship to the local Boeing facilities. After meeting various team members at Boeing, I was impressed with the company’s commitment to professional support and development, and I could easily envision myself growing within your organization.

2nd Paragraph Example:

I understand that in order to be effective as a financial operations intern, I must be well-versed in financial management. As a junior currently working toward a double major in International Business and Finance, I have developed extensive experience in managing budgets and schedules. I am a member of the Darla Moore School of Business finance scholars program, which is a competitive program that requires demanding coursework, professional development, and extracurricular activity. In this role, I have attended a finance boot camp, participated in case competitions, and helped manage an $8000 equity portfolio. In addition, I’ve gained experience to help me prepare for a global workplace through my position as Vice President of the Global Business Council. In this role, I have focused on hosting panel events discussing diverse international perspectives in business and providing various professional development workshops. I believe my skills gained from these experiences, combined with my minor in French, greatly enhance my ability to work with a global organization such as Boeing. Final Paragraph:  Reiterate and highlight your purpose, strengths, and why you want to work for this particular employee As a finance major with substantial experience in managing budgets, I believe I would be a perfect fit for this opportunity and I look forward to speaking with you regarding the position of financial operations intern. My time in meeting and interacting with your team has reinforced my interest in working for the Boeing team, and I would very much appreciate the opportunity to join your organization. Thank you for your time and consideration...
