Cover letter for an internship

Published by:  AmandaP

Can anyone please give me advice on how I should structure my cover letter for an internship position? I really want to apply for a Legal internship at a Law firm in Munich and I saw that part of the application is to write a cover letter. I have never written one before and I was hoping for some tips or even better some samples.

I’m curious about this too.

We had a class about this, I can share some tips that I learned there. You must write it good because this is your chance of showing them why they should choose you. Basically you need to include your key skills, your previous experience if you had any and your qualities. You need to use specific keywords bevause sometimes employers just quickly scan your application and move on. Check the job title and the company’s website for any clues on which words to use.

Thank you SandraB, but I don’t have any previous experience apart from working in retail and few months as a waitress :D

Doesn’t matter just focus on the experience and did you learned from it. You can also include some information about any extracurricular activities that you might have done
