Letters / Making a cover letter for summer internship in finance - someone with some experience? [25]


Okay I understand. The fact is that I have always had difficulty in making it by myself, and for that I'd like you to help me to make one that is valid for all summer internship in which I will participate.

In practice, i'm at first year of MSc in Finance of Italian University based in Milan.

From March 2014 to August 2014 - I had work in Tax and Corporate consulting for a internship and my role was: Legal and business advisory; administrative and accounting advice for clients.

From 2010 to 2014 - I wrote for a long time for a local newspaper also receiving the journalist card and my role was: "Elaboration of Economical and Political articles".

From 2010 to 2014 - I served as co-founder of a student association activities in university projects. This Students Organization that promotes training and meeting / matching between the academic and corporate worlds -Founding Member and Treasurer

2013 I have created a startup in t-shirt which I sold after a year, also gaining money from the sale and in 2014 I have also written a book on money laundering and corporate fraud .

The problem is that I can not connect all these experiences, I feel lost and do not know how to continue.
I would like to do a cover letter that gave interest in those who read it and let me above all to change the name of the company so to use it for various companies. The role that interests me to do the application is investment banking or finance.

Why i choose to do the application for this firm? (1st line) is one of the few companies in your area that can really truly forge talents. Or is i'm apply to...because One of the best banks is always present in the league tables.

The connection with the work experience that I have had and the summer internship for which I am making the application could connect it by saying that in my experience my company was interested in mergers & acquisitions, restructuring of debts of the company, capital increases, accounting etc. I worked in a team of 4-5 people with many companies also by large estates.

Not surprisingly, the investment banking is interested just in: financial advice on mergers and acquisitions, advising on the restructuring of the debt of the company and in the capital increases to include financial services such as project finance, fund management, the trading, asset management, brokering etc. I'd obviously also the part of trading, fund management etc.

Would you please give me a hand? thank you very much.

this part is wrong: As a sophomore majoring in English

Thank you to "Pedram" and in particular to "Vangiespen".

First question, for this part: "to work as an intern in your" is it the same things to say "work as internship"? or work as intern as different things?

I should also write a paragraph or a sentence explaining why I want to work in this society rather than in another? If yes, would fit what I wrote above, type because it is a company that forges the talents that is always present in the rankings of the best banks?

In this internship you do write a lot of reports, making economic analysis, analysis of companies, use excel, word, do pitch with Power Point.
So the experience of having written a book on money laundering and fraud in the company, has allowed me to improve my writing skills, increased ability to use office programs with analysis of statistical and perhaps more specifically you can say that it allowed me to address this issue with university professors specialized in combating money laundering and in particular helped me in preparing the book a top expert Italian and also a high official of the GDF (is US is like IRS - Internal Revenue Service but in Italy it is a police force, to understand more: you can find on Wikipedia "Guardia di finanza".

I do not know if this is an important thing in the book or not, that I do not know if these skills are good for a finance company, bank etc. And I do not know if there are other skills that I can write better or not ...

Finally, I read on a finance site that when you have an application as many requests, it is recommended to inquire about the name and surname of the H & R to write it in the header. And in particular, advised to write an email directly to this H & R to make sure that you remember before sending the application to have a better chance ... I do not know, what do you think?

And, if in case I do not find those who send it, how can I write the header? okay: To whom it may concern?

Thanks to all for the helping

1) in relation to workplace believe you can use for all companies who send a cover letter, financial and non-financial. I try to draft something like the work environment is challenging, competitive, merit-such as to develop the personal qualities especially relational individual leadership. Standard?

Dear Ms. Mikki:

I am writing in response to your advertisement which appeared in the JobGate platform of X University regarding the opportunity to work as an intern in your Debt Capital Markets Origination team.

I am very interested in seeking an internship with Cash Group. I possess a strong desire to explore a career in Investment Banking. I have worked as an intern in a consulting group since graduating. This internship helped me to develop resiliency and the ability to work under pressure. I have an uncanny ability for attention to details and the importance of working to achieve real goals. Additionally, my start-up "jobs" have taught me how to interact with a diverse group of people and I have developed vital entrepreneurial skills such as the ability to think innovatively and spot areas for development. As a published author of the book XXX, I came to polish my use of computer and financial software which is vital in the development of financial reports. Skills such as:

* economic analysis
* company analysis

I would appreciate the opportunity to meet in person to share more about my background and the skills I would bring to your company. If you need any additional information, please contact me at 3333333333, or @@@@. I look forward to the opportunity to interview with Cash Group.

Thank you for your consideration.

2) perhaps in relation to the book, I would not go much with bullet points to keep in an interview can make me fall on those points, because the analysis that I did have analysis normal, basically I collected data and have them evaluated, but I did not analysis in the first person. What do you think, just as we take away the experience?

3) Ultimately, it is a bit sparse on the company that I'm making the application? Whereas I would use it to various companies, always in the financial field, but not necessarily all in Investment Banking, who advise me to do? Now I do not really know what to write or add another ...

I should add some information about me like this: I am a quick learner, a hard working employee, and someone who always tries to view problems from different perspectives. ?

Thank you.

For example Goldman Sachs is a meritocracy built on the belief that collaboration, teamwork and integrity create the right environment for our people to deliver the best possible results for our clients.

Letters / Making a cover letter for summer internship in finance - someone with some experience? [25]

Yes, in fact I have already mentioned the book in my resume. I might also mention it in the cover letter, but I personally do not know what points I have improved insert besides the fact that I have clearly improved my knowledge of word etc. but they are things that I think that is almost normal as elementary knowledge ... Rather maybe I could say something else on the start-up that I did? A player in Serie A who lives in my town, I sponsored my brand. I know we can not write it? Or we can cite the association of students of which I was the founder with my friends but they are engineers, and that is particularly active in engineering?

Obviously these are all things already written in my resume. Finally, when I do the application for two open positions in the same company, type Finance or Investment Banking, I can write in the cover letter that are interested in both positions, or send two different cover letter changing the header with one of the two positions? I'd like to now get to complete and finalize the cover letter.

And, in relation to workplace believe you can use for all companies who send a cover letter, financial and non-financial. I try to draft something like the work environment is challenging, competitive, merit-such as to develop the personal qualities especially relational individual leadership. Standard? For example: "Goldman Sachs is a meritocracy built on the belief that collaboration, teamwork and integrity create the right environment for our people to deliver the best possible results for our clients". I have to write something like this or not??

Help me to make it perfect. Thanks again.

you know what you mean. but it could help you with something that we could enter, which surely will be fine? currently do not know what to change or modify. I feel lost ...

Letters / Making a cover letter for summer internship in finance - someone with some experience? [25]

I'm so sorry, but i make wrong to write that. I wanted to write, I understand what you mean... :-)

The cover letter is not overkill for me, but is too hard to do by myself :-(

Technically, to this cover letter what should I add or change in your opinion? What is missing?

Starting again from this, that I seemed to be on the right track. Advise me what to do...Thanks a lot

Letters / Making a cover letter for summer internship in finance - someone with some experience? [25]

Thanks a lot.

maybe I could add something to me in the second paragraph, to give more emphasis to the role that I have chosen for the application. like, as a child I was interested in the financial world and this has allowed me to analyze things deeply...

For example i found this guide on internet, how can use it for my cover letter?

The first paragraph should describe what your current professional situation is and why you are applying for the position. This paragraph should also include any research you have done into the role or organisation, including anyone you have spoken to, any site visits you have undertaken and the name of anyone who may have referred you. If you have taken the time to research the organisation and the role, this could be a key differentiator for your application. However, you should avoid making generic statements, such as "I want to join your esteemed company". Make sure anything you say about an organisation is relevant to them and based on the research you have undertaken.

And... Should i change "uncanny" with "strong"? Because i think that uncanny could be exaggerated?!

Last things: I would like to send my candidature to some companies that haven't open positions, how can I write in the email accompanying and how can I change the first part of the cover letter?

thanks again for the precious help!

Letters / Making a cover letter for summer internship in finance - someone with some experience? [25]

Ok. So ultimately I will use this cover letter if you tell me that it is perfect.

As for the self-application help me the same, because I want to try the same because I know a couple of financial institutions that do not have their own page carrers on their site, but I want to try the same:-D.

How can I write the cover letter to make this self-nomination? And how can I write in the mail when I accompany your CV and cover letter?

Many thanks as always.
