Sample cover letter for Internship position at EY

POSITION:
Performance improvement

I am interested in an internship with OC&C Strategy Consultants and heard about your
company’s recruitment through your website. I am currently a penultimate year student
pursuing a degree in Economics at the University of Exeter.

Strategy consulting interests me because few other professions provide the exposure to
such an array of industries. Working in strategy consulting will provide me with the
opportunity to work with the highest level of management to analyse their most complex
problems. The working culture at OC&C Strategy Consultants was one factor that
attracted it to me. Having an atmosphere that is relaxed but focused combined with an
analytical and creative approach to solving problems is something few other
consultancies can offer. Furthermore, the smaller team sizes result in greater exposure
and development opportunities early on. This combined with the tailored training
programmes available reflects an unwavering commitment to helping your consultants
grow. Such factors were important to me when choosing a company to join at this stage
in my life.

I feel my skills and character align myself with your company’s values, making me a
suitable candidate for the position. During my internship with [company], my role
involved working overseas offices to carry out transactions. Through working with
employees in different countries, I was able to develop my teamwork and interpersonal
skills. Additionally, serving as a Platoon Sergeant in the army has improved my
analytical skills and perseverance. For example, developing a modified training regime,
which increased the weight loss of my obese men by over 10%. Furthermore, juggling
my academic, sporting and various committee positions has involved managing my time
efficiently throughout university, a skill I believe crucial to take to a career at your
company.

Enclosed is a copy of my CV for your review. I would welcome the opportunity to

discuss in more detail as to how I can contribute to OC&C Strategy Consultants. Thank
you in advance for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,
