Dear Ms. LastName,

I am interested in applying for the scientific research summer internship position that was listed
through the Name University Career Services Office.

I have had a great deal of laboratory experience in chemistry, biology, and geology, both indoors and
in the field. In the lab, I have performed chemical reactions and I am currently using microscopes to
observe many specimens. In environmental field studies, I have conducted outdoor labs to assess
water chemistry.

Last summer, I worked as conservation assistant at Clumber National Park. I am seeking to

complement this outdoor experience with a research internship in order to acquire the background
necessary for a future career in scientific research.

I believe that I would an asset to your program. This internship would provide me with the ideal
opportunity to assist at your organization and to expand my research skills.
I will call next week to see if you agree that my qualifications seem to be a match for the position. If
so, I hope to schedule an interview at a mutually convenient time. I look forward to speaking with
you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Signature

internship will have much in common with the employment resume. The standard chronological
resume includes the following:

 Identifying information (name, address, telephone, e-mail address)

 Objective statement (one line that gives your immediate goal);
 Education (name, city, and state of all degree- or diploma-granting institutions, plus your
major, minor, and concentration.
 Relevant course work
 Experience (job title, company, city, state, and dates of employment, plus a description of
your tasks and accomplishments using significant action verbs and key nouns.
 Activities
 Skills

Your internship resume will resemble the chronological employment resume with a few modifications:

 Write an objective statement that includes the word "internship" and your field of interest. For
example: "Internship in human resources," or "Internship in financial services." You don't want
a hiring manager to confuse your goal with that of a job seeker.
 Provide detail about your academic background, including relevant courses, GPA, honors,
scholarships, etc. to indicate you are a quick learner and can effectively assimilate
information. Include high school information, if helpful. Employment resumes usually eliminate
high school activities, and tend to minimize or reposition detail about academic experiences.
 Include dates for education and experience, including your projected date of college
graduation. Use academic units of time to pinpoint your dates: for example, Summer, 2004
rather than 6/03-8/03 or Fall, 2004 rather than 9/2004-12/2004.
 Include detailed information about activities: volunteer work, research, and leadership. It's
permissible to describe relevant high school activities.
 List all jobs held, although they probably do not relate to your career goals. You will be
communicating a strong work ethic, and you will be demonstrating some skills and
accomplishments. You need your first internship to get you started with career related
experience; you can't be expected to have it in the first place! Your employment resume will
probably highlight your relevant experience and downplay or eliminate "survival" jobs.
 Identify your skill set. Put yourself in the internship manager's place; what skills do you think
she would like to see in an intern? Computer skills? Foreign language? Organizational? Ability
to coordinate? Research? Artistic accomplishments? Try to match your skills with those
needed. (Don't forget to ask a counselor in your career services center to help you pinpoint
these skills.)
 Limit your resume to one page. While it is sometimes permissible for the employment resume
to run to two pages, the internship resume should be streamlined.
