Subject: IIM Summer Internship Program

Dear Madam,

I would like to work with Arthur D Little for my summer internship.

Charting the future course of action for reputed organizations to helping key decision makers address
significant challenges, consulting requires one to tackle a variety of issues. It encourages individuals to
address business issues strategically and make decisions in the best interest of the client. The variability
from one assignment to the other challenges one to learn continuously and master diverse areas of
business. Additionally, consulting promises an international experience with exposure to diverse
cultures and an opportunity to work with talented people from across the globe. For these reasons I
would like to pursue consulting as a career option.

Arthur D Little’s stress on ensuring that the clients’ interest is paramount and the initiative to get at the
heart of a problem and work around it clearly differentiates Arthur D Little from other consulting firms.
Moreover, stress on working with the client as a team enables Arthur D Little to identify the crux
problems with ease. A large investment in human capital & technology expertise makes Arthur D Little
stand out.

All through my career, I have worked passionately and excelled in my pursuits, academic or otherwise.
With a predilection towards analytical work, I chose to pursue engineering from the Indian Institute of
Technology, Kharagpur. My stint at IIT gave me an unprecedented opportunity for all round development.
Along with rigorous academics, I learned to work in teams and led many of them successfully.
Subsequently I worked with two reputed firms and thus got plentiful opportunity to observe business
issues and decision making. I especially enjoyed collaborating with clients in cross-functional teams
across the globe to achieve their goals and deliver effective solutions within challenging deadlines. A
focus on goals and commitment to work are the keys to success. By weaving this philosophy into teams
that I worked in, I successfully achieved team and organizational goals. I believe that these attributes
along with my educational and professional background build a strong case for me to pursue a career in
consulting with Arthur D Little.

Looking forward to working with the team at Arthur D Little.

Regards,

Parijat Banerjee
