Dear Hiring Team,

My name is Mehir Kumar, and as you can see, I have chosen to deviate from the traditional cover
letter format. I wanted to add a personal touch, inspired by an article attached to the job posting on
Medium.com.

I am writing to express my interest in joining Hootsuite. I am currently a second-year, first-semester

student at Acadia University, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. My plan is to major
in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, with a minor in either Biology, Accountancy, or
Mathematics. I commenced my university studies in January 2023.

As outlined in my resume, I have six months of professional experience in the field. My passion lies in
software development and programming. This year marks my fourth year of coding, having started
my journey with Python before exploring other programming languages to find my preferred domain
within the field. I have undertaken numerous projects, with the major ones listed on my resume. A
notable project was developed during a summer 2023 internship in Dubai, where I created a
password management application using Python, with a tkinter-based front end and encryption via
the Fernet library. This project not only addressed a real-world problem but also significantly
contributed to my professional development.

I am eager to secure my first co-op term at Hootsuite, with aspirations of eventually joining the
company full-time. However, my immediate plans include spending this upcoming summer with my
family in Dubai, UAE, as it represents a precious opportunity to be with them. Despite this, I remain
fully open to remote work opportunities and am ready to contribute my best to any position offered
by Hootsuite.

I am keen to make professional connections and secure a work term at Hootsuite. I believe in the
value of personal touch in professional settings, a sentiment echoed in your article. I look forward to
the possibility of joining your team and contributing to the innovative work at Hootsuite.

Sincerely,

Mehir Kumar
