College Graduate Cover Letter Example

Dear Head of Human Resources,

As a recent Bachelor of Information Systems graduate, I apply with enthusiasm for the entry-level IT Specialist role.

While completing my degree at the University of Houston (where I was among the Top 2% of students and President of the IT Society), I worked as an IT Analyst Intern at JW Technologies for 3 months. This was an incredibly competitive internship, with only 5 out of ~1,000 applications selected each year.

As a member of the highly-skilled Digital Measurement Strategy team, I was involved in tagging and tracking JW's portfolio of sites and apps. In particular, I collaborated on creating and refining audience measurement tools, tracking and interpreting analytics, and leveraging findings to further innovate JW's digital suite. I received a bonus at the end of my internship for developing and streamlining numerous tools.

I am now seeking a full-time IT Specialist opportunity with a company whose mission, values, and products are strongly aligned with my skills and areas of interest. After reviewing dozens of reviews about your company on sites such a Glassdoor, as well as speaking with a family member who works there (John Allen), I am convinced that I could make a positive impact at YUR Digital.

Please find attached my resume for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours with enthusiasm,

Anita Danneberg
