A short, specific internship cover letter that tells the recruiter who you are, when you're available and why you'd be useful from your first week.
Every intern applicant says they're eager to learn. Prove it with what you've already done on your own: a club project, a competition, an online course or a model you built. These show initiative far better than any adjective.
Then connect it to the company. Mention something real about their work - a sector they focus on, a product or a recent launch - and say what you hope to learn there.
Recruiters planning an internship batch need to know when you're available. State your dates or duration in the first paragraph, along with whether you can work on-site, hybrid or remotely.
Keep the whole letter under 300 words. When you apply through an internship portal, the same letter can be cut down into the 'why should we hire you' answer.
Write about your coursework, projects, competitions, college societies and online courses. Pick the ones closest to the internship and explain what you did and what you learnt.
Yes, if you can find the hiring manager's or recruiter's name on LinkedIn or the company website. Otherwise 'Dear Hiring Manager' is perfectly acceptable.
