Dear Ms. Lamy:
It was with great enthusiasm that I viewed the Editorial Assistant Internship that was posted on
The Atlantic Online. Currently, a junior majoring in English at Simmons College, my
background and skills make me a solid candidate for this position. My long-time interest in book
reviews has led me to read many of the reviews on your website and makes me eager to
contribute to your work at Boston Book Review
For the past two years, I have been an active member of Sidelines, a student run group that
recognizes and celebrates the creative work of Simmons students. My responsibilities with this
organization include selecting and editing written submissions and designing promotional
materials. In addition, this year I have worked as a Sales Associate for The Gap where I have
learned the importance of customer service skills and the value of working as part of a team.
The skills that I will bring to your Editorial Assistant Internship include excellent written and
verbal communication. Because of my proofreading and editing abilities, I am frequently asked
by classmates to review and edit their papers. These strengths combined with my coursework at
Simmons College and past work experience make me a good fit for this opportunity.
I look forward to meeting with you soon to learn more about the internship and to further discuss
my qualifications. During the week of April 18th, I will give you a call to set up a convenient
time when we could meet. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Anne Robinson
