Dear Mr.

We had the opportunity to speak at the Deloitte information session held for the Association for Information Systems (AIS) at Temple University, and I would like to express my interest in becoming a Federal Business Technology Analyst Summer Scholar Intern. Based upon your intern selection criteria, my technological aptitude, my analytical thinking skills, and my leadership abilities make me a perfect fit for this opportunity and your company.

My technological aptitude can be measured through my knowledge of coding languages, my web development experience, and my knowledge of hardware and operating systems. I currently know three coding languages: HTML, C++, and C#, and I am in the process of learning PHP. I also have web-development experience from creating my current e-portfolio and coordinating with the former VP of IT in AIS to create the current AIS website. While at SAP, I learned about the hardware components of IBM, Sun, HP, and Dell servers, and utilized Linux, Unix, and Windows OS. My current technological skills fit well with the requirements of a BTA Summer Scholar Intern.

My analytical thinking skills were put to the test during a functional mailbox, group mailbox, improvement project when I was a business IS intern at Dow Chemical. I was assigned a project to provide recommendations for improvement on the functional mailbox provisioning process. In order to do this I completed in depth analysis of the current system by completing the creation process myself, checking for inconsistencies, and interviewing owners and users of functional mailboxes. At the end of my analysis I was able to provide over 30 value-added suggestions from small changes in formatting, to more complex solutions such as restructuring the help-documentation to fit the users’ needs. My experience with the functional mailbox improvement process demonstrates my analytical thinking skills, skills that make me a great fit for the position of a BTA Summer Scholar intern.

I also demonstrate leadership abilities, which is a key characteristic of any BTA Summer Scholar intern. I led a team of four Temple University students, in conjunction with Merck in creating an application to identify pills using photo recognition software. During this process I set goals for my team, designated roles and responsibilities, and defined what was expected of every group member to make this project a success. Despite tight deadlines and busy schedules, my team produced a working design prototype of the application. My demonstrated leadership abilities throughout the creation of this application align with the characteristics required of a BTA Summer Scholar intern.

My technological aptitude, my analytical thinking skills, and my leadership abilities are a perfect match for the position based upon the job selection criteria. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you further about this position, and would like to arrange an interview for this position at your convenience. Please feel free to call my cell-phone at 610-909-9724 if you have any questions about me or my qualifications. Thank you for taking the time to consider me for this position, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
