Dear Coconuts Bangkok team:
With a keen interest in internship with one of the famous current news sites I, a junior English major at faculty of Arts at Chulalongkorn University, would like to apply for an internship at Coconuts Bangkok because admittedly, I am looking to pursue a career in journalism, and writing is one area in which I would be keen to gain experience. I also have a strong interest in the world that I live in and in current affairs. I, therefore, would like to experience the nature of working in your company.
The reason I choose to be an intern at Coconuts Bangkok is that I’m highly interested in current events both local and international. Thus, undertaking an internship with your company will enrich my knowledge in journalism and provide me real-life work experience in a professional environment. Although I have only studied one course in French journalistic writing, I’ve already taken two composition writing classes and two reading courses including Critical Reading Skills in the Department of English. These courses help improve my skeptical and critical thinking skills which I find very important for the journalistic field.
I will work hard and will always pay attention to details and do my best to reach your standard. Moreover, I'm also flexible, and eager to learn from others. During my last summer as a waitress at Café Du Monde, New Orleans, I dealt with all kinds of customers and also learned to cooperate with other workers as a team. I sincerely hope that you will consider me for this internship. I would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Wannakarn Opassatien
