Dear Ms. Oak:
Please accept this as a letter of interest in a summer internship
position at The Bergen Gazette. Prior to my senior year at The Colorado
College, I would like the opportunity to further develop and hone the
journalism skills I have acquired over the past three years. As a native
of Bergen, I would enjoy gaining this experience at the Gazette.
As the News Editor, and then Features Editor of the Catalyst, The
Colorado College’s weekly student newspaper, I have been able to develop
practical journalism knowledge. I have found the deadlines and
responsibilities associated with these positions challenging and
rewarding. During my term as a staff writer for the Catalyst, I acquired
hands-on interviewing and writing skills. By assuming the position of
Distribution Manager for Cutler Publications, I have experienced a side
of journalism indirectly related to the newsroom. Prior to attending
college, I was the Executive Editor of the Bergen Senior High School
newspaper, The Highwaymen.
In addition to my practical experiences, my minor in Journalism has
taught me the basic tenets of the trade. A supervised position on a
citywide publication will allow me to apply what I have learned thus far
in the field and in the classroom. My future plans include working for a
newspaper for several years before attending graduate school. A summer
internship at the Gazette would help round out my undergraduate
journalistic experiences.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I plan to arrive
in Bergen the first week in May. If I can provide you with any
additional information, please feel free to contact me at (719)
555-1111. I will look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Shannon Silvers
