To whom it may concern,

I am writing to apply for the Human Resources Internship at your office. Your need for a Human
Resources intern is an excellent match for my experience as a communication student. You and
your office do a tremendous amount for the people of central Illinois and I would like to be a part
of it.
My education in Organizational & Leadership Communication has given me the knowledge and
understanding to thrive in the workplace. I believe I have the multi-tasking and communication
skills that are necessary to work for your office. Since attending Illinois State University, I have
participated in numerous volunteer experiences which have allowed me to communicate and
work collaboratively with people from a variety of different backgrounds and ages.
Along with my volunteering experience, I am also a member of the University Program Board
and serve on the Marketing and Leadership Committee here at Illinois State. Being a part of an
organization that runs student events on campus has not only taught me how to effectively work
in groups, but to take the initiative when it comes to decision making. As an outside member of
the executive board, I have a long track record of providing advice and assistance on policies,
procedures and event ideas to both junior and senior board members.
Thank you for considering me as a candidate for this position. I have attached a copy of my
resume which will give you additional information about my work experiences along with my
educational background in Organizational & Leadership Communication. I look forward to
hearing from you in the near future.

Sincerely,

James Jockl
