Hi,
I am a french student and I have to send a cover letter to google but I'm not sure if this letter is correct or not.Please read it and tell me what is wrong:
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am a young graduate of BA degree,I studied Maths and Finance and I started looking for an internship a few days ago to apply my academic knowledge in practice.While searching the internet using your search engine I was focusing on two criterions:to find a job in the Software sector and based in the Middle-East.The most dynamic sector in one of the most dynamic regions.It did not take me too much time to find your ad and as soon as I found it I decided to apply for the job.
I have studied Maths,Economics and Management in one of the most prestigious French universities .You are looking for a motivated,sharp-minded and fast thinking intern and I have all of these features.Maths brought me a real mental structure and strong analytical and logical skills allowing me to analyse a critical situation quickly enough to deduce an interpretation from it and then find the attitude to adopt while Economics and Management learned me the working of enterprise .
By being a tutor for highschool students I enhanced my ability to communicate and explain one concept by various ways depending on each person’s level of understanding. I could thus easily present and explain to both Sales team and clients the marketing plans and analysis I provide them with.
I have known and used Google products now for almost ten years, since I got my first computer and I kept up with their evolution with a great interest. In my opinion,Google Inc. is one of the most visionary,forward-looking companies,always imagining and conceiving new concepts and products before any other company (Google Earth,Google Instant,iGoogle,Adsense for example) and I think that I share this vision and these qualities and it would be a very exciting experience for me to join this aventure.
Moreover,the Middle-East sector has attracted me for many years now,it is a very dynamic region,in constant evolution,mixing occidental and oriental cultures,just like me.I traveled many times in Israel,Jordan and Qatar and I know the local cultures,ethical principles and expectations,consequently I could be the perfect candidate to help Google Sales team establish long-lasting and productive links with the clients in Dubaï.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if further information is needed or if you want to discuss with me any other way I could take part in Google’s projects.I will contact you in a week to be informed of your decision.Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
