Essay & Composition Writing
Cover letter
Hello, I have already posted this letter before but it hasn't caught anyone's interest.
I would be really grateful if someone could help me with the grammar. It'a a spontaneous application for a design research position. Thanks!!
Dear xxx,
my name is xx. I am from Barcelona and not long graduated from a Master's in Product and Space Design from xx. I am writing to enquire about futures possibilities in your branch in xx.
I believe design is a key factor to promote innovation and redefine the way we consume. During the last few years, I have been developing my understanding in the research process of design. My experience taught me that working actively with user groups through observation and empathy ensures more successful outcomes. Therefore, I understand the design as a collaboration between people from different backgrounds, such as local communities, stakeholders and other experts.
Following this, I would be very keen on learning further how to apply user-centered mindset and how to use design research tools to develop innovative projects. My interests in design include research and concept generation. Since I have little experience on this field, I would like to apply for an internship on a design research position in xx. I am sure this is a good opportunity for me to increase my knowledge and improve my skills.
I am confident I could contribute to your projects by bringing my energy, rigour and eye for details. I am a dynamic team worker, an emphatic person and a creative problem solver with strong graphical skills.
Do not hesitate to contact me for more information about my profile or portfolio. I would be happy to meet you for an interview and discuss my application further.
Yours faithfully,

What's a design consultancy? What does it do? Is it a business?
Do you want to be an intern? Is it a job that you will get paid for?

It's a company that helps other companies to be more innovative through design; designing new products, services... They usually use a method called design thinking as a process for problem-solving.
I don't want to be an intern but I think I don't have enough experience and I have more chances if I ask for an internship.

Here are a few more thoughts.
Is it common for people with a Master's in your field to apply for an internship?
Your letter seems to me to be mainly about you and your needs. But employers tend to be interested in 'How can this person help we with my business needs and problems?

Maybe you are right, it's not common to ask for an internship if you have a Master.
What I am trying to do is to show what is design for me. Because I think the way they approach design is similar than mine.
Yes I will, and also my porfolio with some projects.
