Please look at my letter of motivation

Dear reader

I would like to write a letter of motivation for an internship abroad. Since English is not my mother tongue, I would be very pleased, if somebody could correct it. The letter of motivation is not intended for a particular company.

Best regards

Letter of Motivation

Dear Sir or Madam

I am a 3th year psychological student at the university of Zurich. In June 2009, I am going to finish my bachelor degree. For afterwards, I am looking for an interesting and challenging internship, because I would like to gain more work experience and apply the skills I gained in university. In my major I acquired basic psychological knowledge as well as statistical and methodological skills. Additionally, I have funded business economics knowledge since I studied it as a minor.

An internship abroad is especially interesting, because it would gave me the opportunity to broaden my horizon and to practice my language skills. Three years ago, I was in a language school in New Zealand for nine months where I acquired very good English skills. At the end of this stay I passed the Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English. Beside that, I had there the opportunity to gain cross-cultural competence in a multicultural environment. I am convinced, that these are excellent prerequisites for an internship abroad.

In an internship and various student jobs I could already gain some work experience and at university I learned to be organized, self-disciplined and to work together with other students in teams. My style of work is conscientious, goal-oriented, responsible and I am able to motivate myself.

I am keen to be challenged and to learn new things and I am open-minded for new impressions and new people.

Thank you for considering this application.

Yours faithfully
