Dear Ms. Crow:
I am writing to apply for the summer internship program with the Congressional Research Service. I found out about the internship position on the CRS website. I would like to be considered for an internship in the International and European Security Issues program or the Foreign Policy and Defense Issues program. I feel that my knowledge of international affairs, my experience on Capitol Hill, and my interpersonal skills make me a strong candidate for any position.
I am a rising senior Political Science major and Spanish minor at the University of Virginia. My class schedules have included courses in international relations, American politics, and economics. I have worked at a Washington lobbying firm where my duties included attending Congressional hearings and writing concise reports on the proceedings, as well as interacting with Congressional staff and business leaders. My main interest lies in United States foreign policy, and I feel that my class schedule and employment experiences have helped me to become knowledgeable in these areas.
Upon graduating from the University of Virginia in May 2007, I am considering either a career in Foreign Service or American politics, and I believe that an internship at the Congressional Research Service will provide me a springboard for future work in the field. I should be considered for the summer internship position because I am experienced with government work, I have studied foreign affairs for three years, and my interpersonal skills and ability to learn quickly would be an asset to any employer.
I would be available for an internship position from May 2007 through August 2007. Please let me know if you require further information. Thank you for reviewing my resume.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Thomas
