Sample Interview Follow-up Letter courtesy of Nano:


Dear Mr. White,
I would like to express my deep interest in a potential internship that would benefit your company, as well as allow me to explore my interests in regards to a future career. Thank you very much for the opportunity to both discuss and explore this possibility. I found your solar technology to be very interesting, and I am excited to see how this will shape the future of energy.
During the tour I began to think about skills that I could bring to your company and fine tune throughout the internship. Thank you for challenging me to explore in depth about my motives and interests. It helped me consider applying my creative thinking and people skills to the business side of a company, rather than engineering. In the past couple days I have thought about this decision a lot and feel I would do well with business relations and sales because of my people skills, creative thinking, and motivation to do my best.
Therefore, I would like to request an internship with you on the business side of Bright Leaf, specifically in sales. My goals during the internship would be to learn about the marketing and sales process. By the end of the internship, I would like to set a goal to close a sale of my own.
Please consider my request and my attached resume. I have also attached a link to more information concerning internships at Animas High School.
Would you be available for a phone call next week to discuss next steps towards this internship?
Regards,
Nano Rodd
