Writing an email for an internship

[codebyshay]

Learning Objectives

• Write an email applying for a fictional internship

Why are we doing this?

The first stage in applying for any job will be writing to someone at the company to introduce yourself and explain why you are a good fit for the role. This assignment will give you an opportunity to practice writing in this way.

Draft an email to apply for an engineering internship at a fictional company called Vonda. Make sure to include the five things below:

1. Why you want to become a software developer
2. Your background and your past
3. What you are doing at the moment
4. Where you see yourself in the future
5. Why Vonda should give you the opportunity to do an internship

The email should be formatted in a way that is ready to be sent. Make sure you include a subject title and pay attention to the formatting (font type and size, alignment etc).
