Dear Hiring Manager,

My name is Iqra Qumar and I am a first year Computer Science student at City College of New York. I found your Information Technology Internship posting on indeed.com. I believe it is so incredible that you are helping to treat cancer because cancer is a major leading cause of death in the United States. Being able to help with that would be phenomenal and a life-changing experience. I believe you should hire me because I am curious about learning more regarding IT, hardworking and open to new challenges.

Coding and Computer Science has always fascinated me because of how complicated it seems with just a glance. This is what has driven my curiosity to learn about IT, which involves coding and the such. In my school years, I learned low-level programs and that only further pushed me to pursue Computer Science. I am hardworking in the sense that I do not quit working on a project until I figure it out. I like the challenge of new things and this can be seen with the past projects that I have worked on. I have created puzzles, a maze, and even a trivia game show. I am willing to work with others to help get through these challenges as you mentioned that we should be able to work collaboratively.

I believe I could be a good candidate for the position due to my interest in IT and challenges. You can refer to the resume that I have attached for further information about me and my experiences. I would like to meet with you so please feel free to email me at iqumar000@citymail.cuny.edu or call me at (646) 156-1317.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to hear from you soon.

 

Sincerely,

Iqra Qumar
