【英文履歴書とカバーレターの重要性】
インターンといえども、企業側からしてみてればより“QUALIFIED”している
人材、即ち業務に適任であり会社にとって有益と思われる人材を厳選して採用
するのは当然のことです。企業からしてみれば、数ヶ月のビザサポートの準備
期間を経て、様々な書類の準備と労力を費やしてまでもわざわざ外国(日本)
から英語を母国語としない人材を採用する、という以上、インターンを受け入れ
ることによって、企業にとっても何らかの利益が確保できなければならない、
ということになります。そこで、インターンとして受け入れてくれる企業を確保する
上で、まず最初に重要になるポイントが英文履歴書とカバーレターの作成です。

To Whom it May Concern:
The purpose of this letter is to recommend Ms. Mary Jones for employment as an office manager or related position.
Mary possesses excellent office and administrative skills necessary to administer a project, while gaining the acceptance of other office personnel. The work she produces is on-time and accurate. This has made Mary a valuable part of our management team. During her employment with us, we have acquired a larger percentage of clientele. I believe her good business skills and pleasant personality have helped our business grow.
During the last three years Mary has worked her way from clerical worker to part of our management team. This is due primarily to her ability to quickly comprehend difficult tasks. Mary is unique individual with a positive attitude, who can accept responsibility to complete a project with little oversight or direction. Her excellent secretarial skills and office administration skills make her a valuable asset. I would highly recommend her to any company seeking these qualities in an individual.
Sincerely,
Kent Watefall
