Cover letter for internship - Tips?
polycounter lvl 4
I've been looking for a good place to post this thread and I'm hoping the general discussion forum could be a suitable spot
I'm about to start my second year in game art at Playground Squad in Sweden, it's a 2 year course, and as an integral part of it we apply for a 6 month internship by the end of the year, we get to choose the companies we apply to. For this we need to compose a cover letter, a CV and a portfolio. Pretty much like when you apply for a job.
Does anyone have any tips for how to write a good cover letter for an internship for this specific field?
In the entire art area I mostly work with characters (designing, illustrating, modeling etc) and would like to be a character artist eventually- is that something I should mention? Should I let my portfolio speak mostly for me?
I'm pretty lost and would love to hear if anyone could give me some tips on how to put a decent cover letter for this particular area together ;;
