Cover Letter for MBA Job
Non-profit sectors can be described as organizations or institutions that do not fall into the government or business categories. The owners or shareholders of these organizations are not issued stock shares of surplus funds but the profits are used to achieve future goals of the organization. The organization does works to attain profits and they can be more accurately termed as not-for-profit organizations. Applying for a non-profit organization involves a keen interest to work in this field. Candidates need to work keeping in mind the organization’s mission and what it plans to achieve in the near future. Details of the company’s budget and the size of the staff would give an idea of the structure of the organization for the candidate to work as per the set rules and guidelines.
While drafting a non-profit cover letter, candidates need to have a proper research of the organization they are applying for. The type of job and the responsibilities that need to be undertaken should match with the candidate’s skills and qualifications. These skills and qualifications need to be highlighted in the letter which proves very effective to get the desired job. Candidates should also possess hands-on experience in working as a volunteer for fund raising organization. This would give them a clear picture of what the job demands.

Mr. Peter J. Tynan,
Founder & Managing Director
Juma Enterprise Center
2920 Kovar Road,
Auburn, MA 01501.
Dear Mr. Tynan,
I am a first-year MBA student at the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College and would like to be considered for a summer internship with Juma Ventures. I am excited to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector, and I believe that my management and strategic consulting experience has provided me with the set of skills that is necessary to be successful as a summer intern at Juma Ventures.
I developed a variety of skills during my four years at MBNA America, where I had the opportunity to work in four different departments and learn about several aspects of the financial services business. As a call-center manager, I developed and implemented creative ways to motivate a team of people to exceed performance benchmarks. As an internal consultant, I further developed my analytical skills by working on a variety of projects that covered operations, marketing, strategic planning and organizational design. I believe that these experiences and my passion for the nonprofit sector make me a strong candidate for an internship with Juma Ventures.
The classes I took at Colby as a sociology minor helped spark my interest in the nonprofit sector. Since graduation, I have been involved in organizing community service outings, running fund raisers, and volunteering with various organizations. I would value the opportunity to assist the Juma Ventures Enterprise Center in its effort to launch new businesses so it can increase the social impact it has in the San Francisco area.
I am very interested in pursuing a summer internship with Juma Ventures and I am confident that my experiences will enable me to make an immediate and positive impact. I hope I have the opportunity to speak with you about my experiences and interests. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Carlton R. Amos.
