Mr Bryan,

Brandcore Pte Ltd Pandan Loop, Pantech Business Hub,

Singapore

Dear Mr Bryan,

I am a second year student of the NUS pursuing a Degree in Computer Engineering. After reading your internship advertisement on InternSg.com and the fact that I have a keen interest towards social media branding, I am interested in your Content Development Intern position.  My strong work ethic and solid teamwork skills make me a good match for the Brandcore staff team.

Last summer ,I worked with my High school to organize its Inter –school cultural competition titled ‘AGNEE’ and I was in charge in designing the logo for the competition which appealed the audience to a great extent .I also was in charge of ‘Events promotion’ as well as ‘publicity management’ for  the competition and so I had to deal with various companies  in order to get sponsorships .In the end we managed to get sponsorships worth 10000 SGD.I trust that ,the experience I gained from this work will enable me to be all the more productive  in the ‘Brand Activation and Engagement’ aspects which the  Brandcore organization will have to deal with.

As a Marketing Executive of the NUS Indian Instrumental Ensemble, I had to work with a team of 10 members for the concert held by 'IIE' during the 'NUS Arts Festival' wherein I was in charge of 'Brand Communications and sponsorship' and in the end we were instrumental in  generating a revenue of 30000 SGD through marketing and logistics.Thus,I believe that I will be best suited in creating new brand strategies and making improvements on the content development for brands.

 I believe my responsible approach to work in this field makes me a good match for the Brandcore staff and a strong candidate for the Content Development Intern in the Brandcore organization. I am extremely passionate and motivated about my work, and I enjoy learning and working in an environment which involves high levels of creative thinking and passion. I bring unbound enthusiasm that is sure to liven up the workplace.

I am looking forward to meeting you about the Content Development Intern position. I am sure that my strong work ethics and creative skills can help Brandcore maintain a high level of service. If you have any questions, please call me at +6598914652. For your reference, I have included my resume. Thank you for taking the time to review my documents.

Yours sincerely,

Sai Charan Mahadevan

Interpersonal conflicts-The toughest of all conflicts

During the first year of my college life,Singapore and its lifestyle were very new to me.I had always felt uncomfortable dealing with anyone other than my friends from high school who had come along with me to Singapore. Moreover, all my school friend's parents had escorted them in order to help them settle here but that had not been the case for me and so I was quite homesick as well. Despite all this, I managed to make a lot of friends here and one of them was  a girl called Teresa. She had also come from a similar family background as mine and  had come to Singapore on her own  as well but she never felt homesick at all .Even today , I feel that I  am indebted to her for  helping me settle down in NUS and deal with all the problems I had faced in the first few weeks here .Moreover,she had always been there to support me whenever I was under pressure to do some work or simply if  I was emotionally down.Furthermore, since we were doing the same course and our timetables were quite similar, I had ended up spending most of my time with her.As a result of this, I had invariably become close with her .On the other hand , I had distanced myself from the rest of my friends as they never like the fact that I was perpetually hanging out with a girl whom they felt was very egoistic , always did what was most suitable for her  and never cared to help others  .Despite all the negative thoughts everyone had of her , I still sided with her as she was the complete opposite to what they had described her to be.

However, when I returned back to Singapore in the second semester,  the scene here was completely different. She was not that amused to meet me after the holidays and to add to this, her attitude had completely changed .She had become the person my school friends had described earlier. Furthermore, she had become an anti-social element and hardly mingled with anyone unless it was a necessity.

At first ,I thought she had simply become busy with her work , but she was pretty good with academics and that she would get high grades even if she did not put in that much effort ,so I doubt that would have been an excuse for her change in behavior towards me.I had also thought that she probably had a family problem of sorts but I really could not be sure as  she never really gave me the opportunity to ask her why she had changed so much.

My other friends had told me to accept her as she was and that I should stop worrying about her as she had not taken any effort to change, but for me it was not easy to accept that fact because she had been a very close friend .Moreover,it had become very difficult to fill the void she had created . 

As of today , the  situation is that we hardly talk to each other and now I know for a fact that things will never be the same again .Nevertheless, I would like to know in your opinion as to how I can improve my relationship  with her .
