Dear Hiring Manager,

I am really excited apply for Cybersecurity Analyst Intern at National Life Group. My cybersecurity journey start when I saw people lose access to accounts, get hacked, and feel helpless. I didn’t want that happen to me, or anyone. That is when I start learning.

I study Computer Science at South Seattle College. Next year I go UW Tacoma for Cybersecurity major. I like hands-on learning more than just reading. So I do many TryHackMe labs. Blue Team labs, SIEM challenges, reading logs, incident response, basic SOC workflows. It feel real, like real job training.

Also I work at Amazon. I monitor scanner alerts, fix errors fast, and report problems. It teach me how to stay calm and focus on small details. I think this is same skill for cybersecurity one small thing can matter a lot.

This internship is perfect chance for me. I want to learn more, level up, and also contribute something real. I'm impressed by the slogan that National Life Group is “Do good. Be good. Make good.” I want to be part of your team.

Thank you for reading my letter. I hope I can join your team and learn a lot.

Sincerely,
Minh Hoang

This assignment help me a lot. I never write resume and cover letter specific for one job before. Now I learn how important it is.

Sometimes my grammar not perfect, but I try make meaning clear. I think real writing is more honest.

I learn how to match my skills to internship. Before I only write “Java, Python, Cybersecurity.” But now I explain how I learn: TryHackMe labs, coding projects, working at Amazon with systems.

Peer review also help. They say I should add more detail how I should improve my resume. So I list more detail about where I learned or trained. It makes my resume better.

The most important is: now I feel more confident. I can write better. I can apply for real internship. This project is good step for my future in cybersecurity.
