Dear Buffy,
I have applied for internships with several organizations how can go about securing an internship with any sports organization this summer. Please give me any advice that you may have. I have enclosed my resume and if you like to read my cover letter I will be more than willing to forward it to you.
Sincerely,Wanting to be part of sports this summer
Dear Wanting,
In reviewing your resume, I wouldn't make the most prominent job on your background the fact that you were involved in the shipping department of a food store. Have you ever participated in sports? Can you list that? Have you helped with a local recreational sports facility? Minor league teams? What are you good at other than sorting and shipping packages? Make your resume a bit more compelling how your salesmanship skills, attention to detail, proper writing skills make you more qualified than someone who has gone to school majoring in sports marketing or has had other sports marketing internships.
