-I am very excited to apply for a Software Development internship at Optiver.
-I think it would be great to be able to work and learn about the challenges faced by a multinational trading firm.
+I am very excited to apply for the Consulting Summer Vacationer Program at Deloitte.
+I think it would be great to be able to work and learn about the challenges faced by a multinational consulting firm.
-I am finishing my Bachelor of Science in 2020 at the University of Melbourne, majoring in Electrical Systems.
-There, I am also completing a Concurrent Diploma of Computing.
-I intend to continue with my education with a Masters of Engineering in 2021.
-In these, I have been exposed to a wide range of problems which have presented me with the opportunities to develop my technical, interpersonal and communication skills which I hope should help with a placement at Optiver.
+I am a Master's of Electrical Engineering with Business student, finishing in 2022.
+I have completed my Bachelor of Science and Diploma of computing in 2020, also from the University of Melbourne.
+In these, I have been exposed to a wide range of problems and have been tasked with finding creative solutions within constrains, which I believe should help with a placement at Deloitte.
-I have experience programming in C and Java solving problems at systems and user levels.
-I have also some experience with programming hardware in Verilog and VHDL.
-I have also played with various open server and enterprise level technologies in my own time, particularly virtualisation and containerisation.
-I have found my academic and personal experiences useful in employment, where I develop embedded systems.
-I hope to be able to further my understanding of performance constrained computing through an internship with Optiver.
+In addition to technical skills from university, I am used to working within teams on technical challenges, both at university and in the outside workspace.
+Often these challenges have required me to coordinate with my teammates to research new information and work towards a solution to the task at hand.
+I have found that a technical background and communication training has enabled me to approach problems from an unconventional position, often providing novel solutions.
+Additionally, I have found myself increasingly interested in the decisions made by large organisations, playing out what I would have done and trying to predict the outcomes.
-I believe that a position with Optiver would offer some fantastic opportunities I would be unable to experience anywhere else.
-The constraints faced from algorithmic trading fascinate me, particularly due to the emphasis placed on, and potential gain from, marginal improvements in performance.
+I believe that a position with Deloitte would offer me some fantastic opportunities I would be unable to experience anywhere else.
+The size, scale and influence of Deloitte amazes and inspires me, due to its reach and potential for impact on the world.
+Being one of the ``Big 4'' accounting firms, its reach is unparalleled and has the potential to direct the course of global economics.
+This provides the firm and those working within the ability to direct the world and make a real difference.
+It is for this ability that I want to intern with you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
