Example of a FORMAL email to request an internship
Subject: Computer engineering graduate—request for graduate
internship slot
Dear Ms. Rodriguez,
My name is Taylor Carter, and I just completed my computer engineering
program at Willsby University. While searching for a graduate internship,
I came across your page based on a recommendation from my course
advisor. It was exciting to find that not only are you an alumna of the
computer engineering department at Willsby University, but you were
also valedictorian of your class, a feat I’m honoured to have in common
with you.
Discovering that you’re the head of IT at CGD Computer Services piqued
my interest in a graduate internship at the firm. CGD is one of the most
prestigious computer engineering firms in the country.
I believe the fast-paced work environment and diverse talents can help
me grow as a professional.
Kindly find attached a copy of my resume and cover letter. I look forward
to hearing from you. You can contact me through this email address or
on my mobile number, 443-554-7786.
Thank you,
Amy Nguyen

[Tips on how to write the perfect CV]
1._______________________________
Avoid tired expressions such as passionate, hard-working and team
player. “It does depend on the type of job you do, but use descriptive
words that mean something,” says Ruth Cornish, an HR expert who
runs consultancy Amelore.com. She likes the word “accountable”, as
well as “achieve” and “purpose”. “What was the purpose of your role?
Why were you there?”
2.__________________________________
The key to a great CV is helping you stand out. You need to present
yourself well, but you also need to ensure the experience you are
communicating is relevant to the job,” says David D’Souza, the
membership director of the Chartered Institute of Personnel
and Development, the professional HR body.
3._____________________________________
Recruiters will judge you on mistakes, either in structure or in spelling
or punctuation. “Use auto-correct, but also get other people to check
for errors.
4.__________________________________
Be concise and don’t be afraid to delete experience if it’s not relevant
to that role,” says D’Souza. “People talk about the traditional two-page
limit, but it depends on the sector and the seniority you’re going for
but, broadly speaking, if you can keep it to two pages, the recruiter will
be delighted.
5.____________________________________
The look and feel – making it polished and professional – is important.
“What font have you used?” says Cornish. “Are there different fonts, and
bold here and there? No header? Think about the use of color.
You can really polish that document.”
53
A. Be relevant
B. Keep it short
C. Mind your language
D. Make sure it reflects you
E. Be accurate

ADVANTAGES OF CHAT GPT | DISADVANTAGES OF CHATGPT
This page covers advantages and disadvantages of ChatGPT
and its features.
WHAT IS CHATGPT?
Introduction:
A piece of software based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) which
simulates conversation or chat between user and itself is
known as chatbot. The ChatGPT is one of the applications of chatbot which
is designed on top of GPT-3. The GPT-3 is a very powerful language model
which makes use of machine learning algorithms to simulate
human-machine interface.
The ChatGPT is a variant of GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer). It was
developed by OpenAI. It uses a complex machine learning model. The ChatGPT
model has been developed using various tools and technologies such as
PyTorch, pretrained model, distributed training, data
augmentation and evaluation metrics.
In order to use ChatGPT, first user need to sign up at following website with
his/her email ID and password or using google or microsoft account.
https://chat.openai.com/
After user has signed up, following dashboard screen appears.
User can start interacting with the ChatGPT bot as shown in the box
provided.
ChatGPT replies to your query in the same screen and above the box
provided for query.
User can modify the query and pose it again and again till he/she
satisfies with the response from the ChatGPT. ChatGPT learns itself from the
past query and provides adequate response for future queries to the user.
68
CHATGPT INTERACTIVE SCREEN
Following are the features of ChatGPT.
•It understands the overall context of the query or conversation and
generates specific responses which are relevant to the topic.
• It has the ability to learn from previous conversations and utilizes the
same to provide relevant responses to any future queries based on
learning.
• It continuously improves over time and becomes a more effective
chatbot.
• It can be used as a language learning tool.
• It can be used as a language translation tool.
BENEFITS OR ADVANTAGES OF CHATGPT
Following are the benefits or advantages of ChatGPT:
+ It provides specific responses to user queries.
+ It remembers the interactions that it had previously
with the user in the same prompt tree and utilizes it to
provide information surrounding those responses.
+ It allows users to have follow-up corrections until
he/she gets satisfied with the response.
+ It has been trained to decline in-appropriate requests.
which are yet to be trained on the model.
DRAWBACKS OR DISADVANTAGES OF CHATGPT
Following are the drawbacks or disadvantages of ChatGPT:
- It may generate incorrect information occasionally.
Hence validate response yourself specifically when it
involves calculations or formula or language related code examples
to specific queries such as MATLAB or python codes.
69
- It can be manipulated to violate the policies and restrictions that has
been enforced on it by using cleverly-thought responses.
- It has limited knowledge of latest technologies and events which are

THINGS EVERY
INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY
STUDENT
SHOULD KNOW
B
75
#9
There are a few things that every information technology
student needs to know as they prepare to take on a career
in the field. It’s never too early to start preparing for a career,
even during the first year or two of college. Information
technology is a rapidly evolving field that is constantly
changing and expanding into new areas of application.
This means that students and professionals need to adopt
a flexible attitude towards their craft so they can meet the
demands of an evolving industry.
These tips are just a few of the things students should keep in
mind as they ready themselves for entry into the workforce.
1. Don’t Be Afraid to Specialize
With dozens of available programming languages and
hundreds of specialized applications for information
technology skills, specialization is quickly becoming a
necessity. Focusing on a few specific areas during school
can only improve the prospects of qualifying for an open
position. Specializations don’t have to be gained through an
academic degree either, so don’t hesitate to explore new
ideas, techniques and knowledge on your own.
76
2. Social Skills Matter
Even if you spend most of your day planted in front of a
computer, almost all information technology jobs require some
amount of social and communication skills. Senior
positions can require as much management and organizational
prowess as anything else, so students should build these
abilities at school. Individuals seeking technical roles may
mostly work with other people who understand the subject
matter, but it’s still beneficial if they can translate that
information for non-experts as well. Critical thinking and
ability to work as a team are just a few examples of the types
of non-technical skills that IT experts should have.
3. Get Real Work Experience
Internships and other hands-on work experience is invaluable
when it comes time to apply for jobs. Employers expect to see
examples of your work, and usually prefer to see something
related to their field. Interning while still in school helps students
build their experience and figure out how they want to guide
their career. These experiences can also be great opportunities
to connect with potential employers and begin networking with
people in your chosen industry.
77
4. Take School Work Seriously
Even if you do enough to get a decent grade and placate
professors, you should never stop trying to improve.
Applying yourself to school projects by going above and
beyond not only hones your skills, it can also provide you
with potential samples to show to interviewers. Always
make the most out of every project and save the ones that
are high quality, because you may be able to get more use
out of them later.
5. Stay Informed on Industry Developments
There are massive developments, game-changing
innovations and new trends in the information technology
industry on a regular basis, so if you stand still too long you
will fall behind. Students and professionals alike should
keep themselves current on the latest developments in
their field. It’s also important to recognize shifts in the
market, like the recent rise of mobile applications, so you
can add valuable skills to your arsenal.
