Application Letter

The Energy Market Authority (EMA) internship is a great avenue for outstanding students to get a glimpse into a unique organization, dealing not just with the operations and security of energy distribution in Singapore but also the regulation and development of the entire energy industry.

As an intern at EMA, you will be assigned real work dealing with challenging issues and guided by experienced EMA officers. We offer projects in many functional areas, ranging from market regulation and operations to energy development and corporate support.

Through this internship of four to eight weeks, you will gain a better understanding of not just EMA but also the whole energy sector. You will build valuable work experience, skills and knowledge, and gain a head start in your preparation for a future career. Who knows, your work here might just change the future of the energy landscape in Singapore.

If you have a strong interest in pursuing a career in the energy sector and are keen to take up the challenge, seize this opportunity to have a taste of what it’s like to work with us. Send in your CV with detailed transcripts and educational certificates to ema_hr@ema.gov.sg, stating “Internship” in the subject line.

To whom it may concern:

I hope you will consider me for the internship position that is offered by Energy Market Authority (EMA) as advertised on its website.

I am particularly excited at the opportunity to work with EMA as it enables me to be in the thick of the action in Singapore’s pursuit to meet the huge energy demands in the country. I am very passionate about sustainable energy and I am really keen to be part of EMA’s mission to continuously improve upon our present energy systems and work towards the ideal “smart energy” model. I actually did a project researching on alternative sources of energy and my group concluded that tapping the Sun’s energy through satellites and laser transmission is actually possible. However, it will be very interesting to find out for myself its feasibility in practical situations with EMA.

I managed to delve further into my interest in sustainable energy through an eye-opening internship with Renewable Energy Corporation. They produce solar panels and I got an insight into some of the problems they face which enlightened me as to how the local energy infrastructure has exciting challenges ahead!

I also managed to hone some of my soft skills during my internship such as effective inter-personal skills having to liaise and negotiate with external vendors to change the lighting infrastructure for a part of the factory. I also picked up some very valuable analytical and systemic way of thinking as I worked with engineers trying to solve the day-to-day problems. The rigours of my coursework at NUS in Electrical Engineering have also instilled in me healthy time-management habits and together, I believe I have the skill sets to thrive in a competitive working environment and facilitate my learning process anywhere I go. I consider the possibility of doing an internship at EMA as an excellent opportunity to develop my management skills and pursue our common interest for a greener and sustainable Singapore.

Please find my CV enclosed. If you would like to talk to me or schedule an interview, please contact me at 9******* or email me at abcd@nus.com. I am looking forward to hear a positive response from you. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Nasiruddin.
