Hi,
There is a internship program that I am very much interested in. I have just finished my graduate degree and other than few training courses I don't have any experiences. Actually this is the first time I'm applying for any position. So any advice or tip is appreciated...
Here's the cover letter:
Greetings,
I am writing about the internship program offered by your company in your website (x.org/x/). I am particularly interested in the internship offered for IoT.
I am looking for an opportunity where I can pick up new skills that enrich my skill sets, skills that I am passionate about and possibly help me to build my career. I am a graduate of "X univ." in EEE. My final year project was a biometric security system using Speaker Recognition technology. It also used a MySQL database for data storing and a webpage for real-time monitoring of access logs. I also attended a 300 hours training course on Java under the "XYZ" program.
**I believe that I am a quick learner and normally I don't like to quit before solving a problem. I like to think myself as a cool-headed person who can keep his wits about him under pressure.
I have enclosed my resume. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing my qualifications in more detail if you believe that I am qualified for the internship program.
Sincerely,

About the starred paragraph, I think that this is just inflation of self worth with no actual way to prove it. I just added it because I couldn't think of any better way to prove my suitability to the position and I read sentences like these in some career advice blogs. I do consider myself a quick learner and all but this way of writing seems too... smug... :/
Should I omit it? Or is it fine as it is? Also does the cover letter need to be longer than this? I'm new to this forum and forgive me if asking these questions is against the forum rules.
Thanks in advance...
