Need help with Cover Letter for Goldman Sachs degree apprenticeship 2024

hi! i have good grades but thats about it. I have 0 work experience in the finance sector, only in engineering (with a very prestigious company in the engineering world only though).

All i have done so far is i've gone through the whole GS website, and have done some research on the company as a whole. I've also done a online short course on corporate finance. That's all i've done. Is there anything more i can do to better my chances? Could anyone possibly share their cover letter or drafts or give me any tips?

Thanks!

Raiyan, be sure to emphasise the skills GS say they want - find places where they're present in your degree and in the online short course you mention. There's a guy at Cambridge Uni who breaks down how to write cover letters which I totally recommend: https://youtu.be/KE8VJrDtXmI
