DaFonz gave some very good tips. I am currently working as a HR intern at a global company. A lot of times I see people applying the the position with a made up title. For example I am hiring for a Office admin, some people will put executive assistant on the email title. The computer program can not match the title and guess what... forget about how nice your resume is, your resume will not be in the system.
Another thing is do research on the company. Tell me how passionate you are in the cover letter. If you can't tell me why you want to work here, there are people out there who are dying to work for my company. That's just some of the things I see working as a HR intern. Hope this would help.
