Dear Hiring Manager,
I am interested in the Project Management/Project Assistant position that may be available at your company. From my enclosed resume, you will find that my experience in the A/E profession will meet your needs for the position.
I have worked at several architectural and engineering firms and have learned what it takes to successfully complete a project from its conception to the final built product. I have also worked with contractors and they have taught me that it takes ‘teamwork’ to make each project a success.
I am currently studying to take the architectural licensing exam and LEED Green Associate exam.
Thank you for your time and interest. Please contact me to schedule an interview and to discuss future employment. I am planning to relocate to Sacramento California by the end of 2011.
Sincerely Yours,
Carol M.B.R. Morimoto
