Dear Mr Hauser
Thank you very much for the friendly and informative telephone conversation that we had
yesterday. It made me all the more determined to apply for the position of Manager for the
Design Group of your company that you advertised in Süddeutsche Zeitung of August 25,
2003. Therefore I send you my application papers.
For more than five years I have been successfully working as an architect for the design unit at
Kohlhaas in Munich. Through this work I have been able to gain intensive practical experience
in realization of different design projects. The planning of the new Town Hall in Graz and the
Opera building in Bruges are the examples of my accomplishments during this period. We
managed to win these contracts under the conditions of fierce competition with a number of
internationally recognized companies. My responsibilities at Kohlhaas also include negotiating
and making arrangements with the contractors and developers. This experience - as well as
others - proves my leadership and organization abilities.
Moreover, I have also been working for some time as university lecturer at Munich Technical
University teaching “Design in Commercial Building Construction“. This kind of activity has
given me increased opportunity to develop the ability to explain complicated facts in a simple
way.
I am interested in a position that would allow me to fully apply both my creative energy and
leadership qualities. I possess strong communication and adaptation skills and always enjoy
new challenges. Developing ideas in a committed team is for me the most interesting task in
the profession of an architect. Besides I am also able to work under pressure and produce
results under conditions of stress.
I am presently in regular employment without notice being given. I am confident that the
combination of my knowledge and experience would be a valuable asset to your company. I
would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the advertised position with you in more detail.
Yours sincerely,
(Your handwritten signature)
