Dear,
Over the past 6 years I had worked for MHTN in Utah and Space group in Korea as a Project Architect, responsible for overseeing the architectural aspects of the development of the design of a building and production of the construction documents and specifications.
My position also involved coordinating the client's needs, and working with the designer and technical staff, as well as outside consultants and structural engineers.
Now I am working for Hyundai E&C as a design manager of main contractor side for Qatar National Museum in Qatar designed by Jean Nouvel since 2011. This is now very useful experience for me to understand the whole process from design to completion of construction on site. Also this project is now executing using BIM (DP). It is also another great benefit to experience progress using 3D for not only design but also construction.
Today I am seeking new employment in NY and NJ area because I want to move to this area to stay with my family t and to join one that has the excellent reputation your firm has earned. It would be a real privilege to be part of your team of architects and to bring my experience and expertise to this job.
I will also do my best to create projects in Korea based on my experience and network in Korea to contribute your firm as well
I can imagine that you'd like to interview the people you are considering since you have a big decision to make regarding hiring individuals from the outside. I'm available to speak with you in person or by phone if you'd like to talk about how I can become an asset to your company, bringing my skill, training, and experience.
If you wish to Contact me, please call me at 974-6685-8266 day or evening. I appreciate very much your reading my cover letter and attached resume and giving me an opportunity to work for this excellent job. I hope you will consider me seriously to take on the responsibilities that go with a job in architecture.
Sincerely,
Seung Hwan Choi
