COVER LETTER Sir/Madame,

I am writing to express my interest in joining your esteemed firm. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and I am looking forward to apply my skills for architectural design in a professional setting for which I find joining your firm would develop my skill and also to contribute to the development of your firm.

In addition to my academic qualifications, I also have practical experience worked as an Intern at Gensler, Bangalore and also for documenting government slum redevelopment project in Gangtok, India. Through this experience I have developed understanding of project plans and design along with the ability to manage the associated documentation. During my Internship period in Gensler, Bangalore I was required to make layouts for retail outlets and their construction drawing. During this period I was able to take part in some projects from design stage to construction drawings stage.

I possess a high degree of attention to detail and well organized in terms of design strategies and sustainable design development. I grasp quickly and constantly strive to succeed and excel in the profession. I have good communication skills, with the ability to work well as a member of team and also confident for independent work.

My other skills include an excellent knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, Sketch Up, Lumion, Vray, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Office. I am confident in my ability to quickly master use of any software with additional training. In addition to the above softwares I am also constantly working to develop other computational skills in Rhino, ArciCad, VectorWorks and Grasshoppers in which I am in learning stage.

I am a hard working person with natural enthusiasm to grasp more knowledge;and believe that I would make a positive addition to your team. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this application with you further and look forward to hear from you.

Yours faithfully, Kesava Karthik Kota
