January 22, 2018 Dear Human Resource: I am seeking a Project Manager position at your company. I have seven years of residential and commercial project management and design experience at internationally renowned architectural firms, where I have led large multidisciplinary teams across all project phases. Upon completion of Masters of Architecture degree at Washington University in St. Louis in 2013, I joined the respected architecture office of Robert A.M. Stern (former Dean of Yale School of Architecture), in shaping the city skyline both domestically and internationally. At RAMSA, because of my professional knowledge, dependable work ethic and passion, I excelled quickly to attain managing and leadership position. I hope to continue to grow professionally and contribute my skills in becoming an integral member of your company.

During my tenure at RAMSA, I led the management and design efforts for a diverse portfolio of high profile international projects. Notably some key projects includes: 861,000 ft2 ultra-luxury multifamily residential development in the central district of Shanghai-China; mixed-use development of condo, hotel, office, and retail in ChangchunChina; civic plaza with commercial redevelopment in Almaty-Kazakhstan. Through these fruitful experiences, I have demonstrated my ability to effectively manage complex, high caliber projects under tight time constraints. I was responsible for delegating and directing project team of 5-30 people on daily tasks and to develop realistic scope of services, project timelines, and staffing needs. Externally, I held a key role in the coordination and communication with consultants and client on a daily basis. I have earned the trust and respect of the constituents by consistently delivering dependable results and being open minded in developing solutions. This not only fostered good working relationships between the parties, but also cultivated future business development prospects. I capitalized on these opportunities by bring new projects into the firm and successfully negotiating the contracts. Because of my strong entrepreneurial mind set, I was also involved in the business development plan and external communication for the firm. My management, leadership and technical experience at RAMSA has built a solid foundation for the next chapter of my career.

Through interaction with prominent developers, I was able to gain knowledge of the real estate development market.

My interest for a broader understanding of the industry grew stronger. Rather than limited to the design phase, I hope to participate in the full project cycle from inception to completion. Furthermore, my experience at Rainforth Grau Architects and licensure in California provided me with the necessary local knowledge to work on domestic projects.

As part of the team at your company, my strategic vision will empower me to make a meaningful impact in the company.

My proven management and leadership skills, together with my creative problem solving ability and my entrepreneurial passion makes me an exceptional candidate for the Project Manager position. I appreciate the chance to further discuss the opportunity to become a member of your company.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Laura Ju Wang
