Dear all,
I'm writing a Letter of Motivation for a Master degree and I got impressed with this forum and how usefull it can be for non English native speakers.
I would like to post my LM and would apreciate any comments about it.
Dear Sir or Madam
I hereby apply for entrance to the Master Programme on Design and Construction Project Management at the Chalmers University of Technology for the 2009 autumn term. I am very interested in this degree and I believe my strong academic background in Engineering combined with my work experience may fulfill your requirements.
I am a Portuguese Civil Engineer working as a Site Manager for a Project Management firm where I am improving my skills in construction management and site coordination. From 2004 to 2007 I worked in Portugal for a Contractor, however in the year 2006 I embraced the opportunity to do an internship in Poland that gave me experience on living and working abroad. On my 5 years Civil Engineering degree I got specialized in Concrete structures and I also formed good knowledge in Hydraulics, Geotechnics, Planning and Transportation. Under the ERASMUS Programme I lived and studied in Denmark for 6 months.
After 4 years of professional experience on the construction business I got the maturity to decide on which area I pretend to be specialized. This Master Programme will contribute to the evolution of my career as it suits perfectly as an upgrade of the current position I hold and will allow me to develop my skills on Project Management. Since 2003 when I studied in Denmark I got interested in Sweden and its culture. From my studies at Chalmers I expect to gain knowledge not only on the Swedish way of working but also on several areas where management is essential. Studying the courses included in this Master Programme will let me better understand how to evaluate the viability of a Project, how to coordinate the interaction of the several actors, and how to be a successful Project Manager in the international business.
Thank you for considering my application.
Yours Sincerely,
Thank you in advance,
Diogo
