COVER LETTER

To whom it may concern:

Please accept this letter along with the accompanying resume as evidence of my interest in applying for recruiting process at University of Miami _ UM. I have a variety of qualifying skills and abilities compatible with several academic and professional positions. Briefly, they are: Considerable academic experience in the field of construction and architecture augmented by a formal education and refined by specialized, industry- related training.

A proven record of success achieved through diligence, hard work, attention to detail, and my belief in a consistent application of the fundamentals. In my Professional Job Experiences, I have endeavored to study in depth the many interdisciplinary aspects of architectural design, technical construction process and project management. I have challenged myself by undertaking a varied, architecturally related job experiences with the intent of honing my skills, improving my hands-on knowledge, and enhancing my portfolio.

My aim was to broaden my perspective of interrelated fields: architectural concept drawing, technical, structural design and construction management. Although the emphasis of my studies (academics and professionals) has been in many aspects of urban planning and architectural design, moreover I believe a greater consideration should be given to the architectural construction management’s viewpoint. Thus, the reason for my Master's in civil engineering at NYU to be more intimately knowledgeable with the demands and limitations that this discipline has on architecture.

My overall goal is to maximize an architectural statement and design by utilizing new construction methods in the most effective way to accomplish the project.

I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and discuss how I can best enhance your stable of talent and to be more detailed about my background and my personal idea of the professional job.

Sincerely, Piermaria Caponi
