Upwork is the largest freelance marketplace online, with thousands of jobs posted every day.

Getting started as a freelancer on Upwork can be tough, because you’re often competing with dozens of other freelancers for a single job, and many of them are well established on the platform, with lots of great ratings and reviews.

So, how can you compete?

Well, it helps to submit A LOT of proposals.

In the words of Wayne Gretzky…

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

And it follows that the more shots you do take, the more likely you are to score.

But you should also ensure that you’re submitting QUALITY proposals, proposals that will help you stand out from the crowd and give you a solid chance of winning the job.

So, QUALITY and QUANTITY.

That’s what you should be aiming for.

And that’s where the following list of Upwork sample cover letters can help. They will enable you to apply for more jobs without resorting to obvious copy-and-paste tactics.

Each sample below is derived from a real cover letter that won a real job on Upwork.

I’ve included screenshots of the original job postings and cover letters so you can see exactly what the job was and how it was won.

Below each sample you’ll find a corresponding template you can use to quickly craft your own proposal for ANY job on Upwork.

There are 4 templates in total:

The Short And Sweet

The screencast standout, the honest newbie, the quick lister.

Note that each sample you’re about to see was submitted by a member of our private Freedom Business Builder community. Two of them were responses to job invites, and two were cold pitches.

Alright, here are the cover letter templates…

This first proposal sample comes from Justin, a freelance web designer and digital marketer.

The Job Description

The cover letter.

Justin was hired for the job at $50/hour.

The Template

Justin explains:

I typically use the same model for Upwork proposals: I ask about 3-4 relevant questions about the job in the first paragraph, and I qualify myself in the second paragraph.

So the template is as follows:

Hello [Client Name] , [If applicable: Thanks for the job invite.] It’s a pleasure to meet you. [Ask 3-4 short but relevant questions about the job here. This shows that you’ve read the description and know your stuff, and also invites the client to begin a conversation with you.] [Qualify yourself briefly here. 1-2 lines that communicate why you’d be a good fit for this job.] Best regards, [Your Name]

• Justin addressed the client by name at the beginning of his cover letter, even though the client never mentioned their name in the job description. Often you can find the client’s name mentioned in the reviews section of their profile. Going to the effort of finding their name and including it in your proposal will help you stand out from the crowd.
• Keep in mind that Justin was invited to this job, which gave him a much better chance of being hired. I asked Justin about this and he believes the key to getting hired is his strong profile and track record on Upwork.
• Justin taught himself web design in a two-month period, then started on Upwork at $9/hour. A little more than a year later he’d also taught himself digital marketing and was earning $45-55/hour consistently. Read more about his journey to Upwork success here .

This next proposal sample comes from Natalia, a freelance copywriter.

See Natalia’s screencast here:

Natalia explained to me via email:

This was my very first proposal screencast. It saves time to make a screencast to review a client’s website rather than writing endlessly to explain what you mean. This proposal was an answer to an invite to apply, but he invited a few people so I wanted to stand out.

The client was impressed:

Natalia ended up getting paid $350 for this job, but that wasn’t the end of it:

I’m still working for this client, and he is constantly thinking up new jobs I can do for the campaign because he is always happy with my work.

First, a warning:

• You should be selective including screencasts as part of you cover letter. They are are not always appropriate. Use them if you find yourself trying to explain something to a client in writing that would be more easily explained on screen.

The template is as follows:

Hello [Client’s Name] , [If applicable: Thank you for your invitation.] [Share a link to your screencast and briefly explain what it contains. You want to give the client a compelling reason to click the link and watch. Tell them what benefit they will get from it and note that it will only take up a few minutes of their time.] [1 paragraph explaining why the job appeals to you. Bonus points if you can share why the goals of the client resonate with you personally.] [1 paragraph sharing an example of your work, ideally closely related to the job you’re applying for.] If you want to collaborate with me let’s discuss it in more detail over the chat. Kind regards, [Your Name]

• Pro Tip Use the free version of Loom to create and share screencasts effortlessly.

This next proposal sample comes from Gray, a freelance graphic designer.

Gray was hired to do the job at a 10% discount, but that was only the beginning. As he explained to me via email:

This also led to ongoing work and was for the guys who I am pricing up that $8,000 job for. Its looking like it is going to be a bit more than that btw. Its for a complete game, and Im currently going through the spec with them bit by bit.

Gray explains:

I came at it with an honest approach and said basically ‘look, I have a lot of experience, but none on upwork, help me out and Ill do it for a 10% discount. Win win.’

Hello [Client’s Name], I’d really like to work with you on this one if possible! I do have a couple of questions, but first I’d like to make you an offer and some background so you can check my work out. [Short paragraph explaining your work experience relevant to the job.] However, I am new to Upwork and looking to get a few clients that I can build upon. If you take a look at my work and feel that I could help you, I’ll do it for a 10% discount. You’ll get all the expected stuff like a great professional service and a fast turn around, at a bit less, and I get a bit more exposure. [If applicable, include a link to your portfolio website here, or invite the client to check out the work samples you’ve attached to your proposal.] [Ask 1-2 short but relevant questions about the job here. This shows that you’ve read the description and know your stuff, and also invites the client to begin a conversation with you.] If the above offer sounds like something you would be interested in, I’d love to hear from you. Regards, [Your Name]

Note that the template above doesn’t contain the word TOKYO, which was included at the top of Gray’s cover letter. Gray added that as a response to the client’s request at the bottom of the job description. Many clients use this trick to quickly determine if you’ve actually read the job description.

So… make sure you actually read the job description!

This next proposal sample comes from Susan, a freelance editor and proofreader.

Susan explained to me via email:

I bid $125, and it was accepted immediately. This job took me 90 minutes to complete and 30 minutes to double check. As this was a legal document, I was careful to edit in a way that did not change the meaning of any of the sentences. This Swiss lawyer had English that was near perfect. I delivered the files within 2 hours and the client added a $40 bonus to my payment and left me 5-star feedback. $165 for 2 hours is a pretty good rate.

Hi [Client’s Name], I would be happy to work on your [document/job/whatever] immediately. [Numbered list covering the most important requirements mentioned in the job description, and how you plan to meet them. This shows that you fully understand what’s needed and have a plan for making it happen.] [1-2 paragraphs detailing your background/expertise, as relevant to the job at hand.] What you’ll receive: [Short list that paints a clear picture of what you will deliver (and by when) should the client hire you to do the job.] Send me a quick message and we can figure out if we are a good fit to work together! [Your Name]

• Not included in the template: the “Code 833” at the top of Susan’s proposal. This was a response to the client’s request hidden within the job description. Many clients use this trick to quickly determine if you’ve read it thoroughly.

38 thoughts on “4 Proven Upwork Cover Letters To Save You Time And Win More Jobs”

Hi, I have been an Upworker for the past several years. But of late, only very few clients are contacting me for jobs, and I could not figure out the reason. After going through community discussions, I figured out that rewriting proposals can help a bit. So I am trying to do that. This blog post is really interesting, and I could get some ideas from this. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Confirm that this approach to proposal writing works well. I get about 50% of the answers. Thanks Niall!

Hey, Thank you so much! I read your blog post the previous night and sent a proposal according to your first 1. The short and sweet. I applied it and tomorrow morning I saw a reply from that client. Thank you so much. It is crazy. I am going to subscribe you to get more and more beneficial posts.

Hi Nail, I read this writeup and some other posts (the profile remodeling and scam flags) and I have to say, I was really pumped and I put them to work. A few days later, I got my first gig. I finished in record time and got an excellent review. It’s just that after that, I’ve got nothing else. After a lot of proposals using the techniques above, I get a few responses but nothing serious. Any advice? Thanks for the tips and the first job, tho’ and thanks in advance for any tips. David

It could be a number of things, hard to know just from what you’ve written. But ultimately pitching for jobs on Upwork is a numbers game. You have to keep pitching as much as you can and perhaps even lower your rate to get the first few jobs and reviews. Once you have more reviews it becomes easier to get jobs.

Thanks a lot Niall Doherty,

Your Cover letters really helped me to win more jobs on Upwork.

Thank you again!

Thanks for the helpful tips. I’ve already had some successful contracts on upWork, and do use some of the ideas (such as addressing by name.) I’d like to increase my percentage of contracts won, and hope to do so by following some of your other tips. I’ll report back next week, after I’ve tried a few. Cheers!

Thanks for an excellent resource. For once, Google’s #1 search result truly deserved to be #1

Hi Sir Niall, Good day! I just sent my proposal today and hopefully, I’ll get a response soon. Here’s the link to my cover letter and the job posted. https://imgur.com/a/YOwNZdJ Thank you, Joshie

i won my first client in just 5 minutes thanks a lot

I cannot thank you enough for sharing this information! I used a mix of a The Honest Newbie & The Quick Lister for my very first proposal on UpWork. I got a contract back later that day!

Glad to hear that, Sam. Well done!

Hi Niall, I have been trying to freelance on Upwork for the last few months, but am getting little interest from potential clients. I am an architectural designer with 13 years experience, but have no college degree. I write cover letters offering to help with the problem the clients listed about design or construction, list the services I can give them, attach samples of my previous work, and tell that I am ready to start if they are interested. So far nobody is. It is discouraging to keep submitting offers for work that are ignored, when I try to be friendly, professional, and interested. What am I doing wrong do you think?

It’s hard to know what the issue is based only on what you’ve shared here. But first thing I’d say is that if you’ve submitted less than 20 proposals, you should keep trying. You can keep tweaking and experimenting with your proposals, but ultimately Upwork is a numbers game. Even the best freelancers on there probably win no more than 30% of the jobs they pitch for. And starting out it’s probably more like 5-10%.

Secondly, it might be worth lowering your rate for a while, if you haven’t already. Do that in combination with the Honest Newbie template above and see how you get on.

Thank you Nial.

I combined your two templates No.4 + No. 3 in order to write my proposal yesterday. And I got the first job out of 5 proposals.

I really appreciated it!!!.

Great job, Olivia!

Woow! Niall, this is an amazing content and excellent guides to upwork. Thank you and keep it up.

Thanks, Nicholas 🙂

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. Great work! I will definitely try in this process.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I was able to get my first job within my first round of sending out only 6 proposals because of these templates! As a student this was such a great feeling.

That’s great, Christine! Well done 🙂

Update, not a week later I have now secured not one but TWO long term contracts due to these templates getting me through the door and my work being up to par! Many many thanks!

You’re crushing it 🙂 Thanks for reporting back!

Thanks for all the super helpful info!

This article is very helpful, thank you so much for this

Thank you very much!! Valuable info

So, Susan, in her linked interview, mentions a specific course she took with you, Niall (or perhaps it’s one you made?). She mentions that this course was what she believed helped her in her 30-day experiment with Upwork. I’ve clicked around and can find nothing but the Facebook group. What is the course she’s referring to, and are you still offering it?

Yes, I had a course (originally called “3 Months -> $1k” … later rebranded as “Freedom Business Builder”) that was available for almost 3 years but I closed it at the end of November 2018. The Facebook group for the course is still active and our Patreon supporters get access to it.

Are you looking to do similar work to Susan?

Thanks for replying, Niall! Yes I am looking to do the same line of work. I’ve landed a few jobs and would love some tips about how to really take off on Upwork.

Really Good. I strongly recommend this article

Thanks really find this article useful,will try follow the tempelates with my own works,appreciate.

Thank you so much for this, i find very helpful. I will definitely make use of these templates especially the 1st and 4th ones. Thanks once again

12 Architect Cover Letter Examples

Architects meticulously design structures that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and enduring, blending creativity with practicality. Similarly, your cover letter is your blueprint to showcase your professional journey, combining your creative vision, technical skills, and enduring commitment to the field. In this guide, we'll delve into the best cover letter examples for Architects, helping you to construct a compelling narrative that stands the test of time.

Cover Letter Examples

Cover letter guidelines, architect cover letter example, senior architect cover letter example, junior architect cover letter example, landscape architect cover letter example, professional architecture cover letter example, architectural designer cover letter example, soa architect cover letter example, architectural intern cover letter example, architectural drafter cover letter example, architectural project manager cover letter example, principal architect cover letter example, building engineer cover letter example, how to format a architect cover letter, cover letter header, what to focus on with your cover letter header:, cover letter header examples for architect, cover letter greeting, get your cover letter greeting right:, cover letter greeting examples for architect, cover letter introduction, what to focus on with your cover letter intro:, cover letter intro examples for architect, cover letter body, cover letter body examples for architect, cover letter closing, what to focus on with your cover letter closing:, cover letter closing paragraph examples for architect, pair your cover letter with a foundational resume, cover letter writing tips for architects, highlight your design philosophy, showcase relevant projects, emphasize technical and soft skills, express your interest in the company, proofread and keep it professional, cover letter mistakes to avoid as a architect, failing to highlight relevant skills, not tailoring the letter to the specific job, overloading with technical jargon, ignoring the importance of soft skills, not proofreading, cover letter faqs for architects.

The best way to start an Architect cover letter is by clearly stating your purpose and enthusiasm for the role. Begin with a professional greeting, then introduce yourself and mention the specific position you're applying for. Highlight your most relevant skills or experiences that align with the job description. For example, "As a licensed architect with 5 years of experience in sustainable design, I am excited about the opportunity to bring my unique blend of creative and technical skills to your firm's innovative projects." This approach immediately communicates your qualifications and passion for the role, capturing the reader's attention.

Architects should end a cover letter by summarizing their interest in the position and their belief in their ability to contribute positively to the company. This can be done by reiterating key skills or experiences that align with the job description. It's also important to express enthusiasm for the potential opportunity to join the team. For example: "I am excited about the possibility of bringing my unique blend of creativity, technical expertise, and collaborative spirit to your esteemed firm. I am confident that my skills and passion make me a strong candidate for this opportunity." Finally, always thank the reader for their time and consideration, and express your eagerness for the next steps. For example: "Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing my qualifications further." Remember, the end of your cover letter is your final chance to leave a lasting impression, so make it count.

An architect's cover letter should ideally be one page long. This length is enough to succinctly present your skills, experiences, and passion for architecture without overwhelming the reader. It's important to remember that hiring managers often have numerous applications to go through, so a concise, well-structured cover letter will be appreciated. This length also allows you to focus on the most relevant and impressive aspects of your career, ensuring that the reader's attention is drawn to your strongest points.

Writing a cover letter with no experience as an Architect can seem daunting, but it's important to remember that everyone starts somewhere. Here's how you can approach it: 1. Start with a strong introduction: Begin by introducing yourself and stating the position you're applying for. Make sure to express your enthusiasm for the role and the company. 2. Highlight relevant skills: Even if you don't have direct experience as an Architect, you likely have skills that are relevant to the role. This could include technical skills like proficiency in AutoCAD or SketchUp, or soft skills like problem-solving or creativity. Use specific examples to demonstrate these skills. 3. Discuss your education: If you're a recent graduate, your education is particularly relevant. Discuss the degree you earned, any specializations you have, and any relevant coursework or projects. This can help show your knowledge and passion for architecture. 4. Show your passion for architecture: Employers want to hire people who are passionate about their work. Discuss why you're interested in architecture and how this passion will drive you to succeed in the role. 5. Mention any relevant experience: Even if you haven't worked as an Architect, you may have other experiences that are relevant. This could include internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer work. Any experience where you've used relevant skills or gained industry knowledge can be helpful. 6. Close with a strong conclusion: In your conclusion, reiterate your interest in the role and your eagerness to contribute to the company. Thank the employer for considering your application and express your hope for further discussion. Remember, the goal of a cover letter is to show the employer why you would be a good fit for the role. Even without direct experience, you can still demonstrate your passion, skills, and potential.

How to Write an Effective Architecture Cover Letter

• Updated: July 2, 2024

Whether attending a job interview, or sending out an online application for the first time, delivering a positive and well-rounded first impression is of vital importance, and this is especially true when it comes to applying for an architectural position within a firm .

As particularly when competing against many other suitable candidates, applicants rarely get a second chance to introduce themselves, so why not do it right?

In this article we discuss how to write the perfect architecture cover letter , and examine its purpose, format and structure, together with tried and tested writing tips and principles that conclude with a step by step paragraph breakdown and free cover letter template.

All aiming to ensure that you and your application stand out to your next prospective employer.

For those looking to get straight into preparing and writing their cover letter, we have prepared 28 fully editable and adaptable cover letter templates to help support and speed up the process.

Fully-structured, ready-to-use, and highly-customizable, these can simply be opened, edited, and sent. Bespoke elements and personal details are clearly highlighted in red, making them incredibly easy and simple to edit. …More information via the below link:

You only get one first impression.

83% Of Decision Makers Say Cover Letters Are Important - Impress 100% Of Them.

What is a cover letter and what is its purpose.

In your search for prospects in the architectural field, you can spend hours on end trying to pull together the perfect resume. However, the silver bullet could be a well written cover letter.

Though it is believed that a lot of employers do not read cover letters, more than half of them expect to be sent one with an application regardless.

Job applications in most professions, architecture inclusive, have two main constituents. First is your resume – which provides a summary of your education and professional experience. Next is your cover letter!

Though they might both seem commensurate, the cover letter is possibly the more important, as it is the first means of introduction to a prospective employer.

If landing that job is of top-priority to you, your resume is not enough! Be it for an internship, part-time or full-time position, ensure you include a cover letter.

This gives more weight to your application and greatly improves your chances of getting called for an interview to discuss and present your portfolio .

Just like a spare tire, you never know when your cover letter will come in handy.

For more information on preparing a resume, we have a full guide here: How To Create The Perfect Architecture Resume

The purpose of a cover letter

Think of a cover letter as you would if you were meeting someone for the first time. As a professional, it signifies your intent, tone and values.

In the event that your cover letter is not successful at inspiring someone to learn more about you, there is a high chance they will not bother taking a look at your resume or portfolio at all.

A cover letter serves various purposes, some of which are:

• It communicates to the employer the reason why you should be hired.
• It showcases your noteworthy endeavors and expertise. It is suggested that you show-off the duties you undertook at your previous jobs. This will draw the employer’s attention to your distinctive capabilities.
• You might want to convey how passionate you are about the field of architecture. Also, showcase enthusiasm for the position you are applying to and how important the job opportunity is to you.
• Cover letters set precedence for follow-up. We suggest that you include the date and time you plan to call for a follow-up, so as to abolish the waiting game. This places the ball in the court of the employer.
• A great cover letter makes up for a sub-par resume. If your resume is lacking in some areas, be sure to exhibit your personality via a convincing cover letter.
• It illustrates your ability to communicate clearly and effectively. Resumes tend to be short and precise, so a cover letter affords you the opportunity to expatiate on points.
• Cover letters confirm that you have carried out adequate research on the company and what they search for in a client.

Core architecture cover letter tips and principles

Here are some tips to help with writing your architectural cover letter:

Keep it brief

• A cover letter should not be longer than a page. Ideally it should have a target of three paragraphs; maximum of four or five depending on how you break up the body of writing.
• Use this space to state the things you can offer the firm, and avoid bombarding your letter with redundant words and unnecessary information.
• Place your focus on writing a griping and succinct cover letter, as this demonstrates your ability to effectively communicate.
• Be sure to avoid repetition.

Start strong

Begin your write-up by stating the role you are applying for, and why you are a suitable candidate for the position. Be sure to mention your work experience and qualities that make you ideal for the job.

Note that you should stay away from phrases like “I’m the perfect candidate for this position because…” or “I am confident I will exceed your expectations in every way.”

For applicants that do not have prior work experience in the field, it might benefit you to focus on recounting your extracurricular accomplishments. In general, the firm should get an idea that your foundation is solid enough to launch a career in the architecture field.

Customize your cover letter

Personalize your cover letter by adding keywords that have been mentioned in the job description. Make sure you read through the job posting carefully, and highlight the skills needed for the role (e.g., years of experience, technical skills, degree, etc.)

A pro tip is to take the buzzwords in the job posting, and reverse engineer them to fit your cover letter, as many companies even use automated applicant tracking systems (ATS) to screen applications.

Furthermore, make evident your acquaintance with the job role, the architectural field and the firm or employer.

Your application should stand out as it will not appear to be generic, but put together specifically for this purpose.

Address a specific person

If possible, your cover letter should be addressed to the hiring manager – with their first and last name. If you do not have a name, a quick google search might help.

You could take it a step further by contacting the organization directly to find out. The personal touch shows that you made an effort. 

Though “Dear Hiring Manager” and “To Whom It May Concern” are a bit frosty, we would suggest you go with the later if unable to get any information on the hiring manager’s name.

Sell yourself

Keep your cover letter distinctive as it is your marking document. Do not simply copy and paste everything in your resume, but expand on the best parts of it.

List and expand on your soft skills and social skills, as some companies are really big on this. Some examples of soft skills include communication, teamwork, problem solving, etc.

Your cover letter gives you a chance to explain gaps in your resume, if you have any. See the cover letter as would your “elevator pitch” or a marketing campaign.

Use the right format

Formatting plays a major role in the world of design. Your cover letter should look professional and clean. Also, ensure that the format of your cover letter complements that of your resume.

Keep the tone of your cover letter to three essential points, which are the introduction, body and conclusion.

Include testimonials

Providing references from former managers, co-workers, and clients can go a long way in emphasizing your expertise and passion for the job. Add one or two testimonials to your letter, but do not go overboard with it as it might lead to overcrowding.

Proofread painstakingly

Be sure to double check your letter right after you are done putting it together. It is easy to make spelling errors and “ spell check ” might not catch every single one of them.

We suggest you give your letter to a friend to check for grammatical and spelling errors as well. You could also show them the job description, to confirm that you have covered all points required.

Cover letter mistakes to avoid

• Beating around the bush: This can be a time waster for you and the hiring manager. Go straight to the point in your letter.
• Using emoticons and abbreviations: Avoid using emoticons and words like “WOW,” “LOL,” “OMG” as they show a lack of professionalism.
• Focusing too much on yourself: Your emphasis should be on the job description and what you bring to the table. The employers needs to know that you can get the work done.
• Overusing the word “I’: Using the word “I” at the beginning of every sentence makes your letter look monotonous and more like an autobiography.
• Oversharing: Resist the urge to share every tiny detail about your previous work experience. A brief and concise description is fine.
• Giving red flag details: Do not overemphasise your weaknesses and bad encounters from past jobs, as this could easily create a negative impression of you.
• Length: Do not overstretch the cover letter. Also, avoid complicated sentence structures and ambiguous vocabulary. You can keep the letter at half or full page.
• Unprofessional contact information: Make sure your email address does not contain vulgar words. A formal and safe address is one that contains your first and last name .
• Generic letters: Customize your cover letter to each job posting.
• Same information: Skip information that is already included in your resume.
• Sign: Do not forget to sign your cover letter, as this shows that you pay attention to detail.
• Proofreading: Ensure you properly proofread your cover letter to avoid spelling and grammatical errors.

How to format and structure your architecture cover letter

01. – format.

Human Resource Managers get loads of applications all the time, but only interview a few applicants. So how can you get your cover letter to stand out among the rest?

These quick pointers are a simple yet effective way of ensuring your letter is successfully formatted and structured:

• Align all parts of the cover letter to the left side.
• Letters should be single spaced with 1-inch margins on each side.
• Choosing the right font is crucial. Stay away from fancy fonts and be sure to match the cover letter font to that of your resume.
• Your architecture cover letter should be a single page or less.

02. Your cover letter header should have the right contact information

The header is the very first thing that people see. Ensure you start with the correct date and contact information. Then, proceed to the recipient’s name, title and their contact details.

Here is an example:

[Your Full Name]

[Job Title]

[Contact Number]

[Email Address]

[LinkedIn Profile Link]

[Online Portfolio Link]

[Hiring Manager’s Full Name]

[Their Title]

[Company Name]

[Company Address]

[City, State, Zip]

For uniformity and easy identification, use the same header on both your resume and cover letter.

03. Introduce yourself and reference the position you’re applying to

Your cover letter should match the job description and begin with the full name of the hiring manager.

Compose the first paragraph of the letter by introducing yourself and stating the job position you are applying for. Cite your greatest architectural accomplishments and ensure they fit the job posting.

Here’s an example:

Stacey King,

Hiring Manager,

FMA Architects,

84 Suntan Avenue,

Toronto, ON L4W 48E.

Dear Stacey,

As a graduate architect based in the city of Mississauga, passionate about building design and construction, I was delighted to find your ad for the role of an Architectural Technician. For the longest time, I have been a fan of FMIA Architects and the company’s dedication to sustainable architectural design. This is why I believe my creativity and 3D visualization skills make me a great fit for the role.

From your job posting, it is evident that you are searching for an experienced architectural technician with 3D rendering skills and knowledge of working drawings. The company is interested in green house advancement and I am certain that my 5 years of accomplishments at Crowley Designs and Management have adequately equipped me for this role, including:

– Leadership. Led the design of more than 15 residential and commercial building projects in the city of Toronto.

– Collaboration.  Introduced new teamwork approach with project management team which saw a 20% decrease in planning time.

– Independence. Solely oversaw the management and construction of 7 residential buildings in the past 5 years.

During my time at Crowley Designs and Management, I practiced and learned many skills, which are transferable into the architectural technician role at FMIA Architects. My years of experience producing architectural designs and construction drawings give me an exceptional edge for this new role.

As evident in my accomplishments, I am very pleased with the work that I do, and if given the opportunity to prove myself at FMIA Architects, I will come with that same work ethic and enthusiasm.

I am welcome to discussing FMIA Architects’ future projects and plans. I would love to meet up for a coffee, and further explain how I believe my skills could be translated to my work at the firm. I will be in touch in the coming week to confirm an appointment.

Submitting your cover letter to an architecture firm

Now that you have successfully written a cover letter, it is time to send it out to a prospective employer with your resume, and in some cases, a portfolio .

In general, most job applications are sent via email. Submissions via the company’s website, or a job recruitment website, are quite common as well. There are some employers that would rather have the old-fashioned hard copy submission method.

Email Submission

There are three email submission methods, namely:

Option 1: Cover letter in body of email, resume and portfolio attached separately

• It is more likely that the cover letter will be read if it is in the body of the email, as opposed to it being in a separate attachment.
• This is a great option to use if the formatting of the resume and portfolio are different from that of the cover letter.
• The package is more interesting, as opposed to opening an attachment and seeing just a letter in it.
• The benefit of the resume and portfolio attachments being separate, could also be a disadvantage, as they could both remain unopened after the cover letter has been viewed.

Option 2: Cover letter, resume and portfolio attached separately

• This allows for different formatting to be used in each document
• The hiring manager can simply skip to the exact document they are looking for
• Documents can easily be lost or skipped. Also, more files to open for the hiring manager.

Option 3: Cover letter, resume and portfolio joined into one attachment

• Keeping track of just one document is a lot easier.
• It makes it easier for the hiring manager to print all, if need be.
• If the body of the email is not compelling enough, the attached documents may not be opened at all.
• In the case where the cover letter is included in the body of the email and also in the attachment, it becomes redundant.
• It is a bit trickier if you have different formatting in the documents, e.g. portrait and landscape modes.

Website Submissions

A lot of large architectural organizations allow job applicants submit the application on their websites. Usually, there is a form on the website for the applicant to fill in their details, and attach resumes and portfolios.

PDF documents can also be attached and a text box is incorporated in case candidates want to write their cover letters.

Simply follow the directions on the website, as they vary based on the company.

Mailed Hard Copies

Yes, there are still companies out there that expect you to mail hard copies of your cover letters, resumes and portfolios to them. You might also want to drop in on the architectural firm, and hand in your documents in person.

In that case, ensure that your documents are printed out on high-quality, white-colored bond paper. Place documents in a waterproof envelope to reduce chances of them getting wet. Do not forget to sign the cover letter by hand before submission.

Final words…

Writing a cover letter may seem like a hassle, but note that it is a great way to create a worthy first impression. It can quickly inspire the person on the other end to interview you or trash your application.

Take the chance and craft a magnificent letter that sells you in the best possible light to prospective employers. A well written cover letter can land you the perfect job, so give it a chance.

We’re rooting for you. Best of luck!

Olivia Wilson Albert Kahn Associates 123 Fictional Lane Detroit, MI 48127

Dear Ms. Wilson,

My interest in architecture began when my family visited a 16th Century synagogue. I was awed by the building designs. I was ten years old then, and with a childish naivety, I swore I wanted to become an architect. Fast forward, the dream came true, and I would love to share my passion and skills with the dynamic team at Albert Khan Associates.

One of my key strengths lies in my ability to leverage structural analysis software to ensure the integrity and safety of designs. At Better Home, I successfully utilized Etab to optimize a multi-story commercial building’s structural elements, resulting in a 21% reduction in material costs and a 44% increase in overall structural stability.

In my previous role at Cradle Heritage, I led a team responsible for the renovation of a historical building. By meticulously analyzing the structure’s original plans and using FEM-Design, we managed to retain its historical charm while introducing modern elements. As a result, the project received accolades from architectural critics and contributed to a 67% increase in foot traffic to the space.

I am eager to bring this same level of enthusiasm, knowledge, and analytical prowess to Albert Kahn Associates. The firm’s long-standing reputation for delivering outstanding architectural solutions perfectly fits my professional goals. I am confident that my expertise, coupled with my passion for pushing the boundaries of design, would make me a valuable asset to your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I am excited about the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to Albert Kahn Associates’ continued success.

Dear Mr. Taylor,

Having conducted extensive research on Humphries Poli Architects, I am drawn to the firm’s commitment to innovative design and its impressive portfolio of projects that seamlessly blend creativity and functionality. The emphasis on sustainable practices and the integration of modern technologies align perfectly with my personal and professional values and I would cherish a chance to be an intern at Humphries Poli Architects.

I successfully created visualizations that helped bridge the gap between abstract ideas and tangible concepts, aiding in client presentations and design decision-making. One notable accomplishment was a local building project where my renderings played a significant role in securing client approval for the design proposal.

My graphic design skills complement my architectural abilities, as I am well-versed in creating compelling marketing materials, presentations, and branding collateral. At one time, I created Canva marketing materials for Arch-Tech Week that contributed to a 34% increase in attendance at the architecture department event, highlighting my capacity to attract and engage audiences through visual design.

I am enthusiastic about the prospect of joining Humphries Poli Architects and contributing to your creative and collaborative environment. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences align with your team’s needs in greater detail.

Sophia Anderson Powers Hill Design 123 Fictional Lane Memphis, TN 38088

Dear Ms. Anderson,

As a child, I would notice the details that went into decorating outdoor spaces. That passion has shaped my career and I would like to bring my skills and experience in creating sustainable and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space as a landscape architect at Powers Hill Design.

In my previous role as an assistant landscape architect at Strongman Designs, I leveraged Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze and visualize spatial data, resulting in a 19% improvement in project efficiency by streamlining site analysis processes.

Planting design is a passion of mine, and I have a track record of creating visually stunning and ecologically sound planting schemes. On my most recent projects, I achieved a 23% reduction in maintenance costs due to the selection of native plant species and efficient irrigation solutions.

At Grande Designs, in my role as a junior Landscape architect, sustainability was at the core of my design philosophy. I showed my commitment to implementing environmentally friendly practices in every aspect of my work. By integrating sustainable design principles, I was able to achieve a 29% decrease in water consumption in a large-scale commercial project.

Powers Hill Design’s reputation for innovative and thoughtful design aligns perfectly with my career aspirations. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can contribute to Powers Hill Design’s continued success.

• And that’s not the end of it all. It goes further to include an achievement metric for boosting project efficiency. Those are things that recruiting managers would easily notice and, in one way, influence their decisions.

Aiden Lee Perkins and Will 123 Fictional Lane Atlanta, GA 30302

Dear Mr. Lee:

From the moment I stepped into the dynamic world of architecture, I was captivated by the exceptional and sustainable designs of Perkins and Will. It is with deep-rooted enthusiasm that I apply for the junior architect position, eager to join a team of excellent mentors and leaders in the field of architecture.

In my recent tenure with Brock Hudgins Architects, architectural drafting was at the heart of my responsibilities. I was able to successfully produce detailed drawings for 34 residential and commercial projects, adhering to both aesthetic and functional requirements. Here I was able to sharpen my technical abilities and assimilate the importance of balancing precision with creativity.

On top of this, my understanding of building codes and regulations was not just a responsibility as an intern at Ross Design Architects, but a passion, which reduced project revision times by 3.6 hours. During my time here, I was often commended for my ability to navigate complex zoning laws and environmental regulations to adhere to the highest standards of safety.

My journey in architecture has been marked by a serious commitment to understanding and optimizing the relationship between structures and their environments. At Niles Bolton Associates, I learned all about conducting site analysis as an intern. Assisting senior architects, I was able to conduct site evaluations for 28 projects to identify environmental factors and community needs.

As a junior architect, I would be elated to become a part of your company’s projects with hopes to learn and grow together. Thank you for considering my application and look forward to a favorable outcome.

Dear Ms. Mitchell:

As a senior architect with over a decade of experience in the creation and realization of exemplary architectural designs, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my skills to the dynamic team at Hord Coplan Macht. I am certain that my background in leading high-profile projects aligns with the ethos of delivering design excellence that your firm is renowned for.

My vast experience includes my recent time at Ayers Saint Gross where I led the facade design and analysis for a series of eco-friendly commercial complexes. With innovative use of materials and sustainable design practices, the project saved approximately 21% of its construction costs.

In addition, my time at Penza Bailey Architects involved handling advanced 3D modeling to present realistic and detailed visualizations to stakeholders, which enhanced client satisfaction rates by 22%. These visualizations were not just tools for presentation but instrumental in the iterative design process, ensuring precision and adherence to our sustainability goals.

Additionally, my expertise in advanced rendering and visualization techniques was honed during Waldon Studio Architects which enabled me to lead workshops within my current team to create architectural representations. This initiative resulted in a 16% boost in project approval rates, driving project efficiency and success.

I have always believed that architecture is not just about creating structures, but about shaping environments that resonate with their purpose and context which is why I am particularly drawn to Hord Coplan Macht. I hope to hear from you and await your positive response.

How to Write A Solid Architecture Cover Letter

What kind of architect are you? Make this clear in your cover letter while responding to each job description . Do they need an architect intern to provide fresh insight into building development? Do they want a landscape architect to add finishing touches to exterior spaces?

Look for what the job description calls for under the requirements and seek out traits and abilities you already have. Focus on success stories from your professional history when writing a cover letter for a job !

Writing your best greeting and introduction

When you revisit the job description , see if you can find any helpful names listed there, like the recruiter or hiring manager—your cover letter should be addressed to someone by name if possible!

Your opening paragraph should hook the audience by stating that you’re a good fit for the job role and showing why. Briefly outline a few of the personal qualities and past architectural experiences that qualify you for the role.

It also goes a long way when you put in a personal touch by establishing a connection with the company. Take a look at their website. Do you share in their love of modern styles or their emphasis on eco-friendly infrastructure?

Just . . . don’t write an opener like this by sounding apathetic, informal, and one-size-fits-all:

Hey Recruiters,

I think I’d be great at your company because I know lots about plants and buildings. Here’s some more stuff I can do.

Instead, address the letter recipient and company by name and share a personal example of why you’re already so well aligned with their values:

Much better!

Writing the body paragraphs

It’s time to construct your cover letter just like you’d design a business complex. Each paragraph should build upon itself to tell a solid professional success story.

You already established a connection with the company in your greeting, so what can you use to support that? Do you have a success story about overcoming one of the obstacles listed in the job description ? Did your prowess as an architect make the most of an impressively large budget and produce amazing results?

Again, make sure you preserve a theme of alignment with the job description . Each body paragraph should have one core point (concision is key!), but all should align with the company.

Use Metrics, too: How much did you save your current company during that big project? What kinds of company feedback ratings and percentages did you improve by surprising customers with your modern redesign?

Example of a high-quality body paragraph

Concluding, closing, and signing off your cover letter

Now that you’ve done a stellar job of telling the story of your professional architectural accomplishments, it’s time to end your cover letter with some power! Reinforce your qualifications by briefly mentioning a couple more traits that align you with the job description .

Don’t forget a call to action that encourages the reader to contact you for more information. And make sure you thank the reader for their time! You can either work a thank-you into your closing paragraph while you describe how excited you are at the idea of working there, or you can make it your formal signoff.

Your signoff should be professional and sleek. Always use your real, full name, unlike some closers . . .

Can’t wait to work for your company. I know I’ll do great there.

This signoff includes a nice, formal closer—but not before reinforcing the connection between the applicant’s personal qualifications and the organization that’s hiring!

I am enthusiastic about the prospect of joining Humphries Poli Architects and contributing to your creative and collaborative environment. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences align with your team’s needs in greater detail.

Just keep it to one page! As an architect, you’re good at working with tricky spaces and rearranging elements to make everything work, so do the same with your cover letter. You probably have more to share, but that’s what your call to action is for!

If you can’t find your letter recipient’s name in the job description , check the company website for a staff or team page and look for the hiring manager. You can also check professional social media accounts like LinkedIn.

As much as the company culture indicates! How does the job description sound, plus the company’s webpages? Look for common denominators or key wording like “sustainability” or “cutting-edge and modern” that give clues about how formal the company is.

Key qualities recruiters search for in a candidate’s cover letter

• Knowledge of building codes and regulations: Ensures the candidate can design safe, accessible, and compliant structures, avoiding costly errors or redesigns.
• Experience with sustainable design practices: Highlights a commitment to creating environmentally responsible and resource-efficient buildings, which is increasingly important in the industry.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills: Essential for working effectively with clients, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders throughout the design and construction process.
• Attention to detail and problem-solving abilities: Demonstrates the capacity to address complex design challenges and ensures that projects are executed to the highest standards and specifications.

The architectural designer cover letter salutation: how to address hiring managers

After covering the format of your architectural designer cover letter, let's look at the salutation.

Back in the day, the cordial "To whom it may concern" or "Dear Sir/Madam", might have worked out fine.

But, nowadays, your cover letter should approach hiring managers on a more personal basis.

So, what to do about your cover letter salutation ?

If you've messaged the recruiters and are on a first name basis or a more formal one, use the hiring manager's name in the greeting (e.g. "Dear Sophie," "Dear Ms. Givens", or "Dear Mr. Everett,").

Always aim to make the effort to find out the name of the hiring manager, who'd be assessing your application. Search on LinkedIn, double-check the advert on the corporate website, or message the brand on social media to find out more about the role.

If you can't find the hiring manager's name (and still want to sound professional), use "Dear HR Team,", "Dear Hiring Manager,", or the likes.

List of salutations you can use

• Dear Hiring Manager,
• Dear [Company Name] Team,
• Dear [Department Name] Head,
• Dear Mr./Ms. [Last Name],
• Dear [First Name] [Last Name],
• Dear [Professional Title]

Your architectural designer cover letter introduction and the value you bring

Moving on from the "Dear Recruiter" to your professional introduction .

Use those first two sentences of your architectural designer cover letter to present the biggest asset you'd bring to the organization.

Don't go into too much detail about your achievement or the skill set, but instead - go straight for the win.

That is - what is your value as a professional?

Would you be able to build stronger, professional relationships in any type of communication? Or, potentially, integrate seamlessly into the team?

What to write in the middle or body of your architectural designer cover letter

Here's where it gets tricky.

Your architectural designer cover letter body should present you in the best light possible and, at the same time, differ from your resume.

Don't be stuck in making up new things or copy-pasting from your resume. Instead, select just one achievement from your experience.

Use it to succinctly tell a story of the job-crucial skills and knowledge this taught you.

Your architectural designer cover letter is the magic card you need to further show how any organization or team would benefit from working with you.

Closing paragraph basics: choose between a promise and a call to action

You've done all the hard work - congratulations! You've almost reached the end of your architectural designer cover letter .

But how do you ensure recruiters, who have read your application this far, remember you?

Most architectural designer professionals end their cover letter with a promise - hinting at their potential and what they plan on achieving if they're hired.

Another option would be to include a call for follow-up, where you remind recruiters that you're very interested in the opportunity (and look forward to hearing from them, soon).

Choose to close your architectural designer cover letter in the way that best fits your personality.

Addressing limited to no experience in the architectural designer cover letter

There's nothing to worry about if you lack professional experience .

Your architectural designer cover letter could bridge the gaps in your professional history by focusing on what matters most to recruiters, that's either:

• skills - focusing on transferable ones you've gained, thanks to your life experience (e.g. volunteering, certificates, etc.);
• achievements - select the most relevant and noteworthy one from your history (e.g. education, projects, etc.);
• motivation - describe how you envision your professional growth in the next up to five years, thanks to this opportunity.

Key takeaways

Within this Enhancv guide, we've provided you with plenty of advice and inspiration on writing your architectural designer cover letter:

• Always make sure your architectural designer cover letter is tailored to the role you're applying for to make a good impression on recruiters;
• In your architectural designer cover letter include a header (with your name, the role you're applying for, date, and contact details) and an introduction of up to two sentences that highlight your key accomplishment or why you'd fit the role;
• Focus your architectural designer cover letter body on one sole achievement through your career and all the valuable lessons, skills, and know-how you've learned (that are relevant to the role);
• Ensure your architectural designer cover letter closing statement isn't generic and includes either a call to action or a promise;
• If you lack professional experience, shift recruiters' focus to a relevant achievement (thanks to your academic or versatile experience) or toward your dreams and goals for professional growth.

Architectural engineering is also known as building engineering. It is more like the application of engineering principles and technology to building design and construction. If I had to define an architectural engineer, I would say, An engineer who works in the structural, mechanical, electrical, construction or other engineering fields of building design and construction is called an Architectural Engineer.

Let’s see: Freelancer Profile Summary Sample 2023

Structural engineering is much more complex and different from other engineering works because structural engineering involves the analysis and design of physical objects including buildings, bridges, equipment supports, towers and also walls. Engineers who are mostly concentrated on buildings are responsible for the structural performance of a large part of the built environment.  Structural Engineers sometimes, informally are referred to as “building engineers”. Structural engineers require expertise in strength of materials and in the seismic design of structures where a particular part of knowledge is covered by earthquake engineering. Architectural Engineers sometime always obey the structural discipline as their work serves as a special and crucial part as they work closely with architects and other engineering specialists.

Now you maybe think that Architectural Engineering and Architecture is the same thing. Not at all! Sorry to disappoint you but these two terms are completely different and they have different means of work as well.

What differentiates architectural engineering from architecture (architect) as a separate and single and integrated field of study is compared to other engineering disciplines, Architectural Engineering is more like a multi-disciplinary engineering approach.
