Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to register with your agency as a part-time civil engineer .You might wonder why I am looking for a part-time job rather than a full-time one?. The answer is that I am currently studying a master degree; therefore, I don’t have this option to work in a full-time job.
I prefer to work 12 hours per week, and also it is much better if you can find a job nearby my house at the centre of Cairo as I don’t have a private vehicle.
As you can see from my enclosed resume, I have graduated from Cairo University in 2000 with a cumulative grade of “very good”. Since this time I have been working in the civil engineering construction field- In particular, heavy construction projects that include bridges and underpasses. I have practised the civil engineering in several countries and recently I decided to return Egypt to finalizing my master degree.
Please could you let me know whether you have an appropriate job for me. Your prompt action is highly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Tamer Amin
