I am an American Landscape Architect looking to relocate to Europe. I would
like to make contacts within the related fields of European Architecture,
Urbanism, Horticulture, Landscape Contracting and/or Garden Design. My
preferences are western European countries but I am wide open to all the
other locations.
Because my desire to live in Europe is so great and my ability to speak
other languages is not yet at a fluent level, I will accept a position far
below what my CV would suggest. This includes a job working with plants at a
European nursery or in landscape installation. At this level I believe my
talents and knowledge can help a European company and simultaneously, help
me get established in Europe while also giving me time to learn the
language. Considering how difficult it is for an American to find work in
Europe, I would be extremely happy to find work of any kind.
Besides going to school in Italy, I have worked and travel in Europe and
South America. While in these countries, I taught myself about their
particular garden designs and landscape plants. I have greatly enjoyed
working internationally and learning about other cultures. I wish to
continue this by relocating to Europe while also expand my professional
experience by living in one of the most culturally rich parts of the world.
I greatly anticipate your positive response.
Thank you for your assistance and time.
Most sincerely,
Mark Warriner
