1. Why did you choose this job ad? Do you feel that you are qualified for the position? (paragraph)
My choice for Bovis Lend Lease is based on their reputation and projects. Bovis has a reputation as one of the world’s top general contractors. I live in the Chicago suburbs and frequently see Bovis Lend Lease projects sprouting up in the city. They have shaped a large portion of Chicago’s skyline. My area of focus is on residential and commercial high rise buildings which are Bovis’ forte.

2. How long has the ad been posted? If it has been posted for a long period of time, are you sure that the position is still available? How? (short answer)This position has only been posted for about a week. I am sure that the position is still available because Bovis Lend Lease is coming to Purdue to recruit for this position.

3. Where is the company located? Are you willing to move if it is out of state or in a foreign country? (short answer)
The company is located in Chicago; however they do have other locations around the world. As of right now my interest remains in Chicago and I am not willing to move elsewhere.

4. Why is living in the area that the company is located appealing to you? (paragraph)
Living downtown Chicago is appealing to me because there are so many high rise buildings in Chicago. High rise buildings inspire me to imagine the impossible in construction and push the industry to conquer what was once inconceivable.
