applying for a job
Dear Sirs*,
With reference to your recent advertisement in Col·legi Oficial de Psicòlegs, I would like to express my interest in the position of Research Assistant in the Managing People in Organisations Department.
As you will see in (or from) my CV, I am a psychologist with a broad experience in organisational and clinical psychology. I have been involved in courses and trainings of on stress management and leadership skills. After Since my degree I have been studying many different masters and courses and I am really interested in these areas of research. I got a received training in statistics, psychometrics and experimental designs as a part of my Master's studies.
I would be very proud of working to work in your prestigious university and I believe that this job would be an exciting challenge and opportunity to develop myself professionally.
I am available to arrange attend an interview at your convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Great work Gemma! My corrections are in red and my suggestions to sound more natural are in blue/grey.
Dear Sirs - If you are sure that the recipients of your letter will be men, you can use this. If you're not sure if the recipient will be a man or a woman, it's better to write "Dear Sir or Madam".
After/Since my degree - After my degree indicates a completed action, e.g. "After my degree I completed a Masters course". Since my degree indicates an ongoing action, e.g. "Since my degree I have been studying (and still continue to study...)
I am available to arrange/attend an interview - The person who organises the interview is the one who will arrange the interview. As you would be a candidate, you would attend rather than arrange the interview.
At your convenience - I suggested adding this to make your final sentence a little more polite. Otherwise it sounds a little abrupt. It might sound even better to say "I would welcome the opportunity to attend an interview at your convenience".
