My name is Dimpho Selepe and I am a grade 12 student of Hoërskool Gerrit Maritz, situated in Pretoria, South Africa. I am inquiring about the possibility of job shadowing someone as I am exploring a career path in architecture. Most universities suggest that learners should job shadow to grasp a deeper understanding to what it is and what it means to be an Architect. I believe that observing professionals in their work would provide vital insight to what it really means to be an architect. I am eager to gain a more indepth understanding of the day-to-day responsibilities and challenges in this field. Due to my responsibilities at school, I am unable during week days, but through thorough arrangements, it would be deemed possible that I’mable to attend during the week. I hope it would be possible to schedule a job shadowing seesion around July and the first week of August. Your mentorship would be ever so gracious and of great help to me and my future.
Sincerely,
Dimpho Selepe
