P.S.: If you have any other things to say about this sentence, I'm always open for corrections and tips.

Solution 1:

It does sound a little funny. Something more along these lines might be better:

• While I was reading your offer, it seemed as though this position were made for me.
• As I was reading your offer, it seemed like this position had been made for me.
• As I read your offer, it occurred to me that this position seemed made for me.

Solution 2:

That sentence, “When reading your offer it seemed to me as if this position is made for me”, is afflicted with a mild case of dangling modifier. The notion is that applying the modifier “When reading your offer” to the subject of the sentence (it) doesn't make sense. (Note, it is a dummy pronoun in the sentence.) The rewordings given previously avoid the problem. The wikipedia article suggests that opinions differ on the importance of avoiding dangling modifiers.
