Dear Dr. The,
I am enclosing my resume in response to your advertisement for the position of Research Officer (Translational Research Lab), Reference: NCC/DMS/1209/116, as posted on 8 January 2010 on the NUS eJob Center website. I believe my experience in molecular biology research, excellent soft skills and good interpersonal skills make me a good candidate for further consideration.
As indicated in my attached resume, I am graduating from the National University of Singapore with an Honours degree in Life Sciences (specialization in Biomedical Science). I have been working on my final year project this past one year during which I gained a vast amount of knowledge on cloning work, taking it through every step from start to finish, with the final goal being recombinant protein expression and purification. I have also learnt to persevere, acquire trouble-shooting as well as good organisational skills which have given me the ability to work independently.
My experience in small research projects, business modules like marketing and operations management, in addition to my past work experience have instilled in me a good knowledge of computers, conducting statistical analyses as well as the necessary written and oral presentation skills. Moreover, as a team leader, I believe I have good interpersonal and communication skills that will enable me to work well in a team. The satisfaction I get from doing research has increased my interest in this field which will drive me to learn more and put in my best.
I believe my results-oriented attitude, strong laboratory skills and good communication skills will be an asset to the collaboration required between scientists and clinicians in your translational research laboratory. I do hope you will look favourably at my application and will review my resume further. I would like to meet with you to discuss my qualifications. I can be reached at the above telephone number and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your attention and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Prameet Kaur
