To Whom It May Concern
I am writing to you regarding any Entry Level Lab Technician position, I have just
completed my first year in the Madison College Biotechnology Laboratory Technician
Program, I believe I would be able to perform all of the job as an entry level Lab Tech.
The skills I possess from previous work experience make me a valuable resource and an
ideal candidate for an entry level position at a biotechnology company, or invaluable
asset at a start-up company .
In reviewing the attached resume, you will note that through my coursework I am
acquiring valuable laboratory skills. I possess solid skills in documentation, GMP, ISO
and performing work in a quality-oriented environment from previous work experience
and training. I have acquired a strong mechanical aptitude. Furthermore, through my
years of working in a fast-paced, and often stressful, CNC (Computer Numeric Control)
machinist position, I have developed the ability to; multi-task, handle unexpected
challenges, and work as part of a team or individually, as needed.
Thank you for considering my application for your position. I will make a follow-up
contact with your office in one week, if I have not heard from you before then.
