Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to express my strong interest in your offering position. Your
company appeals to me because of my strong desire to further my career in
the clinical field. This position would provide me with an opportunity to
utilize and advance my skill-set knowledge that I have gained through my 5
years' clinical laboratory experience as a laboratory assistant. I am
foreseeing joining your team will continue improving my capability and
strengthening my enthusiasm towards the clinical field.
I gained my Bachelor degree in Biochemistry from the University of
California, Santa Barbara in 2008. In August of the same year, I was hired
as a Lab Assistant in the Processing Departments at Pacific Diagnostic
Laboratories and had worked there for 5 years till July this year. I was
responsible for providing day-to-day direction to Lab Assistants to achieve
optimal workflow (both specimen and data) into the technical departments
with minimum of error. I worked independently in the registration of
patient, ordering of tests, processing of specimens and placement of
prepared specimens onto analyzers and the reagent management of the
automated analyzers under supervision. With my outstanding performance, I
was also assigned to be in charge of the Referral Testing Department where
I took over diverse tasks of ordering inventory materials, training,
providing technical support, guidance, and assistant to Client Services,
and Patient Service Center (draw sites) staff, packaging and shipping out
stabilized specimens, including Biohazard Category A and B specimens,
researching special tests per doctors' requests, and drafting SOPs,
training checklists. Therefore, I have ample experience and full
understanding in maintaining patient confidentiality in accordance with
State and Federal regulations, as set forth in the HIPAA. Besides, I have
strong knowledge in PC software tools (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
Adobe Photoshop) and expertise in using computer-interfaced equipment, and
software applications to perform work duties.
I am confident that I would be a good candidate for this job because I am
an accurate, multi-task, and efficient with a strong work ethnic,
particularly through the experiences and knowledge I have acquired from my
past job. Most importantly, I value leadership, ethics, and especially
teamwork. I would enjoy this opportunity to reap the rewards of hard work
and dedication as a part of your Company.
I have attached herewith my resume for your consideration. I am looking
forward to joining your team to contribute my learned skill and knowledge,
and hoping that your Company may offer me an opportunity to further advance
my capability and enthusiasm in the science field. I would be delighted to
speak with you in more detail on my cell phone 805-***-****.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Mandy Cheung
