To Whom It May Concern,
In response to your recent online job posting, please accept this letter
and resume in application for the Pharmaceutical Sales Specialist position
currently available in Omaha, Nebraska. I was excited to see that my
qualifications closely match your requirements for this position.
As highlighted in my resume, I have received a Bachelor of Science in
Biology from the University of Minnesota. My extensive background in
laboratory settings has attributed to my good communication skills through
presenting research to others as well as effectively communicating with lab
team members to meet goals.
As pointed out in my resume, my previous position at Lightworks required me
to work with customers to meet their needs and design custom light fixtures
for them. This position not only developed my already great ability to
function as part of a team, but also my ability to work as an individual
and effectively time-manage myself to meet deadlines. Being employed while
pursuing a degree in biology has contributed to my hard work ethic by
requiring me to spend the majority of my time outside of my job on
schoolwork.
I believe my solid college foundation and ability to excel in any situation
will make me a great addition to your company. Thank you for your
consideration of my qualifications for this position.
Sincerely,
Michael Schindelholz
