Dear Sir/Ma’am,
I am seeking a laboratory technician position.
I was homeschooled by my mother until 6th grade. Because of health issues she was unable to
continue my education. However, I had such a desire to learn that while the rest of my siblings
quit school, I, with no supervision, adhered to my studies. When applying to Dixie State College,
I took and scored above average on the ACT test. Since that time I have graduated with my
bachelor of science in biology. I was ranked first in my graduating class, graduating summa cum
laude and was valedictorian for both my associate and bachelor degree. I competed and was
awarded a paid summer internship at Virion Systems, Rockville MD in 2009. While working at
Virion, I have gained experience in laboratory techniques and animal studies.
My struggle for an education has given me a unique work ethic and a strong motivation for
success. These qualities coupled with my laboratory experience make me an ideal candidate for a
position in your company.
I hope you will consider me for an interview. I am available to meet with you at a time of your
convenience.
Thank you for reviewing my resume.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Putnam
