Engineer Technician

To HR

My name is Vincent Li. I'm a hard working and responsible person with

great interpersonal and communication skills. I'm very interested in

developing a long term career at your company as an engineer, technician or

research associate. I have worked in various research-associate positions

where I have developed quantitative and analytical skills. I've also worked

in Beckman Coulter as tech support engineer and gained great instrument

trouble shooting, maintenance, calibrating and repair skills. I now work at

international process solution as a calibration and maintenance technician.

IPS sub-contract me to Impax, I've learned how to calibrate and maintain

complex systems in Impax. I go into GMP environment everyday. I have always

been passionate about bio-technology and graduated with bio-chemical

engineering degree from UC Davis. I really want to get back into a real bio-

tech position where I can continue to develop process related skills.

Moreover, I'm a very dedicated and devoted person so I should become a very

contributed employee in your company in a short time. I'm also a good team

player. I'm proficient in Microsoft Office after taking these finance

classes.(MS Excel, Words, PowerPoint and MS Project) Thank you.

My supervisor at IPS can give me very good references. I'm opened for

any shifts and even weekends and nights. The reason I'm applying is because

I don't want to cross the bridge. I want a job that is closer to home so I

can be more devoted to the job. Impax is a little too far for me.
