Customer Service Grand Rapids

*** **** ****** ***** ******, MI 231-***-**** ***.****.*@*****.***

To Whom it May Concern,

I have worked both in clinical and non-clinical laboratories with five years experience combined. In that time, I

have developed a strong working knowledge of the movement of specimens though the lab, while demonstrating

my dedication to the quality of work produced, along with learning a great knowledge of the equipment and

reagents used. I am very interested in advancing my career in histology. I currently reside in Grand Rapids, MI; but, I

am interested in opportunities throughout Michigan.

Through my experiences working in both histology and analytical laboratories, I have become familiar with the

running and troubleshooting of many types of laboratory equipment. In addition to the scientific and laboratory

knowledge I have acquired in histology and analytical chemistry, I also have a strong mechanical background. I have

found a niche for problem solving, a general knowledge of how things work, and being able to relate information to

customers. I am an honest, reliable, and a dedicated individual with a great deal of ambition.

I would like to set up an interview to further discuss my interest in becoming a Histotechnologist. Thank you for

your time and consideration while reviewing my resume. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Adam Cox
