RE: Experienced Medical Laboratory Technician for hire
Dear Hiring Professional,
Your ad for a Medical Laboratory Technician caught my eye as I see it as the next logical step in my
professional development. After working for eleven years in Medical Laboratory field, I took time off from
my career to be a full time mother. At this point, I now feel like I have the exact qualifications your company
seeks:
At my previous position as Medical Laboratory Technician at the VA Medical Center, I worked as a
rotator throughout all departments. My testing and correlating results of the new MRSA equipment led to
better identification and isolation of inpatients. If your company seeks an experienced Clinical Medical
Technician, I am the right fit for the position.
If your company wants someone with duty, honesty, integrity and strong technical skills to join their
team, I'm the one. I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to
discuss this opportunity.
My sincere gratitude for your
time and consideration.
Regards,
Emily S. Richard 228-213-
