Dear Clinical Laboratory Manager or Director:

As an ASCP certified Cytotechnologist with CAP pap proficiency test certification and an ASCP certified Histotechnologist, I am seeking to pursue my long-term personal and professional goal of a challenging career as a Cytotechnologist within a hospital environment or a clinical reference laboratory for the variety of specimens and the opportunity to participate in clinical cytology procedures. I am currently worked at Walter Reed Medical Center as a Molecular Technologist.

Most recently 5 years, I worked as a Cytotechnologist and a Molecular Scientist in the clinical laboratory involved in collecting and preparing specimens, interpreting them using a microscope and other medical equipment, and delivering test results to physicians and patients on time with accuracy at Walter Reed Medical Center, Theranostix reference Lab, Lab Corp and PCG molecular.

Let me briefly highlight the skills, values and contributions I will bring to your healthcare facility:

* Dedicated commitment to a long and successful career as a Cytotechnologist.

* Excellent patient relations/evaluation, time-management, troubleshooting, interpersonal and communication skills, developed through experience at clinical laboratory as a Cytotechnologist at different clinical laboratories

* Ability to perform independently, or as part of a team, building cooperative working relationships among management and support staff in order to meet goals and achieve successful results.

* Aptitude to collaborate with physicians to implement protocol; provide new product evaluations and procurement.

* Proven success in prioritizing time and completing intense workloads under severe pressure to attain goals and meet project deadlines, achieving desired results.

* An energetic, hardworking and self-motivated work ethic, coupled with a flexible approach to assignments.

Since a resume can neither fully detail all my skills and accomplishments nor convey my potential to your Cytology Department, I would welcome a personal interview to further explore the merging of my education, experience, ambition and enthusiasm with your facility's objectives. I am available immediately and willing to relocate. I can be reached at 267-***-**** or Email: ac3x3b@r.postjobfree.com

Thank you for your consideration and I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely Yours,

Richard Wang, ASCP CT /HTL
