Dear Sir/Madam:
I am seeking employment with your company. I saw your job posting on the internet and after reading the description and qualifications I believe I would be a welcome addition and asset to your company.
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Although my resume reflects the high-tech industry of the Bay Area, I am not necessarily pursuing a high-tech position and, although as an employer you might consider me over-qualified for some positions, I consider myself as a potential employee who is open to whatever opportunities are available to me. I would simply like a position that supplements my finances, keeps me productive and allows me to become familiar with the area and meet the residents. I believe my abilities, time in the work force and willingness to learn new skills while implementing existing ones makes me an asset to any company and team, on any level.
After obtaining an Associate of Applied Science degree, I obtained my CPhT and my license issued by the California State Board of Pharmacy. Although I have worked for some major retail pharmacies, my main work has been with independent pharmacies. I also spent over a year at Mercy Hospital in Sacramento as an Maintenance Technician
I welcome the opportunity to interview with your company. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. I can be reached at the phone or email listed above.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Balinas
