To the attention of: Hiring authority
Hello sir or ma’am, are you in need of an experienced and formally trained ARRT registered, CRT
certified, has a fluoroscopy permit, easy to get along with, and a highly reliable diagnostic x-ray technologist?
Look no further, my name is Tommy Nguyen and I am writing to express my desire to fill the position. With
my education, experience, compassion, and team spirit, I am confident that I can help your diagnostic imaging
team provide high quality radiographs and patient care. Additionally, my time in the United States Marine
Corps has helped me to fully grasp the concept and value of hard work and dedication of myself to the
betterment of my team in order to reach a common goal.
I have worked at three hospitals and one outpatient clinic, all very different from one another. I also
have experience working with patients of all ages, backgrounds and mental and physical conditions. I graduated
from Pima Medical Institute which runs a very respectable and JRCERT accredited radiography program that
has had a 100% first try ARRT exam pass rate for 10 consecutive years. In addition to my radiography
qualifications, I am also Venipuncture certified and CPR certified.
I want to assure you that although I am a recent graduate, I can be a great asset to your team because I
am an eager learner, easily adaptable, and highly reliable. If you have any further questions on my qualifications
please see my resume that I have attached. Thank you for taking the time to read through my cover letter.
Best Regards,
Tommy Nguyen, R.T.(R)(ARRT)
