Dear Sir or Madam,

Please accept my resume for the position of radiation therapist, advertised

on the MSKCC career site. I am an alumnus of the MSKCC School of Radiation

Therapy Technology.

I am an ARRT registered radiation therapist and hold a New York State

License. I am in compliance with my CE credits in accordance with the ARRT

requirements.

I am seeking a staff radiation therapist position. My desire is to find a

position where I will be able to be part of a progressive team that cares

about patients first and foremost, and uses the most current technology to

plan and deliver radiation therapy.

I have kept my skills current and I am prepared to work with a dynamic team

of professionals. In order to stay abreast of the changes in our ever-

changing field, I volunteer my services at Advanced Radiation Oncology of

Rockland as well as have been a hands-on and highly visible leader.

I am an extremely energetic and task-oriented individual as well as someone

with great people skills who gets along well with others.

I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you in a personal interview

to learn more about this position as well as discuss what I might be able

to offer your institution and patients as a radiation therapist.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Joanne Chiocchi
