Re: Analyst
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please accept my application for the position of an Analyst in your organization. I have been working in the field of Information Technology with various capacities ranging from data analysis/ reporting, database/ software development, and software quality assurance testing. I am very familiar with functional and non-functional software testing through my involvement in software application interfaces to exchange patient data. . I have considerable experience in functional product enhancements, system upgrades, and integration of testing to meet business, organizational needs. I have carried out statistical analysis of data using Microsoft Excel and have prepared analysis reports including tables and graphical charts for data visualization. I have experienced in using the SAS software
Recently, I have worked as a data processing analyst at Alberta Health Services dealing with confidential Influenza immunization data. Prior to this, I have worked as an Operational Analyst at Alberta Energy and I was responsible for the User Acceptance Testing of Land Automated Mineral Agreement System (LAMAS2) project software. Before joining Alberta Energy, I worked as a Software Quality Assurance Tester with APPROACH (Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease - www.approach.org) from 2008 to March of 2014. The software is used as a clinical research application throughout hospitals in Alberta and as a research database. In all of my assigned tasks, I have demonstrated a methodical, detail-oriented thorough approach in identifying and documenting issues in a timely and effective manner.
I am friendly and get along well with co-workers and stakeholders. I have well developed organizational skills with the ability to manage my time effectively to meet tight project deadlines. Since I am a self-starter and a quick learner, I am confident that I am capable of learning additional skills required to accomplish assigned tasks with minimal supervision. My data gathering and analysis experience combined with my strong problem solving and project management skills make me an excellent candidate for this job.
