Dear Recruiter,
I have a unique skill set that I believe may be of value to both of us and would like to talk with you regarding those skills.
I am an experienced, hard-working Chemist with a continuous drive for excellence, knowledge expansion and many years of work in a variety of differing fields including Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, Toxicology, Wire, Dust Suppression, and Polymeric Fertilizer. Experienced to deliver top of the line quality control testing on raw materials, in-process pulls and final product following USP/NF, EP and JP testing methodology while employing cGMP and following safety/regulatory compliance procedures. Familiar with chain of custody, DEA and FDA regulations. Strong interpersonal skills with proven abilities to interface with members of laboratory staff, research and development and sales staff. I have also been involved in product develop working closely with patent holders within the Dust Suppression and Fertilizer industries. During these years, my experiences have led to many opportunities to lead teams and instruct/report on research findings to coworkers and department leaders. A majority of the team work involved problem solving, production improvement and new product development.
In 2007, I took time to pursue a personal interest of mine and obtained my RN licensure. Have been employed since as a RN in multiple roles from Staff/Floor Nurse to Facility Supervisor. While I have enjoyed providing care to those in need in many different arenas, and have acquired knowledge useful in everyday life for myself, family and friends, it is my strong desire to return to my first love of Chemistry.
As you can see, I have years of knowledge in both Chemistry and Nursing that should blend together well and be an asset to your company. Please feel free to contact me via phone or email noted above. I look forward to speaking with you. Thank you kindly for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Kelly J. Coleman
