To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to inform you of my interest for the role of a Dietitian in your company.

I obtained my degree certification from Qatar University, entitled Bachelors in Science of Human Nutrition. Furthermore, I have attained a verification statement indicating the completion of the Foreign Dietitian Education Program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The variety of skills I have acquainted myself with during the time I interned in Hamad Medical Corporation will allow me to blend in with the organizational culture of any organization and propel the team I work with to new heights of success.

My enthusiastic involvement in many activities outside my responsibilities has served me well in nurturing my strong leadership and interpersonal skills. I am a strong planner and a problem solver who readily adapts to change, works well with teams and exceeds expectations. I am also able to provide evidence-based solutions to multiple problems and meet tight deadlines without compromising work quality. These qualities have been reflected in my recent experience with interning in Hamad Medical Corporation.

Together with the cover letter, I have attached my Curriculum Vitae for your full consideration. I appreciate your time reviewing my application, and it would be a pleasure for me to work under one of the leading medical organization in the Gulf, which focuses on making a difference to the health of the population under a challenging and developing environment.

Yours Sincerely, Bushra Qamar
