Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a highly trained pharmacist with a background in both independent and chain pharmacy. I am excited by the opportunity to work for your store. I am confident that I could step in and make an immediate impact on your team. My top priority is to ensure customer service and safety of patients and my expertise aligns with the qualifications needed for the position at your company.

While my on the job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including efficiency and accuracy, I excel in the following areas:

• Compounding pharmaceutical preparations according to the prescriptions

• Working efficiently with customers, staff and doctors’ offices

• Optimizing work flow and procedures to ensure maximum pharmacy efficiency I work with patients from any background imaginable which allows me, and forces me, to learn and practice cultural sensitivity. The population is becoming more and more diverse. Healthcare needs to adapt to this by embracing and responding to differences in patients’ expectations based on their culture. As a pharmacist, I am in the perfect position to strengthen the healthcare message by tailoring my recommendations to patients. I think it would be difficult to find a different profession that garners the immediate respect from the community that a health care profession offers. Moreover, pharmacist is unique among other healthcare professions as our accessibility naturally allows us the opportunity to do more than just counsel on the proper use of medication. It allows us to become a problem-solver, a confident, and a friend, and in that it allows us to do the rest of our job so much more effectively. We are the front-line of health care and that is a responsibility that I take very seriously. Our interactions with patients can truly change and save lives. My resume details my additional work experience. I have been known for always being courteous to customers and staff alike. Sometimes the patients are aware and thank me, sometimes they are not and don’t, but it is always a satisfying feeling when I have an impact. I am extremely enthusiastic about your store and would love the opportunity to contribute to your growing number of patients.

I look forward to speaking with you further regarding your available position. Thank you for your time and kind consideration.

Sincerely,

Devang Patel
