Dear Hiring Manager
I am highly interested in the Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS) position.
With a solid foundation in clinical diagnostics and a growing passion for laboratory science, I am excited about a good opportunity to contribute to your institution’s renowned research.
In my 11 years of practice both in Egypt and UAE, I have honed my skills in diagnostic procedures, patient care, and collaboration with laboratory teams. My clinical experience has provided me with an extensive understanding of diagnostic tests and the interpretation of results, which are crucial skills for a Clinical Laboratory Scientist.
I started this career shift back in 2016 but was only able to work before I move to USA. My transition to a Clinical Laboratory Scientist role is motivated by a deep-seated interest in laboratory in an environment that fosters innovation and excellence in laboratory science. I have proactively pursued additional coursework and training in laboratory techniques and clinical diagnostics by attending Immunology, Hematology and Clinical Chemistry classes at UC San Diego, which has further prepared me for this role. My attention to detail, analytical skills, and commitment to rigorous scientific standards align well with the demands of a Clinical Laboratory Scientist.
I received my ASCP certification and CLS license in April 2024 and actively looking for a new position to join immediately.
Thank you for considering my application. I am looking forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background and skills can contribute to the continued success of your laboratory services.
Best Regards
