Resume:
Gouldsboro, PA *****
April 19, 2012
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Mike Crawley. I wish to apply for a position at your company. I am looking for not only a job, but potentially a lifelong career. Having spent the last 10 years not only in academe but also working in the real world, I am well aware of the factors that make a company succeed or fail. My people skills and work ethic are stronger than the majority of the young college graduates one might find today. I strongly believe that I can be a valuable asset to any company. I am sure that the professors I have listed as references will whole-heartedly agree.
I am currently only 4 credits away from dual-degrees in Biochemistry and Chemical Biotechnology at ESU and am due to graduate in May. Many of my courses have prepared me for a position in your company, such as Biochemistry, Protein Chemistry, Bio-separations, Molecular Biology, Immunology, and Physical Biochemistry. All of these courses provided me with valuable laboratory experience, in addition to the theoretical component.
The attached resume further details my qualifications. I look forward to meeting you in person.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Crawley, Jr.
