Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing in response to the position of Chemist. I believe that my experience, skills and educational background make me an excellent candidate for this position.

As you will note on my resume, I have more than five-years of laboratory experience as a chemist in pharmaceutical manufacturing. I have hands-on experience in testing for raw materials, in process samples, finished products, and stability study by HPLC, GC, TLC, IR, UV, Auto-Dissolution, KF apparatus, and wet chemistry. I have sound working knowledge of method development, validation, and transfer. I am also knowledgeable of technical writing for new method, method validation protocol and report. In addition, I am familiar with USP/BP/EP, SOPs, cGMPs/GLPs, and FDA/ICH guidelines.

I have a Master Degree in Chemistry from York University, and I am trained for cGMPs/GLPs, method development/validation, as well as other required update according to the laboratory. These programs have provided me with the knowledge and skills required by the pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, I am a highly organized and result-oriented person. I am also an excellent team worker and enjoy working with a variety of people to strive for high quality work.
