Dear whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my genuine interest for the pharmacist position. I am a recent PharmD graduate from Midwestern University filled with energy and willingness to serve. My rotation experience in various settings prepared me well to overcome any difficulties or challenges that I may face in the future. I have the appropriate skills, knowledge, and most importantly, am a team player, all of which are required to become a successful pharmacist.
I will provide comprehensive pharmaceutical care and handle all aspects of filling prescriptions, provide drug regimen review, as well as serve in all other aspects of service that is both personal and efficient as required, while ensuring utmost compliance with local, state, federal laws, and institutional practices. My years of experience in serving others through volunteer work and community service has helped me to develop high level of communication skills to connect with others on a more personal level, all of which is essential for successful patient care and outcome.
With my positive energy and willingness to learn I believe myself to be well qualified for the position. I am very excited for the opportunity to be a part of the team and would look forward to your response at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jin Ryu
