Dear Mr. Abacus,
I am writing to apply for the position of Biological Technician, as
advertised on your homepage March 10, 1996. Your recent move into the field
of food safety and quality is of particular interest to me as I plan to
pursue a career in this area.
Recently I graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of
Science (Honours) majoring in Biology. This program allowed me the
opportunity to learn and practice the various microbiological analysis
procedures necessary for this type of research. Of particular relevance is
the research project I completed in my final year on Paralytic Shellfish
Poison. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of the types
and causes of bacterial food poisoning, as well as the necessary extraction
and bioassay procedures used for detection. As many of my lab assignments
involved working in groups, I have developed strong teamwork skills, and
enjoy such an environment.
I will contact you the week of March 25, 1996 to ensure that you received
this resume and to answer any questions which you may have. Thank you for
your consideration.
