SINGAPORE GENERAL HOSPITAL
Outram Road
Singapore 169608.
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in applying the position of Medical / Laboratory Technologists in the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) which I came across in SGH internet portal recently. I will be graduating from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Science in Life Science in 2012. I believe that I would be a suitable candidate for this job position with my years of learning in related field in NUS.
In my years of study in NUS, I have worked with a Bioinformatics mini project. In that project, I have performed BLAST sequencing using BLAST software and I have worked with a team of 5 colleagues to update T3SE protein database. Thus, I am comfortable to work with other people in the laboratories as well as others from other units.
In additional to that, I have undertaken Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme in Science (UROPS). It is a programme that has given me the opportunity to work in a research environment. I have learnt to perform cell subculture, SDS PAGE, PCR, ChIP, real time PCR and western blotting. I believe with the skills that I have learnt through UROPS, I would be able to handle the laboratory tests meticulously and independently in order to provide accurate results.
For your information, I have participated in a biodiversity field trip research programme in Costa Rica. I have carried out some experiments in the night such as gaining data about sea turtles and bats at night. I am able to work shifts if required to do so. I believe I can contribute the knowledge and skills of my specialisation which is biomedical science to the hospital. I am keen in working in SGH which I believe it would be an inspiring working environment to provide me opportunities to learn and improve myself. It would be an honour to work with other elites in a prestigious hospital like SGH.
I do hope that you will look favourably at my application. Please find my enclosed resume for your review. I can be reached anytime via email at xinying.yew@gmail.com or my mobile phone number, 91359772. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time.
Yours Faithfully,
Yew Xin Ying
Hey!
ReplyDeleteFor paragraph 2, should it be " work on a Bioinformatics..."?
On a general scale, I think the letter is quite well written, but perhaps it could do with a little bit more of personal skills acquired for instance analytical or critical evaluation instead of merely learning technical skills. This would serve to differentiate you from the other applicants as technical skills are easier to acquire than say how to think critically.
I'm thinking using "for your information" doesn't sound very courteous in my opinion. You can afford elaborating on what BLAST is too as I'm thinking the HR manager usually don't know what it is.
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeletePretty good! haha. Im not really sure about the science industry, but i think qualifications and portfolio should be important in this line? Your research experiences in labs will definitely be a plus point for you i think! Also, same thing as Julian, "for your information" does seems alittle abrupt. haha, doesn't really flow with the rest of the letter.
I think overall is good.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you have included some relevant experiences in your letter, maybe you could have elaborated more on the details and skills that you have learnt.
Anyway I think by mentioning elites in "It would be an honour to work with other elites in a prestigious hospital like SGH." may sound a little on the negative side. Perhaps changing to a more general word would be better?
Enlightening! Thanks for the comments :)
