Dear Sir/Mdm,

APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF MEDICAL/LABORATORY TECHNOLOGIST

I read with great interest regarding the brochure for the medical/laboratory technologist position that was handed out during the NUS Career Fair at SGH allocated booth on 28 January 2010. After spending some quality time with the attending personnel, I was very impressed with the job description and I would very much like to be part of the Allied Health Professionals in serving the needs of the general health population.

I will be graduating from National University of Singapore with a Bachelor degree (Hons) in Life Sciences specializing in Biomedical Sciences. The highly intensive modular structure has equipped me with in depth understanding of the human anatomy as well as microorganisms’ role in pathological disorders. This is especially highlighted in the microbiology module I took which also equipped me with useful laboratory techniques that are relevant in the position that I am applying for. In addition to that, the Honours project that I am undertaking required me to experiment with pathogenic bacteria which are highly needed in a microbiology lab that deals with a host of dangerous microorganisms. The exposure to real laboratory working conditions and more sophisticated techniques would definitely be of great value to the health establishment.     

I am confident that my ability to work with others as well as being independent would qualify me to handle the responsibilities as a lab technologist. During my course of study in NUS, I interact well with my Japanese Professor and post-doc who are mentoring me in the Honours project, despite the language barrier. Juggling experiments with regular classes also highlights my ability to prioritise my work in a tight schedule. Work experience wise, I am used to the clinical setup as I was a combat medic during National Service, dispensing drugs and conducting medical triage. I am also currently working as a part time sales assistant in a pharmacy, recommending the right drugs to customers. Thus, with relevant research background, job experience and the drive to aid in the health industry, you would find the right person in me to fulfil the demands of the applied position.

I would very much like to speak with you further about how I can make valuable contribution to SGH. Please feel free to contact me at +65 9XXX XXXX or by email at XXX@gmail.com. I am looking forward to a favourable response from you.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Bam
