Pharmacy Technician Position - Personal Statement Example

Michael Luo 241 Bacon St San Francisco, CA 94124 October 25, Alex Hom Safeway Supermarket 1335 Webster Street San Francisco, CA Dear Mr. Hom, I am writing in response to the pharmacy technician position posted on your company’s website. Last year I became a registered pharmacy technician; however, I am currently a senior majoring in Biochemistry at the University of California, Davis. After reading the job description for this position, I believe that I am appropriately qualified to take on the role.

In addition to being trilingual, I have leadership skills, pharmaceutical lab-related industry experience, and relevant drug and medicine knowledge, all of which make me an ideal candidate for this position. My work experience has helped me develop skills that will be useful for this role. Over the previous two semesters, I worked as a lab assistant at the Immunology and Virology department at UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. Here I was able to place orders for specimen and then prepare them for testing.

I also took phone calls regarding lab results or just answering lab-related questions in general. In addition to my work experience, I have honed my leadership skills as a youth organizer at the Chinese Progressive Association. During my time there, I prompted community youth members to investigate toxic contamination causes in San Francisco and then developed their communication skills for the purpose of presenting their findings at the San Francisco Board of Supervisor’s meeting. My knowledge of Cantonese and Mandarin would be a valuable addition to your company.

With many Chinese people immigrating to the United States, there will be a growing need to cater for the Chinese drug and medicine market. My knowledge of these two languages will, in my opinion, make me an excellent candidate for this position. It would be an honor to work for your company. I am available for an interview at a time of your choosing. My contact information is listed below if you need to reach me to discuss this position further. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Michael Luo (415) 269-8655 mmluo@ucdavis.
