Dear Ms. Eileen Ho,

APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF ASSISTANT CHEMIST

Further to your advertisement in Jobstreet.com on 29 January 2010, I would like to apply for the position of Assistant Chemist with Wyeth Nutritionals. Please find my resume enclosed.

I am currently in my graduating year of the Bachelor of Applied Science (Hons.) majoring in Food Science and Technology (FST) at the National University of Singapore (NUS). In addition to my degree, I was attached to DSM Nutritional Products Asia Pacific in the quality assurance and control unit for five months. This opportunity has familiarized me with the operation of various laboratory instruments, which include HPLC, GC and AAS equipments as well as providing me experience in the nutritional industry. I am eager to apply my scientific knowledge and skills if I were to be given an opportunity to contribute to your company. Although I may not meet the minimum working experience required, I possess a keen interest in learning and enjoy challenges.

I believe I have the qualities that the job requires – an organized and meticulous individual with excellent analytical and problem solving skills. My position as a temporary clerk in Standard Chartered Bank has improved my organizational skills. As I do not believe that grades are the be-all and end-all of a student’s self-worth, I have taken the time to participate in co-curricular activities and take up leadership roles to develop my communication and interpersonal skills. Such examples include the NUS Rotaract Club and the NUS Food Science and Technology Society. Besides, I feel that I have demonstrated time management skills and self-motivation by balancing my co-curricular activities with study.

I am largely motivated to seek employment with Wyeth Nutrition due to its excellent reputation of R&D in pediatric nutrition. I would find the post of Assistant Chemist a valuable and exciting working experience, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. I am available for interview at your convenience anytime.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,




(my name)
