I am very interested in working for your dynamic, growing company as you move into the biotechnology arena.

  • 9 years experience as a quality control engineer with Ratcliff Pharmaceuticals, conducting stoichiometric calculations and statistical process control (Minitab)
  • Proficiency in Java programming and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • Excellent communication skills, as evidenced by weekly oral status reports 
  • U.S. Citizenship

Enclosed is a copy of my resume, a publication list, and a summary of my current research for your consideration.  I look forward to your response, and can be reached at 614.555.1212 or jada_chemist@gmail.com.  If I do not hear from you by September 1st, I will contact you to verify the status of my application.
