Working as a Finance Customer Service Administrator within a profitable global bank has broadened my organisational skills, sense of professionalism and observation. For these reasons I believe I would be useful to your company as a Laboratory Analyst.
Throughout my degree, I have been able to develop my expertise in the scientific field, particularly in pharmaceutical analysis; consequently, I pursued this in a successful dissertation[do you mean 'thesis'?]. This involved a considerable amount of research and laboratory work, including the use of HPLC. I also gained experience in GC, AA Spectrophotometry and I am proficient in several scientific databases, as my postgraduate course required the use of {examples}. My IT skills are another asset; I have used technology extensively in both work and study. Working at the bank has been valuable in teaching me the importance of ascertaining customer's needs, and providing clear and accurate information. My responsibilities highlighted the importance of team work and enabled me to gain experience in working under pressure to meet deadlines within a professional environment.
My CV is enclosed for your consideration. I look forward hearing from you.
