Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to express my interest in the Assistant Chemist Position listed on Jobs.st701.com on 20th August 2010. I am a Chemistry Major student from National University of Singapore, comprehensively trained and experienced in laboratory techniques. I understand that your company values innovation, hence my creativity in chemical synthesis and expertise in laboratory skills will be of value-add during the research process.
My knowledge as a Chemistry Major includes complete training in laboratory work and report writing. Some of my laboratory techniques include Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Infrared Spectroscopy, Mass Spectroscopy, UV-VIS Spectroscopy, High Pressure Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography. I am also equipped with the skills of delivering concise yet detailed laboratory reports, and have a sound knowledge of semiconductor chemistry. My experience working in the lab throughout the four years has enabled me to carry out experiments effectively in the shortest time possible, which is in line with your company's mission to generate cost-effective products.
Experience has taught me how to build strong interpersonal relationships yet also self-reliance. I have the ability to work in a team or independently. Actively taking part in several extra-curricular activities has equipped me with effective time management skills, discipline and commitment. I am able to communicate efficiently having worked as a teacher before. Experience in the supply chain industry has highlighted the importance of valuing customers; hence I would be customer-oriented when doing research, in line with your company’s core value, customer focus. As I advocate eco-friendliness, I will be dedicated towards designing green products, promoting your company’s environmental image.
In view of the objectives and openings of Advanced Green Solutions Pte Ltd, I believe my expertise is in line with your company’s needs. I will contact you next week. If there are any queries, please call me at 98776455 or email me at u0805167@nus.edu.sg. I look forward to hearing from you.
Enclosed is my resume. Thank you for reviewing my letter.
Yours Faithfully
Deng Wanqi

Hello Wanqi!
ReplyDeleteYou did a very good job of showing how you could/intend to contribute to the company.
Some suggestions:
1. "...hence my creativity in chemical synthesis and expertise in laboratory skills will be of value-add during the research process"
-How about elaborating on your creativity? Any examples?
2. "Experience has taught me how to build strong interpersonal relationships yet also self-reliance."
-Experience from CCA? Group work? Vacation jobs?
-I think the "yet also self-reliance" could be changed to "and become more self-reliant, thus I am able to work in a team as well as independently."
- extra-curricular --> co-curricular
3. "I am able to communicate efficiently having worked as a teacher before."
-How about changing to something like "Previous teaching experience(s) has greatly increased my ability to communicate effectively.
4. "As I advocate eco-friendliness.."
-I think it would sound 'nicer' if it's changed to "As an advocate of eco-friendliness.."
And lastly, in the last paragraph, do state that you are requesting for an interview.
I'm not very good with application letters, but I hope my suggestions will be somewhat helpful!
Thanks Vanessa! Yup they are useful! Will heed your advice =) Keep going for your proposal! :)
