Re: Pharmacy Technician Job Position

Dear Mr. Shumake:

As a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) with Virginia licensure, I am writing to express my sincere interest in joining your multidisciplinary healthcare team. I have recently moved to Newville from Oldtown, and I am actively seeking a full-time position in healthcare.

My background includes three years of practical experience working as a pharmacy tech in both retail and hospital formulary positions. Highlights of my qualifications include:

· Three years of experience in pharmacy tech

· Experience in retail and hospital pharmacy operations

· Comprehensive knowledge of medical terminology, third-party formularies, plan limitations, apothecary and metric systems of weights and measures, and pharmaceutical calculations

· A proven track record of commended performance in all pharmacy tech positions held

After completing my pharmacy technician certification at Newville University in 2005, I joined HVC's retail pharmacy team. Here I served as a pharmacy tech for one of the chain's highest-volume drugstores in Oldtown. I achieved top marks on my annual reviews throughout my employment with HVC, earning consistent recognition for my attention to detail in filling prescriptions, measuring medications, and keeping customer records and insurance information up to date.

In 2009, I accepted a pharmacy tech position with St. Blaise Medical Center, working in its hospital formulary. As in my previous position, I was commended for my accuracy, attention to detail, and exceptional productivity. I also expanded my knowledge of dosages and indications for a broadened array of medical conditions during my time with this Level 1 trauma center.

I would greatly welcome the opportunity for an interview, and I will follow up with you in the coming week to explore this possibility. In the meantime, I am enclosing my resume for your review. I hope you will not hesitate to contact me at (555) 555-9421 or via email at to arrange a meeting. Thank you for your time; I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,


Alexander Paul
