Dear Mr.Ms. Last Name,

Please accept my resume for the Research Technician position posted on MonsterTrak. My background and skills in lab techniques will prove to be an effective match for your qualifications.

I have a BS in Chemistry, and a 3.8 GPA. I have taken several lab course in BioChemistry, where I worked with chromatography, ELISA, and southern and western blotting techniques.

In addition to the lab work, I recorded, calculated, and analyzed data, and prepared reports. I worked closely with a team of researchers and learned the value of good lab practice. I work well as a team member, am very reliable and organized, and willing to learn.

Thank you for your consideration.
