“Dear Ms. Loretta Wilson,

I am applying for the position of DNA Analyst with Bio-Reference Laboratories, Inc.

I have a bachelor’s degree in forensic sciences and I took undergraduate courses that focused on biochemistry, gene development, immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases. My studies also consisted of spending time in a laboratory where I learned about the different types of equipment and how to use them correctly.

I have the ability to follow strict protocols when handling and testing DNA and I possess excellent writing skills needed to keep accurate and detailed reports describing every part of the process and the findings. I also have very strong verbal skills needed to convey information with other professionals concerning the tests performed and the results. When necessary, I have the ability to testify in court to explain my findings and how the results were determined.

I have the ability to perform routine maintenance checks on the equipment to help keep them functioning correctly and to report any problem, no matter how small it may seem.

I understand the importance of using extreme caution when working with DNA and I follow the safety procedures at all times to prevent the possible spread of diseases. I adhere to a high ethical standard and maintain confidentiality at all times. I understand the responsibility that goes along with this position and I am confident that I have the knowledge and skills to be a perfect match for this job.

I hope to meet with you soon to discuss the position in person and you can reach me for an interview by calling (555)-555-5555.

Respectfully,

I am very excited about the Forensic Scientist position that has recently become available with State Patrol Wisconsin.

Gathering evidence from crime scenes is an exciting and rewarding career that has always fascinated me. For this reason, I pursued the education and training needed to qualify to work in a crime lab. I have earned a bachelor’s degree in forensic science and I am currently working on my master’s.

My studies consisted of criminal justice, biochemistry and toxicology and I have completed an internship where I gained extensive lab experience that you can only receive by working with a professional. My experience includes learning how to handle evidence correctly, which includes identifying, labeling, recording and preserving the evidence until needed.

This hands-on experience has also helped me build outstanding organizational and record-keeping skills. My verbal and written skills are excellent and I have the ability to communicate efficiently with all levels of management. I understand court procedures and I have the ability to be a credible witness if necessary by explaining what and how evidence was obtained and the impact it has on the case.

I possess excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills along with the ability to detect even the smallest detail. I know that I am the right person for this position and after viewing the attached resume, I am confident that you will agree.
