Dear hiring manager,
Re: Medical Office Assistant
Please consider my application for the part-time medical office assistant position at your Bayswater Family Practice, as advertised on Mar 14, 2022 on University of British Columbia Careers Online Website. I am currently a third-year computer science student at University of British Columbia.
I am a hard-working individual who can work independently and effectively under a fast-paced environment. As a computer science student, computers and problem solving are no foreign to me. You will note from the enclosed resume that I have worked in a busy medical office in London Health Sciences Centre, and I am confident to say that I am very familiar with the typical medical office administration tasks, such as filing, reminder calls, sending faxes and mails, booking appointments for new patients in the system etc. My meticulous attention to details and ability to learn fast have been endorsed by many of my previous employers.
I also had experiences working in a physiotherapy/chiropractor/message therapy clinic as a receptionist for one year. I was able to manage two different appointment scheduling/patient record-keeping systems while processing payments and filing tasks. I was able to gain interpersonal skills, good telephone manner and build friendly relationships with staff and patients.
In addition, I had work experiences as a research assistant in various labs. These experiences have taught me effective communications and time management skills. I am confident in my skills and commitment to work hard, and my capacity and willingness to learn quickly. I am passionate about what your company does, and I would love the opportunity to work with your team.
I would be more than happy to discuss this position further with you in person. You can reach me at (647) 622-6689 or by email at duffy.du@hotmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Duffy Du

Dear Dr. Thorn,
Good morning, and I hope this email finds you well! I was a work-study student in your lab working on sequencing fungal strains from October 2018 to April 2019.
Last time I updated you was a year ago, and I was still applying for grad school. It may sound surprising, but I am actually changing my career plans. I am currently in the process of applying to a Medical Office Assistant position at a family practice. I am wondering if you would feel comfortable acting as my referee again. I learned a lot about wet lab research while working in your lab as a work study student 2 years ago. Your great reference last time really helped me in getting a summer research position, and I believe you would be able to provide the kind of insight into my skills that would strengthen my application this time as well.
If you’re willing to provide a strong letter, I would be more than happy to arrange an online meeting at your convenience if that would be helpful. I will also provide my updated resume and any other material you would like.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Sincerely,
Duffy Du
