Re: Professional Writing Team
Dear Fellow Students,
I am writing this to express my sincere interest in becoming a committed member of your ENGL 301 Technical Writing class team. I am a recent Integrated Sciences graduate student from the University of British Columbia and have also secured a healthcare position for the past 7 years in which competent teamwork skills are heavily relied on. I believe that my strong work experience and education make me a competitive candidate for this position.
Alongside my academic career, I have been working as a Pharmacy Assistant through which I have had the opportunity to enhance my time management, task prioritization, and quick problem-solving skills while being constantly challenged out of my comfort zone. I have learned to be an efficient team worker and communicate with clarity to a diverse range of individuals. I also worked as a research assistant at the UBC Visual Performance & Oculomotor Mobility Lab which further encouraged me to think critically as well as enabled me to learn how to analyze statistical and graphical data.
I believe one of my greatest strengths is the ability to adapt according to the task or situation at hand. This skill allows me to display creativity, determination, and compassion while trying to accomplish my goals. I am an enthusiastic individual that can be relied upon to carry out the roles outlined, efficiently and professionally in a self-motivated manner. I would like to improve my ability to quickly put into words what I am thinking. I often dwell on my thoughts longer than time spent actually writing.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon and discussing how we can build a healthy and dynamic team this semester.
Sincerely,
Pooja Patel
