CURRICULUM VITAE

Dear Personnel Director:

 
I suspect you’ll find very few candidates evidencing my background—and it’s one I’d like to put to work on your behalf. As you’ll see on the enclosed resume, the depth of my experience in research offers you the opportunity to hire a real pro. Moreover, previously working at various university settings allowed me to achieve three publishable results. I worked independently for the most part but I thrive in most settings. I have solid organic, biochemistry experience. I ran novel and published organic reactions with purification and characterization of finished product for three years at UT. I proudly presented various seminars after thorough review of literature in science journals. Plus I performed peptide synthesis in the industrial setting that lead to an associate in the life sciences. In the enclose resume you’ll see I have an MSc in chemistry. My passion to tackle new challenges rivals a seasoned MS graduate.  My resume showcases developed analytical skills in the earth sciences applied to biotech.  Holistically, I solve problems; in addition, my social skills, team play and overall performance models leadership.  Notwithstanding the reclusive aspect of research that epitomizes individual achievement.  Hire me and you’ll gain a chemist with a high learning curve ready to cultivate new skills, plus an employee dedicated to exemplary work.  I look forward to hear from you to schedule a meeting.

Sincerely,

Ruben Regalado, MS
