Melbourne, Vic., 3004

Dear Ms Smith,

I forward this letter, and attach my resume, as application for the position of Analytical Chemist – Drug Analysis, as

advertised on Seek, with job reference 22755151.

Having graduated from Monash University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science (Honours) I worked

initially as a teaching assistant with the University of Otago, followed by employment with Howlett Research Institute as

a research assistant. In 2013, I commenced a Masters of Pharmaceutical Science with Monash University to extend my

science research capabilities and laboratory techniques.

In both my honours and masters education I gained experience in the use of GC-MS and LC-MS as part of my research.

Additionally, I became competent in solid phase and liquid/liquid extraction techniques and frequently used Agilent

Chemstation and Thermo Xcalibur MS software to maintain and analyse data.

As someone who enjoys collaborating with others I believe I can be a productive team member in this role. My friendly

and easy going disposition has helped me adapt to different situations and build effective working relationships with

others.

My communication skills are well developed and have been demonstrated in the completion of clear and concise report

writing, grant application documentation and research summaries for conferences and seminars. Delivering feedback

as a teaching assistant and in the supervision of students I understand the importance of good listening skills and using

both formal and informal methods to exchange information.

I have a current driving licence and understand the requirement for a police check.

This role especially interests me as it provides the opportunity to work as an analytical chemist in a science field of

particular interest to me and the chance to develop skills using chromatography related instrumentation.

I hope to have the opportunity to discuss my application with you further. Please contact me on M: 0422 786 678 if

you require more information.

Thank you and regards,

Yours sincerely

Flynn Farrow
