Re: Research Analyst position
Dear Mr. Wyatt,
Given the recent advances in technology such as alternative and clean sources of energy, this is a very exciting time for
BC to attract investment in the areas of technology and life sciences. This is why I was immediately drawn to this position
and its involvement in research and assessment of these technological advances. I am currently pursuing my MBA part-
time, specializing in the Management of Technology. I believe it is this degree, combined with my three years of industry
experience, which would allow me to be successful in the role of Research Analyst for your organization.
My previous experience includes working at ABC Pharmaceuticals and XYZ Biotech Inc. in the roles of Research
Associate and Manager of Business Development and Communications. I was responsible for project management,
market research, data collection and analysis, preparation of formal presentations and marketing material, and
documentation and report writing. I believe this experience would allow me to add value to this position in the following
areas:
Research and Analytical Skills: As a Research Associate at ABC, I was responsible for screening over 600
drugs for different scientific indications, which generated very large quantities of raw data. I then analyzed this
data to make recommendations to the project team with respect to the design of future studies. At XYZ Biotech, I
conducted a market analysis to evaluate the competitiveness of the company’s main drug development program
and its potential target.
Project Management: While working at ABC, I was responsible for up to three ongoing research projects
simultaneously. These projects involved pre-clinical studies to support one of the largest R&D projects at the
time. To ensure all objectives were met, I created a weekly tracking system to monitor the status of each task,
and coordinated resource allocation to maximize efficiency.
Communication: My previous positions have allowed me to gain strong interpersonal skills through daily
interactions with team members and individuals from different departments within the organization. At XYZ
Biotech, I was responsible for external communications, which allowed me to communicate with numerous key
stakeholders to promote the company and create awareness of its drug development strategy.
Based on my education and professional experience, I am confident that I would be a successful addition to the Premier’s
Technology Council. I would greatly appreciate a chance to meet with you to further discuss this role and my
qualifications, and would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Helen Baradone
