response to the African Population and Health Research Center internship posting
I am pleased to write to you in response to the African Population and Health Research Center internship posting as advertised on your website. I am a Biotechnology graduate from the Technical University of Kenya, and I am confident that my experiences and qualifications make me competent for the internship position.
Accordingly, your website indicates five projects of choice and am thrilled to undertake the program drawing my focus on project two: The Changing Food Systems in Kenya and Malawi and the Challenge of Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). Looking at the requirements, I have a strong background in microbiology both theoretically and pragmatically. During my industrial attachment, I worked as a lab assistant in the mushroom division, and I was able to upgrade my skills in microbiological techniques such as observing good laboratory practices, PDA and other media preparation, propagation of pure cultures, besides other mushroom cultivation techniques as indicated in my CV.
Notably, with a graduate degree in Biotechnology, I have a plethora of knowledge and some experience with AMR. With this in mind, as per your requirements of competency in AMR research processes, I have attained the necessary knowledge and required skills to fulfill the mandate. I embrace virtues besides the desire to grow and further my comprehension, therefore, suit to observe the highest standards of professional performance such as ethics, collaboration, cultural diversity, and coordination of care besides other professional thresholds. I am profoundly congenial, organized, team player, and professional with excellent writing and communication skills. I have a proclivity for excellence in performance alongside leadership skills that are fit for the internship position.
Additionally, I am autonomous with strict adherence to the protocols set by any institution of affiliation. I work best under minimal pressure, but I can equally perform under intense pressure. For instance, after I was done with school, I kept myself busy with online writing. As a novice, I was almost overwhelmed by the pressure to meet deadlines, although I am now a veteran in the field with proficient writing skills and decorum of completing tasks before deadlines. Consequently, my writing can serve as an asset to your institution in drafting theses and reports, besides presentations.
I am convinced that with the knowledge and skills that I have attained, I am in a position to demonstrate excellence and professionalism in the internship position in your institution. I will be honored and pleased to be part of your staff. I look forward to an interview with you. Thank you in advance for accepting my letter and in case of any inquiries, feel free to contact me.
