Re: Position of Science Educator (Exhibitions)
Dear Hiring Manager,
As a Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) student from National University of Singapore, I would like to express my interest in applying for the position of Science Educator (Exhibitions) in your company. Upon seeing the requirements for the position, I strongly believe that I possess the relevant experience, knowledge and skills.
Being a Chemistry student, conducting weekly experiments in the laboratories is an essential part of my undergraduate studies. Such rigorous curriculum has allowed me to constantly reinforce my scientific knowledge and improve my laboratory skills. Moreover, I can operate laboratory equipments as well as scientific programs and databases. I believe that these knowledge and skills will come in handy for the designing and testing of demonstrations and experiments for the Science Centre.
Furthermore, I am also a member of the hosting and radio broadcasting wing of the campus radio station, NUS Radiopulze. I hosted several major external and school events such as Singapore Street Festival and NUS Commencement 2011. Through hosting, I have managed to hone my communication skills. I am not afraid of speaking in front of a large crowd and have no trouble when it comes to the delivering of lines. I am confident that these public speaking experiences of mine will come in useful when I am doing programs in front of any general public visitors.
Moreover, my vacation job experience at Just Education Tuition Centre Pte Ltd has enhanced my interpersonal and teaching skills. I was a frontline staff as well as a science tutor for primary and secondary levels at the tuition centre. In my line of work, I have dealt with nasty customers, and am aware of the ways to handle such situations. These experiences will allow me to handle any unforeseen circumstances while doing live demonstrations at the science centre. In addition, I have learnt to engage and capture the attention of my students ranging from the age of 7-16 from teaching Science tuition classes at the tuition centre.
Enclosed is my resume for your perusal. I have the faith that with the aforementioned experiences, scientific knowledge and skills, I will be an asset to the company. I can be reached at the fore-mentioned contact details should you wish to have a further discussion with me. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully yours,

Fiona
