Re: Pharmacist, Advertised in Druggists’ Digest
Dear Sir,
Regarding your recent job post in the Druggists’ Digest, I would like to offer my candidacy for the position of pharmacist.
As my resume states, I have worked as a registered pharmacist for 13 years and earned my BS in pharmacy with honors from Chicago State University.
In addition, I am keenly interested in nutrition and use my knowledge of the pharmaceutical branch of medicine and the nutritional field to provide patients with the best care that I can.
In my current position, I am responsible for the efficient management of a busy pharmacy, including –
- Filling prescriptions.
- Checking for drug interactions with other medications that the patient is taking.
- Advising patients of side effects and ways of minimizing them.
- Ensuring that I am up to date on all new medications introduced as well as those which are taken off the market.
- Maintaining the pharmacy well stocked.
I am aware which prescriptions may be filled generically and which need the specific brand name drug, and warn patients against dependency or overuse of medications.
I am comfortable handling paperwork for insurance reimbursement and for severely restricted medications.
I would be interested in meeting with you for an interview. Please be in touch with me at [Email Address] or 123-456-7890 so we can arrange a mutually convenient time.
Cordially,
Vincent Mason
