Dear Hiring Manager,
I am excited to apply for the position of Botanist with your organization. With my extensive background in horticulture and plant research, I believe I have the qualifications needed to be a successful botanist within your team.
I have a Bachelor’s in Horticulture, with emphasis on botany. For the past two years I have been working as a research assistant at the University of Washington Botanical Garden where I’ve gained valuable experience in plant ecology and botanical surveys. My duties included maintaining healthy growth of plants in greenhouses, conducting experiments to better understand the environmental requirements of different species, and conserving rare plants. I have also participated in research to develop new varieties of plants better suited for specific climates or soil conditions.
In addition to my formal education and work experience, I am an avid gardener and spend a lot of time studying the habits of different plant species. My knowledge of botany and my interest in plants have helped me to become an expert in identifying and cultivating rare species.
I am confident that I can make a significant contribution both to the research and conservation efforts of your organization. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email at any time. Thank you for your consideration; I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Your Name
