876549 – Graduate Entry 2012
Dear Mr Cortez
Please accept my application for the position of Graduate Radiation Therapist as advertised
in the Queensland Government website on 10 April 2012. As requested I submit a current
resume, details of two referees and a copy of my academic transcript.
One of the clinical placements I completed during my Master of Medical Radiations (Radiation
Therapy) course at Monash University was in a large public hospital that incorporated a
specialist clinic for women. It was a rewarding learning experience and confirmed for me a
strong interest in the provision of health care to women residing in rural Australia. This, along
with the opportunity to work in a new healthcare facility, with state of the art equipment,
attracts me to the position at Kirwan Hospital for Women.
My knowledge and practical skills in the imaging and radiation sciences have been further
developed through clinical placements in both private and public settings. This involved
learning more about techniques such as MRI, Ultrasound, CT and DEXA in patient treatment
plans. In my placements I was able to develop skills in recording and maintaining patient
information with precision and confidentiality. My organisational skills and good approach to
team work helped me to deal with very busy schedules and the needs of patients efficiently.
I recognise the importance of effective communication skills in patient care and my interest in
helping people enables me to build rapport easily, offer assistance in a calm and professional
way and to respond to patient enquiries clearly and concisely.
Sporting interests outside of work and a love of travel help me to cope with pressures of work
and have provided the chance to meet people from a variety of backgrounds. I can move
interstate for employment readily and am confident my adaptability and flexibility will help me
to settle in quickly.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to talk it over at
interview.
Yours sincerely
Rhoda Radiation
