I am writing in response to your advertisement for a Marketing Manager
in last week’s Sunday Times. I am 39 years old, Brazilian, with a medical degree from the University of Sao Paulo, and an MBA from the University of California, Los Angles. I qualified as a Medical Doctor in 1982 and graduated from U.C.L.A. in 1988. I speak fluent English and Portuguese, and have a good knowledge of Spanish.
I have worked for Medilab here in Rio since 1992. I am in charge of clinical trials for new antibiotics. I have experience of the pharmaceutical industry with Schering Plough, where I spent two years, and Merck (eighteen months).
Before I started my two-year MBR course (1986-1988), I worked in Peru for a medical charity. I am keen to find a position which combines my experience of marketing and medicine, and I would particularly like to work with an international company. I got married in 1991 and we now have two children, bust we are happy to move overseas. My wife works as a nurse, so she can move easily.
I am hard-working, independent, and enjoy a challenge. I can provide full references if necessary. Please find enclosed my resume.
