Aquarist Example

Dear Ms. Jacobs,

When I saw the ad for an Aquarist at the nationally known Pacific Aquarium, I rushed to submit my attached resume for your review and consideration. With a degree in Marine Biology, an internship at the Springfield Aquarium and five years experience as an Aquarist at the Columbus Zoo, I would bring my expertise and love of the field to the Pacific Aquarium.

In my current position at the Columbus Zoo’s Aquarium, I am responsible for maintaining exhibit aesthetics and water quality, acquiring specimens, feeding and maintaining animal health, developing the education, training and media relations and assisting in the design and installation of new exhibits. My efforts in these areas have elevated the Zoo’s reputation to compete with other, larger aquariums in terms of visitor interaction and satisfaction as well as the variety of specimens available for viewing by the public.

I understand that my primary focus as an aquarist is care-giving, by ensuring that life within the aquarium is conducive to the plants and animals, that the creatures have all the need to live well, and that the exhibits and displays remain clean for public viewing.

I look forward to your call to discuss how I can contribute to the already stellar reputation of the Pacific Aquarium. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Lisa Lynn
