Ms Mita Pedersen
Chief MIT
Medical Imaging-Radiography Organ Imaging, Division of Operations
The Royal Children’s Hospital
50 Flemington Road
Parkville, Vic., 3052
Job reference: 30298 MIT Grade 1
Dear Ms Pedersen,
I apply with enthusiasm for the above position and enclose my resume detailing qualifications, skills and clinical experience.
The prospect of working in paediatric imaging is very appealing, especially the opportunity to improve my skills in CT and DSA
and learn in state of the art DT facilities in the new premises of The Royal Children’s Hospital.
My Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging degree was achieved at Monash University in 2014 and I hold a Statement of
Accreditation from the Australian Institute of Radiography. Clinical placements at Western Health and Epworth Hospital
provided the professional education to participate in a range of examinations, evaluate images and utilize radiation in the
diagnosis and treatment of disease. I plan to commence Master of Radiation Therapy in 2016.
My communication skills were strengthened by collecting and recording information from patients and participating in
departmental team meetings. As a person with an empathetic and calm manner I was able to put patients at ease and use
effective listening skills to respond to their enquiries. I demonstrated cultural sensitivity and the ability to offer information
clearly and concisely in patient interactions and in my dealings with other staff.
With good planning, I have been able to balance involvement in volunteering as a tutor to Sudanese refugee children, casual
work in retail and participation in competition hockey with academic study commitments. Overseas travel was
one of the ways that I learned to deal with challenges and show my ability to adapt to change and be flexible when required.
I hope I have been able to demonstrate my professional demeanour and positive attributes and welcome the opportunity to
meet with you at interview. The best way to contact me is on my mobile 0413 908 678. Thank you for considering my
application.
Yours sincerely
