Hiring Team,
RAS Luxury Skincare
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the position of Microbiologist at RAS Luxury Skincare. As a postgraduate in Biotechnology with strong academic and hands-on training in microbiological testing, aseptic handling, and laboratory instrumentation, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to your team’s commitment to quality, purity, and innovation in skincare.
During my master’s program at the Central University of Rajasthan, I gained experience in media and buffer preparation, microbial culture techniques, and maintaining lab hygiene and biosafety standards. My thesis involved working under controlled sterile conditions, reinforcing my attention to precision and good laboratory practices (GLP). I am comfortable working with essential lab instruments such as autoclaves, laminar airflow cabinets, incubators, and microscopes—skills directly aligned with the role’s requirements.
Additionally, I am well-versed in maintaining accurate documentation and have practiced this through detailed recording of experimental data and SOP compliance throughout my academic projects. My academic exposure to microbiology, combined with my practical skills, allows me to understand the importance of BIS, ISO, USP, and IP standards in ensuring product safety and efficacy—especially important in cosmetic and wellness formulations.
I am highly motivated to apply my microbiological knowledge and disciplined lab approach in a professional setting like RAS Luxury Skincare, known for its commitment to clean beauty and quality assurance. I would be grateful for the opportunity to contribute to your team and continue learning within a company that values science-driven innovation.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can support your team and contribute to maintaining the exceptional standards that define your brand.
Warm regards,
Indu Singh
