Every profession is respectable and has competition all round the world. Studying well and gaining good amount of knowledge, keeping in touch with the latest developments and acquiring experience are things that take you a long way in the long run. The educational courses that one needs to do for becoming an animal technician can be done by anyone just by enrolling but what actually matters is the amount of practical experience you gather and how well you are able to utilize the subject knowledge.
Everywhere you go you have to show yourself up and confidently be able to portray your skills and highlight your abilities. In the resume everyone writes these qualities but your interest in joining that particular organization is not highlighted anywhere in the resume. The animal technician cover letter helps you do that. It gives you a chance to speak about your abilities.

Re: Application for the post of Animal Technician
Miss. Romanov,
I feel proud to write you for expressing interest in the position of Animal Technician in your organization. I saw the notification on the notice board of your administrative department when I came for the field trip along with my seniors the day before yesterday. I have finished my training as an animal technician and now seeking a job in a reputed firm to start my career. The following are the highlights of my capabilities that I have honed well.
I am an animal lover and firmly believe that serving any form of life is as great as serving god, be it the mankind or animals. I choose animals above humans because they are dumb and meek, they cannot express, only a trained person can understand if they are unwell by knowing the symptoms of their diseases.
I know I can do proper justice to the job. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely Yours,
Signature
Bertha Phillip
