Hard worker anf fast learner
I am currently working as a Laboratory Technician at Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). I have experience in tissue culture, cleaning and sterilization of glassware, disposal of hazardous waste, maintenance and calibration of equipment as well as procurement of laboratory consumables. I also have a certificate in Practical Microbiology and have experience in preparation of media, egg pasteurization, product development and shelf studies and enumeration of bacteria. I am also computer literate with certificates in Microsoft office. This experience gave me an opportunity to work closely with a team of researchers and helped me to understand the importance of good laboratory practices. I am sure I will carry over the same enthusiasm and skills while working at your institution. Attached is my curriculum vitae and application form. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Priscilla Hare

Human Resources Manager
I current work in a research institute comprised of scientists and researchers. My typical day involves a lot of meeting wherein I need to advise line managers on policy related matters. CSIR is a very good company to work for as I interact with people of high calibre in terms of education levels. I have a very good relationship with co-workers. Generally, the organisation is not of high conflict as people are professional, to some degree they let you get on with your work. The most challenging part is when people do not follow procedures, they over assume their education level.
Pros: Diversity in thinking
Cons: Change averse
