Great opportunity to showcase my capabilities and also to learn more

What we basically do is that we receive samples from production, both liquids and powders then proceed to do the required tests. The interesting part is when a sample requires GC MS analysis, that is when one is required to focus and ensure accurate interpretation of the chromatograms. I was working with 8 young people in the laboratory and i enjoyed mostly interacting with them everyday. My coworkers are fun people however they take their jobs very seriously, they always challenge me to do better. As I was working in the flavour house, i have learned that to distinguish between smells (sensory evaluation) our company believes in planned strategic meetings where we share plans for the day and challenges thereof and that has helped me a lot in public speaking.

Pros: personal growth
Cons: unpaid overtime

Excellent learning curve

A typical work day includes: Compounding the formulations for internal stake holders. JHB LCMS Management. Responsible for raw material Inventory, lab safety, equipment calibration, training new staff and drafting SOPs. I work with one other co-worker in the lab, we have sailed across the toughest tides and together we make a great team. We have had to push ourselves 200% over our set objectives, work with deadlines that are less than 24 hours and source raw materials in a very short time. Through the everyday workplace challenges I have learnt emotional intelligence, professionalism, time management, people skills and this list could go on, given the opportunity I would love to discuss more in person. Regardless of the daily challenges, I have enjoyed the olifactive training sessions, the corporate culture here, flexible work times and being part of the EE committee.

Pros: lots of opportunities to learn
Cons: stagnant growth
