It is great working here have learnt a lot

I hav The experience I gained working in the laboratory for the past two years as a Demonstrator and a Laboratory technician (intern) has given me an advantage. As an honours student, I learnt different ways of data, research activities, maintaining project documentation and project reporting and specimen collection. My internship developed those skills and added being responsible and meeting deadlines, and working and communicating with colleagues above and below your work position. Right now, I have more than two-year laboratory experience.

Pros: great co-workers and communication
Cons: long hours sometimes
