In my previous roles, I consistently reviewed and familiarized myself with Standard Operating Procedures to ensure adherence. I kept detailed notes and checklists to track compliance during experiments, thus minimizing chances for error.

I have hands-on experience with various analytical instruments such as HPLC and GC. I am comfortable performing routine calibrations and conducting troubleshooting to resolve any operational issues that may arise during testing.

When faced with OOS results, I first verify the results by double-checking calculations and sample handling procedures. Then, I follow established protocols for investigation, collaborating with my supervisor and Subject Matter Experts to determine potential causes and corrective actions.

I prioritize tasks by breaking them down into smaller, manageable parts and setting clear deadlines. Additionally, I regularly communicate with my teammates to keep them updated on my progress and adapt my priorities based on evolving project needs.

I believe in fostering open communication by actively listening to team members and sharing my thoughts transparently. I seek feedback regularly and encourage team discussions to address any challenges we face collaboratively.

I view constructive criticism as an opportunity for growth. I take time to process feedback and reflect on how I can improve my skills or approach and am always eager to learn from others’ perspectives.

In my previous role, I participated in projects aimed at streamlining sample testing processes. I collected data on existing workflows, identified bottlenecks, and proposed solutions that improved efficiency and accuracy.

I once encountered a significant discrepancy in test results. After careful investigation and collaboration with my colleagues, we discovered minor errors in sample preparation. We revised our procedures and implemented additional checks to prevent future errors.

I am passionate about ensuring product safety and efficacy, especially in pharmaceuticals. The satisfaction of contributing to high-quality outcomes that positively affect patients drives my dedication to Quality Control.
