Overview
I am assisting in an ongoing project, this involves writing protocols, undergoing testing and writing up reports of the tests.
Skills
I have received training in specific testing, I have enriched my protocol and report writing by using specific language. I have enriched my laboratory skills and I'm more comfortable in using specific equipment such as pipettes.
Responsibilities
Yes, I would be responsible for running tests that were very important to the project, additionally the chemicals and samples I used were expensive/limited so accuracy was a great importance
Support & Guidance
A lot. I would work side by side with a microbiology technician who was very involved in the project so I could work in full confidence
Culture
Very warm and welcoming, the team would often invite me to lunches and engaged with me in conversation
Your Impressions
Being able to be involved and hands on from the start and being given a lot of responsibility made me feel like I was making a difference here
Yes
Apply even if you think you don't feel confident and be familiar with the AZ values
