Management Analyst

Hello perspective new employer,

I am looking for a new opportunity in the microbiology field in the Chicago area.

Your Microbiology lab analyst job posting on Indeed.com described an in telligent,

personable, and efficient worker. I feel like I am the person you are looking for.

At my current laboratory, I take initiative all the t ime to ensure that the work is

done correctly and efficiently. I am always looking for ways to improve our

p rocesses.

I work with a t ight-knit group of t rained workers and feel as though I am a go to

t ype person in every department I work in. New hires come to me with questions

because I am willing to take the time to explain our processes and encourage them

i n their t raining. Often I am reminding others of maintaining our processes

correctly in an upbeat and positive way.

M ul ti tasking is a way of life for me at the laboratory. I feel after 5 years of

experience that I have mastered the abili ty to balance the quality of work I do with

t he amount of t ime i t takes me to complete i t. I do not sacrifice either. And when I

do make an error, I am the fi rst to admit i t and work with management to find a

way to keep it from happening again.

T here are some intangible qualities that just do not fi t into a resume. I am f lexible

w ith my schedule and often help coworkers who need me to pick up their shifts. I

w ill stay late when a department needs extra help. I remain calm under pressure,

be i t a last minute back order, an especially high work load, or a t ight time

restriction.

T hank you for your time and consideration,

Katherine Vaccaro
