Dear Corporate Representative,
I am writing with interest in your Software Quality Manager position. I enclose a copy of my Resume for your consideration.
As you will see from my Resume, I am currently working for Leica Microsytems Inc as the Compliance Manager, overseeing
the regulatory and quality affairs for the global FDA and Health Canadian markets, as well maintaining the ISO:9001
accreditation for the site. My strong organization skills have led to develop a benchmark process for a problem solving course
and provided global support for our company in audits as well as CAPAs. Recently I have created a visual management daily
display for our CAPA system and supplier management scoring systems which has decreased the CAPA cycle time and
allowed executive management instant visibility to progress with OEM suppliers.
In the past 6 months, the implementation of an electronic supplier management qualification program has decreased the
supplier review process by 50% using current personnel and restricting processes. Additionally, I have validated, tested and
maintained compliance for our global complaint handling system for all 13 Leica Manufacturing sites through a software
program. This has increased consistency in quality defect tracking and reporting.
With my proven ability to manage and maintain the highest regulatory and quality standards whilst also minimizing costs, I
feel that I would be able to make a significant contribution to your company's management team.
I would be grateful if you would contact me if you have any vacancies in your company, or keep my information on file in
case of future openings. I would welcome hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Katya Magee
