Junior technician Review

Weigh out compounds for clients/other departments. Training on various processes/machines. Solubilizing compounds for other departments to test with. Communicate with team on what needs to be done, or with any problems that may arise.

I have been trained on various machines and have developed better communication skills. I have also become better at planning and organising day-day routines, as well as adapting to unexpected events.

I am enjoying my time here in CR. Everyone is nice and respectful, as well as more than happy to help with any problems that could occur. There is a lot to do at times, which is stressful, but that does not occur often.

My current programme is well organised. There have been expectations put in place since I first started, on what I will need to learn/expect. The only downside is that there is no confirmation on what department I will move into next, but that is not a problem.

I receive a great amount of support from my employer and am very pleased with it. Anything I ask about is replied to with understanding and patience.

I have been given extra time during office hours to meet my university deadlines. I am very happy with the support.

None, my department is not related to anything that I am learning in my qualification at the moment. However, I am sure this will change once I switch departments.

I have been organising social activates along with a college, in regard to the rest of the department, so I would say yes.

Yes

It has a happy culture, where employees feel like they are valued. In addition, Charles River is always concerned for the mental health of employees.

Ensure that you present yourself as a happy, hard working person, who is passionate about whatever you are applying for. Also try to do some information gathering on what the company is currently working on, in order to impress the interviewer.
