I AM A YOUNG GOAL DRIVEN WOMAN WHO EASILY ADEPT TO CHANGE AND IS WILLING TO LEARN . I ALSO PICKED UP THAT I AM A FAST LEARNER BECAUSE I STARTED OFF AT UNILEVER AS A BASIC OPERATOR ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO AND HAVE GROWN MASSIVELY WITHIN THE COMPANY . MY DUTIES AS A BASIC OPERATOR WERE FAIRLY SIMPLE. BY THIS I MEAN BASIC CRQS ON PACK AND IN PACK ,CCP CHECKS, HOUSEKEEPING ,PACKING UNITS AND ETC BUT WHILE DOING ALL OF THIS I STARTING DEVELOPING AN INTEREST IN THE QUALITY DEPARTMENT AND THAT WAS WHEN THE COMPANY RELEASED A QUALITY INTERN POST AND I GRABBED THE OPPORTUNITY WITH BOTH HANDS . AS A QUALITY INTERN I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR TESTING OF MIXES FOR FATS% AND SOILDS%,SAMPLING OF RAW MATERIALS ,SENSORY EVALUATION , ASSESS AND RESPONDING TO CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FROM THE SHOP FLOOR AND VALIDATION OF CCP CHECKS ON THE LINE, VALIDATION OF DATE CODE CHECKS ON THE LINE AND THAT WAS WHEN MY LEARNER-SHIP SKILLS WERE PUT TO THE TEST. IT WASN'T EASY BUT I MANGED TO PULL THROUGH. HAVING TO ENSURE THAT THE PEOPLE ON THE SHOP FLOOR ADHERES TO QUALITY STANDARDS WHILE YOU WERE ONCE A PART OF THEM CAN BE DIFFICULT AT TIMES BUT I NEVER GAVE UP AND THAT'S HOW I OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE AS QUALITY CHAMP. I WAS LATER APPOINTED AS LAB TECH AND THAT'S WHEN THINGS GOT A BIT INTENSE CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T STUDY FOOD TECH .MY RESPONSIBILITIES INCREASED IN A SENSE THAT I WAS NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR MEDIA PREPARATION , MICRO FINAL TESTING AND RAW MATERIAL TESTING , SAMPLING OF RAW MATERIALS, CALIBRATION OF LAB EQUIPMENT , LAB STOCK COUNT AND RELEASING EXPORT COA FOR CONCESSIONAIRES . IT MIGHT SOUND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE BUT I USED TO DO THE ABOVE MENTIONED DUTIES TOGETHER WITH THE DUTIES I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DURING MY INTERN YEAR. TIME MANAGEMENT AND PEOPLE MANAGEMENT WERE VITALITY AT THIS POINT . WITH THE EXPERIENCE I HAVE OBTAINED OVER THE YEARS I DECIDED THAT I NEED TO DO A CERTIFICATE IN TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO RESTRICT MYSELF IN ONE DEPARTMENT WHEN I CAN GROW AND AGAIN WHICH IS WHY I AM APPLYING FOR THIS POST. I HOPE YOU FIND MY APPLICATION SUCCESSFUL. KIND REGARD KATLEGO
