The people working within CSIR are generally wonderful people to work with,good intentions of doing significant, valuable work CSIR is heading in the right direction. The challenges in general, I would say that been given large amount of work such as rapid application development. but I've learned new programming languages which I did not learn on my academic years such as python and PHP.I enjoyed working on such a competent areas like this where we work on solving real life problems using computing skills. E.g web and software development and IT support technician.

Hard worker anf fast learner
I am currently working as a Laboratory Technician at Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). I have experience in tissue culture, cleaning and sterilization of glassware, disposal of hazardous waste, maintenance and calibration of equipment as well as procurement of laboratory consumables. I also have a certificate in Practical Microbiology and have experience in preparation of media, egg pasteurization, product development and shelf studies and enumeration of bacteria. I am also computer literate with certificates in Microsoft office. This experience gave me an opportunity to work closely with a team of researchers and helped me to understand the importance of good laboratory practices. I am sure I will carry over the same enthusiasm and skills while working at your institution. Attached is my curriculum vitae and application form. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Priscilla Hare
