Farrah is an extreamly committed professional with exceptional interpersonal skills. She takes extra effort to make the candiate feel comfortable and confident. She is one of the very few professionals, I have come across, who exibits extraordinary responsivness and zeal in any assignment she takes.

Farrah is a doer, extremely ambitious and determined to achieve whatever she sets her mind to. She has an abundance of energy and charisma but most importantly she really cares for what she does. Tasks taken on are completed to the highest standard as she always empowers herself with industry knowledge. Her passion and enthusiasm make her a great partner to Apply4U as she grows and harnesses her ability... a real natural, hard working sales, marketing and business professional. If she continues down this road I can see her achieving great things.

      Proudly remembered as the Scientist who convinced suppliers to reduce cost or provide free reagents (worth £11,000) when testing stopped due to funding issues... Therefore allowing vital testing (such as prenatal samples) to continue... when I am passionate about something - there's no stoppping me! Carried out genetic testing for various disorders including Cystic Fibrosis, Huntington's Chorea, Haemochtomatosis as well as various colorectal cancers. The best practice guidelines for UK Colorectal Cancer were changed following my observations regarding Asian-specifc MYH mutations. This was presented at the BSHG Conference. Show less

      Starting as a telecanvasser, I worked my way to supervisor using unique selling techniques, always adapting to the situation and enjoying the calls (well most). Highlights include being featured in national company magazine for bringing in top sales revenue for my branch and am still remembered as the canvasser that had a pay scale created just for her! Great fun - loved the cold calling!!! Starting as a telecanvasser, I worked my way to supervisor using unique selling techniques, always adapting to the situation and enjoying the calls (well most).
