  • Quality Control Analyst

    • Sep 2000 - Jul 2001
    • Coolraheen, Limerick, Ireland

    Worked in the In-Process Quality Control lab on a 4-cycle shift basis. Was part of a team who sampled, tested and released sample batches to meet the demands of a busy production line. Working the shift allowed for a varied work load. It afforded me the opportunity to step out of the lab and work in the production plant and also to engage with the people on the production line. This increased my interpersonal skills.
