YOUR NAME

MY CAREER OBJECTIVE:

I am keen to begin a career in biomedical science. I am a recent graduate who combined studies with working and other commitments. In achieving this, I have shown myself to be self-motivated, committed and determined in achieving my goals,
come what may. I have also demonstrated negotiating and organizing skills, a firm sense of responsibility and my capacity to work hard under pressure. I possess excellent verbal and written communication skills and am able to relate to a wide range of people, as proven by my varied work experiences: in retail, catering, hospitality work, teaching and patient care.

Practical skills gained during my degree

Preparation and identification of nucleic acids, protein isolation and separation by gel filtration, molecular modelling and computer analysis of kinetic data. Use of a haemocytometer, microscopic investigation, aseptic technique and bacterial isolation and cultivation.

Cell breakage, ELISA, immunoassays, spectroscopy, enzyme assays, protein purification, gene cloning, gas chromatography, HPLC and microscopy.

Well versed in sterile microbiological techniques allowing for the maintenance and growth of bacterial and yeast cell cultures, UV mutagenesis, western blot analysis, agarose gel electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, DNA and RNA extraction and spectrophotometry. These were all key skills I had to master for my final year project (see below).

 Final Year Research Project. Title “The effect of molecular chaperones on the maintenance of a yeast prion [PSI+]”. Required that I work methodically with regards to health and safety regulations and pay close attention to detail in order to achieve accurate results.

2003-2010 St. Paul's Girls' School, London

A-levels: Chemistry B, Biology A, Maths C

GCSEs: 8 including Maths and English at grades A to C

SKILLS:

Research Dissertation	Researched both in paper journals and on the Internet and library based research.
Teamwork	I have successfully undertaken various team projects within both academic and non-academic environments.
Communication	Oral communication skills expressed in presentations and in talking to the general public. Writing skills developed with essay writing. I also was a member of the editorial team for a school science newspaper. As a sales adviser at BHS, I had to demonstrate knowledge of the different types of items sold and their uses, to be able to respond effectively to customer queries. My degree course greatly enhanced my written and verbal communication skills due to the many presentations, assignments, posters, essays and projects required.
Willingness to learn	I am keen to develop my understanding and acquire new skills through employment.
Problem solving	I have the ability to problem solve, tested with continuous problem solving exercises given as assessments, which may require mathematical analysis and evaluation.
Computer skills	Knowledge and experience of Windows 7, MS Word, MS Access, using email and the Internet.

INTERESTS:

• I enjoy current affairs and travelling. I also enjoy hockey and was a member of the Kent University Hockey Club. The latter involved participating in activities, such as fun nights out and raising money for charity events, for example, in RAG week.
