I also have to help others in their rotations and areas after my job is done and have to substitute whenever someone misses work. On top of the regular pressure associated with the job, there is also the pressure of living up to the expectations of management in regards to completing projects, both routine and special, according to their expectations. When completing these tasks, the job is not just to get done, but to also achieve the expected or desired outcomes. I thrive under these conditions. 2. Ability to work independently with little or no higher level supervision. Part of my role is to train employees in our procedures, policies and protocols. This includes teaching them methods to perform the job, and instructing and mentoring them to ensure that they can perform the job in a manner that meets management expectations. This requires a very high degree of working independently and also acknowledging that what I impart to the new employees will not only impact how they do their job but also reflect on me.

I also have to apply quality assurance procedures to samples of work and have to document the results of those tests. Finally, I have to test specimens completely and accurately within established time frames and according to established procedures and because my work is also tested by my peers, my acumen for the work has to be strong.
