"As you can see from my resume, I worked my way through my undergraduate program in the retail industry and am proud of my ability to do so. I would have to say my most significant contribution to this job was taking the lead in monthly scheduling for my team. My supervisor was happy with me taking this lead, and it helped me solidify the organizational and communication skills I would bring to work at Gilead Sciences."

"In my current job, we implemented a new lab management software tool three years ago. When the decision was made, several staff members were very down about having to learn a new system and the time it would take to adjust. My natural mindset is to see the positive in things, which my director saw immediately. She asked if I would train to be the supervisor for our team, and I gladly took the position. Over the following months, I led employee training sessions with our team, and everyone was very appreciative."
