"Early in my career, I designed, optimized, and validated a new DNA extraction assay to be utilized on several downstream applications. This required not only careful record keeping of preliminary protocols and data but also the final SOP once optimized. I have to say that I am very impressed by ICON plc's focus on quality assurance from what I was reading on your website. If hired to join your time, one of my first priorities would be learning the SOPs in our area."

If you have any experience in creating and documenting a set of SOPs during your career, that is great! Be sure to talk about your role in helping to create those and why they were important. If you don't have experience in writing any, that is okay as most candidates won't. What is important in this case is that you clearly talk about why having quality measures in place, like standard operating procedures, is important to the success of any organization in the medical field.
