PREPARATION GUIDE FOR JUNIOR OFFICER, QUALITY CONTROL
1. UNDERSTAND THE ROLE
• Review the major duties: raw material analysis, packaging material testing, finished product testing, water quality checks, OOS (out‑of‑specification) handling, compliance with SOPs, health‑safety‑environment standards, GLP, documentation, and housekeeping.
• Note the work environment: shift‑based operation at the Kaliakoir plant, Gazipur.
2. ACADEMIC AND TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
• Ensure you have a B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Chemistry.
• Refresh core subjects: analytical chemistry, instrumental methods (UV‑Vis, HPLC, FTIR, GC), microbiology basics for water testing, and pharmacopeial standards (USP, BP, IP).
• Study common raw‑material tests: identification, assay, impurity profiling, moisture content, dissolution, and stability.
• Review packaging material requirements: integrity, leachability, barrier properties.
3. PRACTICAL LAB SKILLS
• Practice preparation of standard solutions, calibration curves, and reproducibility checks.
• Perform mock analyses using lab notebooks to simulate real documentation.
• Familiarize yourself with SOP writing and deviation handling.
4. GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) AND COMPLIANCE
• Study the 7 principles of GLP: organization, personnel, facilities, equipment, standard operating procedures, performance checks, and documentation.
• Review the steps for OOS investigation: immediate reporting, root‑cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
5. COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE SKILLS
• Strengthen MS Office proficiency: Excel for data analysis, Word for report writing, PowerPoint for presentations.
• Learn basic data‑processing tools used in QC labs (e.g., ChemStation, Empower, Chromeleon).
• Understand the eRecruitment system interface – navigation, form filling, and file uploading.
6. PRELOADING IMAGES FOR HOVER / MOUSEOVER EFFECT IN THE RECRUITMENT PORTAL
• PURPOSE: hide image assets in a pre‑load area so they are cached by the browser and not requested repeatedly from the server during mouseover events.
7. PERSONAL PREPARATION FOR INTERVIEW
• Prepare a concise self‑introduction highlighting education, any lab internships, and willingness to work shifts.
• Gather examples of teamwork, problem‑solving, and adherence to safety protocols.
• Be ready to discuss a specific SOP you have followed or drafted, and how you handled any deviation.
• Review common interview questions for QC roles: “How do you ensure accuracy of analytical results?”, “Describe a time you identified an OOS result and what steps you took.”
8. LOGISTICS AND APPLICATION CHECKLIST
• Verify the application deadline: Sunday, 30 November 2025.
• Prepare a PDF version of your CV, ensuring it contains: academic qualifications, relevant coursework, lab skills, software proficiency, and any certifications (e.g., GMP, GLP).
• Do not submit a hard copy; use the provided eRecruitment link only.
• Ensure the email address and phone number in your profile are current.
• Confirm you meet the age limit (under 33 years).
9. FINAL REMINDERS
• Square Pharmaceuticals does not request any money during recruitment – be vigilant of scams.
• Smoking is discouraged for this role; be prepared to discuss lifestyle compatibility if asked.
• Keep a copy of the job posting reference (HR/DU‑11‑25‑380) for future correspondence.
By following these steps you will be well‑prepared both for the technical responsibilities of a Junior Officer in Quality Control and for the practical aspects of the eRecruitment system, including efficient image preloading for a smooth user experience. Good luck.
