[Histonet] Unregistered HT

[Emily Sours]

Do employers consider lab techs to be proficient enough? I've been doing
ISH and immuno for 13 years, but I'm not certified as I do research.  Maybe
there aren't a lot of lab techs out there? Just wondering since you might
be missing someone awesome by hiring only certified people.

"By bitching and bitching and bitching, they could exhaust the drama of
their own horror stories. Grow bored. Only then could they accept a new
story for their lives. Move forward."
