[Histonet] Uncertified Histotechs

[Manfre, Philip]

I would look to the pharmaceutical industry, or industry in general, if they are hiring.  I believe they are more willing to hire without certification than a hospital.

Is getting a job as an uncertified histotech a thing of the past? I have a friend who has been a very skilled histotech for many years and they have been looking for a job for about a year now. Is this due to bad interviewing or a lack of certification? I'm curious to see if this has happened to other people. They have applied at hospitals and bigger labs such as Caris. Im not asking for a job lead for them I'm just more curious if certification has become a prerequisite now.
