She probably meant coding.

Yes I did lol autocorrect can be so annoying

Also thanks for all the advice everyone. And yeah that's what I've been hearing this one guy I knew was a janitor and got into a hospital lab. Why I have so much trouble getting into one is beyond me lol. To be fair I have mostly tried with Sonora Quest and they have so many applicants. And yeah I hear east coast is better for that too. I got a sup. to respond to my message so fingers crossed : ).

Things are liking up for you...I'm so happy

I used to work in laboratory automation and most of the scientists that I worked with said the best laboratory jobs are in the northeast. I switched from the lab to the clinical side and everything has worked out great.

Sometimes, you either have to move or refocus.

Godspeed.

By clinical side do you mean you became an RN or PA? I could probably get into PA school (maybe cause my goal is kinda low for that it's a 3.0) but I'd still have to take a GRE and more prereqs still plus I'd be competing with people who have done just as much if not more work than I have and it's more expensive than software engineering/ programming with the same pay.

No, I'm still a software engineer but I work with clinic software to automate work-flow. Laboratory automation is more interesting, but the projects don't come along consistently, at least not where I live. Since I didn't want to move to Groton, Connecticut, I decided to switch to clinical automation, which is more widely utilized.

Yeah seems like software engineering is where it's at lol. Hence why I'm learning it.

So she emailed me back and said after reviewing my resume I don't qualify for the position based on my skills.

I don't get it. I really don't. I don't understand why I don't qualify for a lab job when my resume says 3 years of lab experience, publication, bachelor's degree in biochemistry.... The only thing I don't have is a medical tech certification, but seriously the person who wrote the job add didn't say one was necessary. They said they accept science graduates.

Seriously, if a janitor at a hospital got his foot in the door as a lab tech with no science degree why can't I get in with one. I am really fed up.

It's outrageous I'm told I don't qualify for any jobs above high school diploma. Tired of it. When I do get an interview for a job that actually matches my education I don't get it cause too many applicants. Seriously tired of the system.
