Re: [Histonet] Help to interview new employees for the first time

[Erin McCarthy via Histonet]

Hi Blanca,

I think practical skills tests are a great idea. BUT I also think you need
to make sure that having someone that isn't an employee doing tasks in the
lab is a responsibility your lab would willingly take on if something were
to happen. If the candidate cut themselves and was litigious they could go
after your lab. I have not heard of it happening, but I know in this day
and age it can be a risk. Otherwise I try to ask probing questions -
usually things that cannot be answered with Yes or No. Also, I try to ask
about things you really want to know - how do they manage stress, do they
have troubleshooting experience, if so can they explain the problem and how
they solved it. Are they intuitive enough, that looking back on a
troubleshooting or stressful event can they identify what they would have
done differently? I want to make sure that the people I hire can manage
stress, and think through an issue. I also try to ask them what they feel
makes a good tech, and how they think their coworkers would describe them.
It gets them thinking about the team, not just how they see themselves.

I hope this helps!

I got this reply from my Biocare rep.

We are not going out of business   What happened is over a year ago we were 
acquired by a Venture group, which is a good thing. They infuse money and are 
making us stronger.

This is how awful rumors get started.  I’m sure that Biocare is not going
out of business.  They’ve recently released a new stainer and last weak an
IVD-labeled antibody for P16.  If a sales rep from another company told you
this they are pretty unethical and could learn a few things from the people
at Biocare.

Hello everyone,







We recently received informative handouts regarding this technology from our

Leica rep and we are in the process of scheduling a meeting to learn more

about it. They say it's so wonderful, our jaws will drop from how beautiful

the stains are.







Can anyone comment on this testing? Would it be a nice addition to our

library of IHC tests?







Any comments are welcomed!







Thank you in advance,

Dear listers,

Have you recently purchased an antibody against SMI32 (Anti-Neurofilament H 
Non-Phosphorylated Mouse mAb)

I was looking for one from Millipore, now Merck, now Sigma, or whatever, but it 
is not longer available.

Could you suggest me an alternative?

Thanks in advance.
