Re: [Histonet] Interview

[Terri Braud via Histonet]

Just a note: The liability of having a interviewee cut themselves operating an 
instrument that they have not been signed off as competent is HUGE.  I think 
your company/labs legal team would say absolutely not.
It would be nice to assess their cutting and other skills ahead of time, but 
that is what the probationary period is for.  Don't be afraid to let an 
underperformer go during probation.
More than likely, a good personality fit is the most important, anyway.

I'm also a fan of having any fellow employees available ask questions.  I
have my staff limit it to histology related subjects, but my thought is if
they are going to be the ones working directly with them, it helps to have
their opinions.

[Histonet] Tissue processors for electron microscopy

[Koepplin, Justin W. via Histonet]

Hello,
I'm looking for recommendations or some insider information for tissue 
processors for electron microscopy specimens.  We are currently using an older 
Leica EM TP that we are looking to replace/upgrade.  As far as this one and the 
Lynx II, I haven't seen many options.  I thought I'd try to get a feel for what 
others are using and what's working.  Currently, we process around 30 
specimens/day with a steadily increasing volume.  I believe the mPREP was tried 
in the past and was not a good fit for the lab due to problems with the mPREP 
handling very small specimens.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Justin

I'm not sure if this is an option, but we used to melt down old blocks and make 
the HT embed and cut them. This showed us how good and quick they were and if 
they actually new what they were doing. Anne

I am going to interview people for Histotech position for the first time...what 
are the best questions to ask? How do I prepare myself? what is the I need to 
know that they are the best one? What should I ask or choose? Is good to put 
them in action like cutting or staining to check on their skills or what are 
your recommendations? thank you for your help
