Re: [Histonet] Advice for new grads?

Victoria, yes! I might have added to take every opportunity to do something 
different. While I started in a clinical setting I also worked in a federal 
government clinical/research setting and also for a vendor in the field. They 
both added immensely to understanding the breadth of the field. Especially the 
vendor work which was in product development and entailed visits to many labs 
and other vendors, even internationally. That work really opened my eyes to 
both sides of the field. 

If something like that comes along, and fits with family/life, it is well worth 
doing.

Great advice Tim. I still do this 30 years later. It definitely expands
your scope of work, keeps the job interesting and builds your resource
network

Re: [Histonet] Advice for new grads?

[Victoria Baker via Histonet]

Pam,

So far a lot of excellent advice has been given. Along the lines of what
Tim has said, learn new tests. Any chance to get scope time with a
pathologist one on one or in a multi scope setting is an excellent learning
tool. It shows your interest & you will get to know your pathologists. This
will also encourage them to feel more comfortable in the lab.
Try different lab settings. Academic research you have a lot of interaction
with scientific people & you will have to figure things out/research them
yourself.  Clinical is where most people start out & what Tim said is spot
on. Pharma is really incredible, especially now. It will most likely mean
working with animal, cell culture & archival materials. You’ll need to
bring your A game to work each day, but most of the people in all these
settings will be willing to show an eager learner.
Good days come with bad days. It’s hard to not get discouraged, but
remember it is just one day.
Go get ‘em!

Re: [Histonet] Advice for new grads?

[Tim Morken via Histonet]

Pam, I tell people to learn everything they can in whatever lab they are 
working in. Don't be limited by a job description. Also, get involved in the 
lab in areas besides the basic job. Volunteer for projects. Volunteer for 
various committees. That is how you get to learn how the institution works, and 
how you get to know people around the institution, especially outside your own 
lab. A lot of problem solving in the lab is knowing who can help you. You never 
know when something you learn will come in handy even years later.

Hi Histopeeps!

I hope this is the beginning of a fantastic week for you.  On Wednesday I will 
be speaking to a group of newly graduated histotechs.

I wanted to ask if you could give someone just entering the field of histology 
a single piece of advice what would it be?
