  Lab technologists play a valuable role serving patient care needs in a more
  behind-the-scenes capacity. Hiring managers want someone who they can trust to
  perform the lab technologist duties effectively, while also being equipped to
  handle the fast-paced work environment. Land your next job as a lab
  technologist with these job search tips.
</div>

<h2>Research the Organization</h2>

<div>
  Taking the time to perform preliminary research on the facility you&#39;re
  applying to can help you come across as thorough and prepared for the
  opportunity in a cover letter or phone interview - definite positive traits in
  a candidate who would be dealing with lab samples. Having some familiarity
  about the environment also puts you in a better position to make a more
  compelling argument about why you should be considered.
</div>

<h2>Highlight Your Most Relevant Attributes</h2>

<div>
  When you consider the fact that candidates for any given lab technologist job
  are likely going to have significantly comparable qualifications in terms of
  previous job responsibilities, it makes sense that you&rsquo;ll need to
  communicate what sets you apart from the competition: your personal
  attributes. Once you establish in your resume and initial introduction that
  you have the basic qualifications, highlight the traits that make you an
  outstanding lab tech, such as attention to detail, a positive attitude,
  teamwork, communication skills, etc.
</div>

<h2>Be Prepared With Specific Examples</h2>

<div>
  It can be hard to be memorable to healthcare hiring managers in a preliminary
  phone or Skype interview. Improve your chances of being considered for a lab
  technologist job by having specific, real-life examples to use to support your
  statements. The less broad and general you are, the more likely it is the
  hiring manager will be confident in your words. For example, if the
  interviewer asks about your attention to detail, describe a past situation
  that clearly demonstrates your proficiency.
</div>

<h2>Express Passion and Enthusiasm</h2>

<div>
  Hiring managers of course want to hire the candidate with the skills required
  to be a topnotch lab technologist, but they also want someone who is
  personally engaged in their work. A lab technologist that is self-motivated to
  perform because of a passion for patient care or enjoyment of the work
  environment is more likely to do good work than someone who is only there for
  the money or because they need a job. Don&#39;t be afraid to express your
  passion and enthusiasm - as long as you conduct yourself professionally and
  don&#39;t come across as desperate, it presents you in a favorable manner.
