Medical Lab Technician (MLT) question: are there ever hiring opportunities for non-MLT certified science professionals?
I have a degree in microbiology and I want to become eligible for the ASCP exam through route 4 by acquiring 2 years of MLT work experience then then becoming certified but im worried that i will never get hired without becoming certified first.

any and all help/suggestions are appreciated!

I have heard of this issue. A lot of organizations like to have their employees certified prior, but if you apply and land an interview, maybe they will train you and sponsor your certification exam.

Hi everyone, I am 4.9 years experienced , I joined Fractal 3 months ago as a data engineer, but still haven't got any project. Process is so slow that I have received only 4 to 5 project calls. I switched in hopes that will learn the new tech and tools. But now i am starting to forget even the one i knew. Should i go for change or wait a little more time as fractal is reputed in AI/ML? I have interview lined up with Impetus as for now. Would it be better choice?

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
