  • Had a job interview today

    So i had an interview today for a position in the Environmental Microbiology Lab here on campus.
    They monitor water quality in 50 locations around the area.
    If I get the position I would be collecting samples and running tests in the lab.
    Seemed like it went really well and they are supposed to contact me in the next week or so.


    keep your fingers crossed for me.

      Good luck hope you score the position.

      Once you get ready to graduate if you are interested in the environmental filed let me know.

      Any idea what kind of water quality equipment they have?

      I have a large inventory of YSI 600Xl's. Rock solid meters.

        no idea what kind of equipment they use. I do know they do alot of research on water quality for the city/state so im sure the funding is there for some good equipment. thanks for the offer i might take you up on that.

          You'll probably be analyzing for different kinds of contaminants. The lab at my campus deals with fecal coliforms and helps regulate oyster harvests.

                          Sounds like a great fit! I don't think you'll need luck... but I'll wish you some anyhow.

                          Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

                            yes i will get out of the lab and go collect samples. the main thing im getting out of this job would be experience. even if you have a degree and no experience your SOL.

                            no the equation was: more hours=more money=more tanks. this will most likely be the same amount of money but i'm dieing to quit waiting tables people are @#$^&%#$&$
