I do not control their hiring criteria.

I've been doing ISH and immuno for 13 years, but I'm not certified as I do research. Maybe there aren't a lot of lab techs out there? Just wondering since you might be missing someone awesome by hiring only certified people. "By bitching and bitching and bitching, they could exhaust the drama of their own horror stories.

It is mostly clerical, instrument up keep and other duties. My employer does not hire uncertified techs- due to CLIA license, grossing, FISH & molecular duties ( high complexity). I hope to be a clinical site eventually, and then they will have to complete their certification within one year -if they are hired on. If you think that will help, I can send it on.
