<p>(I posted this in the Science Majors forum, but I probably should've posted it here.)</p>
<p>So I'm a bio major, but I've never been into it the way some people apparently are (I picked my major on a whim), and I have no plans on going to med school, professional school, or even grad school. I'm planning on doing something else eventually, but right now I just want to get a job and start saving some money. Thing is, outside of class I've never really had any lab experience, and while I'm pretty sure I'm qualified for a job as a lab tech just because of all the bio/chem classes I've taken (and the books I've read in my free time, too), I'm not sure how to word all of this on my resume. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to do it, that would be great.</p>
<p>Alternatively, just because I'm a perfectionist and/or tend to sell myself short, I'm also considering to volunteer as a lab tech at some biotech company for a while just so I have an official experience. I don't have the slightest idea on how/where to volunteer, though. I've tried all sorts of key words on Google, but I just never found what I was looking for. (In case it matters, I live in SoCal.) I don't think I'm qualified for internship because I'm graduating and because my academic performances aren't great enough for my ex-professors to want to recommend me. I did okay when I was at the local community college, but at my current university I'm only doing "eh" at best, and my GPA is just barely above 3.0 -- not terrible, but not impressive either.</p>
<p>So this is my current dilemma. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for anyone willing to help.</p>
