How can you build experience for chemistry/biology lab-based careers?
I am interested in doing research or working in a lab as a career, but I have no clue how I should go about gaining experience for positions outside of what I'm learning in college. I currently do undergraduate research but it oftentimes does not feel like enough! Many lab jobs seem highly specific in what they study, the equipment they use, and the methods they use to study their subjects. How can I ensure I am prepared to get a job in my desired field upon graduation? What steps should I take over the next few years (while I'm still working toward a bachelor's degree and going to graduate school) to make sure I am confident in my skills as a researcher/scientist? #career-counseling #career-choice #chemistry #biology #entry-level

When employers list a specific GPA requirement, is it final?
I ask this because I am a electrical engineering major and I don't have a 3.0 GPA, which seems to be the threshold for most companies looking to hire college students. I would like to apply for most companies but I do not meet this requirement. I want to note that I usually don't meet this requirement and about two or three more, an my GPA is not even close to a 3.0. Does this requirement automatically disqualify me from the position or should I apply regardless of my GPA? Thank you. #computer-science #internships #tech #entry-level #java
