My degree helped!! I have a job interview.

[Lindagerr]

I am so excited and scared:eek:. I have a phone job interview tomorrow. Since it is so difficult for me to get a teacher certification up here in NY I have decided to look for a laboratory job. There is a company very close by that I applied to over a month ago. I thought they decided I wasn't interesting, but they called today and set up a phone interview for tomorrow. I have not had a job interview for the science field in over 20 years. I worked for the same companies for the last 20 years. I have over 30 years of lab experience, but I am out of date.

My degree made all the difference I am sure, the job posting required a minimum of a Bachelors degree. This is a Biotech company that is also involved in the environmental area so my AAS in ESST might have also helped.

So I could use some advice. I have looked up the company it is huge and covers many areas, I am not sure what areas are covered in this location. How do I sound knowledgeable about the company when it is so diverse? I am also kind of rusty on some of the techniques and instrumentation they would want me to run. Should I be honest and tell them I am rusty, but I am a fast learner? Or should I try to emphasize the varity of instrumentation I have worked on previously? I am asking these questions in a general way. Some of you do hirering and some of you have recently gotten jobs so Please Help!!!
