What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in laboratory jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, medical laboratory science, or a related field
- Hands-on experience with standard laboratory instruments such as PCR, HPLC, or spectrophotometers
- Familiarity with GLP, GMP, or CLIA regulatory standards depending on the laboratory type
- ASCP, AMT, or equivalent certification for clinical or hospital laboratory positions
- Proficiency in laboratory information management systems or data recording software
- Strong documentation habits and experience following standardized operating procedures
Tips for Your Laboratory Job Search
Tailor your resume to each lab type
Clinical lab resumes should highlight CLIA compliance and patient sample handling, while industrial or research lab resumes should foreground instrumentation expertise and method development. Recruiters screen for context-specific language, so a single generic resume loses opportunities across both.
List every instrument you have operated
Hiring managers scan for specific equipment, including PCR platforms, mass spectrometers, flow cytometers, and HPLC systems. Name the exact models you have used rather than broad categories, because many labs filter applicants by instrument familiarity before a human ever reads the file.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists laboratory openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Verify certification requirements before applying
Some states require ASCP or AMT certification for clinical laboratory positions, and certain regulated environments mandate OSHA or GLP training records. Confirm the specific credentials a posting demands before you spend time customizing your application materials for a role you cannot yet accept.
Prepare a practical skills narrative for interviews
Interviewers in laboratory settings routinely ask candidates to walk through how they troubleshoot a failed assay or maintain chain of custody. Rehearse two or three concrete examples from your own bench work that demonstrate systematic thinking and documentation habits, not just technical knowledge.
Negotiate around shift differentials and safety stipends
Many laboratory positions, especially in hospitals and 24-hour facilities, include evening, weekend, or on-call shifts that carry differential pay. Ask explicitly about shift structures and hazardous-material stipends during the offer stage, since these components can vary significantly across employers and are often negotiable.
Laboratory Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most laboratorys?
The most active employers for laboratorys right now are Labcorp, Quest Diagnostics, and Kaiser Permanente, and the most openings are in California, Texas, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Demand is particularly strong in healthcare systems and pharmaceutical contract research organizations.
How many laboratory jobs are remote?
About 11% of laboratory openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which is lower than most professional fields because hands-on bench work cannot be performed offsite. Remote opportunities are most concentrated in data analysis, laboratory informatics, regulatory affairs, and quality assurance roles that do not require physical sample handling.
How do you become a laboratory scientist or technician?
Start by earning a degree in a relevant science field, with medical laboratory science, clinical laboratory science, chemistry, or biology being the most direct paths. Complete any required clinical or internship hours, then pursue professional certification through a recognized credentialing body such as ASCP or AMT. Many entry-level laboratory roles also require demonstrated instrument proficiency, which you can build through coursework, volunteer work, or part-time positions.
Can you get a laboratory job with little or no experience?
Yes, laboratory assistant and specimen processing roles routinely accept candidates with a relevant degree and no prior work experience, as on-the-job training covers site-specific protocols and equipment. Emphasize coursework involving hands-on lab work, any research projects where you handled samples or operated instruments, and a demonstrated understanding of documentation and safety practices to stand out against other entry-level applicants.
What does the laboratory interview process look like?
Most laboratory interviews begin with a phone or video screen focused on your technical background and familiarity with relevant instruments or methods. A subsequent in-person round typically includes a panel interview with a lab manager and senior scientists, and some employers add a practical component where you describe how you would handle a specific technical problem or compliance scenario. Reference checks and a background screen usually follow before an offer is extended.
Where can I find and apply to laboratory jobs?
You can find and apply to laboratory jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the available roles to find positions that match your background, specialization, and preferred location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
