I had one individual interview and then a panel interview with 3 people besides myself. The interview process was fair, but I feel that requiring a college degree for a lab technician position is unnecessary. If a contractor has been doing the same job and meeting all the necessary metrics, why should they be denied the job just because they don't have a degree in chemistry or engineering? Such a degree isn't needed to do the job tasks excellently, as was demonstrated over 4 years.
