Lab technician - (Mar/29/2012 )

Right, coming up to halfway through my masters (thesis writing season is almost on me....o god), and PhD applications have not gone well, couple of good interviews that ultimatly went to more "experienced" candidates. I.e. former lab techs
While applying to lab tech jobs I noticed grades of lab techs.
Anyone care to enlighten me?

Would help to know which country you are in/applying for?

That would be the UK, my good fellow

Perhaps this benchmarking from the Universiity of Liverpool will help:
