More students than ever are spending a year or more in jobs after graduating. Most spend a couple of years as technicians and then go on to graduate school, or in the Peace Corps or nursing and then on to medical or PA school. Some work as technicians and then to industry, and a few directly into industry. Key in this process is networking through alumni to find personal connections to jobs. FACS can help, you can connect with alumni via faculty (especially Program Chair). Below are a few additional notes that might be useful.

CHEMISTRY JOB WEB SITE Dear Webmaster, We outline below details of a new web site for chemist job vacancies. http://www.chemjobs.net

27 Jan 1999 Jeanine Pennington RUSH CANCER TECHNICIAN Since I will be leaving in June, I was wondering if you could spread the word that my position at Rush will be open next year. I think that this position may be expecially attractive to students wishing to take time off before going to medical school, since the work here is very clinically related and students would have the opportunity to meet with various physicians in the medical center. At Rush I work in the Pathology Department under the direction of Dr. John Coon. The primary focus here is to elucidate molecular markers for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer, and to use these markers in the development of molecular assays. The two main projects I am currently involved in include (1) p53 mutation analysis of locally advanced breast cancer patients and (2) investigation of p33 expresssion in archival head and neck cancer specimens (p33 is a putative tumor-supressor protein).
