Online resources for biotech employment in Arizona and New Mexico

I would like to offer a couple of online resources I have found over the years.

1. Arizona Virtual One Stop - https://www.arizonavirtualonestop.com/

- Arizona VOS has listings of both private and public domain jobs. The site is very easy to use and allow you to filter by keywords or salary range or location.

2. Arizona Bio Industry's Bio Maps - http://www.azbio.org/biomaps.asp

- This is an interactive site that has listings of all bio-related companies in Arizona, separated by region (Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Tucson). While you are there, check out the azbio frontpage for information regarding the biotech industry in Arizona.

3. New Mexico Work Force Connection - http://www.jobs.state.nm.us/jobbanks/default.asp?p=&session=jobsearch&geo=&areatype=90

- This is similar to Arizona Virtual One Stop.

4. Northern New Mexico Job Boards - http://www.onestopnnm.org/jobs.html
- This board is specific for jobs in Northern New Mexico, separated by city.

5. Linked-in - http://www.linkedin.com/

- A great networking site, it also has job listings that can also be narrowed down by keywords. You are welcome to find me and link-in with me.

6. USAJobs - http://www.usajobs.gov/

- Listing of government jobs. This is also easy to navigate, filter by keywords and sort by state and locations.

If you send me your resume, I will try to help you find a position. Just send me an email to mindy@mylabconnection.com.

My Lab Connection - a simple idea

Having been a sales representative for many years covering Arizona and New Mexico, I have noticed that there are not a lot of local resources available to lab personnel. Whether the information be available jobs in the area or which doctors to go to or where to live, it takes many individuals months to discover the right job or the right doctor or the right school for our kids. A lot of this information tends to come from our connections – people in the same lab or our neighbors. What if there is a place where you could visit to pull useful information quickly? What if we could all benefit from each other’s lab connections and everyone could provide feedback to help each other find that job or the apartment near campus?

This is the idea behind mylabconnection (MyLC). What I hope to accomplish is to build a web-based resource to help everyone who are involved in laboratory work, whether you are the lab technician or a PI and even the vendor reps coming into town for a day or two. The site would only work if you provide the feedback, so please comment and make suggestions to help me build and improve our resources.

Thank you for visiting and please follow my blog to help me build the site.
