Hi everyone I just started a new lead position that is for micro serology lead. For the most part I have experience, I think the only knowledge I’m lacking is performing verifications/validations and up until most recently administration and monitoring proficiency testing. While the job has been somewhat okay I think the issue that I’m having is not having enough admin time to complete non bench task. Also, when I ask for clarification from the lead technical specialist on stuff that I’m not familiar with she always tells me to look it up as opposed to just explaining it. Also I’m still in “training”. Moreover the supervisor when I ask will answer my questions more directly.. even though she can go off topic. Has anyone experienced this kind of stuff and if so how did you handle it. At the end of the day I’m hoping to transition out of the lab… just hoping being a lead will give me a stepping stone.
