There are several essential skills and qualities needed to be competent and professional laboratory technician. In no particular order, these are:
- Excellent teamworking and collaboration skills. It is important to always put the needs of the team first and work tirelessly towards the defined objectives of the laboratory you are working in.
- You need good hand eye coordination skills, possess strong practical capabilities, and always demonstrate excellent attention to detail skills because mistakes cannot be made.
- You must be safety focused, have an understanding of risk assessments, and always adhere to strict rules and procedures relevant to the laboratory working environment.

- Other important skills and qualities of a lab technician include the ability to maintain and calibrate your equipment, possess good math and computing skills, be able to communicate information in an easy-to-understand manner, create concise written reports, and maintain your ongoing professional development.
THE MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A LABORATORY TECHNICIAN
The duties and responsibilities of a lab technician very much depend on the organization you are working work for. However, typical daily duties include conducting precise lab tests to generate reliable data during scientific investigations before recording the results in an accurate manner.
A lab technician will often interpret the results of the lab tests before presenting their findings to the laboratory manager or senior colleagues for further investigation and action.
Laboratory technicians are required to prepare specimens and samples, make use of computers to undertake mathematical calculations, and safely maintain all laboratory equipment for operational use including pipetting machines, centrifuges, scales, Bunsen burners, and freezers to name just a few.
All lab equipment must be used as per operational instructions and strict safety and hygiene procedures followed at all times. Other duties of a lab technician include making sure the laboratory has the minimum quantities of supplies and resources to maintain operational readiness, following safety procedures and protocols, and making sure they keep themselves abreast of medical and technical advancements so they can perform their duties to the required standards.
3 QUICK TIPS TO HELP YOU PREPARE FOR A LABORATORY TECHNICIAN INTERVIEW
The following 3 tips will help you to get the most out of your pre-interview preparation time. Read the tips carefully and action them before you attend your lab technician interview.
LAB TECHNICIAN INTERVIEW TIP #1
Consider carefully why you want to be a lab technician for their organization. Write down a list of the things you find appealing about being a laboratory technician, and also consider the challenging aspects of the role, too.

LAB TECHNICIAN INTERVIEW TIP #2
Safety will be a key element of your lab technician interview. Therefore, it is important to revisit any training you have received in relation to safe working practices within laboratories, and to also consider what steps you would take in the event of an emergency situation.
