Writing tips
- License + Prometric + DataFlow status belong in the headline — Gulf lab hiring starts there.
- Name your sections (chemistry, heme, micro, blood bank) — generalists match more ATS filters than 'lab tech'.
- Accreditation experience (CAP, ISO 15189) is gold; name the standard and your role in the audit.
- ASCP or equivalent international certification doubles your callback rate — put it beside the local license.
