Hello Maria,
I would look for smaller private owned labs if possible rather than large hospitals. After applying follow up with an email or a phone call to the company. Let the hiring manager know that you have up to date certifications/licenses and are looking to get back into the lab, that you are flexible and excited to learn new protocols. Personally, I would rather hire someone who has a bit of a break in their experience over someone who has spent 15 years at the same location as they tend to come into the lab with bad habits that are difficult to train out or they come in and try to change the protocols to what they used to do rather than adhere to the protocols that are in place.
I wish you luck in your job search!

Hello, I have been out of practice for a long time. My licenses are up to date. But I can't get a job because I don't have recent experience.
How can I do this I will work for free for a while if necessary.
