I found my current position at Luminex in Austin, Texas through the GAIN networking dinner. At the time, Luminex was not looking to hire a chemical engineer with my specialized background. But by word of mouth and the circulation of my resume through the company, I was extended the opportunity to interview. Now, I am in the midst of setting up my own lab.
