Participating in continuing education and taking advantage of career resources can help you tap into hidden opportunities. Here’s a few tips to get started.

Continuing education opportunities. Check out organizations like the American Society of Microbiology. Membership will cost you about $39 a year, and you’ll get access to a variety of continuing education opportunities, which look great on your resume.
