As someone who's making a late pivot in career due to 2020 and other circumstances, this channel will be invaluable. Thank you!

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Thanks for watching. This is an excellent community of technicians. If you ever have any questions, ask away..

[@nicolemarsh1391]

Thank you for this video! =) A lot of great tips.

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@moerateb]

Very insightful. I ran across this video from the Newington Facebook page. I have an electronics degree and have been looking into doing Biomed as a career. The tips you give are really great for communicating with people in the field, so as to not be too pushy or not showing any motivation. Sometimes it is hard to know how to put feelers out for positions. Thanks again!

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Thanks for watching

[@MeFixingEverything]

Good ideas , thank for share.

[@adrianmanuel82]

very informative 👏. just starting this career and just watching his videos, I learned a lot. now I'm biomed 3, as a leader and who knows going to supervisor.

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

That's excellent news!

[@drgnlvr22]

Please try! We need so many talented people! Teens need to realize the awesome technology in biomedical!

[@drgnlvr22]

I am a Biomed who is very concerned about social media and posting stuff. HIPAA is something so important to our profession. Instagram has to be careful. Be safe biomeds on posting!

[@jeremyrodriguez5923]

I’ve got an interview this Tuesday 😊

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Good luck!

[@ericgrimes6456]

I really appreciate your insights here, thank you. If you don't mind me taking a moment of your time, I'm in a bit of a pickle and could use some assistance. I am a recent grad from HCC's Electrical Engineering Associates Program, with an emphasis in Biomed. I am currently at DaVita, but looking for an established hospital position. Without previous Biomed work experience it's been a challenge to catch a second glance from what little hiring is happening. My question is: is there anything you would recommend I do in the way of online accreditation ( or anything for that matter) that could potentially catch the eye of a hiring supervisor? For example, I found Hamilton's online learning 'college', but the C1 Ventilator certification seems directed more toward nursing and general use, not Biomed repair and maintenance. I was able to make it to a couple of the HTMA general meetings at Ben Taub, but now that that's all shut down it's difficult to know how to direct my focus/time/energy. Really at a loss for how to get things moving, any advice would certainly be appreciated.

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Eric, when you find a hospital you'd like to work for, do your research on biomeds at that location. Use LinkedIn, use Facebook and Google. Its a misconception that accreditation gets you more jobs. Being personable and driven gets you the job. Try to reach out to the Biomed manager - ask existing biomeds for assistance in getting contact info. Good luck. Never give up. Ive been turned away from many positions (usually because they already have a designated candidate before the job is obligatory posted)

[@xecro02]

I wish I came across this channel years ago, now i can finally quit my machinist job 😂

[@haki3121]

Thank you for the information! I just got out as a calibration technician and have been recommended to go into this field despite only calibrating and troubleshooting aviation equipment. I have the electrical and mechanical skills however new to the medical field. Will the companies still see me as valuable and if not Any recommendations on certs to be more valuable? Thank you for your time

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

I recommend studying and taking the CABT exam. You certainly can have a future in this career. Let me know what city you're looking for employment in. I can find you something.

[@jmartin2064]

I've worked as a rigid scope technician for over 10 years. It's been fine but what and where can I go with this work experience. I have a high school diploma and want to continue my education. Your videos are awesome.

[@indiopatarajada9670]

Provided you’re in the US, go to any local community college with a Electronics technology program.

[@funwithcoffee]

What are some names of vendors that have a lot of reps in the field? You mentioned them in the video, but it would be helpful to have them spelled out.

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Google: top medical equipment manufacturers

[@Johnsmith-yv8tx]

Thank you, it was beneficial but I wanted to ask, what is the name of that machine behind you, is it 3D and what u have it for?

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

The machine behind me is a CNC router that I designed and built myself. This would be the 4th machine that I've built. One is at a custom guitar maker in Los Angeles, One at a sign shop in Georgetown SC, and one is at a custom woodwork shop in Raleigh NC.

[@bestcity0979]

Are associates degrees going to help?

[@markanthony1004]

I’m just hoping GE calls me back for that apprenticeship at Methodist Hospital

[@radnukespeoplesminds]

Im trying to get into BMET eith a bachelors in biomedical engimeering. I dont have any experience but i wamt health insurance, got any tips?

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Contact medical equipment vendors on LinkedIn. Apply for BMET1 positions.

[@asmaseraj2159]

Hi sir, Thanks alot for all this informative materials 💙 Could you please help me to review my resume 😃

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Sure. Send to [e-mail]

[@lopezchris1987]

Man Im an E5 BMET now and I feel like I will need to make some lifestyle changes if I gotta take a job making 60k a year 😞

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Your resume and your interview skills greatly improve your salary negotiations- treat it as a real negotiation. If you need any help finding jobs, let me know. I have a very large network of hospitals and biomeds. You should be making $65-$70k with 5+ yrs experience.

[@marcodia3443]

I have a question. I went to Anaheim for 7 months to S.C.I.T. South California Institute of Technology. To get my diploma for Biomed. Why is that none of the companies appreciate my diploma and wants the CBET ? Did I do the school for nothing?

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Write me at [e-mail]

[@ekowest]

Need your help on my Resume, Am a BMET bit cant find work

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Write me at [e-mail]

[@jandrogibs4451]

any luck ?

[@naitsabesnebur25]

What the difference between biomedical Equipment Technician and Biomedical clinical engineering.

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

There is Biomedical Equipment Technicians and then there are Clinical Engineers and then there are Biomedical Engineers. BMETS are the worker bees. they actually repair and maintain the equipment. Clinical Engineers will run projects and often Biomed Shops. Biomedical Engineers often design and manufacturer medical devices and medical technology

[@andreaespinel8731]

Do you have an advise for recent graduate who does not have experience in the field?

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

I have made several videos on the topic. I can tell you, although there are many positions open, it's still competitive. Study up on anatomy, general electronics and hospital structure

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Good luck Andrea, remember that the community (youtube, reddit, local associations, Biomed Facebook pages and Discord) is here to help if you have questions.

[@DumpThump]

Love your videos but the resume was upside down.

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

The video was reversed in post processing.. I gotta figure out why it tends to do that.. sorry man.

[@brandonplank4233]

Elon Musk's resume is 1 page . Resumes should be 1 page

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

Not always. A simplified resume which includes all work experience and all training / education for a senior biomed would easily be over 1 page.
