How can a Web Developer get into Bioinformatics?
Mz: Pick up a copy of "What color is your parachute?"  Read up on the advice on informational interviews.  Do your best to find some contacts in this field and see if they will agree to an informational interview.  (Rule #1:  You are NOT networking at this point.  There can be no intent to finagle a job this way.)Someone higher up than me at my company (not a bioinformatics thing) told me that I might qualify for some positions that it doesn't look like I would because I have a strong-ish math background and they basically look for that and do the other training in house because they simply can't find people who already do what they need done.  So you might find that some jobs in bio-informatics follow a similar pattern.  This information is unlikely to be public knowledge or advertised openly in job descriptions.  You will need the inside scoop and that's where an informational interview would come in very handy.Good luck with this.
