Yeah, I hear you there. The best way to get a job is to get experience on a resume or portfolio.

The work they put into something like this seems inane until you think about it and you realize that projects like this can be put into a portfolio to prove you have the skills and experience to apply your education.

I know that when I couldn't get a job (because IT isn't a worker saturated industry, amirite?) I put in a lot of voulonteer work to get reccomendations and proven work ours in. Not so much applicable for biotechnology (depending widely on whatever her specialty), but it's still worth looking at.
