The thing that has helped me the most is the confidence I gained while working in the lab. In lab classes, we worked with a variety of different materials and instruments, and learned a wide range of techniques that really advanced my lab skills. This helped to put me ahead of other students in my MLS class so that I could learn the necessary procedures while my classmates were still learning basic lab skills.
