experience as a CLS candidate

I just graduated college with a BS in Medical Technology (3.89 GPA) in Dec 2025 with zero research/clinical lab experience. I have a phlebotomy license and have been applying and searching for work the last 6mo. I just landed a job with a company, smaller than a large biotech company, that focuses on Agronomy. My position is labeled as Lab Tech where I will work on doing extractions of samples for further testing. It’s more chemistry/analytical work, but would this be considered as experience when it comes to applying to CLS programs?
