Externship is DONE!!

I just completed 200 hours for my externship. I am so GLAD to be done! I am ready to work. I have had two interviews already and have another this coming Monday. I've been answering every ad that I qualify for (and even some that I don't).

Will post when I've got a position. I have a feeling by the end of this week I will be employed as a Medical Assistant! :)

Hi Jenny,

Have you heard anything about that interview?

Good luck! I am so excited to be done with school and officially an MA but I'm terrified of the job search. Let us know when you know something!!

Hey Tex:

The last job interview was a bust. I was one of three people scheduled to be interviewed by the doctors in the practice. I was scheduled second to be interviewed, and the docs decided to hire the first person they interviewed. Didn't even have a chance.

However, I am not giving up. I worked too hard to just throw in the towel now.

Sorry to hear about your interviews. I think you have the right attidude. It will pay off for you. Here in Florida, its a hotbed of opportunities. The amount of interviews alone has proven that. Just keep on with the right attidude. It will happen for you. I got my fingers crossed.

YES!!! I was hired today by one of the places I interviewed with weeks ago. Apparently the first person they hired did not work out. It's not always bad to be a runner-up! :)
