Re: Externship placement not up 2 Part,Am I wrong or What?

I agree with Matt. On first job, they will hire you based on your training, experience, and attitude. If the externship site gave you a good review, and perhaps a letter of recommendation, then that is a huge plus. Knowing how to doing things the old way is a tremendous plus for the exact reason Matt mentioned. It is the foundation beneath the modern way, which you have also learned and practiced in your clinical and admin lab (classroom). Now that you have all this under your belt, make sure you thank the externship site, ask whether they will recommend you, if a possible employer requests a verbal or written recommendation, and aim for your certification. School is OVER! Don't look back. Your focus is you 1st new job.
