Re: passed over for a job/ off the streets

A medical assistant can be hired off the street and trained. However, not hiring you at 8/hr vs some one for minimum wage that they have to train...does not seem like their office manager has very good math skill...it cost a lot of money to train some one from nothing...and if they do not spend that money and time to train some one off the streets properly they are putting their business at risk for pricey lawsuits. What is minimum wage in your state? In California it IS $8; granted it is the most expensive state to live in. Federal minimum wage is $7.25...so you have to at least be getting that...they are not saving that much by no hiring you. In the end, it seems like they lost out


I agree with all of this.....the practice manager made a bad choice!!

minimum wage is better than nothing
