Re: Job interview next week!?

Danni's ECG example is right on.

We have 2 ECG machines at work. They are basically the same, yet most everyone seems to like the old one. The new one is spooky, scary, smooth and shinny! It does have a different user interface and is on a NEW cart... it is sort of the same as the other, you enter patient info and push start, then there is a different button for the rhythm strip. Ooooh, spooky scary new cart.

Your Professional Title/Credentials: CMA (AAMA)

Are You Still In School? nope

Are You Working? yep

Re: Job interview next week!?

I know you guys are right, and mean well. I just didnt want to possibly be hired and expected to do some things blood draws for example (never did one)..and have to be like I never did that before you know?! I just looked over the job ad again and it says "Two (2) years experience in a physicians office or equivalent, preferably family practice or internal medicine." Obviously she has my resume with my externship listed ( pediatrics)which was from the end of sept. to middle/end of December. I worked as a cashier for 4 years also. What can I possibly say to make that seem impressive? I mean on my reume it says I was part of the Honor Society and on the Dean's list...thats about it.
