Re: Need advice about possible job offers..confused bad timing!? New twist!!!

Hi there, I would not fax your resume to that peds office and not ask them anything. It would be better to take your resume down in person and ask to speak with the office manager, and dress professionally, and be professional. Don't seem desperate...they will see through it and they will see right through you. You should not tell people that you lack certain skills. Yesterday I told you that you have these skills and you should practice, practice, practice...Don't tell me there is nobody to practice on. As I told you what happened to you in the past, is just that the past. Be honest with yourself, and there are videos on you tube that you can watch over and over again. These are great tools. Here is something you might not know! A lot of the clinics use automatic B/P cuffs, which check your B/P, Pulse, Sat's. This cuts down on time for a lot of clinics. This does not replace taking your B/P manually which is how I still do it. Young lady: If you don't do your passion it can destroy you. I see great things in you, and so should you. It's inside you...now wake it up, and tell yourself that you are in control. Happy Easter.

Re: Need advice about possible job offers..confused bad timing!? New twist!!!

If I go to speak with the office manager, I wonder if they might interview me right then and there. I would have to wear my "interview outfit/suit". What if the hiring manager isnt there or isnt available? What should I say to him/her? Could I ask when do they plan on interviewing? How do I mention that I am interested in interviewing really soon because I am waiting to hear back from other possible job offers very soon? What if worse comes to worse and I have to fax it? Thanks and Happy Easter!

Re: Need advice about possible job offers..confused bad timing!? New twist!!!

Hi there, Yes wear your very best! If the manager isn't there or is not available, see if you can make an appointment to visit with him/her. Don't pressure the front desk person. Have a bunch of resumes made up and deliver them to all the clinics in that building, and all around that whole area, that way you didn't waste your time. It's a full time job looking for a job. The more ground work you do the more people will notice you and this can many doors for you. You might want to update your resume, and have a professional look at it. Remember the more you put into it chances are you will wind up with a god job. Young lady...prayer helps a lot to. Have a good day. Matt
