Re: Finally found a job...and an excellent one at that!

I volunteered at a few hospitals and stayed current by constantly testing myself and re-read the notes I took for the CMA exam.

I was looking for a job for over a year and I too felt like I would never find a job, especially a good one at that. I was about to give up until I got a call back from a recruiter at the organization I applied to. I have no experience what so ever besides volunteering and my externship plus I've been out of work for over a year, but being certified and volunteering definitely helped me out in a huge way I didn't think was possible. I'm sure if I was bilingual, my starting pay would have been well over $20/hr starting.

....time to learn Spanish hahah

Your Professional Title/Credentials: CMA (AAMA)
