Re: Medical Assistant tips on getting a job

This was very good,thank you for sharing it. I like what he has to say about cover letters.

I wish the doctor in the article had mentioned what to do if you are given a question in an interview that is WAY off the subject matter. I once had one given to me that I have to wonder is what ruined the interview. I was asked "If you could meet anybody famous,living or dead,who would it be and what would you ask them?" I was NOT prepared in the least for such a question (which the doctor said he asked all those he interviewed) and became flustered because I couldn't THINK of an answer so I said something lame like "I would have to think about that". I kinda felt myself crumbling from then on, and wasn't surprised when I didn't get the job. I told myself to be prepared for oddball questions like that in the future,and to say anything,hopefully humorous.
