Re: Getting a job

I was hired by the doctor's office where I did my extern******so. My last week, I left a resume' with the doctor I worked very closely with. (it was his private practice) He called me himself with a job offer after I graduated school($12 hr 15 rs ago). This was a great office to start my career. I was hired as a MA and two months down the road the office took a major change, the doctor was starting the first step in inventing a method of birth control and I was his right hand,I was promoted to Office Manager, hiring staff and running the office and assisting in his priviate project of birth control, writing reports for FDA, filing forms for Grant Funds(he had a lab build in the office, we hired lab staff) The best start of a career. To this day I am thankful we found one another. This is unbelievable to me......and it happened to me. I miss him, he is very sick now but I am greatful for him.
