Certified Medical Assistant

Frustration

I've gone through 2 jobs that were both nightmares. I'm really starting to think there are no normal 8-4 - 9-5 jobs with no weekends. Not to mention, Certified Medical Assistants do the majority of the work for the least amount of pay. I'm so burnout on interviews leading to nowhere, 10 hour shifts, and no time for anything but sleep. I kind of feel betrayed by my school. Also, I get a lot of...." Thank you for inquiring about the position but we've decided to go with someone else who has a bit more experience. Good luck!!"

I know what your going through. I was there myself years ago. I was fortunate to get a job I loved doing for 31 years. Nowadays, jobs are all part time.

Professional Driver at Werner Enterprises

Many years ago I was a CNA. I was able to find work, but sometimes it was pretty crappy and I eventually moved on. A lot of people are sadly in your boat and the job market can be really discouraging. I endured many pay cuts and even a 120 mile daily commute just to get my foot back into the job market. I'm glad I didn't give up and I hope neither will you.

National Certified Medical Assistant

I am also a Certified Medical Assistant looking for work. It's been 3 months and my school still hasn't found me any interviews but 2 in that time. I am tired of jobs wanting experience 1to 3 yrs. If you are a new grad you will not have that much of experience but are qualified to work in the field, someone should give us a chance to get the experience. So I feel your pain.

I had an interview today no call, no nights, no weekends. I asked him three times. And he said well maybe a saturday towards the end of the year in December. And we all know in the medical field December is the month is the busiest.
Look at the clinics nothing was with Hospital in the name.
