looking for medical office job....please help

[dennysgirl84]

Hello. I have not been on here in such a long time. School is finally out and taking the summer off. But I have a dilema....

I am still in school (as stated above) which I have not yet completed my general nursing classes. I would LOVE to get a job as a receptionist in a hospital or even a doctor's office. I am currently employed but it's not even related to my schooling and I hate it so much. I am a loan servicing specialist for Sallie Mae. If I was a finance major, I may like it more, but it's not for me. Although, I do not compromise my stats and work hard to meet the department and team goals. My supervisor is thrilled with my success as I have been there for only 90-days.

Anyway, I was wondering what can or should I do to even get my resume looked at by a hospital or office? My school offers a certificate program for Medical Office Specialist which I plan to start in the Fall, as well as finish my general Nursing classes. I would attend classes full-time this summer, like I have for the past few semesters, but all the classes that I need to complete in the general nursing and the certificate program are not offered for summer only for Fall and Spring semesters.

I am excited to hear from you soon!

When I was in nursing school, I applied for a job as a nurses aide at a local hospital. It was one where I wanted to work after I graduated. When I started working there as a RN, my time as an aide counted toward my seniority. I started out with more vacation time than my classmates working at the same hospital and also worked less holidays my first year. You may want to look into that option.
