    esand replied to EduardoLugo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know who Goku is, and you probably shouldn't look like him at a job interview. XD I'd suggest either getting a haircut or buzzing it entirely. They won't care about your scars, I promise. All they...

    esand replied to EduardoLugo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  9. Question about training at a new job.

    esand posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
