So….. I finished school! Including 8 weeks of externship (which is working as a student in a doctor’s office). Did I mention it was unpaid and I had to wear the same color every day (ceil blue - I may never wear that color again)!
I enjoyed working as a medical assistant. The patients and the office staff loved me. But it was exhausting. You never sit down and multi-tasking becomes your first name. But I was excited when they offered me a job. I accepted. Even though they offered 0 benefits, less then ideal hours, and low pay….it was a job!
Then, plans changed………..
I received a phone call (out of the blue) from a company that I interviewed with twice in the last few years. They offered me a job with more pay, better hours, and awesome benefits. Plus I could dress like this (wearing a different colored blue, of course. This outfit was also for casual Friday, I dress up more Monday - Thursday):
And sit down all day (this is my desk):
I just couldn’t turn it down. I spent the last 1.5 years going to school to become a Medical Assistant and now I am working in accounting…..who knew it would turn out this way?! I did decide to work 1 Saturday a month at the doctor’s office to keep up my skills and to maintain the relationship.
Sometimes life takes some twists and turns, you just got to buckle up and roll with it!
