Hi Heather! I am also a medical assistant, I live in Lancaster,CA.I have been looking for work up here for a couple months now. The drive from here to the Valley is just not working for me anymore and I would like to work up here now,since I just bought a house. I have tried the Antelope Valley Hospital and haven't heard back. I think if you try in person you'll have better luck. Good Luck!!!!!!!

First of all I think you should take a lesson or two in spelling and proper sentencing structure. appreciate is spelled wrong and I think you meant response not respond. I am an CCMA-AC, EMT-B and you must keep perfect records in the medical field.

To Whom It May Concern: I apologize for the miss spelled words. I thought I hit the check spelling on the computer before I sent my letter. Thank you for bringing that to my attention I do appreciate your advice and help. Heather Johnson

First of all this is her mother and I sent that letter for her. I'm disabiled and I would think you would be more helpful in your professional then be harmful to another person. I think you may need a class to become more caring, helpful and more profession before you start caring for patience. Hope that helps you

I think any positive criticism should be taken into consideration. If medical assistants are to be seen as an appendage of the doctor's
personality ,we must represent a high standard of professionalism. We are called to be educated to this standard. Speaking to patients',
nurses, and other allied health professionals ,is a daily event. If nurses in other fields are to acknowledge our contribution to medicine,
we must make our efforts: diligent, consistent, and continue to educate ourselves. This includes proper enunciation, spelling, and
so forth. Before there was spell-check, there was a Dictionary. Let us raise the bar together. Including or respective English/Spanish
languages being spoken properly. Good luck to you. The secretary's reference book is a good one for all of us to have on hand. We
can reduce or linguistic errors, as much as possible. You sound very motivated to succeed in the medical profession. Hopefully,
you will have a good mentor.

Thank you for your response which I have read. It takes people like you and the advice you offer that helps people better themselves. I do appreciate you giving me your comments they did help.

Heather, I am glad to hear that people are still trying to find positions at KP. You might want to check at the local HR department in the Facility in your area. Also ask them when the next Hiring Fair is scheduled. Good Luck

Thank you for your help and nice suggestion. I will take your advice and help.

The suggestions for proper spelling and English syntax are not being disrespectful. It is called constructive criticism. This idea has been addressed hundreds of times on the internet. It is particularly critical in the area of seeking employment.

There are so many things in life that give a negative impression and the idea is to avoid them at all cost when looking for a job. Spelling and syntax are an indication (as another has said) of attention to detail.

In this particular case, one begins to wonder if this Heather person should be hired if she does not have the ability to even write her own messages on the internet. We wonder if Heather has basic computer skills (also needed in the medical profession these days). Also, a person who still relies on "Mom" to find her way through life may not be mature enough for the business world yet.

this is heather's mom again I should have never got on the computer I was just being silly, I'm to old and don't think sometimes sorry. My daughter is very smart and she was upset that I replied to this letter.

Heather, I called kaiser's human resource department , and they gave me a lead, and I went this week to take a typing test for clerical, I passed it, I am only waiting for there response for an interview, they mentioned it will take a couple of weeks, so give them a call, I'm sure they will help you, and good luck-

Thanks for the good news.Good luck in your hopefully soon new job.

First, this is her motherand I would think if you are a professional person, you would realize I have a disability and I'm trying to learn more and more about my profession and get better at it. For someone who should her duties and be professional, your not!!!
Maybe you should take a course in professional attitude check towards people. I could just image how you treat your fellow works and patients. Sorry, to be so hard but look in the mirror before you down other people.

I only wrote these messeges because at the time my daughter was in a car accident and couldn't. Before you attack someone get the facts, have some compassion for the disable people, don't look to put people down. Remember, you were there once to, so try being understand of a person who is injuried.

WELL GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY THAT GOT A JOB AT KAISER HOPE I GET ONE TOO

I'll say a pray that you do get a job you want.

I think you need a learn in manor's yourself. Hope I'm not one of your patients, your rude and you should maybe have a attitude of helping, then I'd give you a 10 but right now it's maybe a -1. Sorry Joyce

This response was not written by Heather, it was written by me her mom. If you are a professional person, I don't think I would like you working for me either with a poor attitude like yours, I thought this web site was to help people that need alittle help but not the way you handle it. Thanks but no thanks From one professional to another Joyce

laquita jenkins in atlanta, Georgia said: how was the medical assistant exam im currently studying for it please reply

I took the test and if you study it not as hard as people say. You do get time to look over the test, you get a paper to write stuff down you might forget and they do explain alot to you. Well good luck Joyce

I am a Certified Medical assistant and I am not having any luck finding a job out here. Antelope Valley Medical College says that they will help you find a job but I graduated in August and still havent found a job and they havent helped me either. So if you are going to Antelope Valley Medical College dont be fooled that they will find you a job because they dont... Well if anyone knows of anywhere to look for a job please let me know thank you very much...

Here's a web page for LA county. www.hr.co.la.ca.us try this one if I think of anymore I'll let you know.

Oh my GOD! Enough with the english gramar lecture. Yes your job description is being able to make a full and complete assessment but you are rude and the nice thing to say would have been just work on your spelling, you'll do fine. It is not a requierement to have perfect spelling and grammar. For your info. Have a nice day. ;-)

I acually would love an EMT job at the front in an urgent care. Take some vitals and make assessment it sounds like an awesome job!!!

I think you meant manners. Is this correct? You're rude would be the correct way to write that. My advice to all is to take some writing classes. I took both 49 and 115. It helped me more than I can say here. Good luck!

That's a matter of opinion. Highly educated individuals you will be working for or with will not agree that it is okay to write poorly.
