You could go to a medical assistants site such as "Advanced Medical Assistants" and post a thread on there,a poll,to find out just how many actually found a job,and how long did it take etc. Or start a thread on here and ask all those that respond to (only) say if they did at all and how many in their class did also. I know of one in my class of 11 that did.
I had a temp one at first and no luck since then,and this is 2 years later. What I HAVE had luck with in recent months are onsite health screening jobs. There are plenty of these companies popping up all the time,looking for all sorts of medical professionals.

Betty-
Have you posted on the "Rip Off Report" website yet? I would recommend anyone who is disgusted with their school to do that,and NAME it. So many are wondering about a school they want to attend and they should be able to check it out on there. Read the testimonials on there about Sanford Brown and Everest. They will make you sick.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THEIR SITE YET,BUT WILL ! WHAT A SHAME HUH ?ARE YOU A MEDICAL ASSISTANT GRADUATE TOO? THANKS FOR THE INSIGHT ! GOOD LUCK, WE HAVE BEEN SCAMMED,AND THESE SCHOOLS ARE MAKING BILLIONS,NATION WIDE ! THIS NEEDS TO STOP............WE CAN TRY ...LOL WE CAN ONLY TRY ! THANKS AGAIN !

Betty-I sent you an email but it was sent back to me. My email address is in my profile(click on the"LC"). I finished school 2 years ago and have had one interview,and several near misses at getting something. Once I discovered there are EIGHT medical assisting programs in this area (many of them with terrible reputations),I realized most of us don't have much of a chance of finding anything,not without the right connections-which most of us are not lucky enough to have. All the jobs are filled around here by word of mouth. Meaning,when a position becomes available,they don't advertise it but ask around. It's not a matter of having so much experience but the right recommendations. That's the duty of a "Job Coordinator" at a school but obviously a lot of them aren't doing the job. Even if they find something for you,you have to accept ridiculously low wages which is hard if you were regaled with all that talk about how high this field pays.

I am currently looking for a full time job as a Medical Assistance I am CPR certified I graudated with high honers.fast learner I have completed one hundred sixty hours of extern hours were it allowed me to perform varies duties as well as observe. I have not had any luck with finding a job due to lack of experience.

Sorry about that, my e-mail address is .net,not .com. If you have any feed-back, my correct address is betty000@comcast.net thanks a lot.

Hello, I am sorry my address was wrong, it is, betty000@comcast.net Good luck to you too,we have so many of us out there now ! So many schools lying to us, I feel like a fool, for they tricked a lot of us! I have heard this is a multi-billion dollar buisness a year, it needs to be stopped,and the schools held accountable for their lies! I will try to see what recourse we could take, They need to be exposed. This was, and still is, not right! I am thinking of picketing in front of my school. This would be a great time, new students will be looking to start a career! I am not working! I will have the time after I apply to jobs on line, and in the newspaper. I might go to corporate first, and ask for my money back. (LOL) I am also going to call several High Schools to expose these money making, false promising schools. I hope others do the same. What do you think of my chances of getting reimbursed? If the school knows I mean business, they would lose a lot of new enrollements!

I am a medical assisatnt who will be graduating in May 2008 . I am fluent in Spanish and will be looking for employment after graduation. I am interested in the position.

Hi, I am sorry,but I am not the person who put this job opening on. Please check again,and you will find the right person. I am a medical assistant also. I have been searching for a job almost 5 months now! I feel we have been ripped off by our schools! Did your school offer you job placement? Did they tell you how much you would be making to start? Did they tell you there was a high demand for medical assistants? Well SEACOAST CAREER SCHOOLS, MANCHESTER NEW HAMPSHIRE DID! They lied. You have an edge on most of us though, you can speak spanish, I live in an area where lots of people speak spanish. Keep putting that on your resume, and to every one you interview with! Good luck to you, and to all of us! Keep writing to let us all know if you find a job. Thanks

HI EVERYONE YOUR COMMENTS HAVE BEEN SO HELPFUL I HAVE APPLIED AT SO MANY PLACES, I APPLIED AT A TEMP AGENCY CALLED PRO-MED AND THEY FOUND ME A POSITION FOR GUESS THIS ONE DAY! I HAD MY HOPES UP THAT THIS WAS THE JOB FOR ME BUT THE TEMP AGENCEY DID NOT TELL ME IT WAS FOR ONE DAY.SO I FINISHED MY OND DAY IT WENT WELL THEY SAID THEY CAN USE ME PER DIEM, IM GLAD THEY TOOK SOME LIKING TO ME. I HAVE MADE A CHOSE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL (COLLEGE).I MADE A BIG MISTAKE BY GOING TO THESE TRAINING SCHOOL, YOU LIVE AND YOU LEARN AND IM LEARNING THE HARD WAY. SO GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WERE ARE GOING TO COME OUT OF THIS ON TOP!

I do not blame you for not being happy about your school! You are being ripped off. My advice to you would be to STOP going to your school. I am a graduate of SEACOAST CAREER SCHOOLS, in MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE. Oh, the things they promise us! Sure it sounds great, read through this forum, and you will see how others have been scammed too! This really nice person saw my postings on the forum, and she sent me an article on CBS. 20-20 did a story on these types of schools. They even sent a decoy in to apply to be a medical assistant! She was told every thing we were. She told them she was a drug addict,and that she did not like blood, she failed the test on purpose!!! Guess what? She got in! LOL Our own government has and still helps students get funding even knowing these schools make false promises. I just read the story last night, I am still in shock! The story was done in 2005, too late for me. I was scammed, after doing all that hard work, and paying their tuition, I too, fell for the hope, and that is the only thing they are selling, the hope! Please keep writing to let us know what is happening to you. We hope to get some kind of media coverage again. Good luck to you and to all of us!

I would like a copy of that news story please. Thanks.

Here is the section about that-
"But not everything at Career Education Corporation is fashion or business. Its Sanford Brown Institutes prepare students for careers in health care; training ultrasound and cardiovascular technicians; and medical and surgical assistants.

The admission representative told the associate producer that the school was highly selective. So MacDonald did everything she could to disqualify herself for admission to become a MEDICAL ASSISTANT, a nine-month program that costs almost $13,000 prepares students for entry-level positions.

When lousy grades and prior drug use weren’t enough to get her rejected, she tried a different approach. She told them she had a "problem with blood." The representative told her that “98 percent of our students have a problem with blood. The first day of the module, they don’t hand you a syringe and say, 'Go for it.'”

The school did require the associate producer to take an admission test. She intentionally flunked it, getting just 7 out of 50 questions correct. But the school allowed her to take another test with different questions. This time, the admission representative said she had doubled her score to 14 out of 50, and that was just good enough to qualify for admission.

Although it was easy to get in, all the counselors told MacDonald she would have to work hard and attend class to complete the course. But Hanson says what CEC is most interested in is tuition.

“They want to say that the student comes first, but I think it becomes obvious to anybody that works in the school, that the student does not come first,” says Hanson.

Where does the student come? “The student comes with how many dollar signs are attached to them. And anything after that is secondary,” says Hanson.
