The Job Search Continues
Feb. 23rd, 2009 12:46 pmI filled out an application for Emerald Staffing, and now I feel kinda icky. Bleh.
Especially since the reason I filled it out is because someone is hiring medical records in NW Portland for $14 an hour, which is almost two bucks more than I was making before.
The job listed required Centricity, which is the program my last job used. I can't help but wonder if I just applied for my old job. o_O But lots of people use Centricity and there's certainly more medical offices in NW Portland than my old one.
I HATE FILLING OUT APPLICATIONS. I can't remember how much I made at The Portland Clinic. I don't remember my supervisor's full name. Same with Fred Meyer, for fuck's sake, that was six years ago.
I do have to say, that it's handy to have someone in my house who does the hiring where she works:
"Hey, what should I put down for the reason I left my last job?"
"You're looking for new opportunities. Which is technically true, isn't it? You can always give them more information later."
I don't want to do medical records again, but it's what I have four years of experience doing. Nobody wants to train front desk/receptionist/scheduling people who don't already know how to do it, because there's so many people who do know how to do it.
I'm applying for the front desk job of a chiropractor/massage therapist's office anyway. They've said they're willing to train and that they're looking for someone who has experience working with natural health providers. Well, gee, my last office had naturopathic doctors and acupuncturists. :^) It's a part-time job and way the fuck out at like NE 150-something. Hah, I'd get my exercise, that's for sure.
