I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I really desperately need a job right now to get in my PCE hours for PA school as a 3rd year undergraduate.

I personally have 1.3 years of experience as a medical assistant volunteer at a free clinic and I really want to get into Sutter for their high quality level of care for their patients.

I keep getting rejected. I’ve been through 2 interviews, then offered 1 interview (then ghosted since I replied 2 days later— they were offering interview after 24 hours of sending the interview). I did not pass either of them. The most recent interviewer said she would contact me today to let me know the results, but it’s approaching the off hours of the clinic and I think she’s going to reject me. I was supposed to get a clinical assessment on Tuesday if I passed the interview.

I applied to 30 jobs, with 1.3 years of experience as an MA volunteer. Got a certification from NHA, trained virtually by US Career Institute. I’m from the Sacramento-Davis area in California.

What can I do better? What helped you pass your interview?

I did my training online with US career institute, so I’ve never been able to practice injections. Should I just be upfront and say that I am not confident with doing injections but I am willing to learn under the guidance of a provider?

They will be assessing me on basic medical assistant skills if I passed the first interview round.

Just wondering, is it improper to do that? Or does it make sense because most people usually don’t need the priority seating?
