Unfortunately, that is not the end of hard work; it is only the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we are going to look at how to plan for your medical assistant interview, to improve your chances of finding a job.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Work on your appearance<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a look that is anywhere far from professionally-looking can hurt your chances of getting hired. As you head for the interview, remember that there is only one chance to make a lasting first impression. As such, you should make sure you are well-kempt, are wearing appropriate outfits such as a suit, a decent skirt, or dress. Avoid flashy jewelry and maintain a minimalistic look. For the makeup, make sure you keep it to a minimum, trying to look as natural as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Do a background search<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best ways of impressing your interviewer is to prove that you know about their institution. The way to go about this is to research the company and grasp as much information as necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The internet offers one of the best ways to find information on the institution. Another way is to ask someone who works at the institution. When the interviewer asks \u2018Tell me something about our institution?\u2019 or \u2018What is our mission statement?\u2019 you should be ready with answers and it is only by preparing early enough that you will be less nervous when answering these questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Plan what you will bring to the interview<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being prepared gives you a competitive edge. Showing up to an interview without copies of your resume, notebook, or pen is planning to fail. You can imagine a scenario where the interviewer gives you an impromptu written interview and you start asking around for a pen. How embarrassing and unprofessional?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Medical assistants need to be prepared. Their main job is to offer administrative assistants to physicians and such lack of preparedness hurts your chances of being hired.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Research the common interview questions<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The internet offers a plethora of common medical assistant interview questions. One or two weeks before the interview, make sure you go through these questions. Consider preparing mock interview questions and having a friend or family member ask them. Answer them aloud to rate your proficiency. You might have trouble during the first couple of tries, but as you continue practicing, you will get better and will be ready for the interview in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Ask questions<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the end of the interview, your interviewer will most probably ask if you have any questions in regard to the position or the institution. Asking an intelligent question proves that you are sharp, and will be a great addition to the company.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medical assisting is a fast-rising career in the United States.
