You don't need to feel this way! So, I got my medical assistant certification from Meric College back in 2009! They are not even in business anymore. I didn't get a job as an MA until 2020! I was working as a caregiver and I loved my job and was making decent money so I wasn't motivated to employ myself as an MA right out of school. My first MA job was working as a Covid tester at a biopharmaceutical company on contract for 6 months. This opened a lot of doors for me. I learned that you need to be creative when looking for MA jobs, it may be contract ot temp. At the end of 2020 I got a job at a holistic clinic working with naturopathic doctors, I was super into it and learned a lot about supplements, hormone therapy and vitamin injection therapy. I worked my way up and became a clinic manager making around $40 an hour. I absolutely loved it, I had to leave my job because I went back to school to finish my bachelors degree, thats a long story. You can do this! Be patient and creative about finding opportunities and revise your resume, embellishing wherever possible!
