As my resume indicates, I graduated from American Institute with a Medical Assistant Certificate. My grade point average was 3.6 and I received honors when I graduated. In addition, I had excellent attendance. I’m well trained in administrative and clinical medical assisting and I’m a hard worker and dependable. I work well with other people and I am anxious to start my new career as a Medical Technologist. I have the skills and training to be an excellent Medical Assistant; I learn quickly and really want this job; I’m hard working and dependable; I work well with people and I am dedicated to being one of the best in my field. The work experience that I gained on my clinical externship and my thorough administrative and clinical training should allow me to become oriented to the work environment quickly allowing me to assume all of the job responsibilities in a short period of time. My major strength is my motivation to do an excellent job and become one of the best in my field. One of my major strengths is my energy. I enjoy working hard and getting the job done quickly as well as doing an excellent job. I believe my people skills are one of my major strengths. I get along well with my supervisors, coworkers and clients. This helps me in getting the job accomplished by having everyone’s cooperation. I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist. I want things to be done correctly. At times this can be frustrating because many people will only do a good enough job to get by. But, I like my work to be done very well. Therefore, I might spend time after work to get the job done to my satisfaction. I am very time oriented. I am never late for meetings and always meet project deadlines. This is sometimes frustrating to other people because they do not share my concern with time, as well as frustrating for me because many times people are late for meetings or wait until the last minute to finish their part of the project. I work very hard and when other employees don’t share that point of view and don’t do their best I find it frustrating. I know that I can’t change everyone’s attitude about work, but many times people will do a better job if you keep a positive attitude. I have been well trained in the administrative and clinical duties of medical assisting and gained actual work experience through a clinical internship in a Laboratory. I am skilled in analyzing chemistry procedures, Phlebotomist, EKG’s, patient scheduling, charting, claims processing, and various other medical assisting procedures, as well as, being familiar with the use of the computer. I enjoy working with people and believe that my strong communication skills along with my dedication and compassion will make me an effective Medical Assistant.
