what is the best way to look for medical office jobs?

We Answered:

Using Google make a list of all medical offices in your area. Search within a comfortable commute radius. Call each location and ask for the hiring/office manager.

When the hiring manager gets on the phone offer a standard greeting. Then do not let them say anything else, and state without interruption:
(Your own spin)

I’ve lived in _____ for ____ years. I have driven by your office several times and heard a lot of _______(good things) about your organization. I have been in ______(field) for ___(years). I really enjoy ________(doing/your experience). I am really interested in a _____ (job title). You are within a reasonable commute from my home in ____(city). Having a job of this nature in my own back yard would be really exciting. Do you have any current or anticipated job openings?

No

Do you mind if I call you back in a few weeks? When do you normally do your hiring?

Managers frequently speak with other managers… Ask for referrals they are golden. “I know this is a long shot but do you know anyone else who is hiring? I really want to stay in this field(possibly insert a reason) within a reasonable commute).

When you call the referral let them know where you got their number. Say, “Bob at ____ said I should call then go into your pitch”


This takes 30 seconds. It shows desire, passion, initiative, creativity and demonstrates you are willing to put effort into your job search, and pin point organizations rather than blindly throw resumes at the board.

Use your time on the phone with them wisely; be a detective take notes. Expect to make 100 of these calls. Expect to get 1-10% referrals pending on how savvy you are. When you apply in a few weeks, months or interview use this information!

I apologize I am at work, and am unable to detail this or present it with more clarity. However, this is the general idea.

• When someone is getting fired/replaced you find about openings of that nature(Companies often do not place these to the public)
• You find about internal openings
• You find out about potential openings
• You find out about openings companies farm out to 3rd parties
• You might create an opening
………. on and on goes the list – understand?

What jobs can i get with a medical office management degree?

We Answered:

It depends on the classes in your curriculum. If you know how to do MT, coding, billing, you could do that. You could get work for a medical insurance company too. Good luck!

Thelma Said:

Thinking of getting my assoc. degree in medical office coordinating? Are there a lot of jobs openings? Is this?

We Answered:

I don't know you, your background, age, etc. But think about this for a moment. You NEED to go back to school. Why settle for a two-year-degree? Dream big. Go big. It will pay off eventually even if the job market is slow.

The people I've interviewed in my career who have two-year-degrees have never been able to answer one question. Why didn't you finish? Get a bachelors, and doors will open for you. An associates is nice, but it's limited, and right now nobody can afford to put limitations on themselves.
