Resumes

April 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Hi everyone,
Remember that Sarah said you can take your Resumes to Barbara today for her to look at. This is a very good idea!! That way, you can have a really nice one to take to the job fair on Friday.

Even if you aren’t graduating this quarter or next quarter, you should still take a resume. Some places will hire you if you are still in school.
Good luck!! Email me if you need help or have any questions.

Some notes from class on Friday 4/4/08

April 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Today we talked about Chapter One: Making a Commitment to Your Job. The videos demonstrated different areas of working in the Medical Office, such as:

  • being attentive (paying attention to the patients)
  • knowing your job (know what you are expected to do, and how to do it)
  • committing to your job (respect the company you work for; you are a part of a team)
  • maintaining confidentiality (don’t share private information)
  • complying with legal standards (remember the laws! For example, don’t sign someone else’s name or use someone else’s password)

Here are some words that were used in class today:

diligent – someone who is diligent works hard and is careful and thorough

optimist – someone who believes that good things will happen.

optimistic – thinking that things will be better, easier, or more successful than is actually possible:

pessimist – someone who always expects that bad things will happen

pessimistic – expecting that bad things will happen in the future or that something will have a bad result

competence – the ability to do something well
