Would This Be An Ok Way To Look For A Medical Assisting Job?
I graduated last year with an associates in medical assisting and still have not found a job. I live in a small town, with all small towns around it. I look in all the local papers, and job posting websites and nothing.
Would it be ok to just make up a cover letter and resume and mail it to all the doctors offices in the area? Or should I go in and hand it to them in person. I know a lot of the offices are busy, so I wouldn’t want to make them mad by going in while they were busy.
Thanks!

Personally, i would hand them in. BUT, I would go at a time where traditionally offices are less busy–such as first thing in the am or at the lunch break. Then I would ask if the office manager has a few minutes & talk briefly to that person. Practice a small short speech so you come across as prepared, poised etc and are not hemming & hawing & wasting time. Dress nice. If they look uninterested do not push it, thank them & leave. I think if you mail them in, most will just go into the trash.
