A month? That’s like a Disney Fast Pass.

funnylike

Just got an ‘A’ last Friday, but have had a lot of ‘Bs’ followed by a few ‘Cs’.

Be angry, mad, whatever for the Bs and Cs for a day, then pretend they never happened and move on to the next.

It will happen, but you’ve gotta keep you head and stay in the game.

Aren’t those the only options

B: 4 month process 🙄 including Interviews + a presentation of my IP.

Yup. I typically ask for feedback just so they can say out loud that they really have none.

I had an A that after 3mos “forgot” the salary that they had told me only to realize it was suppose to be significantly lower...

Of course.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation.

Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
