Getting a medical assistant job right out of school is tough since many offices prefer hands-on experience. Highlight clinical rotations, temp or per diem roles, networking, current certifications, and soft skills like communication and reliability. Persistence pays off. Once you land the first job, it gets easier. Have you gotten any hands-on experience through rotations or internships, or are you relying mainly on school training?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
