10. Tell me a story
Two years ago I was looking for a new job. I went to a lot of
interviews. Most of them were of Medical Billing and just a few of
Secretary because the majority asked for a diploma. I was very
enthusiastic because of that new start that I was about to experience.
To all of the interviews I went they told me that I was not the
candidate that they were searching because I didn’t have the
experience that was required for the position. I was very
disappointed and mad because they didn’t gave the young people the
opportunity to gain experience in the workplace. They should give
them a chance so that the young people can demonstrate their
abilities. After months of searching, there was a company called
FactuM, who was looking for students with a Diploma on Medical
Billing, I went to an interview and they gave me the opportunity to
work with them as a Medical Billing.

may not finish it on time.

working overtime but for others working overtime causes stress.
