Interviews for the second internship rotation are in the bag as of 10:45 am this morning, I had my interview today went the Front Desk. I think I will gain lots of new expereiences from either position. Now we wait til Monday when they announce who got what positon. I am anxiously awaiting this announcement and am crossing my fingers I get the Cardiovascular Rehab internship.
Today was my last day in the Oncology Center. I am very sad to leave that department behind and will miss everyone a great deal. They were all very welcoming and helpful to me.

Interviews
I was caught by surprise when I got to work on Wednesday and found I had an interview at the Cardiovascular Center at 9:00. It went well and I feel very confident about getting the position. My friend Kim also interviewed for the job and she feels her interview went well too. If I don't get this job this rotation it will be first on my list for next rotation. My next interview is at 10:30 on Tuesday at the Front Desk. Crossing my fingers and hoping it goes well.
If those two positions do not pan out one alternative is the Senior Center and another is possibly talking to my job trainer to see if I can stay on at the Oncology Center Front Office for the next rotation since no one has interviewed for that position.

Step 1: Job Shadowing
This week we have been going around to different department shadowing the different positions and see what they do in various departments. It's a really good idea because it helps us to narrow down our choices and decide which deparments are not a good fit for us.
Here is the list of places I am considering applying at
1st Choice Cardiovascular Center
#1 2nd Choice Front Desk
#2 2nd Choice Marketing- No position avaialable
#1 3rd Choice Breast Care Center
#2 3rd Choicc Human Resources- No position available
#3 3rd Choice Dictation - won't be avaialble til next rotation
#4 3rd Choice Medical Records- No position available.
Back ups (will be 1st or second choices for next rotation)
Senior Center
Mail Delivery
Up to this point I have job shawdoed for the Cardiovascular Center, Front Desk and Breat Care Center. The job in the Cardiovascular Center involves losts of data entry and filing and also getting the mail and delivering it to the doctors offices. I really liked that position a lot and think it would be a great fit for me. Front Desk is also something I think I would like to do. It's involves a lot of customer service and answering phones two things I am very good at. The Breast Care Center however is a job that I don't think will fit my skill set. While it has some data entry work as well as getting the mail a majority of the job consists of folding reminder letters about mammogram appointments which I think I will struggle significantly with. Yesterday I went to Vocational Rehab with Lori Corbett to job shadow dictation job. I think it went really well. There is no availbitly for that internship this time around but it'ssomething to consider for the 3rd rotation. This job involves recording meetings and then typing up meeting minutes.. something I've had somewhat of experiecne with when it comes to doing my Milford Cabinet interviews.
Thinking ahead to the 3rd rotation Dictation is a definite. I am hoping that Marketing Human Resources and Medical Records will have open positions. As far as other considerations we will have to see where the chips fall on interviews for this rotation and which position I get. Whichever job I do not get this time around will be my first choice for rotation three followed by Dictation.

Transitional period
So the first internship rotation is slowly winding to a close. Only two more full weeks left and then two days before we go on Thanksgiving vacation. The internship in IS ended up falling flat because a lot of the time they did not have a lot of work for me to do. Now I am working in the Oncology Center full time splitting time up between front office work and filling in for my friend Scott working with the patients. I am going to really miss working in the Oncology Center once the internship ends.
We have started to make our decisicions for where we want to go for our second internship. Marketing Medical Records and Human Resources did not end up having opening positions which was a bummer. It is also kind of disappointing that they do not have a very huge variety of jobs to fit my skill set though a few new departments have opened up Office Admin internships. On Monday and Wednesday I job shawdoed in the Cardiovascular Rehab Center which I really enjoyed. I think I will benefit a lot from that position if I get the job. The other two top choices I have are the Front Desk and The Breat Care Center. My back ups are Endoscopy the mail route and the Senior Center. Interviews begin the week after next. Crossing my fingers that I get one of my top two choices.
