Chiropractic Receptionist
This is longish and kind of all over the place- sorry, but I'm excited! There's a want ad in my paper for a chiropractic receptionist/front desk person. I'm interested in the job, but I don't have any experience working in any kind of alternative medical office. I've only worked as a temp in a Nephrology office when I was a teenager. I'm 22 now, and that was the last medical type job I had. I haven't wanted to do anything medical, but I thought the holistic medical field would be somewhat different and that I'd probably enjoy it. My last job was as a sales consultant in an art gallery, I worked there for a little over a year.( Other jobs were restaraunts, retail etc.) Business slowed down so I left. Not let go, I left voluntarily, good terms. That was at the end of March and I've not had a job since. We were waiting to save up and get me my own car, now we've almost got the down payment and I can work some kind of transportation out for a little while. OK bear with me, my questions are as follows: what can I put on my weak resume to let them know I'm serious, that I'm not lazy, and that I'd still be a good candidate, even without experience? I have good references, but I have a terrible time with my "objective". I just need ideas, of course. Do I even have a shot at it? The ad says I'd be assisting in therapies? What other therapies do they do in a chiropractor's office? Again, apologies for the lengthy question!

You would be answering phones, dealing with people as they come in, taking insurance information, pulling their records from files, scheduling appointments etc.
So you need to play up your people skills. If you have filing experience make sure they know that. Computer data entry skills or at least a knowledge of whatever program they use would be a plus.
The assisting probably won't be hard to do. They will just ask you to help now and then. It may be as simple as standing in the room while he/she works on patient of the opposite sex.
I think you should go for it!
Good luck.
