Lots of medical offices are looking for assistants, technicians, and front desk staff for positions that can be trained on the job (ie, not requiring a degree or certification in the field).

I'm in the optometry field and as a whole across the country, we're hurting for technician staff! Sales experience is always a plus for hiring managers in any people-facing industry, as you already have people skills (which can't necessarily be trained) whereas skills related directly to doing the job can! Just some food for thought.

I worked administration in a cardiology office and I can confirm, it’s an awesome job. Decent pay and benefits, good people to work with, and aside from the once in a blue moon difficult patient, everyone is pleasant.

Where is the best place to find these jobs? My adult daughter is looking for something like this to get out of retail.

I believe a lot of offices use Indeed; google jobs will aggregate from multiple sites when you search for a specific job title as well.

Just here to encourage her to apply to any she can find. I went from retail to medical admin and it was the most relieving change, I was so much less stressed and actually enjoyed going to work.
