i am in the medical admin assisting field and i am going to be going for my externship in a month...but i dont want to be working in the field though, can i just put my resume and send them to ppl and just say i want it only for an externship? i dont want to actually work there if they do hire or whatever. i mean its free hands for them so i dont see why they wouldnt just let me do an externship there , right?? what do u think?
and i only took this course cause its only 8mths and i dont like it though. too much crap and i want to go to work loving my job not waking up dreading what the day is gonna be like.....so im thinking about a diff route.

i have to do the externship to graduate, if i didnt have to i wouldnt. and damn did i get alot of ******** remarks. the most answers ive ever recieved. all i wanted to know was if it was okay to ask the employer to just be an externship and not an employee at his work so i can finish it for school to graduate.

The only question I have is if you dont like it, why would you waste time doing the externship? If it is just to complete the program, then yes, just sending the resume and advising them you want to just do the externship is fine. You should not tell them you have no interest in working in the field. If they offer you a position and you dont want it, just decline the position. Good luck with your career choices!

First of all you should check the attitude if you want any type of employment. If you don't like the career you are studying for, then drop it. Dont take a spot from someone who may be serious and deserving of it. If your resume is written anything like your post here, then that would explain many things. Use spell check, grammar check and make sure you are using the correct words...it is not an externship...it is an internship.
Take your different route...do something that will make you happy, that you will do well and that you can be serious about. All jobs / career paths have "crap" to deal with. It is not that different in any field. There are rules, policies and egos not to mention sometimes long hours, low wages and other circumstances that you should consider. No one is going to offer you the perfect job straight out of school. So before you make your next choice, consider all of your options, what you can live with and what you cannot. But don't take a position in school or the workplace from someone who wants to be there. That is selfish and nothing more.

First of all, your lack of motivation doesn't bode well for your chances of convincing any health care organization to take you on -- even as an extern. (By the way, what the hell is an "extern"? Are you sure you don't mean "intern"?)
That said, I'd suggest putting an "Objective" section in your resume. It would look something like this:
Objective: To serve an externship as a medical administrative assistant, contributing my considerable skills to an organization cost-free while gaining valuable experience.
That will clarify -- up-front -- what you're looking for. And, to answer your question, no, employers won't just let anyone waltz into their offices and do an "externship". There are liability (and, indeed, productivity) issues with having people just hanging around taking up space.

Send out the resume, do the externship and complete the course. Be upfront with the employer; and if they ask about continuing employment, tell them that you're future plans are not complete. You may be returning to school to continue your education or possibly moving into another area.

Speaking as an older person who is now 49 and had no choices in college except to support myself teaching and didn't like it. Yes, we have to work. But thinking about stress everyday, one day you will wake up and you won't be able to get out of bed and make yourself do it. So change what it is you are doing now. What do you like to do? If you like medicine why not medical librarian like I had thought of later in life. Too tired now. But that is a good one. Or something that people are in and out quickly you help quickly. Try the career books at the library and look up your abilities and interests. I doubt any of these people will let you do medical assist without something in it for them because believe me I have been there in all sorts of life things as a mom and done many things. Hope this helps.

If discovered asleep on shield he could desire to be court docket marshaled. rapid questioning the soldier stated " Amen" and regarded up. authentic tale.

Don't mention anything on your resume about not wanting to be hired on. Do the internship; depending on your skills and the staff needs you may not even be offered the oppurtunity to stay on afterwards. If you are offered a position there's no reason you can't turn it down.

Your question makes no sense. Keep in mind, we know nothing about you or your situation or what you're trying to do. A better, simpler, clearer question might give you more appropriate answers.
The most I can gather is that you don't sound happy doing what you're doing so just get out of it. You're not trapped so get a decent job and go on.
