123 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have a unique situation where I want/need to find a MA job for just 5-6 months after I graduate college before I move back home and can find something more permanent. Has anyone ever worked at a clinic for just 5-6 months before leaving? Are clinics willingly to hire a student for just that long? Any thoughts on this situation is much appreciated! I've heard of some people worked a couple months like this but they agreed to get paid less. (which I am willingly to do since something is better than nothing) thanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enpears Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I mean, you could always apply and be vague about an end date if you think they're turning you down for your end date. 5-6 months is a decently long period of time, not like 8 weeks of a summer or something. Then, when you've got to move, put in your 2 weeks or 1 month notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushithefish Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Most employers want longer than 5-6 months. Most wouldn't be willing to train you for a few weeks just so you would leave that soon. However if they're desperate and/or have high staff turnover, then they may be OK with 5-6 months. Agreeing to a pay cut can help as well. I work in a large office that has high staff turnover since most of the MAs are young and end up leaving within 2 years. You could also just not tell them that you only want to work 5-6 months.

123 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 You could also just not tell them that you only want to work 5-6 months. They'll probably ask though. The best I can do without straight up lying is just being vague about it like enpears said and just say I'm not exactly sure. Plus, if I find a new job they might contact my old one for references. idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhizopus Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Look into CNA work at nursing homes. There's always a demand and they are usually grateful for your time. Plus, there is minimal training, so it's not a huge investment on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
