you cant always get what you want
well, i was told that shc was trying to make a decision by today.....and i didn't get a call...
i guess i'm not really surprised. they really put me between a rock and a hard place at the second interview. they had the billing supervisor sit in on the interview because they had a billing position open...even though i hadn't applied for it and said at my first interview that, although i have an interest in billing, i wanted to gain new experience and do something different from my last position. the billing person really liked me, and i have a feeling that if i wanted the position i would've gotten it. but after thinking about it, i ended up telling her that i was more interested in the position i originally applied for. the pay and the title would be the same, but the work load would be 10 times more. and it sounded like i'd be doing exactly what i did previously at the clinic...which i didn't want.
i was worried that this action would cost me my chances at the job i really wanted. and it seems, unfortunately, i was correct.
i'm not too worried, though. i applied for two other jobs today (one at another clinic, and one in the hospial medical records department), and i'll scour the sunday paper for viable options.

Sorry, Suz. However, I would still follow up with the shc folks at the next opportunity and get it direct from them what your status is. Also consider that lateral moves within the university medical system may be easier than coming in from the outside--so the billing position could still be viewed as an option if you could get some idea from hr as to how feasible such moves are.
hang in there, goose. maybe look at silly part time jobs till you land what you're looking for?
