Please review our answers to frequently asked questions below.
Once you apply for a position, you will receive an automated e-mail verifying that we have received your application. We do not contact anyone prior to the “deadline to apply” date since we are still collecting applications. We often receive many strong applications for an opening. When this happens the very strongest applicants receive interviews. Someone from Human Resources will be in contact with you for an interview if you are one of the strongest applicants.
The qualifications required vary with each position. A good starting point is to read the job description (summary and details- including the physical requirements of the job) that is posted with each job opening. If you meet all of the required qualifications listed for the position AND are one of the strongest applicants in terms of experience, skills, education, etc., we will contact you to set up an interview. If you are not chosen for an interview, you will receive an e-mail from us.
Having the skills, qualifications and experience are vital. Submitting a complete, accurate and current application is also essential. Since the system saves prior applications it may be necessary to update prior information on your application (i.e.; Personal information, previous work history, references, resumes, part-time/full-time interests.)
You must submit an application for each position you are interested in. If you are interested in more than one position, you must submit your application multiple times. Fortunately, our system automatically stores the last application you submitted to us, so you will only have to review your stored information page by page and tailor your application to the specific job as needed.”
We accept applications for each position until the posting close date. You must have submitted your application on-line before that date. The system automatically closes the position on the posting close date and applications will no longer be accepted once it is closed.
Check our website periodically for future open positions. There are certain position types that we have a lot of (i.e.; nurses, receptionists, etc.) and so we have these types of openings on a pretty regular basis.
New positions are posted as often as we have new openings. This could be once a week or a few times per day. We urge you to visit our website frequently so you do not miss a great opportunity to join our team!

That is correct; Medical Associates no longer accepts paper applications or resumes. If you would like to include a resume and/or cover letter with your application, you will have the option to copy and paste or upload your documents at the time of application.
Although almost all Medical Associates employees use a computer in one way or another, some jobs require proficient keyboarding skills. For these positions, we ask that you take a typing test prior to your scheduled interview to demonstrate that you possess these skills.
