I have not been able to get a job yet for medical assistant. Can I still get a job in this if I have graduated a year ago.

Yes but its extremely difficult to do nowadays. Because there are so many trade schools pumping out medical assistants by the truckload. My advice would be to return to school for something else but if you really want find work as a medical assistant your best bet is to volunteer at an office. Most of the jobs want you to have 1 to 2 years work experience. Also adding some certifications on to your certificate will help. Become certified or registered, get a phlebotomy cert., also get medical office assistant certification.

Of course, you can still get a job as a cma regardless if it was a year ago. As long as your certifications are still valid, everything is fine! If not, you need to take a continuing education class. These CEU's are essential if you wish to keep and maintain your certification as a medical assistant. Goodluck on finding a job!
