How to Dress

So now that you got the job you are going to have to dress the right way.  But remember you can't dress to revealing.  So I am going to tell you the appropriate way to dress when you are a Medical Administrative Assistant.  If you are a woman in this field your appropriate clothing to wear is dress pants or skirts with hemlines slightly above the knee or at calf-length.  For tops wear blouses or conservative dressy tops.  Men should wear tailored slacks and dress shirts.  For foot wear you usually shouldn't wear open toed shoes.  So for women wear low heeled shoes and for men dress shoes.  Always wear something appropriate but comfortable because you might be on your feet a lot during the day.  Wear as few accessories as possible, they will get in the way of the job.  Women and men should keep nails short and clean.  Lastly women should wear neutral colors of make-up and avoid using perfumes in case some patients are allergic.
