> People concerned with collecting a paycheck have excellent work ethics, and the industry would benefit from more of them in it. Typically, no they do not. They may have excellent "butt in seat" metrics, but that means very little for quality of work. > If you can fake it for interviews and in order to advance your career, you’ll definitely go further, but never feel bad about either faking it or not being able to. If by faking it you mean a little embellishment or studying up before an interview then that's fine. But I have a good knack for catching phonies. And once I find you've been dishonest about your experience or knowledge I throw that resume out and interview is over. Be prepared, honest, and enthusiastic. Basically with any profession you need to be motivated to excel. I wouldn't hire a medical assistant who just wanted a paycheck. I'd want someone who wants to help people, learn and grow.
