Good morning, hope everyone's weekend is going well. I have a small situation. I recently applied for a medical office for an Esthetician position. On the post it said will be trained on front and back office. Which I thought was normal just in case someone was to call put up front or if a client wanted to rebook. Also on the advertisement it stated to assist the doctor with procedures, and Saturdays are required (Didnt have the Saturday hours listed online). I went to my sit down interview on Wednesday and they informed me of the procedures they do which consist of Hydrafacial, Cool Sculpting, Ultherapy, Laser hair, Triniti series, Botox, Fillers, Artifill and so on. So I thought great I get to finally work in the medical side. I done my research before going to the iview by researching the doctor, reviews, went through Skin medica products (wasn't familiar before hand) , even looking up the hours. Here is where I am. In question. I was asked last Wednesday to do a work iview this past Saturday. As normal I thought I would perform a facial on the staff ot client of their choice. I got there at 9am yesterday, and was advised the doctor want be in until 11am. Once she showed up she advised for them to train me on the front desk and show me the different areas because each service have their own room. I was told I would do a 3 o clock microdermabrasion/ Hydrafacial. I said okay great thinking I would just come back, but she stated I would stay and learn things and learn the services in and out. The client ended up being a no call no show, so she told me to come back Monday at 930 am for me to do a facial on a staff member and meet the Esthetician. My biggest question is it normal for a working interview to last from 9am to 5pm , and then be asked to come back for the practical when it would've been done the same day as normal interviews or take no more then an hour. I have done practical interviews before and it was immediately after the sit down interview. Also after research I gather the position would pay between 8 to 12 an hour (havent confirmed with the doctor). Isnt this considered low for a medical position? Also how to approach the situation in a professional manner. I assisted with everything yesterday that was answer the phones, watch the mspa booking system, assisted with botox (by applying gauze and pressure to inserted area) , watch them do laundry, consults, and services. Which would all be in the job description if hired. Ive been in a rut because Ive always wanted to work on the medical side, but something in me saying this isnt quite right. Also I want to ask is it normal for medical offices to be open until 7pm on Saturday which that and the pay may be a deal breaker for me. The experience would look good on my resume in future, but questioning myself is it worth it. I have 3 yrs of experience, but not in a medical setting. Honestly dont know what to do or if this situation is normal

Medi spas seem to expect you to work for free sometimes as part of the job. Off the clock. It really isn't worth it especially since both drs and nurses won't treat you with respect. Your just the help.
