Prior to calling the candidate for an initial interview, it would be wise to take a close look at his or her application. Since front office medical assistants must possess strong writing skills, review the résumé and application for any grammar and/or spelling errors. By conducting a prescreening interview with the applicant on the phone, the manager has an opportunity to evaluate the candidate's telephone voice, attitude, and communication skills. Some employers request a background check, credit check, and drug test prior to offering employment.
