Make sure you have the necessary skills and experience. Before you begin your job search to become a medical receptionist, make sure you've got the skills to land any opportunities you find.

Knowing how to work with multi-line phones, customer service experience and previous employment in medical offices are skills which could greatly aid you in getting the job. List all this information on the resume you intend to send to employers.

Create some social networking accounts. Popular social networking sites can be great sources of new job leads and opportunities. Friends and acquaintances on such sites may have ties to the medical field, which you can use in order to find out about new job openings. Make it known that you're on the hunt and actively work toward forging new contacts who work in doctors' offices and medical facilities close to where you live.

Call local hospitals, clinics and doctor's offices. It can be a tedious process to cold call medical facilities in search of jobs, but sometimes the hard work can pay off. Remain polite and professional when inquiring about jobs, and offer to send your resume for offices to keep on file.
