I was on an MTM rotation late last year. Was a pretty good rotation, and trying to get a job there doing MTM. They pay the paid interns based on how many cases they complete, somewhere like $20/case. On my rotations I was usually able to complete about a case every 20 minutes. (6-10 minutes on the phone with the patient, and filling out the stuff on the computer took another 10 minutes.)
My immediate supervisor said I was kicking ass with how I was knocking out cases very fast. They expect an intern on rotations to be able to complete about 5 cases a day, I was usually getting around 8-10 cases a day. However, the fact that I didn't know who some people were at the office might have hurt my job chances.
The set up over there was that each person is given a cubicle with a laptop and phone that you do your work on. My cubicle was next to some guy who was in an office. After completing 5 cases by 12, I'd usually derp around on the internet going on SDN or 9GAG or reading news articles for most of the rest of the day and occasionally do a case every hour or so.
The guy who was in the office with a window viewing out into the cubicles was my supervisors boss, and the COO of the company. He probably saw that I wasn't working at some times. So yeah, that could have screwed me over.
The hiring manager told me to go and talk to him the other day, and he mentioned that on my rotations, I showed flashes of really good potential for what they're looking for in interns/pharmacists, but that I was also very streaky and not on my "A" game at all times. I guess his mentality was that, if I'm there for 8 hours a day, and I finish 5-6 cases within the first 3 hours, why do I only end up with 9-10 cases the entire day. (If I was going hardcore at the cases all day, I'd probably end up with somewhere around 15-18 cases a day.) I figured that he probably saw me messing around the rest of the day once I met my quota.
I'm sure that if I'm there working for $$$, I'd be more motivated to bang out cases at my potential. (If I do 8 hours a day, and complete 20 cases a day, that's $400 in one day. Full-time, that's $2000/week.)
So question for you guys, has not knowing who someone was at the site ever bitten you in the ass?
