    My background was in medical assisting. The transition into mobile collections was straightforward — the collections themselves follow the same professional standards I was already trained on.

    I was already doing phlebotomy work. Adding mobile assignments through this network let me take on additional work in my area without taking on a second full-time role.

    I applied before I had my DOT certification. They pointed me toward a training program and I completed it within a few weeks. I've been taking assignments ever since.
