I have read in one of the coding trade magazines that it is best to get at least one year experience coding before taking a CPC exam. I have taken it once and unfortunately didn't pass. My externship was something left to be desired. I am a true believer, if you don't use it you'll lose it. Most employers want someone with 2-4 years experience but will hire someone who is related to someone that knows someone with NO experience or education. How do you gain experience outside of an externship? Any advice or words of wisdom/encouragement?
