apply for everything, everything you can find. It took me a long time to catch a break as far as hospital coding goes, without inpatient experience it was hard to get anyone to look at my resume long enough. Eventually my searches paid off, I found and was chosen for a position just recently, and now I am much happier with my benefits and paycheck than with a physician group

Oh, cover letter is key, and every hospital I could find to work for had an online application site. Most of them offered a "search update" option that I could have alerts emailed to me when a position I was interested in became available.

wow, that's great.. I've been looking for a while now. I have a good paying job now but will like to put my CCS to work... I should just apply even tho they require experience?
