After searching for over a year, every single day, I have found that no-one will cut a break to the new wave of medical coders & billers. I'm tired of hearing that it is the wave of the future. I'm sorry, but I don't see it happening.
Whatever you do, don't take it personally. There are still times where it's not what you know, but who you know

There are lots of creative and not so creative ways to find employment. If you have to earn a certain dollar amt, or work a certain schedule or you need every third tuesday of the month off then that might be a problem

Be willing to adapt to the employer's schedule.
1. i know a few people who were place by staffing agency's.
2. i know of someone who was given a list of local billing companies. She made calls, had an interview was told that there were no openings, and the next thing you know, she got a call and was offered a job!
3. i know someone who was given a job opportunity by a chapter member. so find a way to stay connected to your local chapter. Or, maybe start a local chapter if there's nothing close to you.
I feel confident that as long as your attitude is positive, you will have a very positive future!
Stay the course, full speed ahead!
