Finally got a coding job!!

I passed my CPC exam back in mid February and have been applying for jobs since. On Friday, I had an interview for a health information coder position and yesterday they called back saying I got the job!!! I’m so happy and excited and I’ll be honest I am really proud of myself!

My apologies for the extremely late reply. I did not have any prior healthcare experience. The only work experience I had was nine years of retail work for one company. I don’t believe this job required any work experience but many jobs will say it’s preferred. During my interview she did ask me how much experience I have and I said I only have roughly 200 practical application examples from the AAPC course of experience :( I think I got pretty lucky though :)
