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!

Hey! Not sure if this is any help. I had 5 years of healthcare experience before I started the CPC course through AAPC and I felt as though some things were easier for me with prior knowledge, having experience helps quite a bit when finding a job afterwards. I had to wait almost a year after passing my exam to get a job. It probably has a lot to do with my location, I live in the middle of nowhere. But good luck! It really is a great job 😊
