I recently received my Certificate as a Certified Coding Specialist and I am having a heck of a time finding employment. Most companies I have applied for want you to have experience. Im definitely not giving up I know someone will give me a chance! Any suggestions anyone please?!

I'm a soon to be graduate from UConn and looking at a 3.2 gpa by the time of graduation in marketing. So far I have had 1 job experience working at a jewelry store and 1 internship experience working for a web development company. I thought I was extremely employable due to being bilingual and all, but currently I'm having a really hard time landing a job in marketing so I'm looking into taking coding classes at my local community college. Is this a viable strategy? Or should I be sending my application out in mass? (I've only applied to about a dozen jobs so far but no one got back to me) Or alternatively, should I hunker down on a low paying job and work from the bottom?

Hi my name is Donna. I'm looking to get into the field of coding. I would like to add that I"m taking a course through AAPC to take the A off the CPC certification after I take the board exam. Is that ok to add in the comments?
