I am looking for employment in the coding field and would like remote work as I am already working from home. However, most remote positions ask for 3 - 5 years experience. There has got to be some employers that will higher coders to get that experience.

I am anxiously searching for an entry level position as a Certified Medical Coder in order to gain much needed experieince but I have not had any luck so far! I recently earned my certification in January 2015 and I had no idea until now how difficult it is to get hired without any experience. Any suggestions?

Recently have found myself in uncharted waters, after 15 years of reliable work my employer decided they didn't need me any longer, things have changed so much and i've kept updated with work experience but out looking for work I have a feeling that when people contact them, they aren't giving me the recommendation I should have. Any suggestions would be valuable this is the first time in 30 years this has ever happened! Feeling lost.

I am qualified and ready to work for your company as a medical coder or medical biller either in pre-registration or registration or wherever I am needed.

I am reliable, honest report to work everyday and love interacting with people. I am not interested in selling insurance or other products. I would like a job in the retail world in my area.
