Hello! I just finished school and passed my final exam. My CPC is scheduled for October. I am trying to find a job now. I really do not have a choice because we have some pretty important bills that have to be paid which is why I went back to school. I have been job searcing since the end of March and I have not had any luck. I have been looking for anything, although I really want to be in coding or billing. I have tried front desk, receptionist, medical records, authorizations and I have even applied to some coding positions in hopes of getting a start with the stipulation of me taking my CPC which is planned and it is on my resume :D. No luck unfortunately. I have no medical experiece but I do have office, management and data entry as well as collections and computer knowledge. I am really not sure what I can do at this point. I want to stay up on everything and not lose any of the knowledge that I have leaned but I have to get a job. I am even willing to go part-time or full-time. I am just not sure what to do and I am getting discouraged. I am beginning to think I have to have some connections in order to be able to get into anywhere. I just do not want to go do something entirely different and then not pass my CPC. I have a goal and I want to work towards it. If anyone could help me or offer me any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance!
Stephanie
