These are things I did that I believe helped me be marketable and helped me obtain a job. Maybe they can help someone else.

1. I became HIPAA certified (I think it was 15-20 dollars at the time).

2. I took practicode to increase my experience and remove my apprentice status.

3 I took a certification course in Anatomy and Physiology (free).

4. I took a CPT blitz course through CCO to both increase my chances of passing the CPC exam and to show additional education on my resume.
