New Coder

I am in the process of going for my CPC exam, and I already work at a hospital and had a interview for a coding position. However they told me I do not have enough experience, I was wondering on how do I get the experience I need? I know that most jobs require a few years of experience. Does anyone know of any remote jobs that will take on a new coder or if there are any companies that pay by chart? Even if someone has any suggestions on what to do because I am at a loss on what to do.

Thanks,
Shannon
