Hello, I am looking for a coding position in the Portland Oregon Metropolitan area which includes, Vancouver Washington. I am very aware that the first time is the worst time when applying for coding jobs, so I am staying patient, and just applying for everything that my resume and skills allow. I’m hoping someone from this area can help, but everyone’s feedback from all over will help very much. I am active in my Portland AAPC group, and they have helped a lot. I also was given a piece of advice from my coding instructor in college, and that is that the reality of obtaining the ultimate work at home coding job will require working in places that are "not ideal" for my life situation at first, but the experience is what gets the interviews for the ones that can become remote down the road. I’ve only been applying for work since the start of the year (since my certification was right before Christmas), and will retain my initiative to keep looking. Also, I have a circumstance that might help me in other ways, and that is I’m disabled and on Social Security Disability. I went through their Ticket to work program and in conjunction with my state Vocational Rehabilitation, was able to go back back to college to study Medical Coding, so I’m also asking if anyone knows of any agency(ies) that helps disabled people. I also want to return to work, and not be on disability due to the fixed income isn’t enough. I’m also asking if someone knows of good websites. I prefer it’s a website that has the https in the beginning. Thank you very much.
