To Whom It May Concern:
If you are looking for a knowledgeable, professional, friendly, self-motivated, confident, and reliable individual, I feel that I am a suitable candidate for this post. A friendly nature and good communication along with good attitude and hard work are important things in smooth working offices. I have worked for 20+ years as a Medical Assistant and recently became a Certified Medical Coder.
In previous jobs I have been hired to work as a medical assistant, but I was always drawn toward the coding and billing aspects of the medical field and would incorporate my coding knowledge into the position.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Please contact me; my phone number is (801)850-1628 or email [email protected].
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Cori Mower
