No one will hire me

I graduated last year oct 2007 from Chubb Institute and i do not have a job yet. The reason is , at lease i think so anyway ; is that every interview i go on the want at lease 1 to 2 years experience.

You should try basing your job search for now on a job ad that says "will train".. You could get experience through these jobs.

I graduated last year and received an Assoiciates in Applied Science Degree in Medical Billing and Coding and have yet to find a job!!!! i sent out millions of resume and havent no one call me back. Now i have a student loan i have to pay back and it bogus cause the school i went to not even trying to help. the reason its bogus big time cause i have a job that i didnt go to school for and now i have a loan i have to pay back.

im going to american carrer college for medical billing and they offer a lifetime assistance in finding a job but im hearing alot of people from all over not including school say that they can not find a job due to experince. i hope that doesnt hurt me cause the loan for this program was realy expensive.

After reading your comments, number 1)
you must spell correctly on a resume, and learn to speak correctly as well.
If you have trouble writing clearly and spelling correctly, have a professional person from your college read your cover letters and your resume. Your writing makes you sound ignorant and uneducated.
THAT IS BAD for getting a job.

when looking to get into the medical billing field with little to no experience it is best to try for a PFS (Patient Financial Services) position or Collections (anyone can do collections) you have to be trained their way so it's very easy to get into...a hospital is a good place to start. I knew someone who was just getting out of school and had no experience she started in the PFS and worked her way to collections which consisted of secondary billing then went to medical billing and is now a medical coder. Sometimes it takes a few steps but you can get there. Also some places have the entry level positions.
but just remember sometimes it only takes that foot in the door to open the rest of the doors to the top of the ladder. and usually within the medical billing or coding
field new jobs always open up within a few months period so 3 months PFS or Collections can mean a Billing position and within 6 months possibly a coding position or a step in the right direction for a better chance to reach what your goals are and with the experience you needed.

Hi All!

I have an interview for Medical Billing position next week and I'd like to know what kind of questions do they ask for this position? I have been a medical coder for the last 10 years but I would like to get some experience as a biller.
Please help! Thank you very much.

I graduate in Dec. with aa AA in HIT specializing in Medical Coding and I am starting to think that all of these so called career colleges are a joke. Don't get me wrong I have worked hard to get to the end of this program and I have absolutely no job prospects at all.How do you get the experience if you can't get your foot in the door anywhere.

I even interviewed for a office manager position at home health agency with pay at 9.00 and hour with no benifits and was told they chose someone with no experience. So why get into all this debt trying to achieve what you think will be something good for your future and get a degree you can't do anything with!!!!

In today's economy, it's a gamble, but starting out at $9 an hour isn't the worst you could do and it will get your foot in the door and a chance to get some experience. Later on if you can't get anymore money from them you will have the experience to move on to another practice.

You are absolutely correct. I was more than willing to accept the opportunity, but they chose to go with someone with more experience.

Read the article:
"Don't pay for medical billing school - Get paid while you learn"
www.splurgd.com/dont-pay-for-medical-billing-school-get-paid-while-you-learn/

The author claims to have worked in the medical billing industry and says that people get hired on experience b/c they're more familiar with the procedures.

Wow, so no worries.. looks like that company will just hire everyone who wants to be a medical biller!

well let me tell you i just graduated and my school has a life time too for finding me a job and until now nothing and i paid 12,000 for this program it sucks cause i wanna start my career already. well good luck

$12,000 is a bit much. They really dont offer to much as far as coding is concerned. If they don't have the AHIMA review or the AAPC review then you might want to find school that offers it. Our school offers the AHIMA review which enables you to sit for the CCS certification. A CCS dramatically increases your chances of finding a job and your starting salary is much higher.

We get instuctors from other schools that take our review course.
