my story - wondering

Posted: Oct 31st, 2015 - 1:48 pm In Reply to: Agree with other suggestions, but consider this. - SM

The places where I have applied have told me that I am basically a "new" coder, that my 25-year-old experience is irrelevant; they want recent experience. Obtained my CCS fradulently? AHIMA was fine with letting me test with the "remote" documented experience.

Contrary to your comments, I am not an unethical person.
