I found a job 2 months after getting my credential - Paulette M

Posted: Feb 27th, 2023 - 8:50 pm In Reply to: Coding class - Maryann

I was a transcriptionist from 2005 to 2019. I took Linda Andrews' coding program and obtained my CCS credential in April 2019. I got my first coding job 2 months later. You can land a job if you are diligent about searching. While I do miss transcription, I am much happier with better pay and job stability.
