How do you land that first job? - me

Posted: May 25, 2010

I heard that coding is a career where it is hard to land that first job because experience is wanted. Is that true? I'd appreciate any input.

Well I would say........ - me

that in this economy ALL good jobs are hard to find, however, if one prepares themself, anything is possible.

You land it the same way everyone else does . . - Redpen

Of course it's true. If it weren't true, it wouldn't pay what it does.

You land that first job the same way everyone else landed theirs . . . by becoming well-prepared and providing evidence that you can do the job.

I'd be interested in hearing if you know of any jobs where experience is NOT desirable.

Those of us who have many years experience know that very, very few doctors can be trusted to actually proof and correctly edit their reports. Am I wrong in thinking that this will lead to a lot more malpractice suits which will cause malpractice insurance to dramatically rise? We know that they want to replace us completely, but will the doctors learn to dictate the first name and address, email or fax of all the docs they wish to cc? Of course not. This necessitates off ...

landed a job that required experience that you did not have? I am getting so very frustrated. I have a job now that covers maybe a week and a half of groceries every month. I am pretty new to this field, but due to a ridiculously long college program, I have studied for well over a year and I know my stuff. I test very well and I know what I am doing. All I want at this point is a job with work available, but all of the decent deals seem to require experience. I just need some way around this. I ...

I am having one of THOSE days where there are tons of errors! The numbering on meds and diagnoses are wrong about 90% of the time! They tell us our PERCENT OF ACCURACY. What is the ACCURACY of VR????? I'll bet doctors would be horrified if they saw the stuff that we need to fix, except they are too busy to give a crap about us. Days like this I just feel like I am walking through a field packed with land mines, knowing I have a good chance of stepping on one! Does anyone else get sc ...

I am only able to find a privately owned local phone company in this small town to offer Internet, through the phone, requires a landline (which I really did not need). Pricing: $100. For 750 min long distance, call waiting, caller ID, DSL - 3MB. VERY expensive just for internet and phone line!Insane...ALL calls ANYWHERE except within just two small communities within 5 miles of our new house are long distance! So, we will be using our cell phones for all calls. There are no ot ...
