I'm majoring in Health Science/Pre-Pa, so working in any type of medical setting is required so that I have experience for when I move onto grad school. The only problem is that I keep trying to find positions that I am qualified for (in hospitals, nursing homes, doctor offices), and all the positions I look at require some previous work experience. They're the simplest jobs too such as- medical record clerk, receptionist, etc! It's frustrating. How am I ever going to gain experience when I need experience to be qualified for the position. It's so backwards. And it's not just like that for any medical position. It's like this for a lot of jobs that I tried applying to when I was younger. I'll be almost 19 in a month. I have a high school diploma, I am certainly passionate about helping people, I'm majoring in Pre-Pa for crying out loud! How am I ever going to get my hours in for grad school?

I took medical terminology, medical insurance billing, and electronic reocriding and filing in a vocational school. I did not take coding class. I was told I can start work as a medical records clerk in a doctor's office, but might need to volunteer to get my foot in the door. What about billing? Do I need to take coding to work as a records clerk, or just as a biller? Do I need to be certified to work as a records clerk or as a biller? Is volunteering the only way to get a job in medical records?

Careers such as medical records clerk, medical billing/coding, registered health information technician/administrator..they suppose to pay really good and be in high demand but from what I have researched the pay ranges from 10-16 per hour. Is this what people are considering "good money" or do these types of jobs pay more?

I have 3 years experience in general office, office assistant, medical records, file clerk, but I am having issues with social phobia. I have been called for several positions, but it requires heavy phones, and customer service, or front desk, so I turn them down. I would like to find a job where I wont really deal to much with customers, or phones because I stutter and get too nervous. I dont however want to get any work at home jobs. What positions should I apply for?? and should I be straight out with an employment agency about my problem with dealing with people?? Help!
