toI was working with a Billing and Coding Professional the other day through our HealthCare Pro Academy. She had experience in the industry but felt landlocked in her job. So, this is what we put in place to help her get the job (and pay) that she wanted and deserved. We focused on three areas: Social Media Profile: Every prospective employer is going to search you out on social media. Your profile speaks volumes to them about what you might be like as a potential employee. We looked at each profile she had and even discovered a few that she forgot about. We shaped those profiles by removing any potentially objectionable content and redesigned her profile page. If you don’t want to do this, then simply put your profiles on private. Resume Design: I’ve interviewed a thousand people in the last 20 years. I also know that I’ve skipped over potential employees because their resumes were either too sparse or poorly designed. After only a few changes, her resume expanded and targeted the skills that she possessed to get the job she wanted. It went from one page to three, and each was worth reading. Interview Skills: The single most important element of getting a new job is the face to face interview. Yet, so few people prepare for it. She and I talked through specific questions that might be asked, but even more importantly, we talked about questions that she could ask her potential employer. Whether you ever enter a mentoring program or whether your school offered them, addressing the issues of social media profiles, resume design, and interviewing skills is essential to getting the job you want. Get helpful advice from someone, and practice interviewing with someone who will give you honest feedback. Then, go out and get the money you are worth. Let us know if there is any way we can help.
