Hi Chris,

Congrats on your certification. Have you tried posting on career job-sites such as monster.com, indeed.com, or linkedin.com. This method allows more companies to see your resume. I received quite a number of calls/emails after posting on these sites, and that was how I got hired – twice. It is possible that you may get called for a billing job, but it allows you to be utilize what you learned and earned as well as get your foot in the door to remove your apprenticeship status. Experience opens the doorway for more opportunities and promotions. Physician offices are also a great way to start and sometimes offer great salary packages. All the best.
