    I have been watching your videos for about 4-5 months to help me study for my CPC exam. They have been soooo helpful. I have my first interview today as a coder (wish me luck). I didn't pass my first 2 attempts at my exam, but I have one more this Saturday and I KNOW I WILL pass it this time. 🙂 I appreciate all the work you have put into these videos and being relatable. Thank you!

    [PAY QUE$TION]
    Educational and funny video 😂 I did want to ask, how do you appropriately ask regarding the compensation factor of it since the 2nd character didn’t bring this up?
    I submitted my resume to a hospital and they asked in the online application what my expectedly salary were and after researching, I input the amount I saw would be for certified coders.
    With us working hard to pass and certify, would it be seen as an assertive move to ask for what certified coders should earn?
    I understand they may offer less (and you could ask for a review later?) but would it be silly to accept something less hourly/yearly … if that’s the case, wouldn’t you be in the same situation of just finding a job (non coder related) outside paying the same lowered offer?
    I’m always nervous when pay negotiations come up… who brings it up first etc 😅 😮‍💨 ???
    Thank you 🙏🏼

    • @ContempoCoding
      @ContempoCoding  Рік тому +1

      I understand the desire to be prepared, but it's crucial to note that interview assessments can vary widely based on the specialty and organizational needs. They might cover a range of topics from anatomy and medical terminology to specific coding scenarios. The best approach is to have a strong foundational understanding of coding concepts. Remember, each organization might have its unique focus, so it's hard to pinpoint exact questions or categories. Keep reviewing and best of luck in your interviews!

    I wish I would have found your videos before I had my first coding job. It only lasted 5 weeks before Covid and my training was abysmal! I feel better prepared now to land an optimal position with coding. Super informative and helpful. I watch one or two of your videos daily.
