At Bryan University, we provide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bryanu.edu\/resources\/career-services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Career Services <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that will help you find a job after graduation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the many tools available to you, they could include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Job openings for students and graduates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Career development workshops\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resume updating\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Job referrals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guidance for writing effective resumes and cover letters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning interviewing skills<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resume<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing an effective resume is more than just noting your studies and internships. Many human resources professionals use technology to pull resumes that use keywords that align with job descriptions. If your resume is not optimized using keywords, terms, and phrases, you run the risk of not being chosen for interviews due to automated vetting processes that many employers use. We recommend working with a resume professional who can help you create a robust resume that many HR departments will pick.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industry-Specific Job Aggregator<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven&#8217;t used them already, sites like Monster, Indeed, and LinkedInJobs are job aggregators, meaning they pull open positions from across the nation based upon key search criteria. These are great tools because they will update continuously, and you can set them to alert you of new positions as they become available.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industry Groups &amp; Networking\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before graduating, you may be introduced to medical billing and coding professional networking groups. You can find these inside social platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn, or even through independent websites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These groups are great for the following:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a network of professionals for advice and guidance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing job openings\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introductions to employers and connections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are unsure where to start, ask our career services staff for assistance!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical Billing and Coding at Bryan University<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bryan University&#8217;s medical billing and coding program prepares you for a vibrant career, giving you the practical knowledge you need for success.
