Dear Hiring Professional,

Enclosed is a resume detailing my qualifications for Medical Billing and Coding, Medical Records, Insurance verification / or any entry level position available.

This work has afforded me numerous opportunities to expand my knowledge but as of recently, I have decided to pursue a change of career and have since obtained billing and coding education from Everest College.

My work experience is further enhanced by my extensive knowledge of Microsoft Office tools and fluency in 3 languages: Arabic, French and English.

I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss my qualifications. To schedule an interview, I may be reached at 480-***-****.
