Having achieved many goals in my career in office management with various
types of industries, I am interested in expanding my professional horizons
by seeking new challenges in the area of Healthcare - Insurance Billing
and Medical Coding. In November 2008, I graduated with a 4.0 grade score
and with perfect attendance. I also completed 40 hours of internship at a
busy Pediatricians office using Practice Partner Software. I am interested
in a position with your company and have enclosed my resume for your review
and consideration.
As a team member of your organization, I bring the following experience and
qualities:
. Extensive background in accounting
. Excellent customer service skills
. Reliability, good organizational skills and the ability to look at
challenges as opportunities
. Motivated and energetic person with a consistent dedication to my
work.
. Also possess good sales and marketing skills
I would greatly enjoy having the opportunity to put together my previous
work experience and ethics with my current achieved medical knowledge. If
your business is in need of a dedicated, hardworking and enthusiastic
person, I would like to talk with you regarding the success that we might
achieve together.
Thank you for your consideration,
Cheryl L. Barnes
