Earning your certification is just the start. Getting your resume seen is the next step. Most employers now use applicant tracking systems (ATS) and AI tools to screen resumes before a person ever reads them, and a resume that looks great can still get scrambled or skipped if it isn't formatted the right way.

That's why I put together the RAC Resume Kit, built around the ATS formatting guidelines Jobscan publishes, for medical coders and risk adjustment professionals at every stage.

What's included: 

• Sample Resume (Word & PDF): a filled-in example of an experienced risk adjustment coder's resume. Download the Word version to use as your own starting point.
• Resume Tailoring Guide: how to match your resume to each job posting, with sources and further reading
• Getting Hired Before You're Certified: tips for building experience and getting noticed while you're still working toward your certification

Download them, make them your own, and test your resume against a real job posting before you apply. I'm cheering you on every step of the way! 💛
