I'm right there with you. Was laid off in early January and I'm starting to see the light. Following to get any advice I can, looking for a new job in SF.

It took me 3 months of looking to find my P.O. job. For me it was the perfect fit kind of deal where I had po experience and it was a product I am certified in. It took 3 months to find that combo. I interviewed for P.O. positions where I knew the industry instead of the product and didn’t have much luck there. I got far though final round interviews. So it’s really a waiting game unfortunately. If I could give any advise it would be narrow your search to the product you want to own vs the industry bc you can learn the industry but you really need to know the product to excel in the role.

Wouldn't you need to know the industry to know the product? I am a little confused by this advice

I've worked hard over the past decade or so building up and nurturing my professional network. It paid off when I was downsized and in search of a new opportunity several months ago. I reached out to a few key people and had a several interviews lined up almost right away. Got a couple of offers and chose the best one for me. When they say how important having a strong network is, they're not kidding.

We’re hiring POs! Message me if you’re interested 😊

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
