Underpaid and overworked
I’ve been at my job for 11 years. Still only make 60k. I do everything at the clinic except the doctor part. I pick up everyone’s slack. I do the scheduling. Medical billing. Insurance verification. Payroll. Staff management. Collections. Phones. Setting up new equipment. I’m over it. I’ve applied to a ton of jobs and get minimal response. Have redone my resume and written cover letters. Not sure what to do next. I want out of healthcare. Any advice?

What's your degree in?

funny

Yeah, it worked out for you so I wouldn't advise you start on a new career path. If you had 11 years of experience and still making less than a starting salary in many fields, I'd probably advise you to look into how to use your degree to restart your career in a field with upward mobility options. Congrats on your success, you made it. Not everyone is as lucky as you. And OP can't get an MBA like you if they don't have a degree at all. Way to rub it in.

You likely have a lot of accomplishments in your 11 years. Are THEY in your resume, or is it just a list of your tasks? How are you making yourself stand out from all the other applicants who have the same experience?

For example, with medical billing -- did you reduce the time it took for the insurance companies and patients to pay their bills?

Life / Career Advice: I applied to medical school since my MCAT score was set to expire, ended up getting into 1 program.

Any thoughts on what I should do?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
