Everyone keeps asking, “Which certification do I need for remote healthcare roles?”

Click the link in my bio for the full YouTube video, where I break down how to strategically position yourself for these opportunities.

There is no universal requirement.

In health information management and health IT roles, qualifications are employer-specific.

Not industry-wide.
Not standardized.
Not one-size-fits-all.

That’s why roles like:

– Medical billing
– Medical coding
– Revenue cycle analyst
– Revenue integrity analyst
– Health IT systems analyst
– Compliance officer

…can pay well into six figures without you needing to check every box upfront.

Some employers care about experience.
Some care about transferable skills.
Some will hire you and give you time to earn certifications later.

If you’re stuck because you think you’re “not qualified,” you’re probably just positioned wrong.

Most people don’t stagnate because they lack potential. They stagnate because they move without a plan.

When Jacqueline and I first connected, she was a Clinic Service Specialist with:

• An Associate’s degree
• 10+ years of experience
• A strong HIM foundation
• And pay that didn’t reflect any of it

She wasn’t confused about healthcare.
She was unsure how to scale it intentionally.

In June 2024, after making her first strategic pivot, she told me:

“Thanks so much! I was amazed at how fast they contacted me back. I had the interview, and 1.5 hours later, they offered me the position. What’s funny is—The first time I applied for this job, I was rejected. The second time I applied, the recruiter called me right away.”

That wasn’t luck.
That was alignment & strategy.

Same candidate.
Different resume.
Different positioning.
Different outcome.

Fast forward to today: Jacqueline has now accepted a new role as an Insurance Billing Specialist III, with a 46.2% total salary increase since we met in November 2023.

Most HIM professionals see closer to ~10% total growth over the same timeframe when they stay passive.

This didn’t happen by job hopping randomly.

It happened by:

• Targeting roles with upward titles
• Making strategic pivots every 1–2 years ( Those of you who have attended my free webinars know this is a core piece to my overall strategy... especially for entry-level candidates)
• Aligning her resume to revenue-driving skills
• Building momentum instead of waiting for loyalty to pay off

This is what strategic career progression actually looks like.

Getting rejected once doesn’t mean the role isn’t for you. It often means your positioning wasn’t ready yet.

Congrats Jackie!!!

“I keep applying… and hearing nothing.”

If that’s your experience, I want you to stop guessing whether your resume is the problem — and actually test it.

Here’s how.

Apply to 10 jobs.
Not 50. Not 200. Just 10.

But they must be:

• Recently posted (last 7 days)
• Roles you are genuinely qualified for
• Jobs you’d feel confident interviewing for today

Now watch the responses.

If every single one comes back as an auto-reject — no “under review,” no recruiter movement — that’s your answer.

Not a judgment.
Not a failure.
Just information.

Your resume is not translating your experience into the language those roles are screening for.

And no, this has nothing to do with:

• The job market being “terrible”
• Recruiters ignoring you on purpose
• Not having enough experience

It’s about alignment.

Fix that before you burn yourself out applying again.

10 clean applications tell you more than 100 random ones.

I break down exactly how to fix this inside the free blog on blossom-careers.com! If you do this test...come back and let me know what happens!

🚨 ATS language and human language are NOT the same.

And this is where most resumes fall apart.

The Applicant Tracking System only cares about one thing:
Are the keywords there or not?

That’s it.
No context.
No assumptions.
No “they probably know this.”

But humans read resumes completely differently.

Hiring managers are asking:
🧠 Does this person understand WHY this work is done this way?
🧠 Do they understand the tools, the process, and the outcome?

That means:
âś” not just listing the keyword
âś” but explaining what you did
âś” the tools you used
âś” and the result or impact

When your resume speaks to both:
➡️ the ATS (keywords)
➡️ and humans (context + clarity)

You instantly stand out from people applying to the same exact jobs.

This is why keyword stuffing doesn’t work.
And it’s why “AI-sounding” resumes get skipped.

Save this if you’re updating your resume.
Send it to someone applying right now.
Comment “BOTH” if you didn’t realize your resume needs to speak two languages.

🚫 This is why one resume doesn’t work anymore.

Even if the job title is the *same*.

Here’s what most people miss 👇
*Keywords change by company — not just by role.*

You can apply to:

🧾 Medical Coding role #1
🧾 Medical Coding role #2

Same title.
Different organizations.
Completely different keywords.

So if you’re using:

➡️ one “medical coding resume”
➡️ one version you apply everywhere

You’re probably missing:

❌ role-specific keywords
❌ organization-specific language
❌ opportunities to rank higher in the ATS

And that’s exactly why one resume worked years ago — but doesn’t work now.

The fix isn’t rewriting your resume from scratch every time.

It’s:

âś” having a master resume
âś” making small keyword-based tweaks
âś” checking alignment before you apply

That’s how you stop guessing and start applying strategically.

Save this if you’re using one resume for every application.
Send it to a medical coder or healthcare professional applying right now.

Let me know in the comments if you're using ONE resume or multiple?

Paying for Premium does not mean your resume magically gets fixed.

It does not override hiring systems.

And it does not open floodgates to interviews.

That’s why I’ve never started my clients with LinkedIn Premium.

Not because Premium is bad —
but because most job seekers don’t have a platform problem.

They have a visibility, strategy, and alignment problem.

What isn’t clear — and where people get frustrated — is what LinkedIn Premium is actually designed to do.

If you look at LinkedIn Premium’s career features and do a simple Ctrl + F search for the word “resume,” you’ll notice something important:

It doesn’t mention fixing your resume.
Because that’s not what it’s built to do.

LinkedIn Premium amplifies what you’re already doing — whether it's good or bad.

So if:
• your resume is targeted
• your keywords align with the roles you want
• your profile language matches your job search

Premium can absolutely support and extend that strategy.

But if your resume isn’t getting interviews yet, Premium won’t be the fix.
You have to address the root of the problem first.

Inside Blossom, I spend nearly two hours breaking down how to use LinkedIn the right way — as part of a larger career strategy, not as the strategy itself.

LinkedIn is a tool.
Your resume and application strategy are the engine.

Fix the engine first — then amplify!

🚨 This is why the ATS is rejecting your resume — even when you ARE qualified.

The applicant tracking system isn’t rejecting you because you lack experience.

It’s rejecting you because your experience isn’t documented the right way.

Here’s the part most people don’t realize ⬇️
The ATS does *NOT* assume anything.

It does *not* think:

> “Oh, they had this job title, so they probably did this.”

If the keyword isn’t in your resume…
*The skill doesn’t exist to the system.*

And in healthcare, we already know this rule: 📝 *If it wasn’t documented, it wasn’t done.*

The ATS works the *same way*.

So even if you:

• have the experience
• did the work
• know the skill

If it’s missing from your resume →

❌ ranked lower
❌ filtered out
❌ auto-reject email

This isn’t a qualification problem.
It’s a visibility problem.

Save this if you’re applying for jobs right now.
Send it to someone getting auto-reject emails.
Comment “INSIDER” if this finally made it click.

🚨 This is why your resume still isn’t working — even after ChatGPT.

And I’ll admit it — I’ve seen this happen over and over again, and I understand why people do it.

You didn’t do anything wrong…
You just did what everyone else did.

You copied the job posting.
You pasted it into ChatGPT.
You said: “Write a resume that matches this role.”

And so did 300 other people.

Now recruiters are seeing:

❌ Identical bullet points
❌ The same phrasing
❌ The same “AI-sounding” resumes

And yes — they can tell.

💡 ChatGPT isn’t the problem.

Using it without strategy is.

If you don’t understand:

• how resumes are actually written
• how ATS reads them
• or how to prompt AI correctly

AI will work against you instead of for you.

➡️ Use AI as a partner, not a shortcut.
➡️ Or use a system that already knows how to guide the prompts the right way.

Save this.
Send it to a friend using ChatGPT for their resume.

Let me know in the comments if you're using AI to write your resume, and are you're getting interviews. đź‘€
