Has anyone applied for a job at Nicka & Associates or Advanced Professionals? I applied for a job a few weeks ago that I had gotten off of the AAPC website in the job forum at Advanced Professionals for temporary ED coders. After about a week and a half I never heard anything from this company so I sent a follow up email. I never heard anything. Nicka and Associates was a different story. Sent my resume, Got an answer, filled out the application, They sent me a test, took the test(by the way the test was 2009 charts that were written and very, very hard to read. Sent the test back, got a response saying they saw the test and would I like an interview which led me to believe the test was good. All of this took 2 months! Then I recieve and email saying they hired someone else? Said their coding skills were better? I have been an ED coder for six years and have never had a problem. I was led on by this company for some unknown reason. I responded with an email asking if they could tell me what the problem was? Never heard another word. Very unprofessional in my eyes. This was the short version of the story. I can't believe it is so hard to find a coding job. I have been a remote ED coder for six years and I cannot find a job? What made me laugh was that the job from Advanced Professionals was exactly what I do. I guess my point is, These companies should start treating people with a little more respect. Fine, if they hire someone else but, At least send some sort of a response. Don't just leave people hanging! Have a little respect for the people that want to work. I have just about decided to give up coding. I love it but, if you want to learn new things you better have a lot of money. And its hard to have money when nobody will give you a job or a chance! Just wanted to mention Nicka and Associates and Advanced Professionals. In my book these are two companies that I wouldn't want to work for anyway. Because, I respect people!
