Hello there! I have interviewed with both companies and was not hired by Kforce for not having previous work-from-home experience. But they seemed like a great company. I was hired by McKesson and will start remote coding for them 7/2/12. They have an awesome benefits package and I have only heard good things, so I am excited to start. It's a slow hiring process-I had 3 phone interviews and an online coding test just to get to this stage, so don't get discouraged. Good luck!!
If you don't mind me asking what were you hired on for ? I have applied at several companies and have had several interviews and either turned down the jobs because it was full time or wasn't offered the position. I have never worked from home either and was hoping to start part time before i gave up my current job just in case i didn't like it. I know its not for everyone staying inside all day long with no one to communicate with. I also base the jobs on pay, i currently make pretty well at my job so if i do work from home i'd expect at least more since i wouldn't have the same great benefits i have here. One job i was offered was to either code ER for facility/physician or to audit them. One was making $15.00 a hour the other was $1.50 a chart with a minimum of 15 charts per hour. I turned that position down because of the hours, they wanted over 40 a week and that was too much for me raising two small children.

Hi Zanalee-
I took the online coding test on a Thursday and had a job offer (by phone) the next Tuesday. Best of luck!

Thanks Kristina, i took the test last Thursday, hopefully they call soon. How soon do you start?
Kristina, when looking on their websites, they are listed by state, do you have to live in that state to do remote work, I wouldn't think so, but have always worked in an office setting.
Thanks for the input

How long did it take for your 3rd interview? I have had 2, the last one a few weeks ago and have not heard anything since. Not sure if I should give up hope or not.
Don't give up hope yet! It wasn't too long in between the second and third interview at first, but the manager had to reschedule the 3rd interview, so it was maybe 10-12 days between those two. But the whole process, start to finish, has taken me 5 months! So, it's not a quick process, but they are very thorough in who they hire, and that takes time. There's a background check, drug test, coding test, etc and that's all before the actual job offer. So no, don't give up yet!![]()
at what point do they offer the test? i have had like 3 interviews so far but nothing mentioned about a test yet??
does anyone know if they are not going to hire you will they still let u know either way?? instead of waiting and wondering..???
I have to ask...how can anyone accurately code 15 charts within an hour? Is that really realistic?
