January 20, 200718 yr Member While in college worked three years with the Federal government dealiing with the Medicare contract in our state...was the youngest to advance to a position where I talked to healthcare providers regarding why their claims would not process...stepped down from that position when my grandmother became ill (used my Medicare knowledge to get best home care for her, while I stayed home to care for her)...Now, completed college, and am a care provider for my grandmother, while working part-time at Bath and Body Works....
January 21, 200718 yr Member I'm a historian/archivist for years I tracked down archives that belonged to Italy but were kept in former East European countries I also did the same for The Netherlands for a while.Right now I'm head of the local archive of the town I live in.
January 21, 200718 yr Member This is really interesting. I work at a major financial institution as a customer service representative in the 401k department. Basically most companies outsource their handling of 401ks, pensions, health and insurance and payroll to companies like mine. I answer phone calls for people with concerns about their 401ks. If people want to take loans against their 401k or withdraw money or roll it to another place, I process it. If they want to change their contributions, I process it. They want to scream at me for something, I listen and calm them down. I recently got promoted and I will become a coach for new hires and help answer questions. I will listen to their calls and teach them how to service the customers more effieciently. I also report to the big boss who is doing well and who is struggling and needs extra coaching. If you ever have have to call one of the big companies about your 401k, you may be talking to me. I have to start licensing soon to take my series 6 and 63. I will be making between 16.50 and 17.50 and when I get my licenses, that will increase as well. I now qualify for bonuses up into the thousands of dollars every quarter if I make my goals

January 21, 200718 yr Member 2 yrs I go to take my test in New Brunswick there is hospital stuff on it as well, but I won't get graded heavily on that, just on the tech part, which is good
January 21, 200718 yr Member 2 yrsI go to take my test in New Brunswick there is hospital stuff on it as well, but I won't get graded heavily on that, just on the tech part, which is good Sort of like a course on Medical terminology? When I took my job with Medicare while in school, I had to have medical terminology, as well as taking a course in understanding the Medicare health claims (Hospital, Home Health, Hospice, Skilled Nursing).....I am thinking about re-applying for a position with them again.. Although it was hard juggling that and school, I did enjoy it.
January 21, 200718 yr Member ^^^ You will do fine, Lee...You like what you do, and you like helping others, so, you will succeed in your goal to get that certification
