What recruiters actually look for
Medical coding screens want accuracy over raw speed. Show coding exercises with rationale. Wasted effort: memorizing codes without documentation reading. Campus and industry screens still reward ownership stories over certificate lists. Bring one artifact — lab notebook excerpt, batch record note, case log, or internship report — you can defend in depth.
