Blossom Careers A career hub for H.I.M. & HIT Professionals to strategically find their next opportunity!

Before you enroll in anything, spend one evening doing this instead.

This is for the professional who has been quietly researching another degree or certification because it feels like the only way forward — and hasn't yet confirmed whether employers in their target role are actually asking for it.

There is no single standard across healthcare.

One health system wants a bachelor's, five years, and a credential.
Another wants the years and nothing else.

Same job title. Same work. Completely different gate.

So pull 15 to 20 postings for the role you want — more if you can — and track four columns:

🌸 Education listed
🌸 Certification listed
🌸 Technical skills and systems named
🌸 Required or preferred

Then count the frequency. That's the whole exercise. You're looking for a trend, not one scary posting.

Three things usually happen when people do this.

The credential they were about to pay for shows up as *preferred* far more often than required.

A system or skill they'd never noticed shows up in almost every posting — and that's the actual gap, not the degree.

Or they realize they've been qualified for something for two years and never applied.

Do this for the specific employers you want to work for and it gets sharper still. Regional systems, academic centers, and payers weight these differently.

Education is worth real money when it's the right education for the role you're actually pursuing. The job descriptions will tell you which one that is. For free. Before you sign anything.

This is what happens when your resume finally reflects the level you’re actually operating at!

One client had me audit her resume.
A month later, she submitted it to a children’s hospital, interviewed, got the offer — and the HR rep specifically told her she was impressed with the resume format.

She’s also making $9/hour more than she expected.

Another client went through a full résumé revamp and told me she couldn’t wait to start applying with it.

And one sent me a voice memo laughing that she “keeps reading her résumé like she’s about to become president.” 😂

I keep every message like this because they’re proof of something I see over and over:

A lot of qualified people aren’t struggling because they don’t have the experience.

They’re struggling because their résumé isn’t translating what they’ve already done into what the job they want is actually asking for.

A resume audit shows you what’s hurting your application.

A resume revamp fixes it for you.

And my 1:1 Career Strategy Session gives you the resume strategy plus a personalized plan built around the roles, salary, and direction you’re actually targeting.

I have 1 strategy session spot left for September (by application ONLY).

"There are no entry-level jobs in healthcare."

I hear this constantly. And I understand why it feels true.

But here's the distinction that matters: not being able to find entry-level roles and those roles not existing are two completely different problems.

Most job boards weren't built with a category for you.

There's no separate space for someone with zero to one year of experience, no filter for roles where you can gain a certification after you're hired.

Everyone gets thrown into the same search results — the candidate with ten years of experience and the candidate applying to their first HIM role, competing for visibility in the exact same pool.

That's not a reflection of the job market.
That's a structural problem with where you're searching.

The roles exist.

Right now, there are over 300 entry-level healthcare opportunities on Blossom — remote, hybrid, and on-site — organized by experience level, including roles that don't require a certification upfront and give you time to earn one on the job.

You don't need another credential to start.
You need to be looking in the right place.

The hardest part of a job search isn't finding open roles. 🔎

It's figuring out where you actually belong.

I tell my one-on-one clients the same thing every time:

💰 Before you apply anywhere, know your market value — on a state and national level, in your actual specialty.

Not what you *think* you're worth.
Not what the last job paid.
What the market is actually paying right now for someone with your experience.

Once you know that number, everything else gets easier.

✅ You stop applying to titles that don't match your experience.
✅ You stop wasting time on roles that don't meet your salary target.
✅ You start focusing on opportunities that are a mutually beneficial fit — for you and the employer.

From there, build your Top 10 Target Employers. 🎯

Go to each of their career pages and set up automated job alerts.

It's 2026 — you shouldn't be manually checking a hospital's careers page every morning. 😩

Set the alerts, then go one step further:

📩 Organize your inbox so those notifications land at the top.

⭐ Mark them as important.

📂 Categorize them.

🚫 Make sure they never touch spam/junk.

That's the difference between seeing a posting on day one versus day ten, when 200 other people may have already applied.

⏰ None of this takes more than a few hours of focused time.

But it's the few hours most job seekers skip — and it's usually one of the reasons the search drags on much longer than it needs to.

What's harder for you right now:

I keep seeing a pattern with experienced professionals...especially those with 5+ years of experience.

🎯 They're qualified for higher-paying roles.

They're just targeting the wrong companies, wrong roles, and using a roadblock resume when applying.

One of my clients had: 13 years of experience, BS in Health Information Management, RHIA, and Operational + clinical exposure.

But she wasn't in a role that reflected any of it.

- She didn't buy a full resume rewrite.
- She didn't book a 1:1 strategy session.

➡️ She completed a resume audit and implemented the RACA Resume Method on her own.

📈 Within months, she pivoted into a Data Integrity Specialist role with a $10K+ increase.

Nothing about her experience changed.
The positioning did.

⏩ Six months later, she saw another opportunity and asked me if she needed to “wait it out” before applying again.

My answer?

🚫 No. You already know what to do with your resume. Retarget it for that role and apply!

You are a business.

💼 What you're selling to employers is access to your human capital—your knowledge, skills, experience, and expertise.

Organizations make moves when it makes sense for the business.

Your career deserves the same mindset.

✅ She applied.
✅ She interviewed.
✅ She got the offer.

💰 By the end of those two career moves, she had increased her annual salary by more than $51K in just six months.

That’s a 119% increase.

Not because she waited.

🔥 Because she moved.

Here's what I tell experienced professionals: You need alignment.

Your resume needs to connect the dots in the ATS when you apply.

So let me ask you: Where is your resume falling short right now—Is it opening doors or keeping them closed?

Picture this: 1,000 people apply to the same job posting. They run their resume through ChatGPT with the same basic prompt — "tailor this to the job description."

The output starts to cluster out to all the prompts for that description.

Same phrasing.
Same bullet structure.
Same "spearheaded," same "streamlined," same "cross-functional collaboration" showing up over and over, because it's pulling from the same patterns.

👀 On the other side of that inbox is a hiring manager or recruiter reading resume after resume that sounds like it was written by the same person.

And it's not just a hunch...recruiters and hiring managers have started calling this out publicly, saying they can tell when a resume was run through the same tool with the same generic prompt.

That's the part AI can't fix on its own. It doesn't know what your target department is actually struggling with. It only knows what you tell it... and if what you tell it is just the job posting, you'll sound like everyone else who did the same thing.

AI is a collaborator.
It's not the strategist.

That part is still yours.

🕵🏽‍♀️ Completed a resume audit this week that stopped me in my tracks. She's currently earning about 40% below her market value in her home state, and roughly 30% below the national market rate for someone with her background.

The client has 10 years of healthcare experience and substantial credentials.

And her resume is ONE page long.

Here's the problem with that: when you condense 10 years of experience down to one page, you're not being concise — you're deleting proof.

❌ Keywords, responsibilities, entire skill sets she absolutely has… just gone.

Not because she lacks the experience.

Because the resume never said it. She was also targeting the wrong jobs with an untargeted version of her resume.

Then I looked at her salary.

➡️ 30% below her home state
➡️ 40% below the national market rate

That's not a small gap.

That's tens of thousands of dollars a year she's leaving on the table — not because she isn't qualified, but because nothing in her job search reflects what she's actually capable of.

This is the part people miss: an untargeted resume doesn't just cost you interviews.
Without a real career strategy behind it, it can quietly cap your income for years.

If you've been in healthcare for 5+ years and you're still not sure your resume is telling your full story — or whether you're even being paid what your market value is— that's worth a closer look before your next application, not after.

What's the longest you've gone without updating your resume to match where your market value currently is?

Or do you not even know it?

"I have a medical coding background, so I can just move into IT, right?" — No. 🚫

Medical coding and IT coding aren't the same career track, and treating them as such is why so many qualified people get overlooked.

Here's the layer most people miss: it's not just that they're different—it's what specifically needs to be on your resume to bridge them.

For a medical coder moving toward Epic or Health IT, it's rarely about starting over. It's about knowing which three things to pull forward:

→ End-user experience with Epic or another EHR

→ Technical skills — systems, workflows, analytics

→ Any healthcare or technical education you already have but aren't highlighting

That's the exact resume audit I ran for one of my clients.

She'd been a Medical Coder for 17 years. We didn't add credentials—we repositioned what she already had. She's now a Medical Informatics Analyst with a 21% salary increase. 📈

The pivot is possible.

But "I use the system" and "I qualify for the role" are two different resumes. 🌸

A high resume score doesn't mean a hiring manager wants to interview you. It means you got past the system.
➡️ Two very different wins.

Here's what the score can't measure: whether your bullet points show you understand the role, or whether they just repeat what the job posting already said.

Pull up your resume right now and read your bullet points out loud. If they sound like a copy-paste of your job duties — not what you actually solved, improved, or handled when things got hard — that's the gap.

Not your score.

I spent 7 years as a hiring manager reading resumes. The ones that got picked were the ones where I could tell, in one line, that this person already knew the job before they ever walked in.

AI can help you get the keywords right.

It cannot hand you years of knowing what actually goes wrong in a role, what a hiring manager is nervous about, or what "good" looks like in that seat.

That's still on you to bring.

Comment SCORE and I'll DM you the link to check yours — and see whether it's actually working for you or just passing the system. 🌸

Jamie used the Resume Revamp service, built on the RACA Resume Strategy, to better position her experience, credential, and MHA for higher-level opportunities.

By transforming her resume to clearly communicate her experience, accomplishments, and value, she secured an interview and snagged an offer, pivoting from a Medical Coder to Senior Associate Coding Compliance Coordinator!

She increased her salary by $27k, a 44% pay jump! 🚀

In Jamie’s words: “Your revamp of my resume made a big difference. I was able to secure a salary increase, new title, and gain more experience.”

Your girl’s pen game is going CRAZYYYYY! ✍🏽🔥

Who’s next?!

If you’re not sure whether you need a full résumé revamp, grab a Resume Audit first.

I’ll tell you exactly what’s working, what’s missing, and whether your résumé is actually a roadblock standing between you and your next opportunity. Link in comments
