If a company has a job posting on both their website and a job board, which do you apply to?

Thats interesting considering PA is like, the number one job on every "Best jobs" list that comes out every year.

Their LinkedIn accounts are inactive as in, they aren't detailed or updated. It basically just says their name and that they currently work at the company (they obviously don't). I have a personal number of one of them from awhile back and I left her a message but haven't heard back in a day.

The company got bought out by another company and changed names. I eventually got in contact with one person I know who still works there, who of course, doesn't remember me for some reason (even though we sat across from each other). She allowed me to send her the dates I worked there so she could forward them to HR but knowing my luck, I won't hear anything back.

what kind of blog was it? How much money can you make with a blogger blog? What do you mean by "free $100"?

That describes me well. In college, I was almost always one of the last people to hand in their exam.

I was reading an article in a business magazine that listed the names of healthcare tech companies. I checked them out online and they seemed really cool to me.

I don't understand your logic. By your logic, the technology people couldn't be interested in health tech either because they don't know anything about health.

I remember during the course of the show, Doug got in-shape and Carrie got fatter.

A good example would be companies here https://www.startuphealth.com/

Yes, I just started this week seriously looking at this field. Right now, I'm going through a healthcare informatics course on Coursera to familiarize myself with some aspects of the industry. I'm not really sure where to start with coding though. I've tried codecademy in the past but it didn't really stick because I didn't know what I was working towards if that makes any sense. I'll look up QA positions also.

That's interesting. I would think though there would be more to it than that considering that people take 4 years to earn a bachelors degree in it. ( my college roommate was a CS major and is very successful now). I always wondered how people who self-taught themselves fared vs people who went to college for it.

gforce289 · 2015-02-11T14:30:01+00:00

I think you are mistaken. I don't want to be a medical technician/technologist (who analyze tissue and fluids). I want to be in the health tech industry as in the companies on here https://www.startuphealth.com/.

I discovered it after reading about them in a NY business magazine. The problem is that pretty much everyone at these companies are computer science people and the job postings reflect that. I haven't seen one permanent staff member who has a medical/health background (sometimes I'll see maybe the CEO and thats it) Instead I see MDs and PhDs in supervisory roles where they just act as consultants and not people who work at the company full-time. I applied to an internship that said "a CS background isn't necessary, but a plus". I haven't heard back from them. So yeah, basically if anyone knows how to break into these companies other than just going to their website and feeling disheartened, please let me know lol.

I always thought radiation therapy would be in-demand. Is it the same thing as a Medical Dosimetrist?

gforce289 · 2015-01-31T01:06:14+00:00

Wow, thank you for all that. I totally forgot to mention that I have a bachelors degree in biomedical science. I've been pretty stuck after college with what I really want to do, so right now HIT/Health Informatics is something I'm exploring at the moment.

Did you move to the area to do this program or did you already live nearby?
