Tips on getting a job in Healthcare?
July 25, 2013 6:41 AM Subscribe
I am trying to make a career change. I'm really interested in healthcare but I'm having trouble breaking in. Most non entry-level jobs require direct healthcare experience but I only have some indirect experience (a couple healthcare clients from 5 years of traditional marketing/consulting). Any tips for someone looking to make a career change? Thanks!
For example - do you want to work for a provider of healthcare (including as an administrator), in public health, health policy, government health programs...

Do you want to do the same kind of work you did in your marketing/consulting? Do you have a good relationship with those healthcare clients?
It would really help if you could flesh out this question, like, a lot.

Clerks/Unit Assistants are basically like a secretary on a hospital floor. You need admin experience but you will get a lot of exposure to medical language and personnel which could help you learn more about the different jobs in the field.
