We’re happy to bring you part 2 of our interview with Revka Stearns, who joined us on Off the Record to provide an update of her first eight months on the job as a new inpatient coder.

If you haven’t listened to part 1 I’d recommend starting there, since we pick up mid-conversation. On this show we cover:

  • The mechanics of working as a remote coder. Workplace setup and helpful recommendations
  • Dealing with the physical challenges of working at a desk all day and breaking up the routine
  • Unexpected consulting work coming her way … from Canada!
  • Unfiltered conversation about social media. Revka’s take on the social media landscape, dealing with negativity, dispelling persistent myths (there’s no coding jobs! It’s all being outsourced! Yes there are, and not it isn’t—Revka  is proof), and being a consistent, positive, and helpful online presence.
  • Keeping sane through work-life balance, and her latest Off the Record Spotify playlist entry
