"Growing up, my dream was to become a nurse, but I don't like all the bodily fluids associated with it! I have strong attention to detail and am good with numbers and analysis, so I decided to pursue a Medical Coding degree. I had some great internships where I had to balance many responsibilities at one time, preparing me for a job at Aetna."

Kimberly is a freelance writer and editor with a decade of experience in the education field, including her time as a pre-kindergarten teacher.
"I decided to pursue a degree in Health Information Management after learning more about it at a college visit. I had no idea what it was, but I'm so happy I found it. The courses were so interesting, and there is much more to them than people realize. I had to do a lot of multi-tasking with a full course load plus an evening job to pay for college. This experience with time management and the specific HIM courses I took will prepare me well for this role at Aetna."

Take a few minutes to walk the interviewer through your formal post-secondary education and any on-the-job training. Talk about your most positive take-aways from your post-secondary experience, and be sure to tie in how that experience will help you succeed in this position.
