The last position I applied to was my current job as the Finance Manager for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, Siletz Community Health Clinic. This was the first time after I graduated with my Bachelors degree that I was looking for a long-term professional career, in which my work history, experience, and my schooling would impact the positions I was ‘qualified’ for. Most of my previous experience was in the accounting field, with both for-profit and non-profit experience. As a tribal member, I really wanted to give back to my community and my tribe and work for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The job description was clear and led with a position title, location, immediate supervisor, salary (negotiable), and classification. The introduction was an executive summary of what the position might entail, the minimum requirements for the position, and several other areas of listed bullet points (knowledge of, duties, supervisory responsibilities, complexity, scope and effect, and physical demands\/work environment). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With my background experience being in mostly accounting and business office operations, I felt that I was qualified to play a lead role in the finance office for the tribe. My experience included fund accounting, which is what the job description stated. I had previous experience in supervisory roles along with multiple classes in the nursing field (from earlier years of schooling before I changed my courses to the business field). I had also previously worked in the Siletz Community Health Clinic in an entry level position, so I was familiar with the software used within the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only downfall to my experience was that I had no professional experience within the medical field. I was not familiar with medical billing and coding procedures, electronic health records, or regulations associated with Medicaid, Medicare, and other insurance companies. Nevertheless, I had previously taken several medical courses over my years in college, so felt as though I would be able to learn this area of the job in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attached above is the job description for my current position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
