If you don't have any experience working in a doctor's office, consider your connections. Your resume may only take you so far, so network to see if you can get your foot in the door by who you know. Start with your immediate friends and family and ask if they know anyone who works in a medical office.

How Social Security Works. Social Security is often characterized as a retirement program because a majority of its beneficiariesâ70 percentâare retired workers or the spouses and children of those people. In general, workers qualify for retirement benefits if they are age 62 or older and have paid sufficient Social Security taxes for at least 10 years. However, Social Security also provides other types of benefits, such as payments to deceased workersâ survivors, who make up 11 percent of beneficiaries.
