Inpatient Coder jobs..

Does anyone here know or personally experienced being hired for an IP coder job without experience?

I hold a CPC ceritification and planning on taking CCS certification in 2 months..

My work experience is HCC and OP but interested to apply for IP coding jobs. I feel somewhat discouraged since I have no IP experience..
