without screwing up all the alignment and getting all the lines mixed together. I don't use Word too much except for transcription and this is probably basic. I know how to copy the resume, and paste it into the box. That's where it all goes wrong  .

When I copy my resume to the ads on the job board it gets all messed up, dates on the wrong line,
and I have to straighten it all back out again, so that the name of the hospital that I worked at is on the first line, then the dates worked there, etc. My question is, do I need to straighten this out or does it just mess it up more for the person who is trying to print it out who receives it. It is perfect when I copy it from MSword, but then when I paste it, it is messed up. Should I straighten it out to look right because the place that is hiring will read it from that place that I copied it to or should I leave it the way it was originally because they will open it to a larger screen and it will appear normal again?! I'm not sure which I should be doing so that the person on the other end gets a normal appearing resume! Thanks for your help!

That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.
Then you can paste it in a document.
It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.
It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.

RESUME
I went to the Company's Board and sent my resume to all of the companies that I felt would work for me. Specifically, I did not want to supply my own equipment. Plus my resume was simply a description of my past experiences. I didn't put in "objectives, goals, etc." I simply stated what I did. I have never done a resume and did not use a specific format. I got a reply and got hired over the phone in less than ONE day. I didn't have the equipment to test with, so they will just watch my work for two weeks, and if I "pass," I'm hired. They furnish all the equipment if you want them to, the recruiter was SO nice and comfortable, and the start pay was rather good. I came from a "not so nice" company, so I'm SO happy. I didn't post my resume as I feel there are so many ones posted, it would be next to impossible for a company to go through all those resumes. This way, I went to the company, presented myself via my "simple" resume, and got an email the next morning. That is the way I would do it. Use the Company Board and just keep sending your resume to all the companies. Your resume comes back after you post; you just go on to the next company and post ...... easy as pie. Good Luck!!
Resume
Has anyone been able to actually log into the resume sectoin on the Job Seeker's board? I created a user ID/password last weekend and still get a log in error. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem.
On my resume
I list my current work status as follows:
Independent Contractor - Medical Transcriptionist
5/00 - Present
Include a statement about refs being available upon request, and then provide the refs of your choosing based on how many they want.
Why does my resume pop up here?
Whenever I click on Apply Now on any job ad on the job seeker board here, my resume is automatically pasted into the box!!
How did that happen? I don't paste it - it's already there.

Does anyone know where I can find samples of MT resumes?
what to put on resume???
I am kind of at my wit's end here. I have only worked for two different companies as a transcriptionist, one for 17 years and the present one for 12 years. What do I need to put on a resume, besides these two companies that I have worked for. Should I list the types of reports I have transcribed? Does anyone know of a template that I could use for this? Thanks to all!!
resume
I was told to copy into a notebook format and use the notebook to copy and paste it into the text boxes. I did this to be on the safe side after noticing the same problem you are having.
What I do on my resume....
I put "Formerly credentialed by AHIMA as a Registered Health Informaation Administrator." At one time I had "inactive" after the letters, but changed that to the 'former.' No one has ever questioned me on it one way or another. I still have my original certification letter and credential certificate in case i ever need to prove it.
I sent my resume sm
I am glad someone else asked about them. I got a letter of introduction.
Gotta have DSL, not cable (I have cable). They go into detail about the number of lines per period expected, but nothing about how lines are counted. They do not give the stipulations of how a sign on bonus is to be paid out either. They only have 2 positions open and they are both 3 to 11.
I usually jump on a job (if I am looking which I am right now) if I have not seen the company advertise extensively for MTs. I figure if a company is always looking for MTs, it is because they have a low MT retention rate. This is not always the case, but it is my first thought. I also come here and read about a company too.
I got this letter after I had agreed to full time with another company that doesn't advertise much either. The line rate is quite a bit less, but it is employee status, matching taxes, company contributes to health insurance and it is not very expensive with 7 different plans to choose from, dental, vision and a PTO program that pays based on your average hourly rate over the previous 90 days, which is pretty fair if you ask me. Given the state of my income tax bill...a lower line rate with some benefits and some help on taxes all look good to me. They will reimburse for my internet, but as I have another PT IC job I won't be putting in for this, I'll need it for my taxes (it is not very high in any case).
So...here I go, my first employee status as an MT.
Of note, I have a place I gave my notice to today. They pay 10 and 11 cents a line and there is never any work, or at least it has gotten to where they run out on a regular and predictable basis. On top of that, I think they have slowly shifted how they are counting lines because I have been working faster and over the same numbers of hours, but my checks have gotten smaller and smaller to the point where last check was HALF what my check had been the last of October! I am out of there.
resume
Does anyone know if there is any way to post a resume, like there used to be?
maybe it's the resume.
Can you get someone to look it over and make suggestions?
Include all tech you are familiar with, types of reports you are proficient at, etc.
resume
What I have found to be a constant problem in placing ads for positions is indeed the resume. I know that they say you only get "one chance to make a first impression" but a resume IS your one chance. If you are asked to paste to email only and download it instead, you have already lost. If you are listing your experience in Cardiology, Radiology, etc and capitalizing items in the resume that should not, you are have lost. Our profession calls for precise knowledge of things capped and not capped, hyphen, none, etc. So if a resume is a reflection of the person then as an MTSO not sitting and interviewing you in person, you have a resume in hand to go by. It should be as close to perfect as can be.
Giving away age is as simple as stating you have worked in WP 5.1 or 6.1. AND some companies, mine included will eagerly look for those experiences because it shows you have been around a while and know the field.
When you get say 200 resumes for a position, you have to whittle down the responses so you first go by the appearance of the resume, and by that I do not mean something aesthetically pleasing, but use of grammar and caps. Then I check for qualifications...if I asked for experienced only apply and they dont have experience, circular file. If I ask for specific background or equipment and they dont have it, circular file. There is always a method to getting down to the people that are qualified and testing those people, but it is a long and time consuming process. To respond back to all resumes is time consuming and to do it in a timely matter is difficult so process of elimination is utmost.
Does your resume show a lot of short-term jobs? I look for that because I believe most companies are looking for long-term IC not fly-by-night, so again, there are many things a resume tells a person.
Does it list the equipment you OWN?? I dont care much for what equipment you may be able to work, but own yes. In this day of computers and Dictaphone, Lanier, voice files, etc, a company asking for specifics, like owning Lanier or Dictaphone want to be able to see that reflected on the resume. I have probably sent out 200 emails asking about equipment, even though my ad clearly states 'MUST HAVE' I will get 100 resumes from people that dont have the equipment, dont have the experience, have never even transcribed or taken a course. So do not just assume that we KNOW you meet our requirements listed because you apply, we may have to ask if it is not on a resume.
The resumes I like the most are short and to the point..
name, add, phone number, email and cell phone
course work or where you learned transcription. I truly do not care what grade school you went to, high school or college. If it does not pertain to MT work then frankly it doesn't help to know you are an Honor Student from some college. That will NOT GET THE REPORT TRANSCRIBED CORRECTLY.
work experience - and start with most current going back. I dont want to read your jobs from 1800 and work my way up. I want to see where YOU ARE NOW in this field and work my way back. We all start somewhere, were a newbie once, but at the time of hiring, I need to see how FAR you have come.
reference materials - yes they help, being able to Google something is fine, but having a reference source at hand to know the caps, not capped, etc, is important. Google has things done so many ways it is not always the most precise for that purpose.
equipment OWNED - like own Dictaphone, Lanier, computer, fax - is it dedicated or shared - computer, etc.
platforms worked, i.e. Citrix, Star, HBO. Meditech, RadTrans, that type of thing.
WHAT I DONT CARE TO READ IN A RESUME
hobbies - could care less about your bowling experience or knitting projects....they have nothing to do with work
movies you like
jobs that did NOT pertain to MT work. I dont care if you were a great bartender or worked third shift for Motorola for 10 years. I DO CARE about things that pertain to what I am hiring for.
When an ad stats looking for STEADY, RELIABLE MT, that means just that...so if I see you had 10 jobs in 5 years, the word steady kinda goes out the door. If I email you back once and no answer, could be glitch, twice and not answer, reliable is wavering now also.
There are a lot of variables to WHY a resume is not responded to. If I have to sift through a bunch of stuff that does NOT pertain to what I am looking for, I dont, I move on. Without seeing yours I cant say why, but I hope this helps a little bit.

I got my job from my resume off of here. sm
She saw it on there and then phoned me. Gave me an phone interview and then I got the job. It is always no that easy obviously, but she did get my resume from here.
But, she was the only one. I have never been contacted again about it.
Need Some Help With My Resume
I'm trying to write a resume (first one in you don't wanna know how many years, LOL!) and my poor little pea-brain.... I can't, for the life of me, remember the exact dates and order of my various jobs. I DO for the most part remember WHO I worked for...
So today I called the hospital that I worked for twice. They were able to give me the dates of my second tour of duty there, but they claimed to have no record of my first stint with them. The rather rude HR clerk told me that those records had probably been purged. Keep in mind that I'm sure of what YEAR I started with them that time around (1991), but not sure of the month, and clueless about when I left that time around. Is 1991 really so long ago that an HR dept wouldn't have records????
But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I've worked for the Q at least 3 times (it might be 4, due to acquisitions and mergers). I worked for another medium-size MTSO twice also. Sometimes I was working 2 jobs at one time. Once I worked for a lady who was doing IC work for the VA. I have no clue what her name was, and she no longer has an office in the place where I worked for her.
How do I possibly consolidate this all into a functional resume????
Thank you so much for any help you can offer!
I have a copy
I have a AAMT BOS 2nd edition with CD. It is in good condition and has two highlighted passages. Email me if interested.
If you do need a copy of XP Pro...
Try Newegg. You can purchase software that system builders would buy. It's the same thing you'd find at any major store, without the pretty box. I just bought XP home edition for about $90. It came in a bubble envelope with a manual and all the appropriate documentation and license key. I looked quickly on Newegg and saw XP Pro for $139. You can also ask for XP Pro to be installed on your new laptop from the company you are buying it from.
any way I can get a copy of it
I would love to have a copy of that.....got some friends who are newbies and I would also like to refresh my memory!
I'd like a copy too please....
if you wouldn't mind emailing me one. Grazi!!!
Can't help copy, BUT
Will you own all the entries you put on the hospital's server? Make sure you can copy your dictionary each day or two and take it home with you. Heavy use of Expanders is so new that there aren't a lot of horror stories being told yet by people whose incomes dropped drastically when they lost their jobs because with them they also lost the personalized dictionaries they spent years developing. But they will be.
Need to get a copy of BOS - 2 or 3,
depending on what your company/client uses. In that there is a list of dangerous abbreviations that are not to be used.
I think you actually have to have a copy,
but you can check with the IRS to be absolutely sure.
Microsoft Word.. The oold Word used to do this and I'm new to 2003 Word..nm

resume response
yeah, i know what you're saying. have not heard from spheris (three weeks now). so i move on. it just kinda makes you think either their busy and have no time (do they have time for the hired who need help?)or they looked at your resume and decided to pass.
Because the pay is better and the title looks much better on any resume for any job.

How to send a resume
I see a lot of posts on people upset because they send in resumes and never get a reply. Here are some tips.
1. Make sure your name and address are on the document. I will not repond to "partygirl27" as the only name on the email or document.
2. If the ad says you must have X number of years experience and you do not, don't apply. There are reasons we post you need a certain amount of years. Received a resume yesterday where the person just graduated this month.
3. In your "objective" area, try to put something better than "I hope to do gooder."
4. Be a little more specific about the types of documents you have transcribed and the types of dictators. It doesn't help me much when you say, "I typed reports."
5. Working near a hospital or medical instrument doesn't count as experience. Example: "I packed up surgical equipment for shipment."
6. Spellcheck your document! If I see one that says, "I am a very accurate typier", I am not going to respond.
7. Set yourself up an email just for your job or job hunting. There are numerous free ones out there. I received a resume first thing this morning from "Baby_Got_Back." Good for Baby, but it's the brain we are interested in.
I kid you not folks, some of these just make you want to bang your head on something!
Good resume ;) lol
I tried to tell my daugher she should change her email name when she was sending resumes out on her "blondehairgirly" email. lol (She didn't lol)
Letter/resume
Send in a resume/letter to the head of HR and the MR Dept asking if there are any openings and if the use an outside service would they please pass on your resume to them as you are very interested in working for the hospital. Wouldn't hurt. Better than a phone call and they can see on paper what qualifications you have and perhaps sign you on as an employee, IC or something.
I never saw a resume go back so far!
