I graduated from CS in 2005 and was hired by a national company right away. That was 3 years ago. I tested for my CMT as soon as I reached my 2 year anniversary. I have had a great experience with working and I owe it to my training through Career Step. I think you will be fine!
Good luck to you with your studies!!!

Career Step Success Story
Hello. Well, I graduated from Career Step in December and now have a job that I love. I thought the course was great. I still go to the Graduates Forum on Career Step everyday, and people are getting jobs everyday, even with all the negative chat that you hear on MTStars and MTChat. I know that the price was right for me and that I had a job a month after graduation. I know there was a slow hiring period in the last few months b/c of holiday, New Year, and whatnot. I don't know what negative talk has gone on about the Career Step program. I try to stay away from all the negative comments on the board - they are just depressing - lol. I hope whatever you choose works out for you. The only thing that scared me was all the EMR talk right when I graduated. It still scares me, because I love this job. But, it is pretty much out of my hands. Right now I am a happy working MT.
Good Luck :)
same story with me
I am so dissapointed with at home professions. I scored good in their course but getting job only I know how much I lossed. If you can help me with anything please answer me asap.
Reminds me of a story; and I have a question
A story I read many years ago in Readers' Digest was about a guy who tried to get hired to operate heavy equipment even though he had no experience. He lied, got a job and was fired the first day because it was obvious he didn't know anything. So he went to a similar company, stayed a few hours longer and was fired for the same reason. Third hire, he had enough experience from the first 2 that he kept on for decades.
So, while not commenting on the merits of how you went about it, I do have a question: Did they figure out after you were hired you had no experience? Do you still work for them?
and you are one of the success stories...sm
And congratulations to you!! But for every online success story, there are dozens of bad stories regarding meeting men/women online.
would not say success = job with national

Good for you!!! I wish you much success in your new chapter.
There are a lot of positive people on this site that can offer loads of advice, all of whom started off as "newbies" (I dislike that phrase). We all start off somewhere. I do think it is harder now a days with hospitals outsourcing, but definitely NOT impossible. I would leave you my e-mail address in case you have any questions but that is not allowed, and I never insert it because I'm afraid I'll get hate mail later on from some of the disgruntled MT's :).
Good luck!!
Typing speed is no guarantee of success
as an MT. If you haven't had any MT training, you will fail rather spectacularly. Get some training. Get GOOD training, not some matchbook-cover school. Andrews, M-Tec, Career Step--those schools will provide the training that will get you a job. Don't try to cut corners with a cheap school. If you get the right training, and if you have the talent for the job, you will not lack for work.
So you can't do the ESL doctors? Your skills may be what's limiting your success
Your skills may be limiting you. Do some work on them. See if you can bring your work up to the level necessary to do well. You can do it!
I'd also rather hear from a successful employer with a good plan for continued success
Success breeds success. When I look for a leader or mentor or someone to give me advice, I look for someone who has been successful. That person will have to be able to identify his or herself and have verifiable proof to back up their claims. There are ways to do that. Blind posts on message boards don't do it.
Love, love, love your story! nm
