Check out the Job Seeker's board here.
I saw a couple of ads that mentioned newbies could apply.

There were two jobs on the Job Seeker's board
over the weekend that were looking for typists and general transcriptionists. Try one of them as a starting point. I don't know anything about either of those companies, but I started out doing general transcription while I was still in school. I worked for emediamillworks/FDCH, an insurance company and a small MTSO in New England doing work comp reports until I got hired to work at home by our local hospital.
Just proceed with caution. Don't go buying a bunch of equipment or paying anybody for a job. I wouldn't invest in anything except MS Word and a footpedal (can be bought on Ebay). You can download Express Scribe for free to play the sound files on your computer with the footpedal.

Regardless of what it says for experience, request to test for them. If you are good and pass the test, you may be given an opportunity. This is what I did 4 years ago. I got the job as an IC, and then not too longer after added another, and then another. I just kept replying to job ads and requesting to test. I passed the tests and was offered the jobs. Most of the time, I wasn't even asked about my experience. The proof is in the pudding. If you can do good work, are reliable, and are flexible in when you're willing to work, you can find something. You just need to get out there and start replying to ads.

Job advertisements are listed on the Job Seeker's board. (SM)
The ads are usually very descriptive of whether it is an IC or employee position. Sometimes they refer the viewer to their website for more information. You should start there.
I doubt seriously you could just do a Google search for these types of positions in general. This is why we have a Job Seeker's board for companies and hospitals and clinics, etc., to advertise their positions.
As far as other websites for finding jobs, that would be a competitive website and we do not allow discussion or referencing of competitive websites on MTStars.
If I can help you any further, please do not hesitate to e-mail me. I'm happy to help you if I can.

Check the "company" board
or do a search.
Check the classified on this board -
Someone may have a used one for sale. No, the wav pedal will play on a program such as realplayer
Check the company board -sm
I've seen talk on there of several companies that hire new grads.
I actually got hired at MQ right out of school - but it was a much different company then. I worked there for 3-1/2 years and bailed when the first signs of sinking occured. 
I honestly only have experience with them and the company I'm currently at - and I don't think my current one hires new grads. Check out the company board though and I'm sure you'll find a company that will make you much happier than MQ could.
Check the company board. These same
questions have been asked multiple times the past couple of weeks. I didn't see anything good about them.
You can check the classified board here. I buy
mine direct from Stedman's. You can check Amazon too.
Check the company board for info on them.

Spheris being discussed now on the Company board. Check

next time, check the word board, and the critical MT's
will not lecture you. The MT's on the word board are fabulous.
I really can't think of what the medication you are sounding out is. Sorry.
Good luck!
If you'll check the company board you'll find
they have been talked about several times recently. They are an Indian company and no one has had anything good to say about them.
I need job seeker advice *sm*
I failed the MQ test and am losing hope when it comes to getting on with a national company. I have heard that newbies have better chances of finding a position with a local business or clinic. So, I'm wondering what the best way is to contact local businesses. Should I go door to door, call, send a resume and card? Any other ideas? 
Read ALL the posts on this board & the Company board and you'll

You need to pick a school that is approved by AHDI.

I went to school back in 1971 to be an MT and if I would have had my internship that they offered back then to work during the summer months (as it a was 2 year college), I would NEVER have finished my second year of school to be one. Been doing this about 35 years and my pay has been torn in half compared to 1987 salaries. Even working part time, don't think you would ever get a paycheck that would be worth anything.
And if you are doing this to stay home with kids, how do you expect to work as an MT with the headset on trying to figure out ESL doctors and watch the kids too? This profession is definitely not worth it anymore, and if you are still young enough to go back to school, RUN, RUN, RUN and sign up for something else.
Check out Andrews and M-TEC if you want the best-nm

Reality check
When HIPAA went into effect that fateful October, the AMA did a survey and less than 50% of physician practices had any HIPAA compliance practices in place or had started preparing them. That is a fact. In the private office setting, the office can include anything they wish into their compliance notification their patients sign and their patients have the option to opt out of whatever sections they don't want to participate in. That is a fact.
It is personal preferences in complying with HIPAA regulations, not just for the MD but for the patient. That is a fact.
Reality check.
You may think you are a great MT or can be, but experience is not something you can fake. I have no idea if you are new to MT or not, but if you are trying to break into the field and plan to lie about your experience it will show and it will show in every aspect of your job. I know for a fact my company checks references and many companies do. Posting such a question is just galling. What kind of work ethic is that?
Check the archives
I recommend you go to the MQ board - they have their own, you know - and read the archives. You have to punch an "e time clock" and work exactly your schedule. Seems they frequently run out of work, and have to make up that time from their personal time. However, they may be more likely to hire a newbie than another national. Happy reading!
I agree - definitely check out M-TEC! nm

check what is required before u
take the exam. For myself, I did not take any exam at all and had been doing med transcription for more than 3 years now. I did, however, took a course as my background was engineering. If you are just new in this career, most companies will require a formal training. The fact that a lot of MTs are competing for jobs, you would be better off with a formal training (just like any other career). I hope this helps.
Could try RMT w/less than 2 yrs exp. check w/AHDI

Check with your school and see if
Check out the All Type ad
They may consider you.
Spell Check
Try to avoid using a medical spell checker while you are in school, but always use regular spell check. For employment testing, use both.
For troublesome medical terms you might consider creating an alphabetic electronic word list.
Website is ahdionline.org
Please check out the classifieds
board to see my newly listed item please. I think many of the new MT's or students will find it quite helpful. Thanks!

check with local hospitals
I contacted a local hospital (SW Michigan) and was told that they hire MT students and graduates. But they also said that all you really need is physiology, medical terminology, anatomy and typing skills. Seeing how you have a strong medical background, you might want to check into something like that.
Check with your local hospitals
Sometimes they offer training if you have the basics. There is a hospital in my area that will work with you for up to a year until they feel you are ready to be on your own. Definitely worth checking out.
My glasses are fine, thank you, you should check yours.
I never said the poster said those schools were approved, but when the poster makes a statement about the AAMT and then makes the following statement, "I also wouldn't recommend anyone to one particular "approved" school". That comment could be confusing for someone unfamiliar with the industry because the only approved schools are Andrews and M-Tec, which the poster than proceeds to recommend.
It's obviously somewhat confusing because it managed to confuse you.
