Hiring new grads
Does anyone have any information on which companies might be hiring new grads, or anyone willing to give a newbie a chance? I am having a hard time finding work, and I've been out of school for about 6 weeks. Is this unusual or am I expecting too much too soon? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hiring new grads
Check out mtbot.com. Click on the jobs and it will take you to a list of companies. The companies that hire newbies will state so, and just go from there.
Good Luck
Any companies hiring newbies???

companies that are hiring newbies...
I have a friend who has 1 year experience in PT but hasn't worked for a few years...does anyone know of places that are hiring for someone with not so much experience?
Thanks... 
A few more companies hiring newbies
I just saw the currently USA Medical Transcription, Inc is not hiring entry-level MTs, here are a few more companies known to hire new MTs.
Are there any companies hiring graduates?
I graduated from Career Step program and looking for a second shift position. Does anybody work for a company that is currently hiring graduates? Thanks for any responses!
Which companies are best to hire Andrews grads
TIA
Companies waive the 2-year requirement for CS grads too.
CS grads have no problem finding jobs. I had several offers before I even received my final exam results. 
Most companies will not hire grads of the "cheap" schools, so it's a waste of money.
Their courses are crap, and the people who do the hiring know it. They don't teach you anywhere near enough for you to be able to work at home on your own.
Also, you will have very little time to study/learn (or work, for that matter) with that many children. You need it quiet, and you need to be able to concentrate. You can't do this job with children running around, or on your lap, or at your feet. You have to do it when they are sleeping, or at school, or have someone watch them (which will most likely cost you money).
they are not hiring..look elsewhere.

Hiring
Hi I'm I guess what they would call a an MT newbie. How exactly can you get the 2 years experience that most companies require if they won't hire you without having any experience? It seems like every company on the internet wants a minimum of 2 years experience. I am just starting out in this field and would actually like to work as an IC. 
the hiring of new mt's
Can someone give some ideas on how to break into this business? Who hires the "newbies"? Please give some company names that may take on some new mt's
Why isn't she hiring you since she sm
recommended you go there?
And Spheris is definitely hiring because they sent me
a postcard in the mail. I've never worked there before, but they want me to apply there. I haven't heard good things about their software in the past, so I doubt I've ever applied with them.
Meditech is hiring right now for
Jumpstart internship and MT jobs. Contact Corie@meditec.com for info.
Hiring Newbies
Medi-Voxx out of Louisville Kentucky hired me right out of school. I've been with them for close to one and a half years now. I love the work and the company is great. They mentored me and I can't say enough good things about this company. Give them a try.
Focus always hiring
I started there as a newbie and they were great. I still work for them part time, along with another company. They were very patient and they QA you until you are ready to be on your own. You will still get feedback even after to get off QA. They will give you a chance if you do okay on the test. They hired me even though I did not completely pass the test, but they said I did well enought to hire. Now I have greater than 98% accuracy on a consistent basis. They are a decent company, despite some of the negative posts I have read about them from others. I also do agree it is best to have more than one company once you get some experience. Every once in a while they do run low on work.
Good Luck,
Sue
hiring newbies
Hi. Have you tried MediVoxx? They hired me as a newbie right out of school and mentored me for the past two years. I love working for them. If you are interested, please email me and I will give you information on how to apply. Best of luck to you either way. It is a hard field to get into, but is rewarding when you do.
hiring company
I found a company online offering MT jobs, as well as an 8 week course you could take if you wanted to. They say "minimal experience is okay." The company is Med Trans Inc. Anyone heard of them?? Should I steer clear?
Are you not passing the hiring tests or isn't
s
No ESLs on my account, but they're not hiring.
Their current ad on the other board says they're hiring
s
Did the MTSO, who is saintly for hiring newbies,
x
I work for a small MTSO. They aren't hiring - sm
I've been with them for years, and they still have the same group of 10-12 MTs. Very steady, but they rarely hire new people.
MT Grads
Hi,
I am in the same boat. Recent grad that has applied to numerous companies-I think I am running out of options. Single parent with 2 children and stressed about where to go from here. May have to get a job doing something all together different just to get by. Feel I am running out of time and don't know what to think or what to do or where to go.
Jade
NO. Not all CS grads do. Those who want to be
do Spheris sample reports instead of the CareerStep advanced portion of the course. Most people who go to CareerStep do NOT go through the Spheris Training Track. I didn't.
M-Tec grads
Hi,
I am a little confused about the price on M-Tec School. Can anyone tell me how much it is with shipping and handling. I am interested in the Tier 1 payment plan.
Thanks,
Bob
New MT Grads.....
It looks Medquist is hiring for new MT Grads. I know there were some looking for a position to get their feet wet. They are currently looking for new grads at Medquist.
New grads
I am also a new grad of CS. There is a post on the job board for Another Medical Must, and they just hired me. I begin to train next week.It has taken me 6 months, but I finally have a chance :)
They seem to be hiring quite a few new people now, so apply to the job post.
Employment for New Grads
I am a recent grad. I graduated with a GPA of an A.
Is there any company that hires new grads?
So far, I have not found any.
Thank you.
employment for new grads
AMEN! While I am not a recruiter, I have run into that 2-year thing. I also agree with you about what CS consider 'experience'. Thanks for stating it!
Re: Recent Grads
Hi Amy,
I am the one who made the original post. I'm not so "upset and disgusted" anymore. :-) I thought I might give you a little advice on finding a job.
I think I said this in my post, but the way that I went about it was sending my resume to every company I could send it to. Even if the company stated they wanted two years of experience. My resume outlines my specific skills as an MT, i.e. computer, terminology, etc...and also outlines lists the specific courses I took in my college program.
There are literally hundereds of companies out there. I don't know if you are wanting to work from home or work in a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office, but I would do the same thing either way. I sent my resume to many, many companies.
If you are looking online and the company website offers testing for employment, take the test. That is how I ultimately landed the job I have now. The company I work for states they want 2 years of experience, but I tested for them and they hired me because I passed.
It is not easy to land that first job. You just have to be determined and keep at it. Since I got hired I have had 5 more job offers. It will happen for you too. Good luck!
MTEC Grads
I just finished my coursework at M-TEC. I can't wait for my test to be graded...and I'm itching to find a job. Before my test, I was 95%. I'm wondering if anyone knows what companies routinly hire from M-Tec so I can go looking now and not have to wait till I am able to access the COC on M-TEC's website?
Any new grads having better luck?
I graduated from one of the top 3 MT schools at the end of October with a 96% GPA. I have sent my resume, filled out applications, and taken tests to the point of losing count. The majority of the companies have not responded back (I still don't know if I've even passed or failed the tests I've taken), the few that have responded say they are not hiring at this time or not hiring new graduates or entry level or their company is reorganizing. I keep telling myself this is all part of the economic problems we are having, but I can’t help feel somewhat discouraged. I would appreciate anyone out there with some input about their job hunting. Thanks!
M-tec , Career step Grads
I am looking for a good affordable MT school. From what I have read Andrews is top notch but expensive. Any graduates of M-Tec or Career Step please let me know if you were happy or not with your choice.
No jobs for At-Home grads
I completed the At-Home course last Nov with a 95% GPA, and I still have not landed a job. I have sent out so many resumes and emails that I have lost count.
I even sent At-Home a letter asking if they would help me out, but their only response was that most MT's seek employment through the Internet; that's it. I don't know what they mean by 'graduate assistance.'
I have discovered through other MT message boards that the majority of At-Home grads cannot even get their foot in the door because of the lack of training/education. Even employers have posted statements that they too don't hire At-Home grads. If I don't find work soon I may have to study again with one of the top '3' schools that I've heard so much about.
I would never recommend this school to anyone!
Spheris will hire grads
from Career Step without even making them take an employment test. There are many other large nationals who allow grads from CS, M-Tec and especially Andrews to take their employment test, and if they pass, they are hired WITHOUT 2 years experience.
Don't call it BS if you don't know what you are talking about.
ANYONE will hire grads. That's not the issue...
poster was trying to say a graduate of the top 3 is equivalent in the job market to someone with 2 years experience.
also not just ANY career step grads...
you have to have the special Spheris training, which I might add, puts another two months on your training period. Employment is not guaranteed. By the way, are you a salesperson for Career Step, perchance? Because I think you really misrepresented the situation. Especially here on an NEW MT board.
Because grads of some schools are not having those problems
Some are doing very well. They actually teach. They charge for their services, but they actually provide an education in return. That's the way it's supposed to be. The problem is when students want to take the easy way out. They invite unscrupulous people to take advantage of them. Some of the poor schools are glad to do that, over and over again.
calling all M-Tec students/grads...
How many hours a week did it take any of you to complete the Tier 1-Premier program in 12 months or LESS? Is it possible to still work 30 hrs/wk and do this?
From my experience in working with grads from both -
PLease do not make your decision based on one school sounding like you can get through it faster than the other. I used to perform QA duties and had the opportunity to work with grads from both schools. The schools both produce excellent MTs. I would have to say, and this is only MY opinion from the grads we hired, that the grads from M-Tec had better ears and the ones from Andrews seemed to have more book knowledge overall. I chose M-TEC because I liked how everyone sounded on the message boards. Kathy and Susan were the only instructors when I attended, and both of them are super nice and were (and still are!) willing to answer just about any question I came up with. Call up both schools and chat with whoever answers the phone and go with your gut. :-) Remember, you are only going to get what you put into any school. Good luck in which ever one you choose!
Night Hours for New Grads?
Hi,
Are new graduates from MT programs like M-Tec or CS offered night hours, any evening p/t or f/t jobs?
Thanks
I think most of the new grads are having a hard time.
I still haven't found a job myself, and I graduated this May. I would go through your local phone book and start calling all of the transcription companies if you haven't already. Call the hospitals, too. Start applying everywhere. MTdaily has a list of companies and most of the companies have a carreer or job opportunity link on how to apply. I know how frustrating it can be. I am actually considering switching to legal transcription.
Selkirk College grads
I would like to know how many Selkirk College grads of the AMT program actually find work working online upon completion of their studies.
I simply cannot find a job. Am I the only Selkirk grad that cannot find work? Unfortunately, I have to work online, as there are no jobs in my community. It is very disappointing to spend a lot of money and still be unemployed!
Some of us CS grads are very successful, but still think CS is inferior
to Andrews and M-TEC. Just my opinion, of course.
Your school should be able to tell you who hires their grads. -sm

who hires new grads with vista?
I am a new grad looking for an at home position. I was accepted with a company, but they are not compatible with Vista. Does anyone know of another ? Thanks!
New Grads and students beware
DO NOT WORK FOR TOTH TRANSCRIPTION. They will not pay you, and they prey on new grads. There have been MANY people come forward claiming the same thing. They are a complete scam. Take my warning, do not work for them.
I'm a trainer at my Job and I get Allied grads
Lynette,
I've found the key to making it work for Allied grads is to follow up with a good internship and job training placement.
We do this at our company and we have Allied grads who work out fine. What they seem to need is 2 to 3 more months of hands on training to be ready to produce valuable work.
There is no reason to give up or quit and spend $3400 with Andrews to be able to retake APT (anatomy, physiology, terminology). And I believe Allied uses the SUM material for Beginning Med Typing- SUM has been around for decades I think.
A recent trainee of mine went to Allied and followed up with internship at Med Workshops. The internship made it happen for her. She is now doing fine and going on 1-1/2 yrs employed with us.
I want to go a little further on this subject:
Tuition is going to have to go down in the current economic climate. $3400 and up for tuition is just too steep for most people. Even the best schools will be hit hard by the reduction in discretionary spending.
First, I'm not one of the "little grads" I'm not their grad at all.
Just because for many years anyone who wanted could learn to be an MT from their next door neighbor, that doesn't mean that's the way it is today. I think too many MTs are just afraid of competition from well-trained MTs, who with a good education and a couple of years' experience will be better MTs than they ever will. I have seen MTs claim to have 20+ years' experience, and they make ridiculous errors and don't even care - "That's they way I've always done it!" I'm talking about the way things are today, not back when anyone who could type could be an MT, and could teach anyone else to be an MT.
