Do they hire newbies?
Online that hire newbies
Does anyone have any resources for new 'graduates' of home study/unpaid internship training in transcription to find online companies that hire newbies to work from home? Thanks for your help! :)
MTSOs are sometimes more willing to hire newbies.
It could be a good way to get experience and sometimes better than a national.
Most companies will not hire
you before completing your course unless you attend Career Step, M-Tech or Andrews. Allied is not good with helping you obtain a position, they only help with your resume and directing you towards companies that test. You can try testing with MT companies, but be aware that if you do not pass you may have to wait 6 months before retesting. Good luck.
Every time I offered to hire newbies...
they told me they wanted 6-8 cents a line, some even asked for 10! I'm through with hiring new people that I have to train about every single thing in the business, from research to finding doctor's names, to software, to file transfer protocols, to long distance packages, etc. They take up all my time when I have other MT's with tons of experience who will do it for 7. Plug N Play.
Companies that hire with satellite sm
Transolutions
Softscript
M2comsys
Scriberight
MedBazaar
MTworld
Medquist
Perisoftware
Medware
Just to name a few.
Which companies hire newbie MTs?
There are companies that will hire from the resumes and do
not post ads, so posting resume if your best bet for an at-home position. You have to be careful though as there are some companies who are not honest companies so come here and ask or research the company board. It should be much easier for you having graduated from M-Tec.
Any companies willing to hire transcriptionist

Search for comments, but I don't think they'll hire newbies. nm

Which companies are best to hire Andrews grads
TIA
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).
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.
Well, at least you can see who not to hire, huh?! lol
lol
Yes, Spheris will hire you...
You don't have to go to CS to get hired on at Spheris. You will have to pass their employment test (unless they have some kind of deal with TRS). The reason that Spheris started their program with Career Step is that the majority of CS grad new hires were unable to perform adequately in acute care positions with the education they received with the regular course materials.
What about all the "I can't get an MT job, nobody will hire me" posts?
Are all those people who are begging for work lying?
Just because some people get lucky and get jobs regardless of their training (or lack thereof) certainly doesn't mean everyone will get lucky.
New hire within a week, put no experience
I graduated from Career Step and a week later I had a job lined up as an IC. In every application I sent out, I made sure that the employers were aware that I was just starting out. I DID NOT say that I had 2 years of experience. Career Step does not say to use their education as experience when applying. Many companies recognize CS as a decent school and these companies will give us a shot.
Wow!!! Great response. Would hire you myself if I could!!!!!!

Sometimes hire students before they graduate. nm

Employers will hire new graduates of
well-regarded MT schools, schools such as Andrews, M-Tec, and Career Step. Unfortunately, PCDI has a very poor reputation among MT employers, so it might be that that is causing the problem rather than lack of experience since many well-known MT employers will waive the two-year experience requirement for graduates of schools that are known to turn out job-ready MTs (Andrews, M-Tec, and Career Step). You might have better luck with a local doctor's office or clinic that does only one specialty. If you continue to have difficulty finding work, you might want to consider supplementing whatever training you got throught PCDI with a course from one of the "Big Three". Their graduates generally have several job offers upon graduation, plus those schools provide placement advice and assistance to their graduates.

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.
I would rather hire someone with years of experience
and could care less what school they went to, than someone with no experience who came from the Big Three. Experience is valuable!
I think Axlotl does but they hire more experienced MTs
I think Axlotl does but they hire more experienced MTs only (something to shoot for in 3 years).
TRSI claims to hire you...
after graduation at their own company but that is a crock. They forget to say, "IF you pass our test" and then find a reason why you didn't pass. So they took your money and leave you without a job, which is what happened to me.
Headhunters hire for big shot hot jobs...sm
not MT positions that have 100 applicants applying for 1 job. They are a pre-screening tool used for companies who need executives and don't want to wade through them but just want to interview among the cream of the crop. You'll have to break into the business the old fashioned way, I guess.
I don't pay them. Employers test our grads and hire them if they do well
I don't pay them. Employers test our grads and hire them if they do well. I appreciate the fact that they are kind enough to let our graduates test for them, but I don't give them any money. None. Zero. Zilch. Nothing. Thanks for asking so that I have the opportunity to make that very clear.
Never heard of them, probably wouldn't hire a student from them.
Best advice I can give: Invest in an education that gives a recruiter warm fuzzies, and be on top/near the top of that class.
Would you want your surgeon to graduate from a cheap university on a remote island?
But some places WILL test and hire you if they approve of your

We only hire a New Graduate with 8 months experience or more
We no longer hire new graduates right out of an MT program. We recently did away with our Apprenticeship Training Program and only hire new graduates with 8 months or more of MT experience.
and how about menter? Oh, yeah, let's hire her today!**snort** nm

Spheris used to hire Career Step students nm

Medquist does not own Career Step, but I think they hire CS grads. nm

My Company will no longer hire Career Step
This is just a heads up for what it is worth:
My employer used to intern and hire Career Step grads, but no more. They just were not ready and we had far too many newbies quit almost right away.
Hope I don't pop someone's bubble, but I'd think this might be prevalent with other companies too.
I'm told that Career Step's transcription typing classes are too weak. Also, too much isolating study that bores the students and results in inadequate skills.
Career Step may be trying to achieve too much with their "server format" when it comes to actual typing.
Would the place that interned you hire you? Local out of house experience would

Hi Sarah,
It can be very discouraging and frustrating. Not to burst your bubble, but it may be very difficult to start off working at home if A) you did not go to one of the "big" schools and B)you have no experience. A lot of the schools will have partnerships with MT companies so they can plug you right in to work; I know Andrews school, MTEC, Career Step, VLC...those schools can offer assistance with employment. Unfortunately, it's a little tougher through community college! I know it's not what you want to hear, but working at a small office or even in a hospital setting would be key to starting to work at home. You will have to put in some time outside of home to get some practice before a company might allow you to test and work for them at home. Not saying it's not possible to work at home right out of school...just difficult.
newbies
I absolutely agree with CMT. I also graduated from a local school and was blessed to be hired by a local company (2 weeks after graduation) who hires newbies on occasion. Although, many companies did allow me to test for them. I would suggest going the office route for now and try to work something out with your employer maybe after a few months' time. Send your resume to everybody. There are new jobs everyday. It is time consuming and frustrating but you will get something. Stay positive.
Newbies, etc.
If there are any newbies or wanna be's out there who would really like help getting going and are willing to put in the time and effort, I can help. The pay will be minimal to start, but with LOTS of hard work, you can raise that fast. There are two must-haves before I will take you on. If you answer yes to both questions, you will be on your way to learning. Please e-mail me to see if we can work together. I am in Illinois.
MT Newbies
I just wanted to say something on a positive note.
There has been a lot of talk about being a MT newbie, following directions and resumes, etc... I am a newbie myself. I am still in school; however, I sent out some resumes and I received several job offers. I am employed now and I can tell you that one of the reasons that my MTSO was interested in me was because I followed their directions. My resume was short, but I tested well and I got the job. My advice to all newbies is to take your time while submitting your resumes and follow their requests. You could get a call too.
So, to all the newbies (including myself), keep your heads up and keep on plugging away. There are companies out there that are good.
Keep Smiling!

contact transcriptionmatchmaker.com and maybe they can place a newbie - I've sent a lot of students to that website and they have been placed.

I worked at a hospital and had no help. I was the only trancriptionist for 12 doctors. I applied for the job having no idea what it consisted of, was given two weeks--and a the end of the two weeks, the hospital administrator would tell me if he thought I could do this type work -- and also, I would tell him if I felt I could or could not do the job. I fell in love with the challenge and worked there (between three maternity leaves) approximately 7-8 years. I kept the medical dictionary close by. I must have done all right since all of the doctors seemed to like my work. But, there was no one to help with the terminology, etc.
NEWBIES
Does anyone know of any companies who hire newbies? Thanks!!

I have been at this for a over a year now and still consider myself a newbie. best bet is to find a local account and get some experience and hopefully, you may find someone that is impressed with you and want to help you. as far as just getting an account on line, it would be pretty hard, first of all to find a job, but most of all, it would be hard on you when you are home alone. take the time to learn, school teaches you some stuff, but you really learn through experience.
newbies
Hi,
I replied to you via email, subject "pay for newbies".
Cindi
I wish the newbies would come here and ask or
otherwise investigate schools to get the real scoop before wasting their money and then coming here complaining they can't get a job.
newbies
Unfortunately this is usually the rule of thumb, no experience, no job. Especially in this field, it is usually not open to training newbies straight out of school from home. I would highly recommend you finding a hospital/clinic to get at least 6 months training in ahead of applying for any job to be worked at home. Been there, and sure was happy to go home to work, lots less stressful than working with a bunch of nagging women, although I have to say, I do have plenty of nagging women with All Type Inc., the company I currently work for. They love to send IM's and E-mails to harrass the employees, and I have learned to just laugh to myself about it!
