Entry Level Jobs

Do you want to work from home?  If you can't find anything locally, try doing an internet search for some of the national MT companies.  You can always test with them and if you pass their test, you will have no problem getting a job.

If your education was not adequate, you can always try M-Tec or Andrews.  They have excellent placement rates for their graduates.

Hello Everyone,

I received my AA in MT and I have never been able to find a job in this field, every position I have come across says you must have atleast 1yr exp.  How did everyone get past that to find a job?  Please help me I would like to utilize my degree.

Thanks for you help.

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

Can anyone tell me how I can an Entry Level MT job.  I have a AA degree in MT but have never been able to find an entry level position to utilize my degree.  Please tell me what all of you did in order to get into this field.  I can't ever find a job that without that 1yr exp.

Thank you for your help.

I just recently completed all of my course work for my AAS in Medical Transcription, graduation isn't until May, and I am having a really hard time finding entry level work.  I was just wondering if anyone had any tips that they found to be successful.  I have posted my resume on a few sites, I have been submitting resumes to every company I can, I have even been able to apply to quite a few, but still I keep being told that I do not have the experience required and to keep looking for a company with an internship/mentoring program, and I can not find any that I do not have to pay for myself.

I do understand that patience is needed, especially when first starting out, I was just hoping for a little direction and a little venting.

Thanks--Christina

I have been trying unsuccessfully to e-mail AAMT.  I am interested in knowing why someone with prior experience cannot take an abbreviated course rather than the full course like M-Tec and Andrews provide.  Of course, my experience is old, but I have basically kept abreast of what is going on in the MT world.  All of the schools seem to want to give complete courses.  In other words, everyone is treated like a beginner.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I still haven't finished the course.  However, I have managed to get two great IC jobs paying 9 and 10 cpl for acute care while still taking the course.   I love doing acute care.  I think Career Step is excellent.:o) I'm sure the other schools are excellent too, but CS is the one I chose. 

I love this board.  I will use this in the future if I am stumped.  I am done with school, involved in more training BUT now I need a JOB!! Does any one have a good job lead for me doing transcription?  I was laid off at my waitressing job Tuesday for the winter! YIKES!

Seems to me if you have extensive experience you should be able to find a job.

Alicia,

I completely understand what you are saying.  You said NOTHING about pay and just want a job.  Just ignore the nasty attitudes.  People like that obviously have nothing better to do than to get their BP pumped over petty things.  As for your question, I found out through my own experience when looking that sometimes even if they say 1-2 years experience, some will still allow you to test.  Quite a few companies were willing to test me even though they stated they wanted experience.  I say apply to everybody that requires 2 years or less.  Worst that can happen is they say no. 

Here's a tidbit on the ladies who have a hard time keeping the peace, next time you go "off" on somebody, you may want to stop and think about it.  She could be the neighbor that made sure you had a few hot meals after the loss of a loved one.  You can easily say what needs to be said without being catty, leave that to the tweens!

God bless and Happy Holidays! 

I know exactly what you are going through.  Even after being an MT for almost 3 years give or take a few months, it can still be hard to get a foot in the door.  Keep checking this site for openings and call around to the hospitals and clinics to see what service the use.  Each time you test, you are getting a tad more experience in your belt...

Good Luck and keep trying!!!
