From an MTSOs persective

In Reply to: AIM mentoring program - anyone participated in this? - GotTheTShirt
From an MTSO's perspective -- I own a small MT company and have hired 3 of the AIM Program grads and have been VERY pleased with all three. I would highly recommend this program and I will continue to approach the director when I am in need of additional MTs.
To clear up any misconceptions -- the AIM Program is no longer affiliated with Allstate Transcription. The AIM Program was merely started/created by a former owner of Allstate Transcription. Allstate Transcription is no longer in business -- and from what I understand, Superior Global Solutions acquired Allstate Transcription back in November. (If you notice, Allstate no longer has the "now hiring" banners on their website -- and they have nothing on their site or on the AIM Program site that affiliates the two of them. I believe their site is going to be disabled soon.)
So....not sure how much I would worry about posts about Allstate Transcription when making my decision the AIM Program. Again, I've had nothing but positive experiences with their interns. Furthermore, the mentors and director -- both the former and the present ones -- have been nothing but professional. I've never heard any of the MTs I've hired through AIM Program referrals have anything but good things to say about them.
You are welcome to email me if you have any specific questions.

"hiring MTSOs" would mean MTSOs that are currently hiring peope. n/m
Not a list of MTSOs
just a list of transcriptionists. You can add yourself to the list at no charge. Just fill out the form.
MTSOs are sometimes more willing to hire newbies.
It could be a good way to get experience and sometimes better than a national.
Fix your resume to fit the MTSOs requirement
i.e., cardiology, acute care, etc. If they need someone with acute care for 5 years - then put it on your resume!
This is a huge list of MTSOs.
This list is huge. A lot of these seem to be small businesses. I only looked at one state, but the list was long. Not many have websites, but some of these businesses are still doing tapes and offering a wide range of services. You will therefore want to look mainly in your own State.
If they can only receive resumes by mail or fax they are not getting swamped with them, so you might have a better chance. . Happy hunting!

Hunt locally, make cold calls to local MTSOs, you can get a job that way-
I also landed a job on-line with no experience with PHNS, www.phns.com, they are a twin of Medquist though, I believe they are owned by them but am not sure, rumor, so who knows. Rules and pay stink, but GREAT for experience, when I tested for them years ago it was a joke (easist test I ever took). I still have a little ways to go (1 more year) before I can command better pay than I have now, but working on that. Just keep trying, took me 2 months to land 1 job and then 2 more landed in my lap. You have to be persistant.
This all sounds nice, but newbies have to choose MTSOs wisely and this one is not a wise choice.
me, I will explain.
