I wanted to add something,  Sometimes it helps to have someone to call if you just cannot figure something out.  I have someone and you should too.  I feel very strongly about having someone to talk to about this job.  It can be very isolating, working at home and I was getting upset that I had no one to call or bounce stuff off of.  Since I had a mentor/friend, my production has gone from 50 lines an hour to consistently 150-200 lines an hour.  She tought me how to use my ShortHand efficiently and helped me with my  resume and how to use my books and online tools quickly and efficiently.  I was not the best student, but went to a very good school.  Later.

Hello,

I'm trying to help a friend who started a P/T medical transcribing job from home.  She's been getting rather frustrated of late because she can't seem to get her quality scored up.  She has been isolated from anyone within her company with the exception of her QA people that she turns the reports into.  She says she spends a massive amount of time proofreading her reports and correcting any mistakes she makes.  The issue is that the QA people always seem to find new mistakes to ding her for.

Does anyone have any useful advice they could give her?  Is this sort of growing pains period standard for the industry?  Part of the problem is they only gave her a limited reference guide to use for proofreading.  Is there any way to get more comprehensive guides?  Lastly, what is the best way to find out a company's reputation?  I would prefer to find out that sort of information without potentially getting her in trouble.

Thank you for any assistance.  It is greatly appreciated.

from their graduates who have found jobs.  You may want to do a quick search.

I work for a company who is presently looking at starting at MT program with an internship and then a job offer when over.  I would like your responses in what could have made your program better or if you feel there was anything bad about it and what that was.  If you would like to respond, please email or feel free of course to post here.  At this time, I am not able to provide the company name that is starting this program, but I can tell you we are going to be working to make it the best possible, and with your help be able to offer a better program to future MT students.  Thanks in advance!

If any new MTs are looking for employment.  Sten-Tel, Inc. has an externship program that hires new graduates.  Go to their website and type in the word "careers" in the search engine and it well tell you about the externship program.

I graduated in June of 2005 and got hired on with Sten-Tel October of 2005.

Send me a post if you would like more info.

has a screw loose. 

Some companies have you work on their platform.  Word is required sometimes, but not 2007.  You're best bet is Word 2003, which is compliant with most MT platforms.

As far as convincing your husband, don't expect to make a whole lot in the first probably 2 years at least.  This business takes a lot to get up to speed.  Nothing lucrative until your probably 5 years in, and that's definitely not working part-time.  You'll probably need to work at least one full-time job and a part-time to make any great money in this business unless you get your own accounts.  If you get your own accounts through local physicians, then you're looking at being a contractor, which means no insurance help.

Good luck with whatever you decide!   

Hi!  I graduated from AHP last July.  I found a job before graduating.  In my opnion, I feel getting a job depends 50% on the course and 50% on the individual.  I have been working for 1 year now and at times had 2 jobs at once.  I had a hard time getting people to let me test, and I believe that is where the challenge is if you take the AHP course.  When companies sees an Andrews or M-Tech graduate they won't hesitate to let them test.  Good luck!  If you need any help just let me know!   

Hello All,

 I am a newly graduate from a Technical College in Little Rock, AR. I am seeking part-time employment from an online company that provides the equipment necessary. I am also willing to take a pay decrease or even volunteer work for the experience in exchange. Does anyone know of a company whom I may contact? Serious replies or employers only please.

and the course only seems to have a bad rep on these boards.  Everytime I have ever posted about them, it has been pulled. The moderate has denied this, but it's true.  I don't know why it is looked down upon, except that it isn't one of the "big 3".  It is a reasonably-priced, in-depth course and I learned a lot and was contacted the day after I graduated by a national company to test.  I am still working for them. 

Hi Everyone.

I just completed a Medical Transcription and Billing course, and I was wondering how to get a job when everyone wants 3+ years experience.  Does anyone have a company they can suggest to me that works with recent graduates???

Thanks so much for your help!!
