Do you know what I think is really funny? When newbies (me)ask where we can find a job that hires new graduates and we are told to check the job seeker's board! Have you checked it lately?? 2-5 years experience and NEW GRADUATES need not apply! How do we get experience? with pay??
job seekers board
I am sorry but to me that is a load of you know what!! I worked just as hard as anyone and I am sick of hearing how I should of went to Andrews or M-tech whatever!!! I worked my butt off for along time and I would just like a chance to prove what I have learned! who cares what school I went to? Sometimes it has to do with the student don't you think?
There's a job on the seekers board for new MTs.
New MTs looking may want to apply. I'm not a newbie, but will never forget how I started out.
Have you checked out the job seekers board? nm

Then tell me what the appropriate board is please

Please search the New MT board. There

don't believe all that you read on this board.
I have worked for Medquist for a few years, and I think they are a great company to work for. There have been a few bumps in the road, but they hear the MT's and are trying to correct them. The pay is good, and the platform is excellent.
There is info further down this board regarding CS.
Ask on the word board.
I'm new to this board (maybe 2 weeks).
Sometimes I just read the posts to see who is the meanest. EvaEv - you win!
This is not the appropriate board to post this. You
need to post your resume on the job seeker's board - look to the left.
This isn't the word board and it isn't a very
active board. Ask your question on the word board if you can't find your answer by googling.

NEVER work for free to get your foot in the door. No company worth working for will require that. You may have a hard time getting that first job -- but think enough of yourself, your qualities, your training to expect a fair wage for services performed. I started 30 years ago in the office with 2 podiatric surgeons. Thought i'd never use most of the terminology i learned: wrong! Start whereever you can, it may not be at home, but the upside to that is that you may have a stronger foundation and less stress when you do bring your job home. Good luck!
There were two jobs on the Job Seeker's board
over the weekend that were looking for typists and general transcriptionists. Try one of them as a starting point. I don't know anything about either of those companies, but I started out doing general transcription while I was still in school. I worked for emediamillworks/FDCH, an insurance company and a small MTSO in New England doing work comp reports until I got hired to work at home by our local hospital.
Just proceed with caution. Don't go buying a bunch of equipment or paying anybody for a job. I wouldn't invest in anything except MS Word and a footpedal (can be bought on Ebay). You can download Express Scribe for free to play the sound files on your computer with the footpedal.

oops....sorry....wrong board

Check the "company" board
or do a search.
Look at the job seeker's board..apply everywhere
Regardless of what it says for experience, request to test for them. If you are good and pass the test, you may be given an opportunity. This is what I did 4 years ago. I got the job as an IC, and then not too longer after added another, and then another. I just kept replying to job ads and requesting to test. I passed the tests and was offered the jobs. Most of the time, I wasn't even asked about my experience. The proof is in the pudding. If you can do good work, are reliable, and are flexible in when you're willing to work, you can find something. You just need to get out there and start replying to ads.
Check out the Job Seeker's board here.
I saw a couple of ads that mentioned newbies could apply.

Gee, I was under the impression that this board WAS for professional MTs!

Look on the company board for the post.
Titled Ascend...beware.
MANY people? I saw one! What board are you reading?

There is a thread about them on the company board.
You should probably check it out.
Check the classified on this board -
Someone may have a used one for sale. No, the wav pedal will play on a program such as realplayer

Please stop yelling at everyone on the board. SM
You'll not find too much support if you yell (all caps) or are new and just come here to point fingers at everyone.
Please remember that all caps is the equivalent of yelling and it just won't go over well here.

Why would you ask this question on the New MT/Student Board? nm
??
If you ask on the company board you're more likely
to get your question answered. This company has been asked about many times in the past and you can do an archive search too.
Go down a few inches on the Company board. Being

There was a post last week for psychiatry account.
From the sounds of the gripes on this board anyone
on the side. There are newbies who have completed a course that are not very good at transcription. I would say try ordering some sample work or see if anyone has anything that you could try out. This way you can tell if you like it or not. I wish you all of the best. You have just as much of a chance as anyone else in this profession. 
Check the company board -sm
I've seen talk on there of several companies that hire new grads.
I actually got hired at MQ right out of school - but it was a much different company then. I worked there for 3-1/2 years and bailed when the first signs of sinking occured. 
I honestly only have experience with them and the company I'm currently at - and I don't think my current one hires new grads. Check out the company board though and I'm sure you'll find a company that will make you much happier than MQ could.
Check the company board. These same
questions have been asked multiple times the past couple of weeks. I didn't see anything good about them.
There is a thread on the Main Board
There is also a lot of info if you search for AIM or Allstate.
Actually, the MTStars resume board seems as appropriate ...(sm)
I just went over there and tried to access the resumes, and you have to pay (a nice fee, too) in order to access any personal information other than your name, your experience, your general location (which I'm sure you can leave as just "Colorado" or whatever), and your desired line rate. No address, phone number, or any other contact information is available without paying the fee ($50 is the lowest), so someone would have to REALLY want that information in order to get it. This makes it no different than the MTJobs site.
Ask on the company board. You're likely to get
more response there.
Please use the Word board for this in the future.
Thanks.
You can check the classified board here. I buy
mine direct from Stedman's. You can check Amazon too.
You should post this on the company board.
nm
Look on the company board. I've never
heard of them, but there are some posts about them on the company board.
Don't do it! Do a search on the New MT board for recommended programs. nm
n
Search this board for 'schools' and a few will be mentioned. nm
