Companies that Hire Newbies
Amy there are companies that hire newbies. Network with other transcripitionists at either a yahoo or msn group,or join as many as possible. They have links in their groups of companies that hire newbies. Hope that helps.
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.
THIS link's even better!

Try this link
They hire newbies, heck, they hire warm bodies that have at least 35 wpm typing skills with no med terminology or MT experience. Lots of the employees are in nursing school or _going to apply_ to nursing school. Don't expect to be able to live off what they pay but it is a good place to stay for a year or so to get some experience and move on to something better. It is in-house only. Most of it is editing voice recognition and the rest is regular transcription.
Link
I was actually interviewed there several years ago when I had very little transcription experience. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I was not hired. It was probably for the best anyway.

We are suppose to be using Notes Link. I have never used it before so I am not sure how....sm
friendly it is.
Andrews link is wrong
The link that you posted for Andrews takes me to a site called Career Step. Are they the same? According to what I looked up they are not. Why is the link going to the wrong site????
Thanks
Researching a wrong link
Being able to research is very important for an MT. It is never too early to begin. Try to find the Andrews website yourself by entering various keywords. On this site you can also do research. A lot of information about the top 3 schools can be found here. If you still have questions after gathering information, then you can approach the schools directly. Also go to the AHDI website where you will find information about schools. After doing all the above, then come back and ask specific questions so that we can give you specific answers. Being an MT is a hard job and constant learning.
pls read hipaa link supplied above and.....sm
read the AAMT BOS....but bottom line, that poster Suzanne was right about one thing.....it's the client's wishes that count......you can only inform the MDs of the new changes in HIPAA and BOS but you cannot make them do anything they do not want to do...

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.

Lordy, a dozen reasons to not hire a PDCI grad!
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!
