Looking for MT job postings online is probably the quickest way to find out who is hiring. Most local newspapers are also now online. Don't forget about networking with your graduate peers!
I think timing plays a huge role in getting that first MT job. Find out who is hiring and apply on a daily basis! Job hunting is a full-time job that pays off in a huge way!

Same here, daily or every day. nm

Daily workloads
What is the average number of reports that are generated in a day? Please let me know if you work part time or full time and how long each report may take to type and proof? Thanks for your input-
Should be changed to daily. SM
The reason that item is probably in the test is to see if you have any knowledge of the JCAHO standards. The "q.d." abbreviation is specifically prohibited.
daily line quota
If the going cpl seems to be .06
I read that 2500 lines a week is expected for full time.
1500 lines a week for part time.
$.06 x 2500 lines a week = $150.00 This seems like very low pay.
It seems like low pay even if you multiply by $.08 cpl.
Did I calculated it right?
What is the daily line quota for a new grad?
After 1 yr experience?
3 yr experience?
5 yr experience?

Definitely check Word board(s) daily to see what you don't know. And you need your AAMT BOS II

should I apply anyway?
When companies say they are looking for experienced MTs only, should I apply with no experience but a grad of one of the top MT schools?
Apply and see what happens (sm)
If you've done the SUM tapes, you've done them. Either you picked up what you were supposed to pick up, or you didn't. Try getting one of the self-assessment tapes from the AAMT testing program (they're retired tests), if they still have them. If you can do it and it looks pretty much like the transcript key when you are done, you've probably learned what you needed to learn. Try to get a service to test you.
If you cannot pass a national service test, and you cannot find a job with a local employer, then you would want to take a course.
Apply, apply, apply to everything...sm
unless the ad specifically says no new grads. I applied to everyting advertising for two years or less. You will be surprised at how many companies will offer you to test with them. I did not go to one of the big three schools and was still able to get a lot of decent offers. You have to have the confidence in your skills to go after the job! While you are applying and waiting, keep practicing so you are always on top of your skills. Read the ads carefully--if they only specify two years of experience and nothing about being new then apply to them! You should get offers to test with them and then let them see your skills! Good luck to you!!!
APPLY EVERYWHERE!
The work is out there. Go to the Job Seeker's Board and apply for everything that you qualify for. I even applied for some that said 1 year exerience and on my application how much I wanted the job in a one liner. I got hired by one of them because they let me due 2 live files. Just keep your eyes open; it only took me 2 weeks to get a job because I applied to lots of places.
GOOD LUCK!
Apply to everything! sm
I applied to everything wanting two years or under, unless the ad specifically stated "no newbies". The more you apply to the more companies will give you a chance. Once they send you a test that is where you can shine and get hired. A newbie can get hired..you just have to have the skills and persistence. Good luck!!!
must have 2 yrs to apply with MQ
nm
Don't apply if you don't want it.

yes, you can still apply
Spheris and Career Step have a partnership where you can start out at a higher than entry level position; however, you can still apply for a full-time job regardless of where you received your training. GOOD LUCK!!!
Apply anyway.
I am a new MT and I recently applied at my local hospital. I had an interview/test this past week. Even though they stated experience required, they are willing to consider new MTs if they don't get enough qualified candidates.
Apply, apply , apply everywhere and anywhere - sm,
you can that is my advice. It took me about 2 months to land a job 6 years ago, I applied my butt off too. I also made cold calls to local companies and landed a very small PT job that way (my first job), then 2 others on-line shortly followed, all were PT so I worked all 3, gave me very valuable experience in a very short amount of time. Just keep plugging away, determination is a big part of landing that first job. Do not take any job that you have to pay for either (other than leasing a computer), lots of scams out there. Good luck.
I wish I could apply
I am looking for pretty much the same thing. I just completed my course work for my degree and now am looking for work, but with no experience other than school and my externship it almost seems hopeless. I have visited over 60 sites and either applied, submitted resume, or been kicked out because I do not have the desired amount of experience. I am trying to be patient but I really need to start working. My ideal is to work from home, because my husband works a lot of weird hours and my son is on 18-months-old, but I have even started applying in my local area. If you know of anywhere I could look, or any tips that I could try I would appreciate it.

Read - think i can tell you where to apply.SM
Hi - Go and apply at RIUnlimited - they hire new people - they do pay for spaces - they will pay you 6 cents a line which is low but it is a good place to start - i started there when i got out of school - they will hire you - Good Luck to you!
her point was if you don't like the offer, don't apply...nm

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.
Apply everywhere. All they can do is say "yes" or "no".

Apply for clinic positions & then ask if any GE/GI is available. Otherwise, you get hit with a

Not using W2007, but same basics should apply...

Hope this helps.
Ignore the two-year clause and apply anyhow!
If you let that hold you back, you will never find work. There are plenty of new grads working and getting hired everyday. If you wimp out, you'll get nothing.
don't apply for any jobs on this board either Shae, you don't know who THEY are either -
I'm all for being cautious but I guess if you can't send your resume to one poster here, you can't send it to another. I mean, ANYBODY can post on the boards...including Job Seeker's Board. 
Or use their Apply Now button from their ad on page 3 of Job Seekers,
s
so give us contact info so we can apply
I would appreciate the contact info to apply. I am a new grad and having a very hard time finding a company that will even consider a new grad. and I am very discouraged.
since you already have a little experience, go apply at a hospital. They have benefits, mentoring,
etc. In a few years time, you'll be on your way to really cleaning up.
Apply for child care assistance and put the kids in daycare.
You can't juggle all that. Either that or have the father watch his own kids for a while so you can work.
Is your internship paid? Can you stay with it and get experienced and apply for an at-home job

best MT online course
CanScribe - they provide you with books and supplies, as well as programming and guarantee you a job at the end of it. Agencies know that a graduate of CanScribe is worth a chance.
online vs local job
Where I live the local votech school has a very high placement rate and if I wanted to work in house, I would start by taking their MT course. My local school's course is far from complete though, and there is no way a national company would hire me with just that course and no experience.
I have no idea what the local employers would think about an online program. We're kind of in the sticks and they really rely on the local tech school to pump out grads that can do the work the local companies need them to do. Its practically tailored to the needs of the local economy.
I'm going with an online program because I want to be sure I can gain employment, and I want thorough training.
Not sure how much this helps.
my experience in online MT course
Hello everyone,
Just thought the information on my website will be helpful and/or interesting to anyone who is thinking of trying medical transcription cource.
it's here
http://www.volkovs.com/family/julia/default.aspx?p=mt
Considering that most colleges are going online
this advice doesn't hold water. It doesn't make any difference what format the program takes.
Can someone tell me what the online schools
Career Step, M-Tech, Andrews - I have a family member who is interested in getting her daughter directed on a career path (she's 18). I'm not so sure MT is for her, but I'd like to at least give her some basic info. So, how much do these programs cost and how long do they take?
 Thanks!
I took their online test on 8/21 and just
heard back from them yesterday. The lady I talked to there told me that she is really behind on contacting people. When did you apply with them?
help for finding right online course
I have tried to get info on online courses and it is very hard, since i have no other MT friend to talk to. I was told to take courses from Ashworth(formerly PCDI) Does anyone know about this one? Seems like everywhere i turn, Career Step is always the most talked about. I realise they all have pros and cons but someone please help!!! Want to do at home training online. Had a year experience of part-time transcribing and did fine. Barely told what to do, but completed it anyway. I've had EXPERIENCE THE HARD WAY by doing this. Thanks
online quizzes
It's important to keep studying and practicing right up until you land the job you studied and worked so hard for. Time away from your studies will nevertheless, leave some cobwebs in your mental attic.
I've started to assemble some online quizzes (free) so students can keep learning. It's so new in fact, I have one done. lol But I intend to put some more out there if the response is good. I need a beginner and one who will test this out with me and for me. It would be nice for the others if we can get this in the right direction.
visit: www.gotranscribe.com and click on MT Learning Studio for instructions.
I'd appreciate it and so would some of the others if it works as I think it could.

I don't know if this would help or not. I think they would be your best bet at finding your answer 100%.
online testing
at focusinfomatics.com They have online testing specifically for new people, and if you do well enough they will invite you into their training program.
You can always order it online....

MT Online Schools
I am looking for an online school for MT. Forgive my ignorance about this. I have no clue where to start.
Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.
Online MT schools??
Hi.
I just signed up for Allied MT School. Have any of you graduated from there, and did you like it? Also, did you have any problem getting a job after graduating? I am a bit discouraged with some of the negative reviews.
Thank you.
Online Externship
I am a transcription student looking for an online company that offers an externship. I have to complete an externship in order to graduate, but need to do so online, and am having trouble finding an online company that would be willing to take me in. I have searched for transcription companies,but have not found any that advertise any externship opportunities. Are there any companies offering online externships?
Online Course suggestion
Hi,
Can you please suggest me online MT course which is not expensive.
Thanks & Regards
online test
Don't feel bad - I've done transcription for over 25 years, had a CMT for 15 of those years... took an online test with MRC (Medical Records Corporation). I did the test, waited for two whole weeks... they never got back to me until I asked them what the hel_ was going on and they told me I failed the test - would someone explain that to me? My audit score for the company that I am currently working for, is 97-98........ 
online tests
I also took the Medquist exam after they sent me an email requesting that I take it. I felt very confident that I did well but was told I did not pass. They said to take it again in three months, which is now.... and now I have no confidence at all to do it.
CS online training
Hey all you MTs. My wife started the classes with CS about a month and a half ago, and I will say we were really nervous about it at first also...The staff is really professional, and they have a very competitive rate for their schooling. WHat I WILL say is this:
Online schooling for any career choice is daunting. I went to Law school online, and it SINKS when you have a question to ask and nobody to ask in person. It is also very easy to ignore the schoolbooks and just watch tv or sleep in.
As with anything, its all about what you put into it. Career Step has gotten a lot of rave reviews from alumni, so I wouldnt worry about how good of a school it is. You should be more cautious about the MT employers out there lately!
