What is a mentor and how do I find one? What exactly do they do and will they help me find a permanent position? I am struggling trying to find a job.

mentors
I found my 2 mentors on this board. Just wait and see, some kindhearted mentor will come along. In the meantime, keep on practicing and try testing/applying as you wait. Who knows you might not need one if you get a job.
If you think the mentors are bad
try the idiots they've got assigning the work to you once you've suffered through the "training" and have to meet that 1,000 line a day quota. Practically unbearable!
Finding mentors
Where can you find mentors? I would thinks that those people that have gone through this would understand and want to become mentors for the newbies.

Mentoring and mentors
Hi. In the past I mentored several new medical transcriptionsists. I loved it. They basically came off the street for the job, a couple had "technical college" training. They were poorly prepared for live dictation. One eventually went on to have her own business and I worked for her when she had overflow!
A mentor can do a lot to help someone along, but also the get-up-and-go must be present in the student.
Mentoring is awfully important. It is rare to work within a large facility and not have someone who can lend an ear from time to time.
Currently I have a friend who from time to time calls and asks me to listen to difficult dictations.
Points of a good mentor: Honestly encourages. Shares tools unselfishly. If I had extra references or older books that could be let go, well that was just another way of getting that person into the success bracket.
Honesty: If, over a period of time, a person is not cutting it as a Transcriptionist they most certainly need to know that. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
Heartland mentors are the worst around...
very rude and unorganized. I highly do not recommend them.
Editing, Voice Recognition, Mentors
I need some information please. Can someone fill me in on Editing, Voice Recognition (I know what it is but don't know how about it in terms of a transcriptionist's duties), and also, can you find someone to mentor you to become a Transcriptionist and how would you find such a person?
Why are companies telling people they are hired but they need to wait in line for available mentors.
from their company. How long should someone wait? Is it even worth taking the test?
