Good luck with your job search!!! 

I have looked at many MT forums on the web and have seen the same things over and over about the frustrations of the job search for New Graduates. In response to these messages and posts, I have put together a comprehensive Essential Tips Guidebook which features useful information to assist with the job search. At Focus Infomatics we are starting to hand these guidebooks out to anyone struggling to find a position that applies to one of our jobs. This guidebook contains helpful topics such as: a background of what to expect in the search, lists of companies and websites to find jobs, MT forums and groups to network, putting together a resume, interview techniques, earning and wage estimates and much much more. I am confident this guidebook will help and anyone who would like a copy, can email or call me and we will email it right out. There is no costs or obligations of any kind for this guidebook, only to let us know if it did in fact help you.

We hope this will assist anyone searching for a new position!

thanks

Good luck!

Anyone who graduated from M-Tec--

Do they actually help with the job search or just provide the list of partners they work with on the website?  When I first graduated from M-Tec., I went through the list of partners, applied to several, and had been called back and offered jobs at all.  I stupidly took a job with a company that I can honestly say I hate so far (and have only worked for 2 weeks there) and can't see it getting much better in the near future. 

I remember getting an e-mail from someone--Kathy, Susan, Karen...can't remember who it was now because my entire e-mail account was wiped out and I lost that e-mail--but whoever it was told me that if I was having trouble finding a job to let them know and they would help out.  I went through the list again, reapplied to many of the companies, applied to several that I had not seen before, and have not heard from any of them now! 

I don't know if a lot of companies are just not hiring right now or what is going on.  Nothing has changed about me and before I was getting calls and e-mail daily offering me positions.  Should have taken one of those instead of holding out for this crappy one.   Oh, and I think the issue is also that I only want to work about 15-20 hours a week and a lot of companies are FT only.

If they help other than providing a list, could someone tell me who I need to contact since I can't find the information anymore?  Thanks!

I'm an almost Newbie who has become very confused reading all the posts about good schools, bad schools, good companies, bad companies -whew - my head is turning.  This is something I have wanted for a long time.  I've gotten taken by 2 bad schools and I'm just about to finish my third attempt and this time I'm determined to work.  My problem is I can't afford to quit my current job in insurance and maybe not make enough money as an MT.  I also don't know where to start to find a reputable company to even try to get MT work.  I got into the Trans-Scam deal about 4 years ago and that had just completely discouraged me.  I thought I would never be able to be an MT.  I just didn't have what it takes.  This time I'm determined and would certainly appreciate all the feedback you all have.  I read some posts from MT's making pretty good money - but does anyone ever reveal what those good companies are?

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

and I have to say that you are really misinformed about the MT world.  To any newbie reading, her opinions on where a person should get training - she is putting out information that is simply incorrect.

The capper for me today is reading the post above this, where she is giving out her opinion on who is who in the MT world and who owns what.  It's just wrong. 

Hello! I'm a new grad and have been on the job hunt for nearly a  month. Are there any resource that I could purchase to help find a place willing to hire a new grad?

Thanks

The best schools I know of are M-Tec and Andrews.  You get what you pay for.  Their grads never have problems finding employment after graduation.  Best of luck. 

Most companies will not let you use your "school" time as experience. 

I am no expert on the hiring processes, but new MTs need more attention which costs the company more money to pay QA.  It is sad, but all new MTs get lumped together it seems.

What suggestions does the school have for you at ths point?  Unfortunately, if you did not attend Career Step, M-Tec, or Andrews, you may have to work harder to find that first break in this field. 

MT is not what it used to be.  You'd have been better off to become a biller/coder and find a job at home.

the school I graduated from that was not one of the "Big 3".  I didn't use bad language and I wasn't rude in the least, so there could be no other reason that my posts were pulled except that I mentioned my school.  And this happened 3 or 4 times, not just once.

I see now that my school actually has it's own board, which is good.

that I had to remove were made by experienced MTs and were very ugly in nature.  Nichole came here and asked for help and when she was ridiculed only then did she retaliate.  I posted a Sticky above about helping incoming new MTs and not treating them like they are trash.  I would ask all experienced MTs to please follow that advice or don't post at all.

Thank you,
