Hi everyone,

  I am in the process of completing my medical transcription education and would like to know if anyone knows of any companies that are hiring entry level medical Transcriptionist at this time. I really need to find employment immediately so if anyone has any information I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Glenn

Hello Everyone,

Can anyone tell me how I can an Entry Level MT job.  I have a AA degree in MT but have never been able to find an entry level position to utilize my degree.  Please tell me what all of you did in order to get into this field.  I can't ever find a job that without that 1yr exp.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Everyone,

I received my AA in MT and I have never been able to find a job in this field, every position I have come across says you must have atleast 1yr exp.  How did everyone get past that to find a job?  Please help me I would like to utilize my degree.

Thanks for you help.

Do you want to work from home?  If you can't find anything locally, try doing an internet search for some of the national MT companies.  You can always test with them and if you pass their test, you will have no problem getting a job.

If your education was not adequate, you can always try M-Tec or Andrews.  They have excellent placement rates for their graduates.

I just recently completed all of my course work for my AAS in Medical Transcription, graduation isn't until May, and I am having a really hard time finding entry level work.  I was just wondering if anyone had any tips that they found to be successful.  I have posted my resume on a few sites, I have been submitting resumes to every company I can, I have even been able to apply to quite a few, but still I keep being told that I do not have the experience required and to keep looking for a company with an internship/mentoring program, and I can not find any that I do not have to pay for myself.

I do understand that patience is needed, especially when first starting out, I was just hoping for a little direction and a little venting.

Thanks--Christina

If any new MTs are looking for employment.  Sten-Tel, Inc. has an externship program that hires new graduates.  Go to their website and type in the word "careers" in the search engine and it well tell you about the externship program.

I graduated in June of 2005 and got hired on with Sten-Tel October of 2005.

Send me a post if you would like more info.

Hi,

I'm looking into MT programs, and am looking for feedback from graduates of either CAI, or Medtranscription.com 

Would like to know about your experiences with these places! Thanks! Laura

I'm looking at the MT Advantage Career Center.  I would like to hear from anyone who has taken their course.  I'd like to know how successful their students are at obtaining jobs after completing the course.

Thanks Much!

Some companies have you work on their platform.  Word is required sometimes, but not 2007.  You're best bet is Word 2003, which is compliant with most MT platforms.

As far as convincing your husband, don't expect to make a whole lot in the first probably 2 years at least.  This business takes a lot to get up to speed.  Nothing lucrative until your probably 5 years in, and that's definitely not working part-time.  You'll probably need to work at least one full-time job and a part-time to make any great money in this business unless you get your own accounts.  If you get your own accounts through local physicians, then you're looking at being a contractor, which means no insurance help.

Good luck with whatever you decide!   

I graduated from Career Step program and looking for a second shift position.  Does anybody work for a company that is currently hiring graduates?  Thanks for any responses! 

are usually able to get jobs without 2 years of experience that is normally required.  Is if worth it?  Do you have small children, a husband, do you want a social life - then no it isn't worth it.  If you just want to do this PT, in addition to a FT job, it might be okay for a short time, but it gets harder and harder to make a living as an MT.  A lot of companies use offshore MTs, they get the good work and the crap gets left for us, or it all goes and we get stuck editing it for pennies and you end up working for minimum wage.  You'll also burn out in a short time trying to do both. 

if there is just you and you don't care to have a life then it would be okay and if you have a knack for it you can make some decent money.  If you are a respiratory tech in a hospital talk to people in your department.  Maybe you can start out doing work-related transcription without having to go to school and you can get a small taste of what it is like to see if you really want to pursue it.
