I have recently completed a Medical Transcription Certificate Course at a local community college (made A's in every single class including Anatomy and Physiology prior to) and even have a letter of recommendation from the Head of Centralized Transcription, which was my instructor, also. Anyway, I was really hoping to secure an at home/online job and, even with over 1 year of legal transcription/dictation and the 5 months of transcription classes, I'm wondering if I just wasted all that time, effort, energy, money, and memory for nothing. Does anybody have any suggestions? I'm tired of looking at ads, only to find out afterwards, that most at home work offers are scams and most employers on here require many years of experience and won't even give a "newbie" the time of day.

I'm getting really discouraged. I understand the importance of experience, but there are some people who actually can catch on pretty quick without a ton of experience.

Has anyone ever heard of MT Recruiters? Feedback would be appreciated, thanks
Ever heard of them? I am finding it very hard to get a job without at least a year of experience. I am also looking for work in local medical facilities....let's face it....I am looking EVERYWHERE. I may have to flip burgers until I get hired...I have a mortgage payment coming up...I'm just keeping my fingers crossed at this point...and I am not giving up!

Thanks Busy!! Tips from pros are always appreciated as I'm learning ...
and I'm sure others are glad for any helpful tidbits that're thrown our way. :)

Thanks for the input...
Maybe I will have to set up something in my bedroom or in the basement.

thanks for the input
but that doesn't help me at all.

THanks for the input BUT
I was asking if I can expect to to 900-1200 lines as a P/T IC in the future. I am working like a fiend and just want some reassurance that it is going to get less time comsuming. I see other companies with line requirements of 5000-6000 lines a week for FT and that is what I am almost doing for P/T.

Thanks for the input
I had 8 different sets of dictation that I had to do for them. Nothing else yet. Do they send a written part after evaluating your dictation/transcription?

Shawna- Congrats!!!

Thank you for the input...
if I find out any new information, I'll be sure to post it.

Thanks for your input *sm*

I have chosen to take the multispeciality tests.

Some input on the AHP issue
I am an MTSO. I hire MTs. I have learned through bitter experience that applicants who received their training through PCDI or AHP do not have sufficient skills to perform at a level I consider acceptable, so I no longer even bother to test them. It is a waste of their time and mine. I am not aware of any MTSOs in my area who look favorably on applicants "trained" by AHP or PCDI.

You will hear from a few people who say they became employed with substandard training. They were not hired by me or by anyone I know in the MT business.

Just my $0.02.

thanks for this input endiqua! nm

NEWBIES - I need some input/info
I read an article in the Baltimore Business Journal about offshoring, and without getting into too much detail about the article I would like to send a follow up article back to the Baltimore Journal.

Basically the AAMT representative stated in the article that "younger workers are not lining up to enter the profession." And that the median age for a transcriptionist is 48-50 years of age. I find this to be quite untrue, and I hope to be able to get information to back that up.

I would like to know what school program/course you attended, where you attended, and your age, and anything else you may want to add to help me with a "rebuttle" on the perks of offshoring. I have left my email address.
Thank you

Thanks all for your input! It helps alot in my decision making! nm

Can I ask how document formation will input your decision? Seems like a sideways way
