seeking a transcription job i can do from home.  don't have the medical, just general.  anybody know where i should begin? 

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of good interships that I could get into. I am a new MT and would like to get my feet wet and I'm not sure where to get started. Any kind of mentoring program, internship, or apprenticeship would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi.  We are currently offering a few internships to recent graduates.  You need to live in the West Cobb/Atlanta area.  These internships are not initially paid positions but will lead to a job for qualified transcriptionists.  You can reach me at Jennifer@transcribeatl.com for consideration. 

Does anyone know a school that requires an external internship?  Our training department is looking for some interns that would possibly result in jobs. 

Thanks,

Jen

This message is for Jen.  Would you please email me any information you have about VR internships or internships in general.  I am very interested in MT and need some help.  Thank you very much.

For the above post from Mary, I forgot to give you my email address: mbphilly2003@yahoo.com.  Thanks.

are there any good newbie MT mentoring programs out there? or internships?

thanks

I have been trying unsuccessfully to e-mail AAMT.  I am interested in knowing why someone with prior experience cannot take an abbreviated course rather than the full course like M-Tec and Andrews provide.  Of course, my experience is old, but I have basically kept abreast of what is going on in the MT world.  All of the schools seem to want to give complete courses.  In other words, everyone is treated like a beginner.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I still haven't finished the course.  However, I have managed to get two great IC jobs paying 9 and 10 cpl for acute care while still taking the course.   I love doing acute care.  I think Career Step is excellent.:o) I'm sure the other schools are excellent too, but CS is the one I chose. 

I love this board.  I will use this in the future if I am stumped.  I am done with school, involved in more training BUT now I need a JOB!! Does any one have a good job lead for me doing transcription?  I was laid off at my waitressing job Tuesday for the winter! YIKES!

Seems to me if you have extensive experience you should be able to find a job.

Alicia,

I completely understand what you are saying.  You said NOTHING about pay and just want a job.  Just ignore the nasty attitudes.  People like that obviously have nothing better to do than to get their BP pumped over petty things.  As for your question, I found out through my own experience when looking that sometimes even if they say 1-2 years experience, some will still allow you to test.  Quite a few companies were willing to test me even though they stated they wanted experience.  I say apply to everybody that requires 2 years or less.  Worst that can happen is they say no. 

Here's a tidbit on the ladies who have a hard time keeping the peace, next time you go "off" on somebody, you may want to stop and think about it.  She could be the neighbor that made sure you had a few hot meals after the loss of a loved one.  You can easily say what needs to be said without being catty, leave that to the tweens!

God bless and Happy Holidays! 

I know exactly what you are going through.  Even after being an MT for almost 3 years give or take a few months, it can still be hard to get a foot in the door.  Keep checking this site for openings and call around to the hospitals and clinics to see what service the use.  Each time you test, you are getting a tad more experience in your belt...

Good Luck and keep trying!!!
