however you can SAVE documents in 97-2003 format.  97-2003 uses .doc, 2007 uses .docx.

When you save your document, go to save as ... then as a word 97-2003 document.

That's how I found my first at home MT job.  Of course, I came with years of hospital and doctors office experience.  I started with one company then moved to another with higher pay. 

Also, do a Google search, just type in "medical transcription jobs". 

You may want to try Medquist - www.medquist.com.  I'm not sure if they're hiring folks with no experience but from some of the word help questions I've seen, I get the impression they might be.  If they hire you, it would be at tier I, which is just clinic notes.and around 7 CPL. 

Don't give up!  You went through the training.  Also, consider sending resumes to doctors' offices.  That's the easiest transcription to do - I've always had the charts with me when I've done their transcription so if there's something you're not sure about, you can go thru the chart.  Say you're willing to cover their MT's vacation.  It will get your foot in the door.

Good luck to you!

There are 3 schools listed here and it shows their prices and their web addies and stuff like that.

Below is a link to an Internship program for MT's

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.

Speaking for myself....it's always nice to have another MT to bounce things off of when I'm stuck on something.  I can't say enough positive things about this site.  It's amazing at all the helpful people on here willing to help someone else.

Can any of you that have been at this for a long period of time answer me this question?  When you first started out...did you feel overwhelmed?  How long does it take a person to really see if this is something they'll be good at?  I find myself getting headaches really easy and only after a few hours of typing.  I feel fatigued.  Is it normal to feel this way in the beginning and what suggestions do you have to help?  When do you feel that things are finally settling down and you start to move along at a normal pace? I'll give it a few months I guess...I'd think at that point I would have a pretty good idea if this is something I'm going to be productive at or not.

Sorry for all the questions.....I guess I am feeling uneasy and was hoping for some reassurance or words of wisdom from none other than another MT.
