Spheris hires new graduates
Good luck!
Spheris hires entry level graduates from
at 5.5 cpl, they pay direct deposit on time, insurance not that great (large deductible) and all the usual FT benefits. Only PT benefit is 401K. My supervisor, QA people, and accounts have all been decent, 4-1/2 years into it.
Spheris hires graduates only from MTEC, Career Step, Andrews

Who hires new MTs?
Hi, I'm a new MT and also cannot find a company to hire me. I am finding that, without schooling and no job, I'm losing some of the skills I have previously learned because there is no repetition. I also cannot get hired when I do pass a test, and the college I attended did not inform anyone that we would not be able to land a job once we graduated unless we had 1-2 years of experience. I did do an externship at a hospital an hour away from where I live and I was given great reviews of the work I did there. Their budget wouldn't allow them to hire another MT, and I don't care to travel dangerous snow-covered roads in the dead of winter in rural Maine if I could have gotten a job there. I did walk away with a fantastic reference source which also doesn't seem to matter. I am also a member of a national honor society. I loved doing MT work and it is something I can see myself doing until I'm older and grayer. I am wondering if new MTs will have to wait until all the old time MTs retire before we can land a job!! I think transcription companies are losing out by not hiring new energetic ready-to-go educated MTs who take pride in this line of work! I know we all will need a little mentoring, but it will pay off in leaps and bounds for the companies who are looking for help!
Who hires new...
Yeah, but there are companies who have mentoring programs for MT Grads in which you do work from home.
who hires newbies?
I am a recent graduate from our community college and I have been looking for at-home work for a few months now. I am determined to make this work for me, but finances are running low and I am a bit discouraged. What companies hire new graduates?
Graduates, has anyone found
that M-Tec's curriculum was superior to Career Step? Also, for M-Tec grads, were you able to repeat a section (if you tested poorly) until you got it right, and improved? Was there a limit on how many times you could re-test on any given area (I'm thinking of my weaker areas that might need extra time.)
TIA! :) -Anne

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.

Would like to know about your experiences with these places! Thanks! Laura
Any MT Advantage graduates?
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!
When your doctor hires you . . .
When your doctor hires you, come back and tell us. Historically, pretty much nobody prefers AHP graduates. Few doctors have ever heard of AHP and other employers shudder at the name.
You should brush up on spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It's "prefer," not "perfer" and there should be a comma before "too."
This whole series of posts looks like advertising spam from AHP. The "I love" and short, choppy, "rah-rah" sentences give it away.
In any event, a good course would have supplied everything, so you wouldn't have had to buy extra dictation. Would have had teachers, too.
It isn't just new graduates. The job market...sm
is not what it was in MT. I guess the economy has affected it.
One of the hardest things I've done was find a job after MT school. I searched and searched. I finally just kept applying and somone gave me a chance.
Support for AHP students and graduates
I would like to get any support or encouragement from other people who have either completed the AHP course or are currently taking it. I have read so many negative comments in here about the program. I am about 3/4 through the MT course and am now getting a little worried. Please share your stories and job searches to give the rest of us some hope. If all you have is negative comments, please keep them to yourself. This is meant to be a support group. Thanks!
Employers will hire new graduates of
well-regarded MT schools, schools such as Andrews, M-Tec, and Career Step. Unfortunately, PCDI has a very poor reputation among MT employers, so it might be that that is causing the problem rather than lack of experience since many well-known MT employers will waive the two-year experience requirement for graduates of schools that are known to turn out job-ready MTs (Andrews, M-Tec, and Career Step). You might have better luck with a local doctor's office or clinic that does only one specialty. If you continue to have difficulty finding work, you might want to consider supplementing whatever training you got throught PCDI with a course from one of the "Big Three". Their graduates generally have several job offers upon graduation, plus those schools provide placement advice and assistance to their graduates.
WHAT??? to say that if a newbie graduates from a top three, it makes
her as qualified as someone with two years experience. Puhleeze. That is simply wrong.
Alltype hires newbies
If you have graduates from one of the acceptable list of schools and pass the entry test, which is very basic, they do mentor in newbies and won't insult you with 4 cpl starting pay like some of the other companies. They had a recent ad on the job board.
Just telling the truth. Many of their graduates
come here and say the same thing. Their program stinks. Any company that advertises on matchbooks and TV you really have to wonder how good they are. You never hear of M-Tec or Andrews advertising.
Medquist also hires newbies.
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! 
Your school should be able to tell you who hires their grads. -sm

Are there any companies hiring graduates?
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! 
The better schools are not having problems placing graduates
I'm asking why the community colleges can't do the same thing. Why can't they go take the approval test with AAMT and prove that they are just as good as the so-called best schools, the ones that are approved because they were able to pass that test. Maybe that would help them be able to get employers to hire their students. Can they not pass that test?
as a newbie, you need to research who hires newbies

any new graduates live in Orange County California.
From what I gather, and remember as I was in your shoes 15 years ago, to get a job is tough. Are new graduates interested in working in externship program and a more experienced transcriptionist's residence for maybe 6-7 cents per line??? I have been pondering this and would appreciate any feedback.
I've seen plenty of these graduates scrounging for work.
This board isn't the only board in town, and I've seen many of the grads from your favorite schools searching for work just like everyone else. Just because "you" haven't seen it here doesn't mean it's not happening!
Besides, these schools are mostly affiliated with nationals, which IMO, stink anyhow. I'd much rather work for a nice small private. Nationals are not the be-all and end-all by any means, and they work with just a couple of the big boys. The ones who take the biggest advantage of their employees!
Keep looking Alicia. Don't listen to the school cheerleaders.
Have a friend who is a recent graduate for MT, does anyone know of a company who hires with less
than one year's experience or has a mentoring program? TIA!
Are there companies offering 7 cents a line to new graduates? sm
This person has been offered 6 cents a line but I know the company and getting a raise will be like pulling teeth even if you do excellent work. This graduate will be doing acute care and feel like 6 cents is okay for clinic but 7 cents is more in line for acute care. This student graduated with honors from MT course.
CAI School - Any Current Students/Recent Graduates?
Hi Everyone: Have any of you ever heard of the CAI School of Medical Transcription? Any current students or graduates out there? I've been checking out their website and they seem to have a terrific program. I've searched the archives and the last posting on this school was from 2006. It got rave reviews then, just checking on the school now. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! FYI, the website address is http://www.caihometype.com
The courses worth taking are M-Tec and Andrews. Their graduates
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.
Focus hires newbies and she can probably pick her hours

Found a company that is willing to give new MT graduates a chance
Hello,
A company called World Direct Transcription Services, called me yesterday. And she asked me a couple of questions, and then asked me if i would take 2 tests. I said yes of course! One test is a terms test, other is a typing test, also she wanted me to go to a certain website and take a speed typing test too. I will let everyone know today if i get hired.

I've seen awful work from "experienced MTs and good work from new graduates
I've seen awful work from "experienced MTs and good work from new graduates.
Training and education really does make a difference. Some people just have 15 or 20 years of very bad experience. They may be fortunate that one employer was willing to hire and keep them, but if that one closed, they would be in trouble. It all depends on the person. some new graduates are a better bet then some experienced MTs. I would prefer to find an experienced MT with great skills and a teachable attitude, but many experienced MTs know everything and are only willing to do things the way they've always done them.
