In Reply to: Career Step & Spheris - more info
You don't have to go to CS to get hired on at Spheris. You will have to pass their employment test (unless they have some kind of deal with TRS). The reason that Spheris started their program with Career Step is that the majority of CS grad new hires were unable to perform adequately in acute care positions with the education they received with the regular course materials.

Spheris will hire grads
from Career Step without even making them take an employment test. There are many other large nationals who allow grads from CS, M-Tec and especially Andrews to take their employment test, and if they pass, they are hired WITHOUT 2 years experience.
Don't call it BS if you don't know what you are talking about.
Spheris used to hire Career Step students nm

Well, at least you can see who not to hire, huh?! lol
lol
Most companies will not hire
you before completing your course unless you attend Career Step, M-Tech or Andrews. Allied is not good with helping you obtain a position, they only help with your resume and directing you towards companies that test. You can try testing with MT companies, but be aware that if you do not pass you may have to wait 6 months before retesting. Good luck.
Do they hire newbies?
What about all the "I can't get an MT job, nobody will hire me" posts?
Are all those people who are begging for work lying?
Just because some people get lucky and get jobs regardless of their training (or lack thereof) certainly doesn't mean everyone will get lucky.
New hire within a week, put no experience
I graduated from Career Step and a week later I had a job lined up as an IC. In every application I sent out, I made sure that the employers were aware that I was just starting out. I DID NOT say that I had 2 years of experience. Career Step does not say to use their education as experience when applying. Many companies recognize CS as a decent school and these companies will give us a shot.
Wow!!! Great response. Would hire you myself if I could!!!!!!

Sometimes hire students before they graduate. nm

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.
Online that hire newbies
Does anyone have any resources for new 'graduates' of home study/unpaid internship training in transcription to find online companies that hire newbies to work from home? Thanks for your help! :)

ANYONE will hire grads. That's not the issue...
poster was trying to say a graduate of the top 3 is equivalent in the job market to someone with 2 years experience.
Companies that Hire Newbies
Amy there are companies that hire newbies. Network with other transcripitionists at either a yahoo or msn group,or join as many as possible. They have links in their groups of companies that hire newbies. Hope that helps.
MTSOs are sometimes more willing to hire newbies.
It could be a good way to get experience and sometimes better than a national.
I would rather hire someone with years of experience
and could care less what school they went to, than someone with no experience who came from the Big Three. Experience is valuable!
Companies that hire with satellite sm
Transolutions
Softscript
M2comsys
Scriberight
MedBazaar
MTworld
Medquist
Perisoftware
Medware
Just to name a few.
Which companies hire newbie MTs?
There are companies that will hire from the resumes and do
not post ads, so posting resume if your best bet for an at-home position. You have to be careful though as there are some companies who are not honest companies so come here and ask or research the company board. It should be much easier for you having graduated from M-Tec.
Any companies willing to hire transcriptionist

I think Axlotl does but they hire more experienced MTs
I think Axlotl does but they hire more experienced MTs only (something to shoot for in 3 years).
TRSI claims to hire you...
after graduation at their own company but that is a crock. They forget to say, "IF you pass our test" and then find a reason why you didn't pass. So they took your money and leave you without a job, which is what happened to me.
Which companies are best to hire Andrews grads
TIA
Every time I offered to hire newbies...
they told me they wanted 6-8 cents a line, some even asked for 10! I'm through with hiring new people that I have to train about every single thing in the business, from research to finding doctor's names, to software, to file transfer protocols, to long distance packages, etc. They take up all my time when I have other MT's with tons of experience who will do it for 7. Plug N Play.
Headhunters hire for big shot hot jobs...sm
not MT positions that have 100 applicants applying for 1 job. They are a pre-screening tool used for companies who need executives and don't want to wade through them but just want to interview among the cream of the crop. You'll have to break into the business the old fashioned way, I guess.
I don't pay them. Employers test our grads and hire them if they do well
I don't pay them. Employers test our grads and hire them if they do well. I appreciate the fact that they are kind enough to let our graduates test for them, but I don't give them any money. None. Zero. Zilch. Nothing. Thanks for asking so that I have the opportunity to make that very clear.
Never heard of them, probably wouldn't hire a student from them.
Best advice I can give: Invest in an education that gives a recruiter warm fuzzies, and be on top/near the top of that class.
Would you want your surgeon to graduate from a cheap university on a remote island?
But some places WILL test and hire you if they approve of your

We only hire a New Graduate with 8 months experience or more
We no longer hire new graduates right out of an MT program. We recently did away with our Apprenticeship Training Program and only hire new graduates with 8 months or more of MT experience.
Spheris
Hello, I was offered a position with them too, and I gladly accepted. We're new MTs. Its difficult finding a company that will hire you with no or very little experience. Much less, a very well known company. The pay is not that great.. but I have been testing with other companies and am not hearing a word back from them. Go for it! :)
Spheris
Does anyone know how much Spheris starts out at? One year experience.
Spheris
Has anyone had any experience working for Spheris, and if so, how would you rate your experience with them? I have been working for Focus Infomatics since October and I enjoy it, but I am looking for something a little more steady work wise. I was offered a position with Spheris, but I am used to being an independant contractor and using my own equipment. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! Nervous in IA
Try Spheris.

Have you tried Spheris?
I know they only require one year of experience, and I believe they are known for hiring newbies. I always see postings from them for jobs.
I've also heard about MediVoxx, which I believe is voice recognition editing. I heard they hire newbies, but I also heard it is difficult to hear back from them sometimes.
It took me about five months to land my first job. Don't give up! Do extensive searches on the internet for companies and test with all who will allow you to. I know it is frustrating, but it can be done.
Best of luck to you!
Spheris
Does anyone know if they provide a computer for their employee?
Also does anyone know which companies, besides MedQuist, provide a computer?
Thanks.....
not spheris
No way would I work for Spheris, nor would I recommend them to anyone else.
Ex-Spheris
I used to work there. I had no problems with them. They gave me a chance with very little experience at that time. I only left to find to find better insurance.
spheris
thank you , that is very good to know.
Spheris
Has anyone worked for Spheris before? They are ALWAYS advertising for work and I'm wondering what they are like.
Thanks :P
Spheris
My cousin got a job with Spheris right after graduating from CS. She likes them but said the pay is a bit low - though she also contributes some of that to her being a newbie.
You might want to try Spheris.
Also, check out MTDaily. They have a lot of companies on there that may be looking for part time help. Good luck.

My Company will no longer hire Career Step
This is just a heads up for what it is worth:
My employer used to intern and hire Career Step grads, but no more. They just were not ready and we had far too many newbies quit almost right away.
Hope I don't pop someone's bubble, but I'd think this might be prevalent with other companies too.
I'm told that Career Step's transcription typing classes are too weak. Also, too much isolating study that bores the students and results in inadequate skills.
Career Step may be trying to achieve too much with their "server format" when it comes to actual typing.
Question about Spheris
I was wondering if anyone has worked for this company, and what are they like? I have been offered a position there and was curious to know if this is a good company?
And Spheris is definitely hiring because they sent me
a postcard in the mail. I've never worked there before, but they want me to apply there. I haven't heard good things about their software in the past, so I doubt I've ever applied with them.
