If you had to put some proof to all that you just said, we'd be looking at lots of blank space where there used to be writing. In other words, balderdash! Your message lacks credibility. I hope that anyone considering doing what you recommend thinks about it very carefully and then rejects those ideas. Most of us know that we see people following advice like this crying on boards every day because they don't know how to transcribe and nobody will test or hire them.

Don't sell yourself short
I am glad you were happy with your Allstate experience, but there are companies out there that hire new grads and provide full QA and excellent feedback and training and you do not have to pay them for it; they pay you. Some even pay hourly for training and provide a good cpl afterward.

If you went to a decent school and have the basic skills, do not sell yourself short. The more graduates that accept these no-pay or low-pay positions, the more there will be of them and consequently, fewer opportunities for graduates with good educations to make a livable wage.

Looks like "resume" wants to sell you a flyer
Judging from the "email me for more info . . . resume@something.dot," Resume is going to have lots of flyers they can sell you. Or be selling some list of speech pathologists, or psychologists, all of whom are DESPERATE to pay you to do their typing, or some sort of software, or some sort of work-at-home opportunity in which you, too, will scavenge internet boards for people who need flyers and resumes, etc., etc.

This makes me wonder if this person is really an MT of they're just scavenging.

Instead of a flyer, send a professional letter with a professional-looking business card to medical, offices in your area. Use the FREE resource, the telephone book. As you will be working alone, you should aim for small offices.

Professional people respond well to professional people. Approach your clients in a professional manner. Your letter is going to be their "sample" of your work, so make it look like what they want their letters to look like.

You can work up a brochure to include with the letter, if you would like, but please don't do flyers. Don't stick anything under doors or on windshields. Use the US Mail.

Mean is the schtick the MT schools sell ya...sm
"you can make $40,000 a year working from home!" and then you pay your thousands of dollars to get out and find out no one will hire you without experience.

If no takers from this message try eBay. These sell very well there! nm
.

company is trying to sell you the software/equipment
it is a scam, not requiring the software/equipment. The company can offer payroll deduction, but an outright you must buy this from me first is a big red flag.

I meant sell the school or just her company. nm

Career Step will sell their course to anyone with the money, regardless if they will ever be capable
of doing MT work or not, regardless of how poor their command of the English language is or how poor their spelling skills are.

Didn't she sell it, or just your company to an offshore company. The woman

has a screw loose.
