Good luck with your job search!!! 

I have looked at many MT forums on the web and have seen the same things over and over about the frustrations of the job search for New Graduates. In response to these messages and posts, I have put together a comprehensive Essential Tips Guidebook which features useful information to assist with the job search. At Focus Infomatics we are starting to hand these guidebooks out to anyone struggling to find a position that applies to one of our jobs. This guidebook contains helpful topics such as: a background of what to expect in the search, lists of companies and websites to find jobs, MT forums and groups to network, putting together a resume, interview techniques, earning and wage estimates and much much more. I am confident this guidebook will help and anyone who would like a copy, can email or call me and we will email it right out. There is no costs or obligations of any kind for this guidebook, only to let us know if it did in fact help you.

We hope this will assist anyone searching for a new position!

thanks

Anyone who graduated from M-Tec--

Do they actually help with the job search or just provide the list of partners they work with on the website?  When I first graduated from M-Tec., I went through the list of partners, applied to several, and had been called back and offered jobs at all.  I stupidly took a job with a company that I can honestly say I hate so far (and have only worked for 2 weeks there) and can't see it getting much better in the near future. 

I remember getting an e-mail from someone--Kathy, Susan, Karen...can't remember who it was now because my entire e-mail account was wiped out and I lost that e-mail--but whoever it was told me that if I was having trouble finding a job to let them know and they would help out.  I went through the list again, reapplied to many of the companies, applied to several that I had not seen before, and have not heard from any of them now! 

I don't know if a lot of companies are just not hiring right now or what is going on.  Nothing has changed about me and before I was getting calls and e-mail daily offering me positions.  Should have taken one of those instead of holding out for this crappy one.   Oh, and I think the issue is also that I only want to work about 15-20 hours a week and a lot of companies are FT only.

If they help other than providing a list, could someone tell me who I need to contact since I can't find the information anymore?  Thanks!

Hello! I'm a new grad and have been on the job hunt for nearly a  month. Are there any resource that I could purchase to help find a place willing to hire a new grad?

Thanks

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.

Could someone please explain the major differences between acute care basic 4 and multispecialty clinic transcription?   It seems that the job ads usually specify which one and how much experience is needed with each of these categories, but I am curious to know the differences and why someone with several years of multispecialty clinic experience may not do well with acute care hospital transcription.

TIA for any info provided!

Sorry to hear of your troubles! 

There are two main schools, Andrews School and Career Step.  If you graduate from one of these schools, then you will likely find employment quickly.  They cost more, but you get what you pay for!  You will have to test with individual companies to get hired, but that should not be a problem with the proper training.  There are plenty of companies that hire at-home workers, so that will not be a problem either.

Don't quote me on this, but I think Career Step qualifies for Pell grants so if you go through voc rehab be sure to check that out.  Good luck to you.
