You might, but better off locally.

I started with a terminology course and a transcription course from the local community college. I got my first job 2 months before I finished the classes, but it was overflow work from a local doctor's office. I don't think many nationals will hire before graduation unless you're in a few certain schools.
Take whatever work you can get, because the experience will help you land your next job. And test with whatever companies will let you.
Good luck to you!

Keep sending out resumes via internet and locally -
There is nothing that can make up for your lack of experience. You can just hope someone decides to give you a chance. However, where I work we would rather hire someone right out of school who has gone to one of the Big Three than someone from another school with years of transcribing under their belt. Good luck to you.
Should probably try to apprentice locally if you're in need of fast

Hunt locally, make cold calls to local MTSOs, you can get a job that way-
I also landed a job on-line with no experience with PHNS, www.phns.com, they are a twin of Medquist though, I believe they are owned by them but am not sure, rumor, so who knows. Rules and pay stink, but GREAT for experience, when I tested for them years ago it was a joke (easist test I ever took). I still have a little ways to go (1 more year) before I can command better pay than I have now, but working on that. Just keep trying, took me 2 months to land 1 job and then 2 more landed in my lap. You have to be persistant.
