should I apply anyway?
When companies say they are looking for experienced MTs only, should I apply with no experience but a grad of one of the top MT schools?
Apply and see what happens (sm)
If you've done the SUM tapes, you've done them. Either you picked up what you were supposed to pick up, or you didn't. Try getting one of the self-assessment tapes from the AAMT testing program (they're retired tests), if they still have them. If you can do it and it looks pretty much like the transcript key when you are done, you've probably learned what you needed to learn. Try to get a service to test you.
If you cannot pass a national service test, and you cannot find a job with a local employer, then you would want to take a course.
Apply, apply, apply to everything...sm
unless the ad specifically says no new grads. I applied to everyting advertising for two years or less. You will be surprised at how many companies will offer you to test with them. I did not go to one of the big three schools and was still able to get a lot of decent offers. You have to have the confidence in your skills to go after the job! While you are applying and waiting, keep practicing so you are always on top of your skills. Read the ads carefully--if they only specify two years of experience and nothing about being new then apply to them! You should get offers to test with them and then let them see your skills! Good luck to you!!!
APPLY EVERYWHERE!
The work is out there. Go to the Job Seeker's Board and apply for everything that you qualify for. I even applied for some that said 1 year exerience and on my application how much I wanted the job in a one liner. I got hired by one of them because they let me due 2 live files. Just keep your eyes open; it only took me 2 weeks to get a job because I applied to lots of places.
GOOD LUCK!
Apply to everything! sm
I applied to everything wanting two years or under, unless the ad specifically stated "no newbies". The more you apply to the more companies will give you a chance. Once they send you a test that is where you can shine and get hired. A newbie can get hired..you just have to have the skills and persistence. Good luck!!!
Don't apply if you don't want it.

yes, you can still apply
Spheris and Career Step have a partnership where you can start out at a higher than entry level position; however, you can still apply for a full-time job regardless of where you received your training. GOOD LUCK!!!
Apply anyway.
I am a new MT and I recently applied at my local hospital. I had an interview/test this past week. Even though they stated experience required, they are willing to consider new MTs if they don't get enough qualified candidates.
Apply, apply , apply everywhere and anywhere - sm,
you can that is my advice. It took me about 2 months to land a job 6 years ago, I applied my butt off too. I also made cold calls to local companies and landed a very small PT job that way (my first job), then 2 others on-line shortly followed, all were PT so I worked all 3, gave me very valuable experience in a very short amount of time. Just keep plugging away, determination is a big part of landing that first job. Do not take any job that you have to pay for either (other than leasing a computer), lots of scams out there. Good luck.
I wish I could apply
I am looking for pretty much the same thing. I just completed my course work for my degree and now am looking for work, but with no experience other than school and my externship it almost seems hopeless. I have visited over 60 sites and either applied, submitted resume, or been kicked out because I do not have the desired amount of experience. I am trying to be patient but I really need to start working. My ideal is to work from home, because my husband works a lot of weird hours and my son is on 18-months-old, but I have even started applying in my local area. If you know of anywhere I could look, or any tips that I could try I would appreciate it.

Read - think i can tell you where to apply.SM
Hi - Go and apply at RIUnlimited - they hire new people - they do pay for spaces - they will pay you 6 cents a line which is low but it is a good place to start - i started there when i got out of school - they will hire you - Good Luck to you!
her point was if you don't like the offer, don't apply...nm

Look at the job seeker's board..apply everywhere
Regardless of what it says for experience, request to test for them. If you are good and pass the test, you may be given an opportunity. This is what I did 4 years ago. I got the job as an IC, and then not too longer after added another, and then another. I just kept replying to job ads and requesting to test. I passed the tests and was offered the jobs. Most of the time, I wasn't even asked about my experience. The proof is in the pudding. If you can do good work, are reliable, and are flexible in when you're willing to work, you can find something. You just need to get out there and start replying to ads.
Apply everywhere. All they can do is say "yes" or "no".

Apply for clinic positions & then ask if any GE/GI is available. Otherwise, you get hit with a

Hope this helps.
Look online and apply daily! sm...
Looking for MT job postings online is probably the quickest way to find out who is hiring. Most local newspapers are also now online. Don't forget about networking with your graduate peers!
I think timing plays a huge role in getting that first MT job. Find out who is hiring and apply on a daily basis! Job hunting is a full-time job that pays off in a huge way!
Ignore the two-year clause and apply anyhow!
If you let that hold you back, you will never find work. There are plenty of new grads working and getting hired everyday. If you wimp out, you'll get nothing.
don't apply for any jobs on this board either Shae, you don't know who THEY are either -
I'm all for being cautious but I guess if you can't send your resume to one poster here, you can't send it to another. I mean, ANYBODY can post on the boards...including Job Seeker's Board. 
Or use their Apply Now button from their ad on page 3 of Job Seekers,
s
so give us contact info so we can apply
I would appreciate the contact info to apply. I am a new grad and having a very hard time finding a company that will even consider a new grad. and I am very discouraged.
since you already have a little experience, go apply at a hospital. They have benefits, mentoring,
etc. In a few years time, you'll be on your way to really cleaning up.
Apply for child care assistance and put the kids in daycare.
You can't juggle all that. Either that or have the father watch his own kids for a while so you can work.
Is your internship paid? Can you stay with it and get experienced and apply for an at-home job
