you look EXTREMELY unprofessional. And I will bet you $1000 cash that not one person would respond to it.
Also, when you do a professional letter, make sure you get the name of the office manager. NEVER EVER EVER address the letter Dear Doctor or Dear Office Manager. I hate being referred to as my job title. I have a name, and if someone is interested in seeking business from me, I expect them to do their homework and find out my name if I am the office manager. I have thrown out every single letter that comes to me addressed Dear Owner or To Whom It May Concern ... I am a Transcriptionist ...
nope, in the garbage. If you managed to find my address, then you can manage to find out my name. Simple as that.

Get a solid education and doors will open
Many companies waive the 2-year experience requirement for testing if you attend M-Tec or Andrews. Their schools consistently produce grads who are ready to hit the ground running. I hire those grads every chance I get. I have found those with "local community college" education sorely lacking in even the basics to be a success.
Thank you. That makes sense. nm

Makes sense
That makes sense too. One of my places to go to relax is the library. I love walking around larger libraries and just thumbing through books that look interesting. I used to like reading all of the back issues of nursing magazines in my college's medical library.
I really appreciate your response. This is looking good for me!
Thanks, that makes sense to me

If this makes you feel any better......
On my first day, regardless of college course I had passed, it all sounded Greek to me. Learning in class and actually sitting there real time is a lot different. It helped to know that the medical records director, who was a RRT as well, hated transcription and ran as far from it as she could. Made me feel better to know that at least I was hanging in there doing it.
WHAT??? to say that if a newbie graduates from a top three, it makes
her as qualified as someone with two years experience. Puhleeze. That is simply wrong.
Of course it makes matters worse...for YOU (sm)
But it's enlightening everyone else. Of course you want to "let it rest" because now it has caught up with you. Shame on you for ripping people off. I hope you do discontinue your "business."
She makes some very good points and offers
very useful advice. Newbies would do well to pay attention. There are plenty of professional MTs, experienced and freshly minted, who will be able to understand and follow her instructions, so I doubt she'll be spending much time on her own. She has every right to expect applicants to be able to understand and follow instructions.
That makes sense. When you have hundreds of applicants though
Sometimes I've been known to look at the resumes and choose some based on the training I knew they had gone through. I've also been hesitant to even test some when they told me they had gone through a course that took three months and they had actually transcribed at least 10 reports!!! I tend to put those on the bottom of the stack. I've never had to reach that far down in the stack.
Seriously, don't you use any kind of screening or use anything you see on their resumes to decide which ones you want to test, because if you have hundreds you can't possibly test all of them!
This makes sense, good logic....nm

I think jealousy makes the unsuccessful schools say bad things about the others
If I had a really bad school that nobody liked and it had a really bad reputation, what would I do? I would claim that education doesn't matter. I would tell people that you don't need all those books and materials because you learn it all on the job anyway. I would tell people that all schools are horrible. In other words, I would try to bring everyone else down to my level. Sometimes I wonder if that isn't why we see so much negativity about schools when the graduates tell a different story. Graduates of schools that do a good job say it was worth it. Graduates of stinky schools say they wish they had done it differently. Then someone yells that all schools are bad. I think they protesteth too much.
It makes me livid to hear the line of BS these schools are handing out-
such a disservice. Why are they misrepresenting what remains of the MT field? Cha-ching!
