Then please share how newbies get work every day SM
I never said "impossible." I said it was "very hard." And it is. How many times have we seen people saying "I'm a newbie and can't find a job because everybody wants experience" just on this board? How many "Who will hire newbies?" posts are there and "How can I get experience if no one hires without experience?"
If you have useful information on how newbies get hired "every day," please share it for those like Teresa instead of posting a one-line rebuttal with no real information.
Just glanced here for a second, and thought I'd share ...
When I first started, I thought I knew a lot from what I learned in school. They never tell you that it'll be 1000 times harder than your courses. It's tough to jump into the "real" and find out how different it really is.
I used to QA, and I can't speak for anyone but myself, but anything I EVER corrected was NOT a personal slight. And while I knew it was rough for the newbies to get constant feedback, I hoped they understood that I wasn't doing it to make them feel bad - I was doing it to uphold quality that I was responsible for.
I know it's tough, but try to look at all of the "nitpicking" as an opportunity to be a better transcriptionist. The harder they are on you now, the faster you'll become a solid, fantastic transcriptionist. The more you can be thankful for the feedback, rather than let it get you down, the less feedback you'll need to receive in the future.
Good luck! I know you'll get there. This is the hardest part, and you're already partway through it.
MxSecure, any information on this company that you would like to share...
or anyone working there?
wanted to share something from my 15+ years experience....
When I first started out, I graduated from a business college. Nine months, five days a week, four hours a day of schooling. When I finished top of my class I thought I was ready. I struggled to find a job; not too much outsourcing back then. I begged a medical records director to hire me on, and he did. I literally was not ready for what was to come. Luckily I was mentored by a lady who knew it all. She was great. After six years at the hospital, I broke away and started with my own accounts. I have raised four children (youngest in kindergarden). I have been a team mom for baseball, board of director member for local little league, and never missed a school function. This has been an awesome profession for me. Some days are better than others as far as pay is concerned, but on average I am pulling $200 a day....not bad.
There is a book out there that might be of help to you new graduates. It is called The Medical Phrase Book. That book helped me very much. The other thing that really works is using a telephone book A-Z to jot down new meds and words you learn.
Good luck to all of you.
