Nevermind, I found it in the archives. nm

If you search the archives...
You will also find that many of their students DID pass employment tests and DID find employment.  It is all up to the individual.  I have said this before, and I will say it again... There are many MTs who never even went through MT school.  After you find your first job (I suggest searching for an in-house, local position first), stick with it for 2 years if you can.  At that point, employers more than likely will not even ask what school you attended.  They will see that you have on-the-job experience.  Again, it is up to YOU to decide whether your career in MT will be successful or not.
You can search the archives for info
The one I found said it was a reputable company.  You can Google, too.
It would behoove you to search the archives on this subject
I think you would find that it is VERY difficult to break into this field and MT jobs are declining. Unless you have someone guaranteeing you can learn on the job with them, with only some medical terminology and transcription training, I certainly wouldn't count on it. People say lots of things. Especially when there is no way to confirm the accuracy of their statements.
Search the company board and the archives for info. nm
s
Check the archives
I recommend you go to the MQ board - they have their own, you know - and read the archives. You have to punch an "e time clock" and work exactly your schedule. Seems they frequently run out of work, and have to make up that time from their personal time. However, they may be more likely to hire a newbie than another national. Happy reading!
There is some info in the archives.

Chekc the archives on the company board. Not
much posted about them recently, but not much good posted about them.  I certainly wouldn't recommend them. 
have you found anything yet?
Do you know someone in the industry with experience that can help you out. Maybe they can have you type and they can QA your work and train you at the same time? That would be in a perfect world I guess, but it was just a thought. I graduated from a business college 15 years ago and was fortunate enough to be hired on as a trainee in a hospital. best thing that ever happened for my career. Where are you located?
I found a new one

Looks like it is just starting but I don't know if I can post it

not from either and found job

I also did not go to Andrews, M-Tec, or CareerStep.  I got a job before I graduated.  I attended a school many called a matchstick or matchbook school.  However, I did not only study what was given to me.  I studied extra and typed way more than was required. 


While I think that if someone has the money they should go to one of the bigger schools, it does not mean that if you did not go to them you wont get a job.


Hard work and perserverance get you a job.


Graduates, has anyone found
that M-Tec's curriculum was superior to Career Step? Also, for M-Tec grads, were you able to repeat a section (if you tested poorly) until you got it right, and improved? Was there a limit on how many times you could re-test on any given area (I'm thinking of my weaker areas that might need extra time.)
TIA! :) -Anne
I would not advise it. You would be found out.

Newbie found a job

I wrote last week about what a hard time I was having finding a job. I appreciate everyone's advice. The best advice I got was "persistence pays off".


I found out how to find that out.
It look like I am getting about 80 words a line. But as my line count per hour increasese, wouldn't I be better off because even the one word and partial lines count as a sentence? It doesn't seem like it would be that bad of pay. But, of course, I am a newbie and do not know the ropes yet.
Something cool I found...

Hi guys,


I don't know if this will help anyone or not, but I thought I'd post it anyway since it helped me.  It's laboratory reference ranges.  It's like 6 pages long.  You can print it out.  I don't know if you can paste addresses anymore, but you can Google it, or you can e-mail me, and I will send you the address.


Everyone on the forum has been so much help to me, I hope that this will help someone else.


newbie found job
I have only been out of school for one month.  I found a job withing days.  I found a website that list 137 companies.  I applied to all of them (which sounds like a lot), but I got 13 requests to test.  10% responses is NOT BAD with ZERO experience.  I went with the first company that contacted me because I liked what they had to offer.  If you email me, I can email you the list of companies.  You may some luck with them.
I found this info... don't know if it could help

Also found something else of interest
When I clicked on their "Jobs" link, there's a link there under "latest news" that says: "World Direct Partners with Sten-Tel, Inc." The link, however, when clicked directs to the home page, which is empty.
I found another job lead

Once again, I did not check this site out. I have been reading the posts on this site. I feel bad because I found a job as a recent graduate. Maybe I can help someone. Just never give up! Here is the other job lead:


Rider and Associates are looking for entry level MTs.  Please take their test.

I found a job after about a month of searching
I have read the threads with so many negative comments about Softscript, but they do hire new grads.


transcribers can be found on ebay
I got mine there, including shipping was around $40, and works like a charm!!! Looks brand new. ebay is my answer for darn near everything ... just pay close attention to descriptors and negative feedbacks (if any)
Glad you found it helpful! :) NM

I just Googled them and found their website
Found their website at www.lartechinc.com. Looks a little sketchy to me. Funky wording and a section on India operations. Looks like an Indian-run company. I would definitely stay away.
not everything works for the every person, but what i have found.....
I started out many years ago working for a few doctor's offices (neurosurgeon, infectious disease, oncologist, urologist) in the same building. I would pick up tapes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and deliver work those same days. I worked seven days a week back then (probably still do). After years of doing and the cost of gas skyrocketing, I realized it would be more beneficial for me to work for a service (either independent contractor or employee). I signed on with a national company (MedQuist). I know there are a lot of people out there who are not happy with MQ, but I am. My accounts are good, so I can make a good line count. The only problem is that my accounts are so good that there are many MT's working on them, and I tend to run out of work early in the day. I have signed on with an additional company to fill the void in my day.

I think I saw somewhere that MQ was hiring MT's with little or no experience. If that is the case, I would consider MQ or another national to get started.

I don't know anything about the benefits offered, as I rely on my husband for that.

Good luck.
Nevermind found what I needed for free!

I have found that avid readers make much better
decisions in regards to their grammar and the way they apply it.  If you are an avid reader, then you can learn the traits of authors and writers.  Maybe that is something one should ask when interviewing a new MT.  Do you like to read books?  On the other hand, seasoned MTs have learned from dictators that are great with grammar.  I was fortunate in that regard.  I have come across some beautiful dictators.  Working on-site helps.  The MD/DO is available to guide you in transcribing the report and to answer questions.  Some things though are just understood in this profession, which makes it tough for new grads.  Exposure on-site is the best "medicine"!  Keep up the good work and encouraging words.  It is nice to know there are others out there who still care about producing a professional document and not just the "cents per line" and how much can be produced in an hour.      
All those answers will be found in these very pages discussed

I found this nextag site: price 5.99 to 44.50:

(Here's the page I came off of to get to the "prices" URL: http://www.nextag.com/microsoft-word-2003/search-html . It has various MS Word 2003 packages. You might check it out also.)
I found the info by googling. Get used to researching,

You can do a search on...

the Better Business Bureau or Google them.  That's what I have done in the past.


Good luck with your job search!!! 



What do I search for?
I've searched for people looking for independent contractors, but they are generally companies. I'm wondering if there are searches that others have done for a doctor looking for an independent contractor and not just companies and I'm wondering if anyone else has had success in doing so, anywhere on the internet and not just here?
Do a Search!
This subject is broached EVERY DAY (along with "I can't find a job....help!").  Do a search, you'll find plenty of information.  Research is one of the top things MTs have to excel in to be any good.
Search
If you type the company name into the Google search box on the main page and click the Search MtStars, you will get a bunch of posts that have the name of that company in them.  You can also search the company boards.
search
There is search box right above all the posts.  If you type in your school name, it should archive all the posts about that school. :)
How goes the search?
It's tough, but you'll find something. I got a spot with Medquist a year ago. I also worked for Sten-Tel for a while as an IC. Not too bad, mostly VR there, and they treated me well, but I didn't want to be an IC. Needed insurance.
Maybe we can help with the 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!

Thank you Judy. I go to mtjobs everyday, but I have never been to the other one you're suggesting. I'll try it out.
I've hired from that school before and have found CAIs SM
graduates to be severely undertrained with lack of basic skills. I've hired several of their graduates and none of them worked out. That's how I know it's not a quality school.
I always found the tests more difficult than actual work (sm)
I think they try you out on their most difficult to see how you do. It also may be the stress of taking a test too. I tested with anyone who would let me test, and I failed a lot of them, but just keep trying. Persistence does pay off. It sounds like you have a great start and you should probably stay where you are to get the experience. Yes, it will count. Best of luck to you!
Ooops! Nevermind So. I found the answer from the posts below. Thanks. :-)

Found a company that is willing to give new MT graduates a chance

Hello,


A company called World Direct Transcription Services, called me yesterday. And she asked me a couple of questions, and then asked me if i would take 2 tests. I said yes of course! One test is a terms test, other is a typing test, also she wanted me to go to a certain website and take a speed typing test too. I will let everyone know today if i get hired.

I did a search on Google for
entertainment transcription and several companies came up.  Most of them are based in California and require that you live withing 30 minutes driving distance from the location of the transcription company.  See www.transcripts.net, also see www.indeed.com, there are similar jobs posted on this site.
Do a THOROUGH search on this site.....
Especially in March, May, and July of this year.
Please search the New MT board. There
:)

Do a search on Focus...sm
You will be interviewed by US employees, tested by US employees, and be working with off-shore employees with heavy accents both spoken and written.  I wouldn't work for them.  You make your own choice after searching the archives.
M-Tec grad. Do they actually help you with the job search?

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!


New Grad Job Search
Ive been reading this forum for days and everyday I get more and more discouraged.  Today I found a post about PCDI, which is the school I attend.  I feel confident in the education I am receiving.  They send me emails outlining any mistakes I may have made, and I truly am learning from my mistakes with their help.  I've begun the job hunt and am not having much luck.  Everytime I come across another company, I check them here and almost all of them seem to be 'bad compaies'.  Are there ANY good companies to work for?  I've read the archives and have seen all the bad things about all the companies.  But being a newbie and in need of experience, would be such a terrible thing to gain that experience from a "bad"  company?  I don't want to set myself up for failure, but I deperately need some experience.  I have noticed Trans am hires newbies.  I have read all the negative comments about them.  But being in need of experience, isnt experience from a not-so-good company be better than no experience? Help please!!!
