 Entry-Level MTs
 
 Hello to all! 
 Can anyone give any advice on where I may be able to go and find an entry-level MT position?  I greatly appreciate all the responses I hope to receive.  Thanks all! Entry Level MT's
 MedQuist hires entry levels with good testing scores. Fax them your resume. Its worth a try. Good luck

 I would use the search function in the glossary viewer and edit the entry...if you edit it, it should work fine. Or, you can just make a new entry with the same sentence
 
 HTH!
 Entry level MT's
 Hello.................I know all of you are tired of hearing about how hard it is to find a job at entry level.  I have two certificates from two separate programs.  I have been working for a clinic here where I live part time typing clinic notes.  It is only about two hours per day.  I found a lady on this site who said she would hire anybody if she could find somebody willing to work.  I emailed her and she promised to get me started asap.  That was a few months before Christmas and she still hasn't contacted me.  Does anybody know how to get started as entry level.  I truly need the work.  My part time is paying well but two hours a day is not very much.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.................
   entry level
 It is very true, I graduated college in 2004 and I am still looking to find a company that will hire me at the entry level.
 We are more than data entry BUT...
 Yes, they will still need us to copyedit and clean up the voice recognition and offshore "crude" product, but from what I've read on these boards, there's not going to be much money in this for MTs.
 
 I too am thinking of leaving MT for another field. This summer my 15-year-old son got his first summer job as basically an unskilled laborer at minimum wage, and he was making quite a bit more per hour as I ended up getting, turning an Indy 500 ESL's mishmash into a perfect operative report. The day I learned that, I decided to start rethinking my career choices.
 
 By the way, I'm one more experienced MT who finds it mind-boggling that people are still out there debating the merits of the various MT schools out there. Wake up and smell the coffee, people!
 data entry
 I agree. But don't you know, there's always someone lurking in front of their keybord waiting to belittle someone else's from-the-heart question??

 Help with setting new entry in VPN
 I need some expertise... I have VPN for a company on desktop set up, need to create a new entry for another company.. .is that possible?  I have the file in the right folder (PCF or something close to that file) and did the wizard, but it says no valid ID when I know it is... what am I doing wrong?
 It is an entry position.
 I wouldn't consider it a crap job.  It is an entry position.  There is not a lot of stress unless you work in ICU. If someone codes then the unit clerk has to take notes while the patient is being worked on (at least where I worked). Other than that I enjoyed it. A lot of paper work, keeping the charts in order, answering phones, that type of stuff.
 Entry-level position
 
 Hi, I received my MT diploma in August of 2004 from The Career Development Institute.  My average grade was 97%.  I was very excited about finding an MT position but soon discovered that I was in a catch-22 situation.  I had the training and medical terminology education but no experience.  Every advertisement that I found required at least two years of working experience.  Is there any advice anyone could give me to get my foot in the door?  How do MT's begin working when they are new to the field? 
 Any info. would be greatly appreciated! 
 Thanks, Jane L. Creppel Entry-level Position
 Thanks so much! I appreciate the info.

 Data Entry Jobs
 
 Does anyone know where I can find information about legitamit companies that hire for data entry work at home. Looking for my daughter, who wants to stay home with her small child.  Thanks! Is it transcribing or data entry?

 Might have to do Ctrl + K and then Alt + B and your entry, then turn off.

 set up a separate entry for that with all caps.  that's what I do.

 Entry Level Jobs
 
 Hi everyone! I have a quick question for anyone who has the time to answer. I am looking in to a career in the MT field. I have not started classes yet but I am going to check them out next week. I did a search for MT companies in my area. I noticed that on alot of their websites you had to have so many years experience before you could gain employment with them. If I decide to take classes in medical transcription, how likely is it that I will be able to find employment with someone on an entry level? I have heard from some people that it is nearly impossible to get a job without the experience even if you have certification. Is this true? Shorthand users.  Can you tell me how to set up an entry for...sm
 today's date and yesterday's date so it will expand correctly?  TIA
 Data entry position
 My post did show so I will ask again...does anyone know where I can find a listing of jobs for data entry positions?
 Add the nonbreaking hyphen in your entry.  sm
 Add the nonbreaking space for your other entries.
 
 In MS Word, the shortcuts are:  Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen and Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar
 I'd keep the habit but change the IT entry
 so that it comes out the way you want it - make it adjust to your habits.
 Flyingfingers, when you add or edit an entry...SM
 there's a box on the bottom left called "Tags." At the end of your entry where you don't want a space, open that and insert "No Space."
 certainly not data entry  or typing,
 my reward, aside from pay, is satisfaction that i am doing a very specialized job in an excellent manner. after 34 years, it seems more tedious and difficult, but i enjoy the work.
 Pay Rate For Entry Level MT
 
 Could someone give me an idea as to what an acceptable pay per line rate would be for an entry level position? 
 Is there any advice you can give a gal just starting out? 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
 Have a great day!

 Medical transcription isn't data entry, but you can
 check with Career Builder and Monster and see what they have, you can Google for it and see if there is a board like this for data entry.
 You need to tick the formatted option just above your entry.  nm

 You need to use the command feature of IT when you make your entry  sm
 Copy and insert your text into a new IT entry.  Now go back thru the entry and each time you want a field to be placed,  you have to hit the "command" button on the bottom left of the window.  Then hit CTRL+F9 to create a world field (this will make the little bracket thingies when it spits out in Word).  When you're all done, hit OK and there you go!
 Is there a space or a hard return at the end of your entry?  sm
 that's the only thing I can thing of that would cause this.  In the "text to expand" box, hit ctrl+end and this will take you to the very end of your expansion.  Maybe there's a space or something there that you can't see.
 
 I know you've been having a lot of trouble with this lately!  Good luck!
 Add the Ctrl + B commands at the beginning and end of entry.
 You click the command button in the Add window.  The manual has more instructions.
 Make an autocorrect entry of bid that expands to b.i.d.
 tid to t.i.d., etc.  That's what I do, it works for me.
 AND - QA could not enter!  Gee, thanks MQ.

 How do you enter to win?
 And where do we see the prizes?  Thanks
 In IT, a paragraph is always in entry screen (from Wordpad).  How do I get rid of this 4ever?

 ENTRY LEVEL TRANSCRIPTIONIST NEEDS PRN WORK FOR EXPERIENCE
 
 Hello, 
 My name is Diana Strand and I am an entry level medical Transcriptionist seeking any kind of PRN work or internship, or mentoring program available. I wish to get experience to be able to attain a permanent job. Any comments would be helpful. Thank you very much.

 i enter the first 4 letters...sm
 Every time I come to a drug I enter the first four letters of the drug in Autocorrect, capping it if needed.  I think this is quicker than sitting down and entering a bunch at once.
 You can only enter one time
 for each giveaway, but if you have already won a prize you cannot enter anymore.  That is what that means.  You can absolutely enter for each prize, but in order for others to have a chance to win, you shouldn't enter if you have already won.
 had to manually enter the big
 anything that you save as a (I think it's called) SmartBlock (saves directly into a Word document), you have to move manually.  I only had about 20-30 of those, so I just did a cut and paste from the Word document directly into Shorthand.  I had to change some of the commands (like how to bold or indent).  You actually have to set those commands manually in Shorthand.  It's a bit confusing on those issues at first, but once you catch on to it, you can do, say, 5 a day, and it won't take too long.
 That is what I was thinking, enter those
 into autocorrect and you will never do it wrong again. I have a lot of words in there that are mistakes I usually make and it just corrects it for me. Good luck!
 You don't have to hit the enter key for ths to happen.
 It sounds like you highlighted the phrase and you also captured the end of paragraph mark (that was probably hidden), which will make the entry go down a line.  Do it again and make sure you are only highlighting the words.
 Ctrl+Enter
 
 Well poop, I thought it was 1 entry per giveaway. Wasn't clear. nm

 I guess she would have to start at the data entry site since this place is about MT.
