I work for them was hired as a newbie in April and I absolutely LOVE them! I also know that they are hiring now as they have quite a few new accounts starting within the next week. When I started with them, they were a smaller company, but they have grown QUITE a bit. I have also NEVER been without work. HTH
why don't you share with everyone?

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.
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.


Didn't she sell it, or just your company to an offshore company. The woman

has a screw loose. 


No, the woman who owns this company can't transcribe herself, much less run a company.

Any company that charges anything to work is not a reputable company. However,
if a company offers a job and requires that you have a certain pedal and offers to provide it and then take it out of say your first paycheck or couple of paychecks, then that is acceptable.

My belief is that companies that charge you for software or anything else is trying to make money off of you.

While $11.95 isn't much, figure that amount times 10 or 20 or 100 and what do you come up with? Smells like a scam to me.
company was sold so they have no company to hire you after graduation!
They are not a reputable school and I went there so I should know. Even when they did have Trans. Relief Services they never answered my email about employment upon graduation.
Thank you for the information...nm
  
Information
Thank you soooo much for the information and helping me to make an informed decision..................:)
I don't have any information on it, but if you want to
most are CareerStep, M-TEC, and Andrews.  That doesn't mean other schools are no good, it just means that those are the most recognized in the online community.  If you want to work on site in your own city, take a course offered on site in your own city because that will be more recognized.  Hope this helps.
MT Information

Hi,


I have just read some of the responses on becoming a MT. I was wondering if anyone had more detailed information regarding how long it actually takes to get certified, cost and realistic opportunities after graduation. Are most jobs in hospitals, doctor's offices etc. or are most work-from-home? What can a new graduate expect for an annual income? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!!


-Leslie


Information regarding M-TEC
I believe that the software requirements can be found on the M-Tec website, but I have not checked lately. You need Word and that is it. I would not buy any additional books before you actually start the course as you receive a large number of references. This information can also be found on M-TEC's website. How you decide to take notes will be your decision. Some use OneNote, some Excel, some Keynote and some take notes with paper and pen. You will receive all the references and tools necessary to be successful. The rest is up to you. It is a tough course and prepares you well for working afterwards. Once you graduate, you will have access to a job board, and you will realize that M-TEC will open many doors for you. All this information can be found on their website and on their forum. You can also ask questions on the forum or just call or e-mail M-TEC, and you will receive all the answers. While taking the course you can share the computer as long as you can ensure that you have access for a certain length of time every day and/or during the week. For work I would recommend having a dedicated computer. There are several companies that provide a computer to the MT, and I think that has been discussed here on MTStars on the company board.
Thank you for the information!
I've already download it the trial.
I need some information please

I have recently submitted a resume online and have medical transcription experience. It has been a few years, but I have been a processor for the government and am a fast and accurate worker. Long story short, I stumbled upon this area, checking out a certain company that is interested in me, and they want me to test. I see they are listed in this area, but I want to see if it is a job, or a school. Can any one speak out and advise me please? I am looking for a good home based position, but want to see what the company is like, as well as the employees.


Please, if anyone is out there, reply to me. I have been unemployed by the government after a huge lay off and am trying to keep my home for myself and my disabled child. I hope my prayer will finally be answered.


Thanks for letting me in.....  



Can you share where you work that the work is plentiful? nm

This is not first-hand information about M-Tec, but
I cannot recall ever seeing anything negative about any aspect of M-Tec on any MT board. I also do not recall ever hearing of any successful M-Tec graduate who was not able to find employment. The key to the success of schools like Andrews and M-Tec is that they prepare their students very thoroughly, and employers are well aware of the quality of their courses and are therfore eager to hire them. If I had it to do all over again, knowing what I know now, I would absolutely have no qualms about signing up with either Andrews or M-Tec. Hopefully, an M-Tec graduate will be able to give you a definitive answer about placement. M-Tec personnel have a reputation for integrity. I have never seen any negative comments about any of them on any MT board. It would seem quite safe to rely on any claims they make about their placement success.
Great information.
I will definitely keep that in mind.
That's okay. No need to verify the information
It would be nice if their web site would list medical transcription and the credentials of the instructors. That's not your fault. I'm disappointed in the way community colleges handle it because it shows a lack of respect for the medical transcription course they offer. That's their problem though, not your responsibility. I just thought maybe your school was diferent and had verifiable information. Thanks anyway for your reply.
M-TEC is always forthright with information

I know it might sound odd to some, but we do pride ourselves on telling the truth (and nothing but the truth) to prospective students, current students, and graduates about the industry, job opportunities, and the profession in general. We are not like some of the matchbox schools who are trying to enroll everyone and anyone off the streets. We have a pre-enrollment test, and we pride ourselves on the difficulty level and quality of our program. We only enroll as many students as we know we can handle. Period. We won't tell you that this course is going to be easy, nor do we tell you that you can do this from home in your jammies with kids on your lap. We take this profession very seriously, and we expect our students and graduates to do the same. Our placement rate is high and, while the biggest percentage of our employers who hire our graduates are looking for full time employee status (what a great opportunity that is by the way), many of them will also still hire part-time. It is easier by far to make this a career choice and prepare for full time position so that you can continue to train your ear and update your skill levels once you graduate. If part-time is the only option for you, we will work with you to that end. Those are the facts.


That having been said, I would be more than happy to talk with anyone who is sincerely interested in our program or medical transcription in general. Please feel free to email at sfrancis@mtecinc.com or call toll free 877-864-3307 and talk with me or any one of our staff at your convenience. :)


The websites will have a lot of information..sm
about price, what you get for your money, how long you can expect the course to take, etc. Any other questions can be directed to the school and they will be happy to answer your questions. Just don't let price be the only consideration. The value of the materials, instructors ability, and marketability should be considered.
You cant put someone's personal information out there like that. nm

Internship information
could I please get info on the internship program?
Thanks

Not True Information
Not sure where you had heard this info, but we never would hire anyone and allow them to work for free. We pay competitive rates for every single new hire. Our training program that we used to have was a FREE program offered to new grads.
Information on Focus Infomatics
Does anyone have any information on Focus Infomatics in Boston, MA?  Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sites with more concrete information

At www.mtchat.com there is a forum faq called "Interested in MT?" which has some great info.  Also, check out MTEC's website; under prospective students are some good links--the "Is MT right for me?" also has links to AHDI's website, as well as the Bureau of Labor's information on the field of MT. You can also search this website...


I have to say, this isn't an "I'm in it for the money" field; you have to like this work to do it and be happy.


information site for newbies
I am a newbie at this as well and have gathered information from what I have learned through the courses and have compiled them into a blog. I yet have more to talk about and share with other newbies. You may want to check my job links list as there are a few that are hiring new MT graduates. You can visit it at

Hope this helps.

Can you say what company you are working for?

this company is advertising on the job board - Dictate4Me
not sure if this is the same company, but...

A friend of mine who was recently looking for a job had been talking to a lady from New England Transcription (not sure if this is the same company??) and had been given the total run around from them. 


First the lady said that they paid 9 cents a line to start, then when my friend got the contract (which she had to call the lady for 5 or 6 times), it said 5 cents a line.  Then she never heard from the lady who hired her until the day before she was supposed to begin the job.  Then, the day she was supposed to start, she was told there was no work, and she should call back in a few weeks. 


Needless to say, she didn't take this job, but it wasted about 3 weeks (from the time she accepted the position until they told her it was no longer available due to lack of work). 


If this is the same company, maybe ask for the contract up front and review it carefully.  Ask what the work load is like and all that good stuff.  Hopefully it's not the same place.


Company
May I ask which company you are working for?
Take the job if you like the company
I would take the job if the company seems professional. The pay rate seems reasonable for someone coming out of school. If the people you are working for are helpful, you will gain tremendous experience. If they will help you with further training, then you are off to a good start. Taking a job with a higher rate and being in over your head might not be the best path. Just my opinion.
What company is it?
.
If you like the company then I would
You can load it and it will have (I think) 2 operating systems but XP should work fine. Not a lot of places are compatible with Vista yet that I know of.
Why do you think that the company you
work for should bend over backwards to give you the account you want? I am sure other MTs are on that account, so would it be fair to take someone off just because you want it???? If you want to find another job fine, but don't think that just because you want certain accounts you will get them. We all take the bad with the good.

About the company
Yes i surely can. It is a SCAM company, STAY AWAY from it if you don't want to lose your money and time.
