Well, ladies (and gentlemen), I graduated from my school with High Honors at the very end of February.  I have been looking for a job for just over two weeks.  I have no medical transcription experience, but I do have about 10 years of legal transcription experience.

So far, I have been offered three jobs!  It is a wonderful feeling to know that you are wanted!  Granted, one of the positions is paying terribly (although they seem very nice, and that's important too).  The other is a sporadic assignment (not medically related).  The lady in question will call me every couple of months or so with different interviews to transcribe.  This will be nice as an added "extra" now and then, and I have already accepted her offer.  The third position is paying fair money, and they seem like a dream company--just what I am looking for!  I wanted part-time IC work (20 hours a week), all work conducted through the internet, the ability to use my own equipment and software, steady accounts, and decent pay.  I will probably go with this company!

I have told the two employers offering steady IC work that I would like a week or so to think about it, and they agreed.  I just want to make sure that I think everything through.  This way, when I accept a job, I'll know for sure that it's the company I really want to go with, and I will be the best MT I can with no regrets.

I have worked very hard for this.  I took many grueling tests, which I passed with very high marks.  I have written scores of letters and made dozens and dozens of phone calls.  I have plugged away at it religiously, and my dedication has really paid off.

To anyone out there looking for a job: Be professional, keep your chin up, and try your best everyday--and you will succeed!

7 cpl also from other companies.  One company, Spheris, only offered me 5.5 cpl and I turned them down.  Again, I graduated 2 years ago when I was seeing more people offered at least 7 cpl. Now, everyone from CS seems happy to work for 5 cpl.  Go figure.
