who hires new grads with vista?
I am a new grad looking for an at home position.  I was accepted with a company, but they are not compatible with Vista.  Does anyone know of another ?  Thanks!

I do know at least 1 disreputable school that claims grads are CMTs
I do know at least 1 disreputable school that claims grads are CMTs. The only way you can take the CMT exam is through AAMT though. Any school that says you can put your name, MT or your name CMT after you finish is either dishonest or doesn't know better, in my opinion. Either way, it's not a good way to get your education. Go to someone who knows enough about the profession and is honest enough to tell you the truth.
Who hires new MTs?
Hi,  I'm a new MT and also cannot find a company to hire me.  I am finding that, without schooling and no job, I'm losing some of the skills I have previously learned because there is no repetition.  I also cannot get hired when I do pass a test, and the college I attended did not inform anyone that we would not be able to land a job once we graduated unless we had 1-2 years of experience.  I did do an externship at a hospital an hour away from where I live and I was given great reviews of the work I did there.  Their budget wouldn't allow them to hire another MT, and I don't care to travel dangerous snow-covered roads in the dead of winter in rural Maine if I could have gotten a job there.  I did walk away with a fantastic reference source which also doesn't seem to matter.  I am also a member of a national honor society.  I loved doing MT work and it is something I can see myself doing until I'm older and grayer.  I am wondering if new MTs will have to wait until all the old time MTs retire before we can land a job!!  I think transcription companies are losing out by not hiring new energetic ready-to-go educated MTs who take pride in this line of work!  I know we all will need a little mentoring, but it will pay off in leaps and bounds for the companies who are looking for help!   
Who hires new...
Yeah, but there are companies who have mentoring programs for MT Grads in which you do work from home.
who hires newbies?
I am a recent graduate from our community college and I have been looking for at-home work for a few months now. I am determined to make this work for me, but finances are running low and I am a bit discouraged. What companies hire new graduates?
Sten-Tel hires NEW MTs!!

If any new MTs are looking for employment.  Sten-Tel, Inc. has an externship program that hires new graduates.  Go to their website and type in the word "careers" in the search engine and it well tell you about the externship program.


I graduated in June of 2005 and got hired on with Sten-Tel October of 2005.


Send me a post if you would like more info.


Otherwise you may have a decline in new hires.

MediVoxx hires new MTs
Go to their website and take the online test. Good luck!
Who hires new graduates?
Can anyone give me some ideas on who hires new graduates?  I'm having no luck.....
When your doctor hires you . . .
When your doctor hires you, come back and tell us. Historically, pretty much nobody prefers AHP graduates. Few doctors have ever heard of AHP and other employers shudder at the name.

You should brush up on spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It's "prefer," not "perfer" and there should be a comma before "too."

This whole series of posts looks like advertising spam from AHP. The "I love" and short, choppy, "rah-rah" sentences give it away.

In any event, a good course would have supplied everything, so you wouldn't have had to buy extra dictation. Would have had teachers, too.




Alltype hires newbies
If you have graduates from one of the acceptable list of schools and pass the entry test, which is very basic, they do mentor in newbies and won't insult you with 4 cpl starting pay like some of the other companies.  They had a recent ad on the job board.
Medquist also hires newbies.

Some companies have you work on their platform.  Word is required sometimes, but not 2007.  You're best bet is Word 2003, which is compliant with most MT platforms.


As far as convincing your husband, don't expect to make a whole lot in the first probably 2 years at least.  This business takes a lot to get up to speed.  Nothing lucrative until your probably 5 years in, and that's definitely not working part-time.  You'll probably need to work at least one full-time job and a part-time to make any great money in this business unless you get your own accounts.  If you get your own accounts through local physicians, then you're looking at being a contractor, which means no insurance help.


Good luck with whatever you decide!   


Spheris hires new graduates
Good luck!
as a newbie, you need to research who hires newbies

Meditech hires newbies for real
Meditech is a company that does hire newbies for their internship.  I finished my internship in October and am now a full-time employee.  I am posting this message to let everyone know who hasn't found that perfect company that hires newbies, that this is a legitamate company who does.  Everyone wants you to have experience, this is how you get that experience. 
spheris hires Career Step

Have a friend who is a recent graduate for MT, does anyone know of a company who hires with less
than one year's experience or has a mentoring program?  TIA!
Spheris hires entry level graduates from
at 5.5 cpl, they pay direct deposit on time, insurance not that great (large deductible) and all the usual FT benefits. Only PT benefit is 401K. My supervisor, QA people, and accounts have all been decent, 4-1/2 years into it.
Focus hires newbies and she can probably pick her hours

MT Grads
Hi,

I am in the same boat. Recent grad that has applied to numerous companies-I think I am running out of options. Single parent with 2 children and stressed about where to go from here. May have to get a job doing something all together different just to get by. Feel I am running out of time and don't know what to think or what to do or where to go.

Jade
NO. Not all CS grads do. Those who want to be
do Spheris sample reports instead of the CareerStep advanced portion of the course. Most people who go to CareerStep do NOT go through the Spheris Training Track. I didn't.
M-Tec grads

Hi,


I am a little confused about the price on M-Tec School.  Can anyone tell me how much it is with shipping and handling. I am interested in the Tier 1 payment plan.


Thanks,


Bob


New MT Grads.....
It looks Medquist is hiring for new MT Grads.  I know there were some looking for a position to get their feet wet.  They are currently looking for new grads at Medquist. 
New grads
I am also a new grad of CS. There is a post on the job board for Another Medical Must, and they just hired me. I begin to train next week.It has taken me 6 months, but I finally have a chance :)
They seem to be hiring quite a few new people now, so apply to the job post.

Employment for New Grads

I am a recent grad. I graduated with a GPA of an A.


Is there any company that hires new grads?


So far, I have not found any.


Thank you.


employment for new grads
AMEN! While I am not a recruiter, I have run into that 2-year thing. I also agree with you about what CS consider 'experience'. Thanks for stating it!
Re: Recent Grads
Hi Amy,
I am the one who made the original post. I'm not so "upset and disgusted" anymore. :-) I thought I might give you a little advice on finding a job.

I think I said this in my post, but the way that I went about it was sending my resume to every company I could send it to. Even if the company stated they wanted two years of experience. My resume outlines my specific skills as an MT, i.e. computer, terminology, etc...and also outlines lists the specific courses I took in my college program.

There are literally hundereds of companies out there. I don't know if you are wanting to work from home or work in a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office, but I would do the same thing either way. I sent my resume to many, many companies.

If you are looking online and the company website offers testing for employment, take the test. That is how I ultimately landed the job I have now. The company I work for states they want 2 years of experience, but I tested for them and they hired me because I passed.

It is not easy to land that first job. You just have to be determined and keep at it. Since I got hired I have had 5 more job offers. It will happen for you too. Good luck!
MTEC Grads

I just finished my coursework at M-TEC.  I can't wait for my test to be graded...and I'm itching to find a job.  Before my test, I was 95%.  I'm wondering if anyone knows what companies routinly hire from M-Tec so I can go looking now and not have to wait till I am able to access the COC on M-TEC's website?


 


 


Any new grads having better luck?

I graduated from one of the top 3 MT schools at the end of October with a 96% GPA. I have sent my resume, filled out applications, and taken tests to the point of losing count. The majority of the companies have not responded back (I still don't know if I've even passed or failed the tests I've taken), the few that have responded say they are not hiring at this time or not hiring new graduates or entry level or their company is reorganizing. I keep telling myself this is all part of the economic problems we are having, but I can’t help  feel somewhat discouraged. I would appreciate anyone out there with some input about their job hunting. Thanks!


Hiring new grads
Does anyone have any information on which companies might be hiring new grads, or anyone willing to give a newbie a chance? I am having a hard time finding work, and I've been out of school for about 6 weeks. Is this unusual or am I expecting too much too soon? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hiring new grads
Check out mtbot.com. Click on the jobs and it will take you to a list of companies. The companies that hire newbies will state so, and just go from there.


Good Luck
M-tec , Career step Grads
I am looking for a good affordable MT school. From what I have read Andrews is top notch but expensive. Any graduates of M-Tec or Career Step please let me know if you were happy or not with your choice.
Companies hiring new grads

Hi Wanda,


I work for Transolutions and they have started hiring new grads.  They are a fantastic company in my opinion.

No jobs for At-Home grads
I completed the At-Home course last Nov with a 95% GPA, and I still have not landed a job. I have sent out so many resumes and emails that I have lost count.

I even sent At-Home a letter asking if they would help me out, but their only response was that most MT's seek employment through the Internet; that's it. I don't know what they mean by 'graduate assistance.'

I have discovered through other MT message boards that the majority of At-Home grads cannot even get their foot in the door because of the lack of training/education. Even employers have posted statements that they too don't hire At-Home grads. If I don't find work soon I may have to study again with one of the top '3' schools that I've heard so much about.

I would never recommend this school to anyone!
Spheris will hire grads
from Career Step without even making them take an employment test. There are many other large nationals who allow grads from CS, M-Tec and especially Andrews to take their employment test, and if they pass, they are hired WITHOUT 2 years experience.

Don't call it BS if you don't know what you are talking about.
ANYONE will hire grads. That's not the issue...
poster was trying to say a graduate of the top 3 is equivalent in the job market to someone with 2 years experience.
also not just ANY career step grads...
you have to have the special Spheris training, which I might add, puts another two months on your training period. Employment is not guaranteed. By the way, are you a salesperson for  Career Step, perchance? Because I think you really misrepresented the situation. Especially here on an NEW MT board.
Because grads of some schools are not having those problems
Some are doing very well. They actually teach. They charge for their services, but they actually provide an education in return. That's the way it's supposed to be. The problem is when students want to take the easy way out. They invite unscrupulous people to take advantage of them. Some of the poor schools are glad to do that, over and over again.
calling all M-Tec students/grads...
How many hours a week did it take any of you to complete the Tier 1-Premier program in 12 months or LESS?  Is it possible to still work 30 hrs/wk and do this?
From my experience in working with grads from both -
PLease do not make your decision based on one school sounding like you can get through it faster than the other. I used to perform QA duties and had the opportunity to work with grads from both schools. The schools both produce excellent MTs. I would have to say, and this is only MY opinion from the grads we hired, that the grads from M-Tec had better ears and the ones from Andrews seemed to have more book knowledge overall. I chose M-TEC because I liked how everyone sounded on the message boards. Kathy and Susan were the only instructors when I attended, and both of them are super nice and were (and still are!) willing to answer just about any question I came up with. Call up both schools and chat with whoever answers the phone and go with your gut. :-) Remember, you are only going to get what you put into any school. Good luck in which ever one you choose!
Night Hours for New Grads?

Hi,


Are new graduates from MT programs like M-Tec or CS offered night hours, any evening p/t or f/t jobs?


Thanks


I think most of the new grads are having a hard time.
I still haven't found a job myself, and I graduated this May.  I would go through your local phone book and start calling all of the transcription companies if you haven't already.  Call the hospitals, too.  Start applying everywhere.  MTdaily has a list of companies and most of the companies have a carreer or job opportunity link on how to apply.  I know how frustrating it can be.  I am actually considering switching to legal transcription.
Selkirk College grads

I would like to know how many Selkirk College grads of the AMT program actually find work working online upon completion of their studies.


I simply cannot find a job.  Am I the only Selkirk grad that cannot find work?  Unfortunately, I have to work online, as there are no jobs in my community.  It is very disappointing to spend a lot of money and still be unemployed!


 


 


 


Some of us CS grads are very successful, but still think CS is inferior
to Andrews and M-TEC. Just my opinion, of course.
New Grads and students beware
DO NOT WORK FOR TOTH TRANSCRIPTION.  They will not pay you, and they prey on new grads.  There have been MANY people come forward claiming the same thing.  They are a complete scam.  Take my warning, do not work for them. 
I'm a trainer at my Job and I get Allied grads
Lynette,

I've found the key to making it work for Allied grads is to follow up with a good internship and job training placement.

We do this at our company and we have Allied grads who work out fine. What they seem to need is 2 to 3 more months of hands on training to be ready to produce valuable work.

There is no reason to give up or quit and spend $3400 with Andrews to be able to retake APT (anatomy, physiology, terminology). And I believe Allied uses the SUM material for Beginning Med Typing- SUM has been around for decades I think.

A recent trainee of mine went to Allied and followed up with internship at Med Workshops. The internship made it happen for her. She is now doing fine and going on 1-1/2 yrs employed with us.

I want to go a little further on this subject:

Tuition is going to have to go down in the current economic climate. $3400 and up for tuition is just too steep for most people. Even the best schools will be hit hard by the reduction in discretionary spending.
First, I'm not one of the "little grads" I'm not their grad at all.
Just because for many years anyone who wanted could learn to be an MT from their next door neighbor, that doesn't mean that's the way it is today. I think too many MTs are just afraid of competition from well-trained MTs, who with a good education and a couple of years' experience will be better MTs than they ever will. I have seen MTs claim to have 20+ years' experience, and they make ridiculous errors and don't even care - "That's they way I've always done it!" I'm talking about the way things are today, not back when anyone who could type could be an MT, and could teach anyone else to be an MT.
attn. M-TEC and Andrews grads
Did any of you complete the program but were unable to get a job afterward?  Does anyone know how many people enroll but fail to successfully complete these programs?
