Tips and Techniques

Medical Transcription Jobs No Experience? Seriously, though, you need to get real here. If you are new and want to get into the medical transcription business, there are 2 options for you. You can either get training from a quality online transcription school or local college, or you can try to find a job as a medical secretary where you might be able to get some transcription on-the-job training. See a discussion about this here.

Consider this forum entry from Ms. Linda Andrews at Andrews School (a medical transcription training school) on why doing medical transcription from home is a great career IF you have the proper training and the desire to do well.

"The point is, if someone has no prerequisites, can't type, can't spell, can't proofread, etc., the fact that you want to work at home doing medical transcription is not realistic. The messages you see posted are to keep people from thinking this is an easy way to sit at home watching soap operas, talking to your friends on the telephone, running a daycare center and whipping out a few medical reports during commercials. Reality is something quite different.

My advice to any potential student is that you should never consider enrolling in a medical transcription school until you reach the point where you cannot be talked out of it. You are so eager to do what it takes that you refuse to give up UNLESS you can't type, spell, proofread, or pay careful attention to detail. If you can't do those things, find another career interest. This one won't work for you. That's reality."

Great advice!!

Enough said? Let's move on to sending out your resume.

One word of warning, though. Do NOT give anyone money to find you a job. Even if it isn't a scam (not likely), keep your precious money for paying bills while you take your time finding the perfect company for you.
