Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Hello Everyone! I have just about finished my education as a medical transcriptionist and would very much like to find work at home. I live in the county. The nearest town is 40 miles from the house. I also homeschool the two child I still have at home. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Answer all the on-line ads you can find. If they turn you down at first because of lack of experience, e-mail back and tell them kind of an outline of all the stuff you learned in school and how great of a job you know you'll do for them if they'll give you a chance. The worst they can do is say " no " again. I got my job by being positive like that. They may just go ahead and give you a test, and if you do good, then you've probably got the job. Steer clear of companies that ask for hundreds of dollars up front for equipment or that ask that you work through their so-called " mentoring " program where you don't get paid (They'll keep you in training forever. Meanwhile you're doing real transcription work for them, and they're making money off your free labor.). Most importantly once you get started, don't get discouraged if it seems very overwhelming and difficult at first and you're slow. None of us make a lot of money starting out. That's the way it's going to be for a while, but all the fine folks on this list are here to help, and you'll start to get used to how the certain docs you get pronounce things and what terms they use over and over again. ) ----Original Message Follows---- To: nmtc Subject: Jobs Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 20:47:06 -0000 Hello Everyone!
