Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hi to all! This is my second post since my initial introduction. I see a lot of posts that help with dictation but my question is regarding getting my first job this summer after graduation. I am really nervous about what to put on my resume as far as not having enough information to put on it in this field. I won't have any experience to put on it and I will be looking for a job in about a couple of months and have started putting my resume together. And I was just wandering if anyone has any helpful suggestions or things they did that helped them " get their foot in the door " so to speak. Because I really enjoy transcription and wish to work from hope and I am a bit nervous wandering if I will actually find something working at home right off. I have heard it can be done and I know this would be a great place to ask this question being there are experts transcriptionist who answer students questions about these things. Any helpful information would be appreciated. Thanks to all! Patty Jo Overby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Morning Patty! I am not overally skilled in resume writing but I have a few pointers that were given to me, and I haven't been in the work force for 15 years so it was like starting over for me, but anyway try a few of these: 1. Make it as short as possible. If its too long and wordy employers will pass it over. You need to get their attention right off the bat. 2. Go with a basic resume that highlights the skills you have not your work history. 3. Include any research material or equipment you might already own (an investment they won't have to supply to you, always a plus). 4. And again, keep it short. There are a couple of resume writing websites to get additional pointers from, just put " Resumes " in a search engine and start reading. Good luck and keep us updated on your job search, we've all been there.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 I was looking at MT stuff on EBAY and someone had a resume for sale specifically for MTs. It was set up like a History & Physical short of. I thought it was kind of cute but you may think it's corny. It was $4.99. Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 These are excellent pointers, Kathy! I would add to state your objective, especially in terms of IC, statutory employee, or employee and full time/part time. This will help the person reviewing the resumes tremendously.

It's a bit too presumptuous for me. I'm afraid these country doctors where I am would toss it when they saw it. Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 I wouldn't buy it because I've heard so many MTSO's dissin' it! For the most part, they hate the idea. *g* Rennie www.renesue.com Re: Re: Resume I was looking at MT stuff on EBAY and someone had a resume for sale specifically for MTs.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Suzanne, Thanks for saving me $4.99. I thought it was probably way too cutsy but I was curious. Dyan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
