There are many MTs (Medical Transcriptionists) on the job hunt right now. Besides having a good resume and cover letter there is another subject that strikes fear in the heart of newbie transcriptionists everywhere; the dreaded employment test! If you have started applying for jobs, you know that many companies require you to take both an objective and transcription test as part of the hiring process. I thought I would gather up some tips from some forum friends and make up a list of the ones I thought were most helpful.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 9.8%, according to the government figures from August of this year. Of course, most economists agree that this is not an accurate figure since it does not reflect the number of people who have given up on searching for a job and people who are underemployed; this refers to people who may desire full time employment but are forced to accept part time work.

I am very pleased with the response so far. The reaction has been very positive and several people have contacted me to say that they like the format. One of the things that I like the most about the database is the easy to use search features, and the feedback I have received has shown that visitors to the site agree with this.
Thank you for your positive responses and I will continue to work at getting more medical transcription jobs posted on the site. The jobs do change and you never know when you will run across that “perfect fit.” Tell your friends about the site even if they aren’t medical transcriptionists. There are jobs available in many different careers.
Check back often and I wish you luck on the hunt!

As a medical transcriptionist, you have two options in how you choose to work. You can obtain a job with a company as an employee or you can work as an independent contractor. Employee status is self explanatory. Just like any other job you work set hours, receive a paycheck with taxes withheld, and may have benefits available to you. As an independent contractor you have greater flexibility with your schedule, are responsible for your taxes, and will not be offered benefits by the company you contract for.

We all know that the time it takes to find a job has lengthened considerably. The economic downturn has hurt industries across the board. Medical transcription has not been spared. Starting a job hunt now is a daunting process, and as the months go by with nary a nibble it gets scarier by the day.
