All Things Transcription

Ok, the title is very sarcastic. I just couldn’t resist. I am actually appalled and amazed that one of our local community colleges is actually giving people the impression that this will help them get a job. This is the “certificate” program that they offer for medical transcription. You have got to be kidding me! No really. It has to be a joke. I paid what I considered to be a reasonable price to do this, when all this time I could have saved myself hundreds of dollars for a “certificate.” I want my money back!

On July 5, 2009, PACE Transcription went live with the new jobs database. 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.

I am pleased to announce that the new jobs database is online! It is one of the largest job networks available and is used by both Myspace Jobs and Facebook. There are over 6 million jobs available, but the real bonus is the 1000 jobs for medical transcriptionists! Jobs are sorted by date, so the top jobs are always absolutely current.

It is easy to use with the ability to search for specific job types and a radius search that can be used for city, state, and zip code. Again, the jobs are current, so there is no culling through outdated jobs. You apply for the jobs. There is no personal information stored; no resume to fill out. Finding and applying for a job is safe and easy.

Employers and recruiters will want to take advantage of the packages available to post their jobs. The deals are great and the highly targeted premier placement guarantees that the most qualified people for the job are responding to your needs. Your listings will automatically be posted at the top before other jobs from the network are shown. Currently, the price to place a 30 day ad is $20.00. If you use the package code EY5FDR82GS, you will get unlimited 30 day postings until September 30, 2009 for only $100! Essentially employers are paying the price of five 30 day postings for this unlimited access. It can’t get any better than this, but be sure to take advantage of this offer before September 30.

Employers who wish to post a large volume of jobs should contact me for discount pricing.

To those of you out there who are having trouble finding the right amount or the right type of medical transcription work, I hope the jobs database will help you connect with the right employer. If anybody has any questions about the jobs site, please feel free to leave a comment or contact me directly.
