You
can also do your own searches online or in the newspaper. There
are plenty of job sites such as Monster where you can post your
resume and easily apply for any medical transcription jobs that
are posted. You can even have the site email you job search results
daily. There are also sites that have lists of medical transcription
companies that you can contact and ask if they will test you. Many
require 2 or more years' experience, but if the site doesn't make
their preferences clear, ask!
If you don't mind working outside the home for a time, check with
local hospitals and clinics for on-site positions. It can be much
easier to land a job on-site than off when you lack experience.
It can also be extremely helpful to be surrounded by people who
already know the job quite well.
you may be better off taking more than just the minimum level. My
own employer, for example, preferred students who took at least
the Gold level classes through CareerStep. They weren't particularly
interested in students who only took the basic, Silver level classes.
Whatever you do, keep practicing your transcription. If you have
the tapes from your studies, keep on transcribing them. It's good
to keep your mind on it, and you'll keep improving your skills.
Once you land the job, your ability to type fast and accurately
becomes even more vital. You don't want to lose your touch.About
