Medical Transcription Jobs

Job Hunters frequently come across promising advertisements that turn out to be blatant lies that were geared towards bringing traffic to the advertisers website. Craigslists are full of these scams. I now make a point of taking a moment to look for violations of Google Adsense TOS and reporting websites when it seems appropriate. You should try it. It feels good. If every job hunter did this, there might eventually be fewer scams. That would only be true if Google has the extra resources to put into investigating. The sheer volume of scammy sites full of Google Ads makes me wonder if they have decided that they can’t eliminate it and they only do enough fraud investigation to keep up appearances.

It’s not medical transcription, but there is a growing demand for transcription from podcasters.

Bloggers who like to speak to their ‘readers’ using audio or video generally publish a transcript so their content can be effectively picked up by search engines. Consider approaching podcasters directly about providing transcription services. In many cases, turnaround time and quality are more important than price with these particular customers.

It has been about three years since a small service industry sprang up to meet the demand for podcast transcription. Find job opportunities in this field at www-transcription.net.

You see the perfect medical transcription job posted on the internet and you are about to seize the day when…

You see that you have already missed the deadline.

or

You click a link and the website tells you that the job is gone.

or

You email your resume and never hear anything back.

These situations are undeniably bummers, but I think job hunters miss opportunities by not at least making a record of the company name and contact information. There is a lot of turnover in the MT business. Some companies may also be in a growth phase and it might be a good idea to contact them politely and leave your resume with them in anticipation of future work.

This is educational, not entertaining…

I was looking through the transcription job postings on www-transcription.net and I saw one from an employer that I thought was worth a closer look. AccuTran Global offers a wide variety of transcription and editing services to its clients and it looks like they are busy enough that they continuously test job applicants. Many firms with an online presence have streamlined their HR system to the point where it practically runs by itself, so taking all comers doesn’t bog them down.

One particular service (non medical) that I found interesting was substantive/stylistic editing. If you have a knack for format and language, this kind of work could be just your cup of tea. I have to assume that the dollars to keystrokes ratio is easier on the hands, too.

I was searching for information to help a person with the ever popular question about how to get a job with no experience and I stumbled upon a very personal opinion piece on the job of medical transcription. I don’t agree 100% with everything Joy Denise says, but I appreciate her candor and I think she paints a vivid picture of her own experience in the field. Here is a short quote to pique your interest…

I’ve lost accounts to India and gotten a few of them back when the work came back looking like “Swiss cheese” with all the holes in the dictation….Smaller clients have proved more loyal, so that is my focus rather than hospitals…

Telecommuting means never being late because you get stuck in traffic. It also means that you are at the mercy of your internet service provider.

I think almost everyone in the Western World has several ISP’s competing for their business. If you are doing digital transcription, you have to place reliability above discounted prices. Don’t be afraid to abandon one ISP in favor of another. Some companies waive setup fees if you are switching from the competition. If you decide that dependability is extremely valuable to you, you could consider using more than one ISP and using a Double WAN router. In most cases this is going too far. People with 24/7 customer service contracts often use this setup, but for transcribing you should probably just ask around to find out who is most dependable and has the best customer service.

I was going to write a post and call it Will Medical Transcriptionists Become Obsolete?. I quickly found out that someone has already written that particular post. The article at MT Mastery Center covers much of the ground that I planned to cover. Given the fact that thousands of late adopters are still using tape pickup and return, I can’t imagine that the entire medical field would jump on the voice recognition bandwagon overnight. Skilled transcriptionists should be able to adapt to gradual changes in the job market and take on more editing and correcting work.
