issues on how to create a Winning Medical Transcription Resume!
Introduction
It is estimated that, out of every 100 resumes received; only two interviews are given. With
those odds, your resume needs to be interesting enough to the prospective employer that you get an interview.
How do you do that? You use SELECTED FACTS. Selected facts are those particular skills,
experiences, accomplishments, training, and whatever else you can bring to a company that matches closely with
their needs and desires. Be honest--some people do check references!
This is only an example of a basic resume.
Formatting Your Medical Transcription Resume:
Remember to include "white space." This suggests you are self-assured and don't need to fill
every inch of the paper. It is attractive to the reader and easier on the eye.
Use upper case letters for titles or heading. Try not to overdo it though, as this tends to cancel the
attraction.
Use italics or bold to emphasize a dramatic accomplishment.
Use bullets to make points or set apart lists of accomplishments.
A misspelled word on a resume is "permission" for your resume to be trashed. Have someone with a good eye check
your resume for grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Parts of a Resume
Name, address, and phone numbers
Education
Work Experience
Certifications/memberships
Awards/achievements
Listing your "Career Objective" is optional. Sometimes listing it can knock you out of the
running for job openings of which you were not aware. Instead, consider including a synopsis at the beginning of
your resume that briefly summarizes your experience and education.
Ten Common Mistakes in writing a resume
- Goofy email addresses! - Please use a professional email address on your resumes! It
can be your name or initial and name, etc.
- Misspellings, typos, poor grammar. We have already spoken about this, but it
bears repeating.
- Not results oriented . Show the prospective employer what you accomplished on
the job.
- Overwritten. Avoid using long paragraphs and sentences that say too
little.
- Hard-to-follow information . Organize your information so it is easy to read.
Begin with your most important point, e.g., education if you have just graduated, and then go from there.
- Misdirected . Do not mail unsolicited resumes. If you hear of an open
position, contact the company to verify the opening and find out where to direct your resume.
- Poorly typed and printed . In our line of work, flawless resumes are
imperative. If you do not have access to a laser or ink-jet printer, have a friend print it for you or take it
to a print shop.
- Too long. Unless you have a Master's degree or above, try to limit your
resume to one page. Keep it clear and concise.
- Too much personal information. Leave out your height, weight, age, sex,
health, and marital status.
- Too sparse. If you only list dates and positions, what is going to interest
the person hiring?
- Tries too hard. Avoid fancy typesetting and exotic paper stocks that distract
from the clarity of your presentation. Many experts say that any paper color is fine, as long as it is WHITE,
WHITE, or WHITE.
Please understand that this sample resume is very generic and cannot look the way it should
on a web page that it would on a Word Document. However, it does show what should be included along with the Resume
Tips mentioned above. When we review your resume as a student we will edit it
for format, style, and content. Once this is done we will wait for your approval before sending out your
resume.
