Getting hired as a Medical
Transcriptionist at home with a knock out Resume! -
MTathome.com - Preparing Your 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!
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
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.

really enjoying all of it. We appreciate everything your
company has done for us with our Medical Transcription

Lisa Franklin -
" Evenwith her telling me about MTatHome, I was
still skeptical of being able to do this from my home. Yet,
after reading your web site and talking to your company; I
did decide to take the chance and
enroll.
I am so GLAD I
did! Your medical transcription training course is
terrific! I completed the course in a little over 6 months
with setting time aside several times a week to
study.
The reason I am
writing this to you is to let you know that I just got
hired for my 1st job as a Medical Transcriptionist From My
Home. I can't wait to get my 1st pay
check."
Sue
Johnson -
"Thank
you for all of your honesty. My mother purchased me your
Course 3 Ultimate and I was amazed at all the material that
came with it. I am still studying my course, however I am
looking forward to when I finish and start working. We
know 2 people that have finished your course and are now
working as MTs from their home. I am so glad they told us about
MTatHome. Thank you for all your support and
encouragement."

"Dear
MTatHome,
I
wanted to send you a note to let you know I am so happy
that I found such an honest Medical Transcription School.
I love the fact that you are a Christian Company. When I
talked with the owner I could see that this company is a big
believer in God. It was so nice to hear about the grandfather
that has preached for over 55 years.
I just wanted to say Thank You for the excellent training and
for my new career as an MT. I now am working for 2
doctors from my home office and they keep me pretty busy.
I tell my friends about what a great school you are all the
time, 1 of them is almost done with your
course. God bless you and your staff.
William"
Colleen
S.-
I had
to take time from my busy schedule today to send you an e-mail
thanking you for the gift you have given me. I was very
scared to venture into a new career, however your staff made it
possible for me to learn how to be an MT. I am almost
done with your course and I already have a job waiting for
me! A friend of mine is a Doctor and told me that once I
finish this course I can work for him. He is the one that
told me to take your course. Apparently he has
another MT that works for their office that went
through MTatHome for MT training. Thanks again for
all the support."
