Getting hired as a Medical Transcriptionist
at home with a knock out Resume!
Also See our Newsletters under the Newsletters Menu Section. There
are several past 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 pace." 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.
We have previewed a lot of Professional Resume Services and E-books. There is only 1 that we have seen that
we recommend. This lady has helped a lot of people write their resume that landed them job
opportunities.

Objective:
If you write an objective please keep it professional and point out
the benefits you can bring to the doctor, hospital or company while working for
them as a New MT.
Do not make the objective all about you wanting to be at
home with your kids, etc.! The resume needs to be professional and
they need to know how you would benefit their medical office or company.
