Getting a job.

I have just recently graduated with a 4.0 GPA and I cannot get a job for the life of me!! Everyone wants experience. I can't get experience without a job!!!! Can anyone please give me some advice!!

Find a medical clinic that needs a file clerk or front-desk receptionist. Work there for awhile, be prompt, polite, work hard, get to know your way around their database, file system and etc and get to know the transcriptionists and medical file supervisor, physicians. After awhile let it be known you know how to transcribe. Keep your eyes open, they ususally hire internally first. Sometimes that is the best way into transcription.

Hi Angela,

Yes! That is the catch "22" you want the job, they won't hire without experience, but how do you get the experience if they won't hire you!

Try cold calling! Yesterday at work a girl called our office and since someone had just quit...she got hired.
Try this... Make a list of every co. in your area that would use a transcription svc. Like Hospitals, law offices, medical billing co's ..then start cold calling early in the morning. Leave them your number even if they say NO!
I BELIEVE THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS, AND SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK!

Then, if that doesn't work try online...plug in your city/state and go from there...ALSO...if all else fails,
how about putting an ad in the paper and sell yourself like crazy!! P.S. I would also find health care companies and attend their job fairs, and mixers.
Good luck, don't get discoured..this looks like an interesting site too. Keep in touch. My name is Carole. Hope this helps.
