The resume makes that first impression whenever you are applying for a job. In medical transcription too, you have to make sure you have the right resume. This post brings to you some guidelines on creating a good medical transcription resume.

• Make use of the numerous resume templates that come with your word processor. Creating the resume from scratch will not give it a professional look. Moreover, you will save a considerable amount of time if you use a template.
• If you don’t have any prior experience in the industry and you are creating your resume for the first time, mention the number of hours of dictation that you practiced with in your medical transcription training.
• Mention your transcription skills including the typing speed, typing accuracy, and transcription accuracy as these indicate your level of expertise.
• Include all your achievements in the medical transcription field as well as in other fields. These help make an impression about your dedication to work.
• Put in the references of your previous employers/clients. And keep them informed about their inclusion in your resume as references.
• Check the resume for spelling and grammar errors. Review your resume manually after you have used the built-in grammar-checker and spell-checker of the word processor.
• Verify that your contact details and that of your references are correct. Review the resume thoroughly and make sure there are no inconsistencies or errors of any kind.
• Get someone else to review your resume. This will help find out any obvious errors that you may have missed.

We wish you all the luck with your medical transcription career.
