A  medical transcription resume is what will help you win your dream job. Thus, you need to create it with care. Don’t just dump information on it; make it a medium for employers to get to know you. Let me share with you some tips on how to create a good medical transcription resume.

• Use a resume template. You will find many 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.
• Add your previous employers/clients as references. 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.
• Make sure you get your resume reviewed by someone else. This will help find out any obvious errors that you may have missed.
