As soon as you complete the medical transcription training, you have to start looking for medical transcription jobs. A good training institute will offer you some placement assistance but you still need to make that perfect resume. How do you create the resume? Do you put all information in a document and start formatting it? If that is what you do, that’s a bad idea. Let me give you tips that will make your job easy and professional at the same time.

There are resume templates in your word processor. Use one to create your resume. Creating a resume from scratch will not only waste your time and take a lot of effort, but also make your resume look unprofessional.

If you have just completed your training, include the hours of dictation. And if you are an experienced medical transcriptionist, mention the kind of work you have done so far. This will establish your proficiency. Don’t forget to include your transcription skills such as your typing speed, typing accuracy, and transcription accuracy in the resume.

Include details of your achievements in the medical transcription field as well as in other fields. Your achievements tell a lot about your dedication; this makes a good impression on your potential employer.

Include references of your previous employers/clients. Make sure the contact information of the references is correct. Let your references know that they are a part of your resume. Make sure your contact details of those of your references are correct.

Once you have put all the information in the document, review it thoroughly. Make sure there are no spelling or grammar errors. And get your resume reviewed by someone else before you start sending it to medical transcription companies.
