5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for med trans students (coming from one!), May 26, 2000
This review is from: The Medical Transcription Career Handbook (Paperback)
I am so glad that I bought this book! It is very helpful and insightful. I am currently in a two-year Associate of Science in Medical Transcription degree program, and while I am very happy with my training at the college, I felt clueless as to: how to start looking for a job, what I should look for in a position, what to expect in salary for my first job, how to do my resume with no on-the-job medical transcription experience, etc. This book covers it all! It has good information on all of the above mentioned topics AND stories from working medical transcriptionists and how they got their first jobs. It also has websites relevant to medical transcription and many more tips including a chapter on "tricks of the trade." This is an excellent book if you need ideas on how to start after you graduate. I highly recommend it for any medical transcription student!

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, April 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Medical Transcription Career Handbook (Paperback)
I thought this book would give me some good advice and helpful hints for breaking into the medical transcription field but it's really just one person's opinions. Don't waste your money!

This review is from: The Medical Transcription Career Handbook (Paperback)
This book is just plain old common sense, there is no real information given. Very basic.
