Medical Transcription Trends

I know you have a medical transcription resume (if you are a medical transcriptionist, of course!). But do you have a GOOD resume? How do you know it’s good? Well, if your resume attracts interview calls for jobs, it is good. Your resume makes that first impression for you, and it has to make a good, lasting one. How do you ensure that? Here are a few resume-making tips you can use.

• Make use of a standard resume template that comes with your word processor. Starting a resume from scratch does not give it the professional look.
• Your resume should include detailed information on your education, your skills and achievements of any kind. Your achievements help your potential employer understand your capability.
• If you have medical transcription experience, mention in detail the kind of work you have done.
• Provide current and accurate details of your references. Make sure you inform these people that you have added them as your references.
• Make it a point to mention all the languages you know. If English is the only language you know, don’t mention it specifically.

Now, once you have put all the necessary information in your resume, perform the following checks:

• Perform the spelling and grammar checks facilitated by your word processor.
• Perform manual spelling and grammar checks.
• Review the resume thoroughly and make sure every bit of information in it is accurate.
• Verify the contact details of your references.
• Make sure your contact details are correct.

Once you are sure the resume is good to go, ask someone else to review your resume. Another perspective helps find the obvious errors that you may have missed.
