resume posted...question - colleen


Posted: May 05, 2011

Hi everyone! I'm new here. So, I have been working for the same hospital for approx 9 years. I was just informed that they are switching to VR in 2 weeks. So, I'm currently looking for a new job.  I posted my resume this morning and I have also applied several places.  For those who have posted resumes...how long has it taken for job offers, responses, etc? Any tips or help would be appreciated. Thanks

How long - s/m

I think you will get more response from the jobs you applied for and the tests you took than posting resume on website. When I did this, because of my specialty in transcription, I got one response from resume posted and tons of responses from places I applied. Good luck.

You may get a lot of offers but it could take some time to get the pay, hours, benefits that you want. Were you told that you would no longer have a job? Even after they convert, it could take a while to get everyone on board. If not, my suggestion would be to stay where you are, they may still need you to edit. If you are leaving to avoid VR, that will be difficult to do as nearly everyone uses it now.

I'm looking to get out of my job in a bad way and my resume was less than pretty. I ran across this site and it was awesome.  It's free to update your resume but charges to print or email, copy, etc.  But for a cover letter and resume was only $2.95 but will auto-renew at $34 if you don't cancel within 2 weeks.  But I did the trial period and got an awesome resume and fantastic cover letter. It's easy to use and fun. Hope this helps a little bit.  http:// ...

Someone Posted Below That You Now Have To Pass The RMT To Even Take The CMT?
Sep 20, 2011

Is this really true?  I was already on the fence about it....I despise ADHI but at the same time realize having CMT could possibly help find a job and sometimes (rarely) get a CMT diff.  Not to mention the test cost $300 whether you pass or not.  So now you have to pay to pass the RMT?  This can't be true.  I mean, if you can pass the CMT you should be able to pass the RMT w/o having to PAY for it.  ...

Question Regarding Resume
Nov 19, 2009

I have a question and maybe someone out there knows the answer.  I have a resume which I created on Word.  I would generally send it as an attachment to an e-mail; however, I'm finding that recruiters for some reason are requesting the resume be pasted into the e.mail.  If I do that, I lose my formatting on the resume and the text gets all messed up. Does anyone know of a solution?  I feel really dumb! Thanks!   ...
