All you need can be explained in my note.

At the top, put your name and phone number. I used to put my home address, but with the mass amounts I was sending out, I changed my mind about the address. Also included my e-mail address.

In all caps, put OBJECTIVE: To obtain ..... job working from home. (Or whatever te case is

Next line, the dates of and very last place of employment. 2000-2014: Abc, Inc (formerly Xyz, Inc if there was a buy out.) List your duties and references. Also list why you left, briefly. "Work offshored to India."

You also need to list your supervisors for each company. Do your best with phone numbers. If you know or suspect they still aren't there, just type "last known contact number."

Do your best to keep this on one typed page. You can nix the reference details and just type "References available by upon request." This can save space and also that awkwardness of having had 5 supervisors in a given year or something.

Good luck!

You need more info than that. I have recently taken - me

a couple of resume writing classes, one through my unemployment office and one through my local community college where I attend. The type of resume you write depends on a couple of things, if you have been out of the job market for a while, if you are trying to get a job in a different field than the one you are working in, or if you are trying to get a job in the same field.

You need to tailor experience to fit each job, using terminology that is requested in job posting - example if job requirements are for you to have MS Excel experience, then you need to list that in your job skills, if they require a good team player, then you need to list that, etc. You should list no more than 5 job skills.

You can go to YouTube and find all kinds of videos to help with writing a resume, or google to find templates and/or examples.

Don't know if this is what you have in mind, - but someone ... sm

This is the first time I've posted my resume, and I have a a couple of questions. Is it important and/or necessary to re-post the same resume every so often? Won't the employers basically just look at the first few resumes and not look further down the pages for others? Thanks for your input. ...

I am SO excited. I just received a call from a local hospital for an interview tomorrow for an full-time inhouse transcriptionist radiology position. I am not sure yet if they pay by the line or the hour; I hope it is hourly then I would know exactly what my pay will be instead of by the line since you never know from one pay period to the next how muych it will be. Believe me, this is rare as I live in the middle of nowhere and 3 hospitals that are within driving distanc ...

Hi all. I'm wondering what sites are your favorite for drug researching? The main issue right now is a sentence that has me wondering. It says: "The patient has no known allergy for the s/l listed." I've never heard it put that way before. He must be talking about the meds the patient usually takes, but, if he's been taking them, of course he has no allergies to them! This is a separate sentence as I have it in caps. Do you need anything else? I have tried looking up anything tha ...

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:// ...

Hi everyone I just wanted to stop by really quick and let you all know that finally, FINALLY I am off QA. I was given two accounts today in addition to the one they had initially given me. I can now type w/o counting my reports and waiting for feedback first. It remains to be seen of course, whether or not there will be as much work as I was told but so far, this company has been true to their word. Still, four days on a very restrictive QA protocol was quite scary. I am a LOT grayer now ...

Good morning all! I'm starting a new account which is an OB/GYN clinic and also will entail a good deal of prenatal anomalies and investigations as well. Does anyone here have any particular favorite websites they use as an informative guide for terms, abbreviations, etc., related to this field? If so, would you be so kind as to share any links? Thanks so much in advance for any valuable information you're willing to share. Have a great Tuesday! ...

There are SOOO MANY conflicting opinions on the MT profession, and SOOOO MANY options for training - the more I know, the more confused I seem to be. A "training program" or an "accredited school"? Independent contractor or employee? Doctor's office or national transcription company? I attended a very informative one-day class on the MT industry. MT is a field that I have been interested in knowing more about but have not had the time to look into. Now, I am unempl ...

I'm currently in CareerStep and hoping to be done with my training in the next month or so. I'm trying to get a jump on companies I might want to apply for, and I'm not sure if I'm really getting anywhere. Many of the companies on GlassDoor are geting barely 2 out of 5 stars! CareerStep partners with a bunch of schools as well and I can only get information on about half of them off of Glassdoor. So any recommendations OR companies to stay away from would be great! ...

It has been my experience that any time a company requests that you go to their testing site to complete a test, it seems to be a waste of time in screening candidates. The audio files are extremely hard to hear and half the time the audio skips. There should be a better way to screen applicants than by using these testing sites. It is a no-win situation. You spend two hours doing their screening and trying to transcribe reports that are not the work type that they are ev ...

We ran out of TAT last week and I guess our supervisor missed out on some bonus because of it. Tightening down on schedules/hours/procedures for not showing up for work or showing up late were reiterated to us. Guess some took it seriously cause now the work is slim. Had been getting stressed with having to flex or use up PTO, today I spent the last hour on gardening web sites and looking through seed catalogs. Feel relaxed now and ready to prepare a little lunch and then check back ...

It would be a good way to help each other out Anyone agree? Thanks! ...

I am not sure what's going on of late, but I don't seem to get relevant search results when I use G. I search for a medical word, but get results from sites that have nothing to do with medicine. I end up questioning the credibility of these search results and have to research more. Needless to say, I've been losing money spending so much more time researching words. Sometimes, I just wonder if I could have access to a medical search engine to cut out the non-medical stuff. Anyone ...
