A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I graduated from Career Step’s program in early September. I am becoming very frustrated in my job search, and I thought I would come on here for some motivation.
I have been working as a supervisor at a commercial cleaning company since graduating high school in 2002. This job requires attention to detail, time-management abilities, and computer skills. All three of these carry over into the transcription field.
Attention to detail is required for checking my crew’s work. During the cleaning process and after my crew has finished, I inspect our work area to ensure proper vacuuming, mopping, and dusting. I am required to ensure my crewmembers are consistently working and not taking breaks every few minutes. I am also responsible for ensuring my crew has the proper equipment to do their jobs, and this needs to be checked nightly.
Time management is also very important in my job. We normally have 5 offices to clean and only 8 hours to do so. The offices are not close to one another, and they are quite large. I am required to keep track of time to ensure we arrive at the offices and have them cleaned before the office employees start arriving for work.
I use the computer for multiple tasks everyday. I schedule work shifts, plan crew meetings, and order supplies using my computer. I also print out scheduled tasks for individual crewmembers to ensure they know their assigned duties for that night.
I have sent out approximately 50 resumes, and I have tested with several companies as well. Most of these companies tell me I did well on the test but that they are not currently seeking entry-level employees.
Anyway, that is my story. I just wanted to vent a little, and I hope someone can offer me some helpful advice.
Thanks everyone.
