The university down the street will be offering an undergraduate degree in Arabic. It is one of only 3 offer in this country. Now THAT ought to be useful. Sometimes, if you already have an undergraduate degree, they let you skip the basics and finish in 2 yrs. I would certainly consider that, especially since there appears to be no end in sight to our troubles with Arab-speaking countries. ...
I've been hearing a lot about needing to possibly now have liability insurance but what are we being insured against? Liability for what? A mistake in the report? I've always been under the impression that the doctors are supposed to be reading their reports before signing and if they sign it with a mistake, that is THEIR responsibility. ...
I am trying to write a cover letter for a job that was advertised in the newspaper. The ad just says Medical Secretary, must have experience in the medical field. It just gives a phone number. When I called the number it gives a fax number. I know for a fact that it is for Radiology by googling the #. I have twenty years transcribing radiology. Does anyone have any suggestions in what to include in my cover letter so it will stand out. I have not worked ...
Does anyone know of a company that sells custom covers for split keyboards? I have a Goldtouch I got off of eBay a couple of months ago and I need a cover. Sick of it getting dust bunnies. TIA ...
I generally introduce myself with my name, state how long I have been a MT and just a very short overview of my experience, as well as position I am seeking, IC, for instance. My cover letter is only 5 lines. Is this the norm for everyone else? When I first typed my cover letter I did some research and it stated to make the letter as short as possible and to highlight your "strong" points.
Just curious ... thanks for any opinions, advice, etc. ...
If a company says send a resume, do you automatically send a cover letter too, or skip it? I'm old school and it seems wrong to not send a cover letter. On the other hand, they are probably busy and don't have time to read it. This company is not actively hiring, but they say they are always interested in qualified MTs. TIA ...
Timely!
Computer-aided coding and its impact upon the coding job market is the feature story of the just-released For The Record magazine.
Some excerpts:
"...From what I've heard from those hospitals for years now is that it's not that they need fewer coders." Instead, Bronnert sees coders being used more effectively and at a higher skill level. "They become even more valuable to a facility. I don't see their roles or positions diminishing at all. I see ...
What a crock!! My old insurance covered contraceptives for women. On UHC's page, it says the new law requires they cover women's contraceptives August 1st. You'd think they'd do it anyway because birth control is a heck of a lot cheaper than obstetrical care... Ticks me off. ...
Other than the stress from worrying about money,I can not believe how good it feels to have the giant elephant of stress off of my back. I just had an interview with the people from unemployment. Of course, I think Nuance is trying to fight me getting anything. Thank God my husband was very supportive and saw how Nuance and FIESA were eating me from the inside out! I have been filling out applications and have been on only one interview so far.
PLEASE, PLEASE, Don't be foolish like m ...
