How do you gain job experience when ALL JOBS require work experience?

We Answered:

There are a couple of specific things you can do....take a quick course in a couple of Microsoft apps at your local unemployment center, so that you can list these skills on your resume. Usually, those centers have courses, or you can find cheaper vocational courses where the skill taught is "customer service". Take those service skills seriously. They are the start to bigger and better jobs.

Check with your college on jobs and companies they partner with. Go to all job fairs. Arrive with printed resumes, professionally dressed, and with an optimistic attitude.

Lastly, by the time I had graduated from college, I had worked as a leader/trainer in Junior Achievment and as a trusted volunteer (with an entry level volunteer job and two promotions) with a hospital. Community service will keep you busy while you search, and add to your skills and resume. It might be the start of a lifelong habit of giving back.

All banks are constantly in need of tellers. If you are willing to work part-time during peak hours or on a Saturday, you are even more employable. Teller positions, though not paying that well, are an excellent entry into professional work. The jobs also provide a lot of training.

Good luck!

WHY can't I get a job?

We Answered:

Did you go to an accredited program? If not, that could be your problem. If you're not qualified for the RHIT exam or AAMT exam, they won't look as highly of you. They'd rather have someone that is credentialed.
You need to be willing to drive and work at different hospitals than just the one closest to you. There's a low turnover rate with transcriptionists right now, and I'm sure your local hospital is looking for someone with experience, not someone they'd have to train, no matter how good your school is. It still takes up to a year of on the job training to train someone new in the transcription field.
I think maybe you need to set your sights a little lower. Apply to be a filer, secretary, etc. to get your foot in the door. You may not want to, but that may be your only option, especially if you live in a small town.

my job didnt pay me in full for the hours i worked what can i do?

We Answered:

Follow up with them. Call and tell them that it's been 2 weeks and you want to know what the status is. I am not sure who it is that you have to contact to report failure to be paid...maybe O.S.H.A.
