Whats most satisfying about a medical transcriptionist job?
I’m task oriented and self-motivated. I like to have a chunk of work to do and get it done. It’s like I’m in a competition with myself, how many lines can I get done today. I also really like typing and I like words. I like bringing a sense of perfection to the job. The best part is the flexibility of the job, I love working from home. I love being able to work anytime. After I had kids, I really couldn’t work full-time, so the flexible hours have allowed me to make some extra money and still be here for my kids. A lot of companies prefer part-time work-at-home workers because they don’t have to pay benefits. You can make a great living if you work full-time. But I usually work only 3 hours a day. Also, it’s a job where you can keep growing and learning. I’m only working part-time, but if I worked full-time and had the inclination to expand my job, the transcription service I work for would train me to do pathology, emergency medicine, surgical, orthopedics.
