> As it happens, I have an interview as a medical transcriptionist on Friday. This is something I did as an entry level position 20 years ago into what evolved as a career in medical records. It's been a lot of years since I actually did transcription and didn't particularly like it then, but of course, everything is different now. Transcription requires a lot of concentration while also being quite boring somehow, but still I would be very pleased to have this job. It's full time and should pay better hourly than my tax job will once tax season starts. It could be the chance I need to get back on my feet financially.

> It would also be the chance I need to get back into my field. I kept up my C.E. credits and am still credentialed as a "registered health information manager" but my experience is too old to impress anyone. Yesterday when I was called for the interview I was happy and excited, but today I am feeling anxious and afraid of being disappointed. <sigh>
>I'm not sure what a medical transcriptionist is? Someone on the thyroid forum did that too I think, so it must be a US type job? ..sooo what do they do?
Whatever, I agree about the job. Good for some self esteem, like you feel like you are contributing something in the cogwheel but more so for some independence.
My last interview..about 3 years ago, I totally blew..and it should have been a walk in..but ya don't want to hear about that.
I'll try to reply more later...just wanted to wish you good luck.Oh what are C.E. credits too..and I guess you're training is something in the health field?
> It's so true what the Buddhists say about attachment and suffering. It's kind of hard not to be "attached" to wanting to have a job though!
>hmm what do Buddists say...though I can see they are related.
