I hold an interview tomorow?
with the U.S. Postal Service.I took the exam for this position similar to a year and a half ago, so this is something I really want... Any suggestion?
I do soo bad on some interviews because I am desperate at answering random question like "inform me about a time you have to deal beside a difficult person" and things like that.. they ask the most unsystematic questions surrounded by wierd orders on other interveiws (Like grocery stores and stuff)
Do you deliberate ill procure a lot of chance questions from them too?
If possible can respectively of you give me a adjectives interview question and how youd answer it?
Thanks contained by advance, Im so jittery..
Answers: Yes, interviews may be done in messy so the best thing for you to do is prepare. Being prepared next to the possible questions allows you to concoct your answers or best possible design at hand. Research give or take a few the job description and possible interview question (most difficult interview questions). For situational questions, only be positive and let them know how economically you handled the situation and the character involved. Being prepared makes you confident. Good luck and Godspeed!
Eat a hearty breakfast before the interview. Dress in good health. No coffee. You are jittery enough. Walk around the block briskly.
Just relate the truth. Don't volunteer more information than they need. Be cool. God is by your side.
Yes they will ask unsystematic questions. Give simple answers. Pretend to be Superman. Calm, cool and collected.
What are the essentials of a good Medical Transcription reference library?
Answers: What a great question! Here are the essentials:
-Stedman's Medical Dictionary on CD (The CD-ROM references are faster to look up words, and they have enhanced search features like fuzzy word searches, etc).
-Quick Look Drug Book on CD (current year)
-Laboratory/path book (I like Stedman's on CD)
-Surgery Words book (I like Stedman's on CD)
-Surgery Equipment Word book (I like Stedman's on CD)
-Sloane's Medical Word book is good for students and very new MTs.
-A word book (yeah Stedman's on CD) for the specialty you will be transcribing for.
-AAMT Book of Style (on CD)
-An abbreviations book (Stedman's on CD)
-Stedman's Medical Spellchecker. Some like Spellex and some use Medispell (which isn't as comprehensive, but is less expensive if you can't spend the money for the other two). I use Stedman's.
The above are ESSENTIAL.
_____________________
Now these books are really great to have and very helpful:
-Stedman's terms and phrases (it doesn't come on CD and is huge and cumbersome, but I must admit I find things in there that I need, when I need it).
-Laura Bryan's "Making It Your Own" book on MS Word. This book is really invaluable to assisting MTs (old and new) in becoming more productive w/ MS Word. It's also EASY to understand : )
-Stedman's Medical Speller (on CD)
-I really like the Medical Transcription Guide: Do's and Don'ts. It wouldn't be real helpful to an experienced MT, but is pretty wonderful for a new MT. You would want the NEWEST edition. However, you should verify what you find in there w/ the AAMT BOS. However, many find it much less cumbersome to use than the AAMT BOS : )
-A great list of medical reference links organized where you can what you need quickly.
-A good word expander program. There are many. The best is Instant Text. Shorthand is good too. Some love Smartype. I like Abbreviate as it's less expensive and does what I need it to do.
I hope this is helpful to you. Good luck in your new career!
