Day 39: Interview Day

I had trouble deciding what to wear today--Jamin made a suggestion that I wear a scarf with my first outfit and I ended up scrapping the whole thing and starting over. I actually didn't do too bad, went with the black pinstriped suit and just changed the top a couple of times.

So I finally had an interview today, but not for medical transcription. Unfortunately, after doing a bit of research I found that in order to start as an MT I would have to work full-time. I'm just not able to do that. And I'm not ready to work on my own as a contractor. So I'm looking at some other options. This job I applied for today is for a online survey editor position for a marketing company. I'm actually fairly excited about it-- it's got the hours I need and I can work at home after just a few days of in-house training. They gave me a sample survey to go over and see if I get it, and I feel like it totally fits in with what I've learned with both media communication and my recently honed editing skills. I did go over some spelling words from a list I had in my MT training before the interview and test, and that actually really helped me do better on the test.

Day 22: Diploma arrives

I finally got my final back! I also took Zaria on a little walk and picked up this lovely flower. I still don't feel prepared to work on my own as an transcriptionist. They suggest making flyers and sending out business cards to work on my own. I'm going to try signing up with some existing companies first.
