How To Buy A Class Ring

Your class ring should be personalized with the name of the school, symbols for sports or recognitions, year of graduation and other interests.
Search for a company that sells class rings. You can look for one near you or just look it up online. You will need to provide the site with your ring size. You can get this from a jewelry store. The website may also have a ring sizer guide. Follow the instructions on how to measure your finger.
Check various websites first. You want to make sure you get the best deal possible. Make sure your ring specifications are clear. Your instructions will be the basis for the ring design. Read the warranty and return policy carefully. They will be important if the ring gets damaged.

Decide how much you would like to spend, before you start shopping. By doing this, you can help avoid spending more on a class ring than you can really afford. Each time you add an extra feature onto your ring, keep your chosen budget in mind and subtract the cost of the extra from that amount.

How To Find A Medical Transcriptionist Job

Demand is strong for skilled medical transcriptionists. As a medical transcriptionist, you can work for a large national medical transcription firm or a regional firm. Alternatively, you can also work for local clinics and hospitals. If you are resourceful enough and confident that you can secure your own clients in the medical transcription industry, then you can also operate as a freelance medical transcriptionist.

Volunteer at Local Hospitals and Clinics

  • Approach local clinics and hospitals with your resume. Offer your medical transcription services free. Most clinics are understaffed and will be happy to accommodate volunteers. Start networking. Carry your business card around with you. Build links and networks within clinics and hospitals. Work with dedication. Unpaid internships and volunteer opportunities can be fruitful. You can get loads of work related references from health professionals. The list of volunteer experiences on your resume adds to your credentials and gives you a definite edge over your competitors. The best thing about volunteering is that it gives you a chance to apply your medical transcription knowledge and skills



  • Find Subcontract Work

  • Call successful medical transcriptionists and make an appointment to meet. Interview them during your visit. Ask how they started in their medical transcription career. Pick out tips from the conversation and note them in your diary using a bold red pen so that you know these points are very important. Ask them if you can work as an intern. The advantage of finding subcontract work is that you get paid. Additionally, you get loads of advice and guidance from a professional medical transcriptionist, which will help sharpen your medical transcription skills.

    Selecting A School..College Anyone?

    If college is in your future, you need to plan. Which schools appeal to you? How are you going to pay for your education?
    How do you decide on a school when there are thousands to pick from?
    Start by asking yourself questions about your preferences:
    • What are my strengths?
    • Am I interested in liberal arts or science or business?
    • What kind of learning environment is best for me?
    • Would I be more comfortable in a small school or would I feel confined?
    • Do I want to stay close to home or live far away?
    • Would I prefer to be in a city environment or a small college town?
    • Should I go to a school where athletics are big or where fraternities or sororities rule?
    • Do I like being with people who are mostly like me or do I want to meet a diverse group?
    Once you've narrowed down your choices, ask the schools to send you literature. Visit their websites. When you've whittled your list down to a manageable number, make arrangements to visit. Try to do this when school is in session so you can get a good idea of what life is really like on campus.
    And remember: You're not the only one making a decision. Schools are picking from a large pool of applicants. They want to know how well-rounded you are and what makes you stand out from everyone else. They will look at your grade point average, standardized test scores, class rank, personal essay, and your extracurricular activities — so it's important to dedicate time and effort to all these things.
