What skillset should a professional transcriber’s resume contain?
When applying for a transcriber or a proofreader position at a transcription service company, it’s only obvious to attach your resume. While to be a transcriber, you don’t need any special training or a degree, you still may need comprehensive knowledge of a certain subject matter. For example, medical transcriptionists usually are required to have at least a bachelors degree in pharmaceuticals, while it’s preferred to have a graduate degree in English for people working on podcast transcription, and solid knowledge of finance and commerce for people working on business transcription files.
The most important advice would be to be clear and concise on your resume. Nobody likes to read through pages and pages of poetry about your skills or your personal life. Keep it short and simple to let the employers know what you’re good at, and what is the background of your knowledge. Also remember to spell check and grammar check the resume, because you’re going to be involved in work that involves a HUGE amount of English knowledge, so it would be a bad start to have your resume grammatically incorrect.
Thirdly, make sure to put your typing speed on your resume, because these days it’s all about getting things done quick and efficiently. So, if you have solid language skills, and amazing typing speed, you’ll truly be a valuable asset for any professional transcription company. If you have the aforementioned skills, do not hesitate to send your resume to ScriptoSphere, so that we can consider you for a transcriber/proofreader position, as we’re always looking out for new talent.
