"I really prefer an office setting. I feel like it is easier for me to focus on my work and if I have questions, there are coworkers or supervisors to ask help of.

"I have worked in both settings and am comfortable with either. I worked as a contract transcriptionist and had an office set up at my home for several years. I also worked for a large medical group within an office setting. I am willing to work wherever I am needed."

It is important to familiarize yourself with the requirements of the position for which you are applying before going to an interview. Some facilities that require a medical transcriptionist offer a work from home option. This helps employers to decrease overhead by not having to provide office space. If you have a preference of one setting more than the other, that is fine. Just remember to state that you are willing to work in whichever setting you are needed.

"I'm comfortable in either setting, really. I enjoy working from home because I can multi-task and do some household chores throughout the day. I also enjoy an office setting because there are less distractions."
