I do that in select instances

not retyping things for the most part... but putting in a macro of a certain section of the report... if the doctor says almost the same thing every time and the VR makes it into gobbledy-gook and I would have to make dozens of corrections as opposed to a few changes with the macro.

That might explain a couple of instances of no work
But not 2 solid months.

And 'integrity' has its price.

I'm skeptical too. The way they've been acting just is not the MDI I've come to know.

They seem to work for select companies (sm)

and most of those companies were ones I'd not had crossed off my list (for one reason or another) for before I contacted them.  I was looking for a QA position (since that is what I have been working), and the QA positions she did have weren't even comparable to what I was already making.  Mind you, this was when Tammy Sereday was working for TM.  I contacted her a while after my initial contact to see if there were any new positions, and she had left the company.  She did forward my email to Pam Trotter.  Needless to say, they had nothing for me then, so I haven't contacted them since.  I'm still where I was... but not for long.


HOW TO SELECT AN MTSO TO WORK FOR?

Here are some observations


 


Helpful suggestions:


 


1.         Ensure there will be sufficient work available. If an MTSO does not enough work you will not make enough income.


 


2.         Ensure the MTSO offers IC/1099, IC/W2 and Employee/W2 wage options.


 


3.         Make sure you are trained and allowed to work on multiple accounts.


 


4.         Make sure your scheduling and shifts are properly established.


 


5.         During the interview and test period find out details about the platforms. Do not accept a position if you believe the platforms is


difficult avoid excepting the position.


 


6.         Production count should be simple AAMT 65 character lines including spaces and control characters. All other methods will


reduce your earnings.


 


Avoid the following:


 


1.         Experience of others may not apply to you. Negative posts on forums about any MTSO represents less than 5% MTSO staff. This means 95% of others are happily working. Make your own decision.


 


2.         Do not evaluate an MTSO if they off shore. As long as you have sufficient work off shoring should not matter to you.


 


3.         Do not go for MTSO who may offer bonus or benefits or other goodies if the work load is less than consistent, you will not earn enough.


 


Hope you find this post useful


 


Many times hospitals only pay for a select very few holidays.
That's been my experience lately -- 3 holidays, Xmas, New Year's, and Thanksgiving.  That's IT.
