seeking job info

I've been with a MTSO for nearly 5 years, but the account they have me on is becoming too hit and miss.


I'm looking for a position and hope to get recommendations, based upon the following:
1.  Part time only, and no weekends.
2.  A decent line pay for someone with nearly 30 years exp.
3.  Uses a C-phone or voice files (I do not have TransNet).

If anyone knows of a good MTSO, or even an individual looking for some help, please email me. I need some more steady or I'll be singing the Pay the Bill Blues.

Seeking info on Diskriter's platform; ease of use, line counts,

Regard deposit
The deposit for the equipment is $250, but like stated before payments are in installments. $25 to $35 per pay period. You should try them. They are a good company to work for. No underlying discrepancies occur there.
With regard to your last sentence (sm)
I bet I can guess who is the scammer and who you are working for now.  You are right on both counts - 
In regard to SmartMed
what is the eSmartMed curriculum about?  Has anyone taken the curriculum courses and gone through the internship, and then hired by them?  I am curious about this.
Also KS Question in this regard...(sm)
It is my understanding KS does not pay shift differential, bonuses for working on days off, etc. In other words, if you are already making the maximum lines per day that you can, there is no real incentive to work days off, etc. I may be wrong about this, so it would be helpful if a KS person could confirm/deny this. Have they ever had an incentive program in the past but it didn't work out? Not trying to cause any problems here, just interested....
With regard to insurance premiums, sm

Who would you say has the best insurance to offer, at a reasonable price. I am currently paying about $500 for family coverage per month; that does not include dental and vision.  It is probably another 100 a month. 


Also, what companies out there provide the equipment; including computer and software?


With regard to that on-site training
Does SS pay for travel expenses, including lodging, meals, etc? Or does the MT have to pay out of pocket?
Except - if things change with regard to offshoring,
hiring an American union member may be the most cost-effective way to go.

Making offshoring undesirable and EXPENSIVE should also be on MTs' agendas, this coming year.
Regard CC Transcription, Carol Joyce...sm
She has promptly paid my invoice.  This matter is closed by me.  Please email CC Transcription if you  have any questions or problems with anything.  I am no longer an IC with her company and if anyone has any questions, please contact the company. Thank you.
Feeling clueless in regard to MT platforms such as Extext, etc. sm
I have always worked with MS Word and WordPerfect. Had my own clients for many years, as well as working for MTSO as an IC. I have never worked on a transcription platform such Extext or any of the other common platforms. I am well versed in working digitally with FTP, TASP, etc. I currently work for a service and continue to work strictly in MS Word and FTP transfer. I worry about this lack of experience with these platforms What can I do to educate myself in the event I choose to go with a large national who uses a MT platform? Quite honestly, I have never even used a shortcut program other than auto correct in MS Word because I have very, very few repetitive dictations, as I type many different specialties and doctors, who each has their own style and format required (mainly teaching and research hospital) Thanks for any ideas.
I can't remember where I first heard this line, but with regard to AHDI.... sm
Remember, the court-appointed psychiatrist is not your friend.
What is their policy with regard to weekend work, and do they supply equipment?
Thanks.
The long rant was in regard to Cassie on Guiding Light.

Rule #1 about job-seeking: Never, EVER, pay
'background check', NADA. The company should always pay for those things. If not, look elsewhere. I learned that one the hard way a long time ago.

Accupro--Seeking opinions

The response time has been slow so far.  I received testing materials directly from the recruiter via email 2 weeks after submitting my resume.  I returned the tests within 24 hours and waited another 2 weeks for a response.  I inquired via email and it took another week for her to respond.  I'm wondering if all this improves upon employment.  What are they like to work for?  Platform?  Communication?  Benefits?  Do they respond to employee questions in a timely manner?


TIA for answering.


Seeking answers from MTSOs

I graduated last year from one of the top 2 schools with an excellent grade. I decided to transcribe clinic notes and not acute care reports. When I began my first job, I jumped right into a backlogged account and worked every day for more than 8 hours (as an employee!!). I was taken off QA after 10 days although they said it would take at least a month and probably longer. I received raving reviews from my manager and all QA staff. Then they lost this big account, which I understand can happen. After that there was not enough work to go around. Several MTs left, which should have meant there would be enough work for the remaining MTs. What did they do? They hired several new MTs just in case they get a new account some day. Over the year I was there, a large number of the MTs always pitched in and worked overtime when there was a need to do so. I left because I could not make enough money. They did have a minimum line count, and if they had no work, then they did not pressure you to achieve it, but you also no longer received benefits that were based on that minimal line count.


The next company, which I am still, with promised during the initial phone interview, after passing all tests, that this would be a full-time position. Now, they have changed their plans, which I only found out because I kept on asking them when I would get more work. Again, I am receiving raving reviews about the quality of my work, and again, I was taken off QA after a week although they said it would be at least a month and probably longer.


I have been sending out resumes, but most of the time I do not even get a response. When I pass tests, I find out that they pay only 5 cpl as an IC or you need to invest in software, C-phone, long distance plan, or something else. The other day I get a response to my resume I sent for a job on one of these boards asking me if I am interested. I responded 5 minutes later and never heard anything again. The other day an MTSO called me and offered me a job at an acceptable cpl that would increase after off 100% QA. The contract does not mention the cpl going up and does not have a clear description whether the line is with or without blanks and/or headers, footers, etc. are counted. When I asked about these things in an email, the MTSO stopped communicating with me. Two weeks ago I tested and after submitting it, it said a recruiter will contact you shortly. I waited a week and then contacted the company, which told me there are no openings at the moment, but the website says to test if you are interested in a position and no inquiries should be sent before testing.


So here I am, with raving reviews of the quality of work I produce, having graduated with a high grade from one of the top 2 schools, wanting to work and deliver top quality. I was very excited when I graduated last year, but now I am disillusioned. All I want is a decent cpl, honest communication, pay to be on time, and a consistent workload. I do not mind working extra or learning new accounts.


My questions to all the MTSOs out there: Why can't you respond to a resume sent to you? Why do you promise something on the phone that does not show up in a contract and become mute when asked about it? Why can't you give someone who does not have several years of experience a chance? How are those MTs that go to an accredited school supposed to get experience if no one lets them work? Why do you offer a job and then never respond again? Why is it so hard to be open and honest? You started out without experience and possibly without formal training. Did someone give you that one opportunity that helped you launch your MT career, which led to being an MTSO? Well, what about offering someone an opportunity as you were offered?


In closing, please describe the ideal MT that you would hire.


Thank you. Please feel free to email me if you would like to.
