small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend.  Is this true? 

I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread.  Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.

I was there for the promises and guess what Keystrokes is making good on those promises. 

I get vacation time, 401K, and even AFLAC.  My pay is great, always on time as well as accurate. 

I have my main account and have been given back up accounts for which I have been fully trained and am comfortable typing on.  I have great leads, great tech support and plenty of work.

Am I biased???  Yes I am biased.  I am grateful everyday that I was given the opportunity to work for Keystrokes and their team.  I am grateful that my company's owner is a fellow Transcriptionist that goes home at the end of the day and works like the rest of us so she knows what a hard job I have and I know that she is working to make things better for me because unlike other companies I have worked for she understands what it is I do.

Please accept my apologies that you were unhappy with Keystrokes and chose to move on before all of the promises came to fruition but don't begrudge those of us that stayed loyal and are now reaping the benefits of a GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT BENEFITS, LOTS OF WORK AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE GREAT THINGS TO COME!

I just want to say Thank you Lee, Jeff, Becky, Karyn, Martha, Annette, Paul and everybody else in the office for all that you do.

full-time referral!  The trick there is the new employee has to be meeting their minimum line requirement by 90 days. Good luck!

because, after looking at her reports, they see that she knows what she is doing!

You have no idea what dictators she got.  I was off QA after the first day at my current job.  One of the reports I transcribed on my first day I received back with a note about how exceptionally difficult the dictator was, and what a great job I had done.  QA had to leave a number of blanks in that one.  It was awful.  I still got released from QA, because that horrible, terrible dictator gave me a chance to show what I was made of.  If I could handle that guy, I could handle anybody, and I do.  Maybe you haven't reached the level of experience and competence to be released from QA in very short order, but there are those of us who certainly have.  Maybe some day you'll get there.  In the meantime you shouldn't insult those of us who have worked so hard to excel in this field. 

I do work 7 days a week.  I transcribe until 11 at night most of the time.  I work 3 transcription jobs.  I have absolutely no life, no quality time.

I make 8.25 cpl for one company

7.25 cpl for another

9 cpl for a third

The 8.25 cpl job is basically straight typing, no headers, no footers, no demographics to fill in.  I can crank out 500 lines an hour but I'm only given 500 lines-700 lines per day to transcribe.

7.25 cpl is VBL, ESL and small amount of work

9 cpl is lots of demographics to fill in, small little notes and not a lot of work but it takes double the time the 8.25 cpl job does.

I would give my eye teeth to make 12 cpl and be able to do 500 lines per hour at the same time.  Stopping and starting, filling in demographic blanks and forms takes up so much time that I'm lucky if I make $2200 a month but again, 7 days a week and no life away from the computer.

I would think unique is what you should care about.  I don't care for the fact that you are stating we don't care if you worked at Burger King because that is what a resume should consist of, truthful work history, education, experience. 

I would just like to add that you didn't mention that it's best if you do have private accounts to keep the names private because there are MTSOs out there that will try to steal your clients.  Therefore, I list specialty only.

I must be okay since I've gotten plenty of responses.  Maybe your resumes were from new MTs or non-MTs that were make believe, but usually an MT has a good grasp for a resume.  JMO.  Thanks for sharing!

Hey J - nice to see ya!!!  I second, third, fourth and fifth that.  Cardioscribes IS a very nice place to work AND has very nice people that work there.  So nice try.  It did not work.  All the naysayers are just good at being...... well.... Negative.  Have you ever heard the old saying? If you can't say anything nice, don't say it? 

I am with Jennifer, Shannon and Krissy all the way !!!! 

That had to be the rudest and nastiest person I have ever dealt with.
