No, I did not go through their mentoring program. However, it is an excellent program. Be sure to give them a call!

    Mentoring
    Try Meridian or Sten-Tel. If you are a CMT try sending a cover letter for her resume to Maureen Martin (mmartin@meridianhcs.com
    AIM Mentoring anyone?
    Please tell me any detail you know about AIM Mentoring.  I am about to make the leap but I have never heard a word about them.  I would truly appreciate any info.  Thank you.
    Mentoring Programs can be

    awful experiences, depending on which company you work for. My past experience was with Heartland and the mentoring program there was obnoxious with a capital O. I had to leave because of family issues, and I learned nothing while in the mentoring program. My general knowledge of the MT field, what I learned through general life experience or through MT training, certainly NOT from the mentoring program, is what kept me at the job. Had I had to rely soley on the mentoring program at Heartland, I would have been one of the many in my group that I just recently learned were hastily fired now that the company is changing hands. In your own situation, don't feel too bad if the company you applied to doesn't get in touch with you as soon as you had hoped or at all. The universe is sending you a message. Try, try again and NEVER give up.


    Mentoring Programs
    OSi has an excellent program for "newbies." You can apply through their website, http://www.ositranscription.com, being sure to include your school and certificate information.

    If I'm not mistaken, Spheris has a similar program, as well. You might want to check with them. http://www.spheris.com

    Best of luck to you!
    Don't know about the mentoring program but...(sm)

    I've been there 2 years. At first it was great. Lots of encouragement and help. Now it's so-so. I was hired for set hours and one thing they insist on it working your scheduled hours. They also insist on hitting the 12,000 lines per pay period.   I don't work weekends unless the accounts are getting backlogged.


    Pay is the same as other companies. They always pay on time and it's direct deposit if you want.


    They use Extext, which I like, and there are a LOT of ESLs, also like other companies. Some are good, some are bad. It depends on your account.


    I'm sure you will be getting a lot of answers to your message, some pro, some con, so it would have to be your decision.


    AIM mentoring program

    I have over 20 years experience as an MT/editor and answered AIM's job posting yesterday.  I got a response within a few hours.  I was a little concerned about not being paid for six weeks and had already decided that I would not agree to such terms.  This morning I began researching the archives for information, and I would encourage all of you to do the same before applying.  Do you know how much I appreciate all of you and the effort you put forth into saving all of us readers from potential disaster?  Thank you very much!  I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of my colleagues a very Merry Christmas!  


    I would like to apply for the mentoring program

    I would like to apply for the mentoring program at Heartland, but have heard horror stories about them.  Would anyone out there apply for Heartland if you were a newbie trying to get a foot in the door.  Also,  are there any happy MTs at Heartland.  I have searched the archives and only find very few.  Any infor would be helpful.


     


    Thanks


    MT mentoring programs (employment)

    Hi,


    Can someone tell me if or what they know about MT mentoring programs? I'm being considered for a couple through well-known companies that were actually referred to me. Then I heard from someone else that you have to be cautious because someone they knew wasn’t paid. I've been looking for a job a long time now and I was almost hired. It fell through because they couldn't hire after all. Like I said, I'm waiting on some feedback from a couple of mentoring programs but it will be in January. The last few weeks I've had to put MT employment searching on hold because of the upcoming holidays; Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. I would appreciate any feedback on this thanks.

    Brenda, Thank you for the advice. All I want is training from a legitimate and accredited school and to work for a legitimate company? Is that to much to ask?
    Anyone Have Knowledge of Heartland's Mentoring Program??

    I have been offered a position with Heartland in their mentoring program.  Anyone have experience with them?? I want to hear the good AND the bad before making a decision! I'm hoping this will be better than what I've found so far, which is an apprenticeship and I am NOT making enough to survive lol


    thanks


    Just do they offer a training/mentoring program

    LOL!!! Great reading!! Mentoring program straight to QA at
    ewwwwwww!
    The mentoring program does not pay 8-1/2 cents per line. Believe it is like 6 cents.
    n/m
    I also enjoy QA and enjoy the mentoring aspect
    as well as the contact with the clients and MTs. I feel it is very rewarding personally. I also enjoyed being an MT (I earned between $30-$40 an hr way back when but those were the days). I was fast and burned my body out by being fast. Because I was fast, QA only pays me about half of what I earned as an MT and I only had to work as an MT for half the time that I have to work as QA.

    I do understand there are different personalities and if the above poster does not enjoy QA, I definitely would not care what people think. I would get back into MTing. We have to try and be happy as this job no matter what you do can be a very tedious one.
