The lead Editor was not the moody, hard to get along with person. Do not now if she is there now though. Stay away from the owner-bipolar/psycho personality.

Reponse -sm
Newsletters, direct marketing type things. blog entries at times...stuff like that. All my clients have come by word of mouth through friends and other clients. I don't do long-term projects but do peice work for a lot of people who need editing too.
I have gotten a reponse from every company I have sent a resume to
I'm just trying to decide which one will work best for me. My current company has been low on work all month, so I am looking elsewhere.
okay. I misread it--sm
I thought it said *you have to go to their train to pick up the loaded computer.* my mistake..sorry. had to ask. thanks
You misread this sm
I said 50 companies, not all of them were nationals.
In fairness to myself, I have had two longstanding IC positions. I always work more than one place, eggs all in one basket thing, and I know you understand this, or should. I'd work PT right along side of these long-held situations. I don't suffer fools gladly and I have a low quotient for putting with crap.
I have had recruiters lie to me. This has happened several times only to get in there and find the work stinks, the voice files are bad, I can't get IT help, the platform is unworkable and no help available, the QA person decides that name calling is appropriate, the owner loses the account, the owner decides that my paycheck is larger than hers and nixes my load, they expect me to work 24/7 or be on-call 24/7 or both, and the worst, as we all know, is running out of work.
Last year, I had one job I have had for years and I worked for 5 other places. One hired me and didn't train me. One hired me and I didn't have to be trained, I knew their system, but getting any type of help...well they never answered IM or emails, but if they needed help they were on the phone once in the middle of the night! Two used Bayscribe and that is fine, BUT one of them had her friend QA my work and when she got through it was full of errors and she would change terminology to English words. These counted against me as an MT and I told the manager about it and she blew me off and it continued to happen while I was berated about the quality of my work that had been through QA... The other I never did work for because of a paperwork problem on both our parts.
The last of these five was okay. It paid very well. I stuck this out for 6 long months. The QA staff was absolutely terrible, had had a total of 6 yrs MT between the two of them and didn't have a clue. The work itself was grueling, but I was doing fine with it...until they ran out of work again, and again and again about every 4 or 5 days nothing and I mean not one single job on the system for any of us all day.
In 2006, I didn't work a single PT job at all and in 2005 I didn't either. Those were good years because I had a lot of work and I was happy where I was at.
When you gotta make ends meet and you are raising kids alone you do what you gotta do.
Sorry - misread
I see it said 65 character. Would still do it for part-time work depending on other details of the job.
You obviously misread the post.
This is the very reason why I directed my post to MTSOs because so many MTs do not take the time to read things in order to get the true meaning of the post.
This in no way allows any snooping. It does not give the MTSO access to your PC. It is simply a diagnostic report that lays out the specs of ones PC. Nothing more.
I misread what you wrote and apologize.
My response below was a result of my misunderstanding!
My apologies, MtMommyof2!
You misread. The entire MT industry is a
out of hundreds of thousands. Most people that get hired for job get put to work as soon as possible. The MT industry 'hires' people, then twiddles around with them for weeks. The MT is always the very last one in the pecking order, even though they are the ones who actually do the work that the MTSO gets paid for.
You misread or misunderstood her post. It isn't
the bank she was worried about having the info but the MTSO having her banking information. Between no check, corrupted file that contained the contract, and the phone being disconnected I would be seriously concerned and keep daily watch on my account. Working without a signed contract isn't a good idea, though having a signed contract isn't foolproof either.
I misread your post - I thought it was about fraud
sorry.
oops - misread post- confused with another
nm
misread you, thought already working employee, sorry. NM
.
I misread that, phew! I couldn't believe the offshore rate was THAT high (yet anyway). nm

Previous employee
The pay is HORRIBLE!!!!
previous message said, you have
to go their to train, etc.
I should have said, you have to go there to train, etc. I think that is what the sheesh was about.
I did for about a day at one of my previous jobs. sm
My employer insisted on having it installed even though I already had cable internet. It was SO slow, unbelievably slow. I had to wait for the typing to catch up. If it's the only thing you can get, that's one thing -- but if you can get DSL or cable, don't do ISDN. A couple girls at my previous job still have it out of necessity, but I hated it.
Previous employee
I did not like it at all. I did not like their supervisor. She was always on vacation taking cruises, etc. I do not like MT World software. I also do not like typing pools.
Previous employee!
Is there any possible way we can corresponsd via email?
This is exactly what a previous poster was
talking about. These companies hold the contract over your head as use them as a scare tactic. Most of us are doing this to make money to pay bills, help our kids, etc. and I'll be damned if they are going to dictate to me how much money I can make when an opportunity comes along to work part time with more money.
Previous post
Attention to administrator.. Please remove my full name from the post I just put up. It should only have the initials JMD rather than a full name
previous post
Thanks for the info. !
Did you have previous insurance before? sm
Maybe I am not understanding, but I just got Blue Cross and they tried the 12 month wait on me too and would not cover a scan. When they found out I had no lapse in coverage with my previous insurance that I had before starting with them then they dropped the 12 month wait on me. So I am wondering if you had insurance up until before you got Blue Cross and if this would apply to you. 
Previous post
It is CMTI or Certified Medical Transcription Inc out of Florida -- sorry I omitted, but was really tired last night due to the heat here.
And according to previous employees .... sm
That is if you are lucky enough to actually receive a pay check from the company for work completed. 
might as well stay at your previous job
I ran out of work on my third day here. I'm extremely disappointed. I left my last job due to lack of work, and then I come here with high hopes and poof - I run out of work. I may see about returning to my previous employer.
previous email
There was a previous email by the owner earlier this summer in which she said May was the lightest month of dictation in probably the history of the company. I'm assuming other months recently have been light, too (economy?, split contracts with another company?), but it would be appreciated to have that addressed directly.
Um, that's exactly what was said in the previous post. nm
xxxxxxxxxxx
Sorry. Mean to sent previous question to respondent below.
Sorry about that
How bizarre! Vianeta was the previous sm
platform used by my employer. I actually liked it. There were some days when it was slow, but overall I would not be afraid to use it. Different companies use it, so it must be tweaked for the individual companies I would imagine. 
From multiple previous posts there is no
set line rate, several variables involved, but most say it is very hard to get lines and pay is low.
you can search previous posts, sm
no complaints here, but some people have had problems, work is there, pay is on time, they pay downtime if work does run out, insurance is good BCBS
If you check my previous posts...
I did explain my experience with them.
Previous posts were deleted (sm)
They were NOT talking about the resumes being fake. Some earlier posts had said they would post some names of applicants for you to ask them what the name of their company was because they weren't revealing their identity. They did list a few names but the post containing the names was soon deleted. So, they were weren't meaning the resumes were fake, they meant that they had listed fake names.
any previous or current MRC-MD employees here? sm
Can you give my any pros or cons? Is platform productive? Plenty of work? Alot of ESLs? Are they nice people to work for? thanks
What happened to previous post
What do you mean choose from the ones no one wanted. What account is this on? Initials only pls.

Update on previous post
Forget the above. Not with them already. Believe what you read in the archives. Trust other people's experience. Still waiting for my check as well. The account was fine, that was not the problem. Just to update and revoke the above. My conscience could not let this stay. Happy Holidays and good luck in your search for a great place to work.
tip for copying from previous reports
You can copy from some of *your* previous reports, and not just from a day back. Open a second window, log into Bayscribe (now you will have 2 Bayscribe windows open), go into My Account - Reports Summary - and then click on the alternate date box. A calendar will pop up. If you keep track of your reports and know that last week you did a report by Dr. X you can go in by date and pull up the reports you did and then copy from one into your other Bayscribe window.
If you need a sample or 2 from a difficult doctor that you haven't done before or maybe not this specific report type, ask your supervisor and she should be able to get you some.
Change previous post
Actually, need to alter my previous post slighlty - they pay 4 for VR/ 8 for straight for Editscript and, I think, a little bit more for their other platform (do not remember the name). They actually have one of the best line rates for VR that I have come across.
I agree with the previous post
other than if you were working at McDonald's with nobody there to train you and you are just standing there waiting, you ARE STILL GETTING PAID.
I don't have an answer for your previous question............sm
but I'll talk to ya, GP!
Sorry to hear you are caught in the blizzard of '09. My friend's sister lives in Fayetteville and says it is pretty darned rough up there. Stay warm and keep safe. Hope you will have power back on soon.
Answered you on a previous post but way
down the page and did not see that. I have been in this field of work now for almost 40 years. I do VR and love it and make what I want but having said that, a person that allows someone to walk all over them is responsible, not the MTSOs. If more would just revolt, they might see a change but probably not, gone on too long now. People sit around and wait for work for days, weeks? What the heck is up with that? It is because people here do not want to give up the comfort of home and don’t search for other employment.
Should clarify my previous post above
my speed in straight transcription is 130-140, heavens knows what it is with editing.
I agree with the previous poster and
if you use DocQScribe and offer statutory employment, contact me.
Get a grip - The previous ISR rate was 30% cut sm
of your base rate. This is 7% more, hardly HUGE. And way better than the flat line rates that most places are paying.
Same for TransTech - have access to previous reports

Has anyone ever gone back to work for a previous company?
I was just wondering if any of you out there had ever gone back to work for a company that you had worke at before. What was your experience in doing so? Is it worth looking into?
Thanks for any help.
Line counting program. I'm sure there are previous
posts regarding this issue, however, I really don't have the time right now to do a search for them. I was wondering what the best line counting program is, where I can get it from, etc. I have Windows XP and use Microsoft Word 2003 if that helps any at all. I would very much appreciate anyone's input on this subject. TYIA.
Bad experience at previous jobs does not justify
x
Your previous posts with yelling(& in mind's eye

oppps quit instead of quite in the previous message.
Sorry for the typo, I was typing as fast as my brain would go ;)
