Who hires newbies?
work at home only.
Hires newbies
Allegiant and Sound Medical Transcription. Both are very nice owners/companies to work for/with. Good luck!
MT Solutions hires newbies....
mmm
Company I think hires newbies and trainees
http://www.qedtrans.com
Medquist hires newbies. I don't feel
but for just starting out, I think it would give you a good base. You would learn a variety of work types and specialties and get the often-required 3 years' experience to be able to move on.
I would never recommend MQ to someone with more than 3 years experience as I don't feel they appreciate nor pay well for that experience. However, for the newbies, I think it's a good place to start. You can also get benefits if you need and there are monthly bonuses.
I think New England Medical Transcription in Maine hires newbies. nm
I don't think all the newbies are getting thee good work
When I started there, I didn't get all the good work. I had just as many ESLs as I did good dictators, so I don't think your argument holds water.
MQ is hiring a lot of newbies right now and I am gettng a lot of work dumped on me so what can I
say. How many newbies can you hire that cant do these big hospitals before the quality goes through the roof. You can break jobs on DQS to get rid of them.
Can anyone tell me which companies other than the big one hires MTs for DQS and how are they to work
for. Any opinions. Nice to work for with decent work or not so much.
TransHealth does not send work offshore. Hires only US MTs. nm
Oracle Transcription hires ICs. Lots of work right now, too.
I've been working for them for five years.
etranz
as far as I know, they are still in business and still doing the same lying, cheating, etc to people.
old hires get double pay; new hires now get 4 cents more;
nm
Does anyone know if Futurenet hires part time weekend work? (nm)
Anyone know of a place that hires for over-flow work (besides people in India!!)
Just a few hours a week?
Have to agree. Scratching for work at times. Don't want to share with any more new hires if I d
Sorry if that sounds selfish, but I don't think new hires want to come on board and find the pickings are slim right now either.
Not true at all ... etranz uses it,
x
Boy, I wonder if he is related to her from etranz
sounds like there is more than 1 crook in this in this business.
Etranz uses it too ... it's not exclusive to MDI-MD. nm
x
MDI-MD uses Bayscribe ... so does etranz. nm
Not sure if you need bennies or not, but QT hires IC and has plenty of work and pays gross line! sm
You can apply at www.qtmedical.com It's a great place to work. Pay is always on time, always correct, recognized for holidays. They pretty much leave you alone and let you work. Very, very rarely run out of work. Depending on experience, pay usually starts around 7 to 8 cpl (gross lines) :)
etranz - any info on this company? TIA
Saw their post on MT daily and was wondering how they are to work for.
etranz in GA is still bouncing paychecks. sm
I just got an email from a friend/former co-worker of mine who also worked for etranz in Georgia. She had over $1000 in checks bounce. It took her almost 3 months to get them, finally did and now they have bounced! Please, if any of you MTs know of anyone who is looking for work, please be sure to steer them away from etranz. They make their ads sound great with weekend incentives and higher line rates, but getting your paycheck is nearly impossible....and when you do get it - it may bounce.
Please pass the word around about this unprofessional, unethical company!
WARNING - etranz is a nightmare
Once again, another payroll check from etranz returned NSF. I left this so-called company, but I am still waiting for three paychecks, which if they ever do come I'm sure they will be worthless. This company is delusional. They do not understand why everyone keeps leaving and they tell themselves that each former MT had a "story" or were non-productive, etc. This is far from the truth. The truth is this company is based upon lies and they apparently have no money to pay their employees, so they continuously make up more lies and say your check is coming, that they had problems with the bank, that they refinanced their homes and have the money and intend to pay on time.
They have never paid on time . . . and most of the time when you finally get a paycheck, weeks late, it is NSF. They don't care! Meanwhile, you have to try to fix everything with your bank, etc. and figure out how to get your money.
Stay far far away from this one!
full circle/eTranz/etransplus
eTranz is not eTransPlus, and one has nothing to do with the other. eTranz is/was the problem company.
MQ newbies
Sorry, dear, no matter what you say, you lack experience. Therefore you may have been good in school, but how do you rate in the real world?
Newbies
I'm currently teaching a MT class at a local community college and was wondering what companies hire newbies. Thanks.
Hey, Newbies at TT...
I got a call from TT yesterday. Was working and will call back today. Just wanted to touch base with some of yall to see how you all are doing and if you felt your decision was a good one.
Take care, will keep you posted.

OSi is for newbies
OSi has a mentor program for newbies because that is basically what their company is made up of. Unless you wanted to be spied on with their very own instant message program - where they will call you if they don't see you on line - and also they record Keystrokes and treat you like you are 2 years old, you don't want to work for OSi. They also call you on your days off to work but you aren't allowed to claim it on your time sheet. In other words they want you to work OT but not record your hours to do so. Also a very demeaning QA department. QA is very inconsistent because QA consists of newbies itself and half the time their edits are wrong. You will get emails from QA audits with stupid graphics with (good job) and stuff for toddlers and all of this coming from newbie MTs who happened to end up in QA dept. Mature people would not put junk like that in a business email or any email for that matter. Very poorly run company who recently partnered with a company with multiple offshore interests. OSi already offshored the easy work and with the new partner it is likely to offshore even more. Bad news unless you are just starting out MT'ing. Also they have just stopped paying any extra cents per line on holidays unless you meet almost impossible requirements. That was the last straw for me. I could not make it to even 1 year with OSi and because I saw the light I can actually spend the holidays with my family now because I got out in time. Never have I seen a company run in such a horrible manner as OSi. They offer a ridiculous sign on bonus because most people don't last long enough to even receive it. Go elsewhere, almost anyplace is better.
M-TEC Newbies On the Way?
So what will happen when they guarantee those people coming out of M-Tec a job at lower rates?
newbies and QA....sm
You have to differ between work done by US newbies and Indian newbies. If the QAing of the work your newbies are producing and you have to QA is so bad, I am sure that you are QAing work that has been done by offshored MTs.
Any advice for newbies?
I've checked the job bank and everyone wants experience. Will anyone hire students? I'm finishing up an 18-month course with M-TEC. I've been sending resumes regardless of experience required.
hiring newbies
Hello,
I just read your post and I do not agree with you. I am a newbie who was hired by MQ to do the big hospitals and I am good. I just quit MQ because the QA was lousy and I had to jump from account to account. Then, on many ocassions I had no work available when I logged onto my shift. I respect your experience, but I know my quality is good because I graduated from the TOP school in the industry that demands it. Please don't lump all newbies together and do not blame it on JUST newbies. Thank goodness I took my NEW self and sloppy QA some where else.
Hiring newbies?
Are there any companies out there that hire newbies? Looking for an acquaintance.
Some newbies have to accept 6 cpl unfortunately - any sm
other experiences with Shapin? Thanx.
OSi is geared for newbies
It overall is especially good for newbies and has excellent mentor program. There is a massive amount of turnover with this company as those with a lot of experience don't tend to stick around, however it is probably the best bet for someone starting out. They can gain some good experience and training and then move on to a better company with better management, etc.
keystrokes newbies
please tell us how it is going so far
Not all newbies are that ignorant!
Those that have come from reputable schools have the reference books they need when they start out and know how to use them. When I was a newbie a couple years ago fresh out of M-TEC, I was off QA within a month. I have never received a QA score lower than a 98%. That's because I know how to use my references, take the time to do it, and leave a blank rather than guess. Not all newbies are naive enough to think the internet is reliable or are too cheap to invest in a good reference library.
Oh yea OSI newbies are promoted to QA too!!!
Seeing is believing.
OSI is best for newbies or those with NO self-esteem
.
Try OSi...they have a program for newbies
xyxy
OSI is best for newbies, not experienced MTs
.
Is there any 1 year or so newbies out there?
The reason I ask is because I am just graduating and am looking for people who have recent feedback on companies to work for. Who is good with newbies, as far as QA help, answering questions, being patient while you are learning everything, etc? Some of these platforms can be confusing?!  And then the account specifics, please tell me it gets easier!!?? Also, do you know which ones give you specific accounts to work on, at least until you get a little experience under your belt? Thanks for any info!
info for newbies
I was looking for job listings in my local newspaper (online) and there was 1 ad for Transam Associates. They are apparently in many cities across the US and when I went to their web site, it says they train newbies for free. Just thought I would mention this so anyone who is interested could check it out. They have a sample dictation on their site that you listen to and then send it in an email, or you they say you can send a sample of your recent work in an email. Dictation is computer-generated, very easy, about 30 seconds long. I have 27 years experience, so I was not interested in this company, but thought some of you out there might be.
yep and the newbies haven't ever sm
been around or worked in MT long enough to make any real money! If they had been in this business long enough this wouldn't even be an issue. They are going to eventually be losing their jobs just like everybody else.
Personally, even with VR being so popular, I still stay there are good jobs (maybe not as many) out there for GREAT experienced MTs! You have to look hard and long for them but they are there.
I feel sorry for these newbies who don't know the way it can be for a good MT or the way it was or whatever. That's why they want to argue. This is all they know. We know what the money use to be like and what it can be like if you look long enough now. I sure would rather do 300 lph even at 8 cpl than even 600 lph at even 5 cpl (which most aren't making 5 cpl). I cannot imagine anything more boring or counter productive than VR! VR is just another way for these folks to totally forget that there is a patient behind the report and just reduce all this to lines and filling in blanks, no real knowledge.
No I don't tell newbies to google, I sm
tell them to look it up in their REFERENCE library. No one wants to do that anymore. Kind of like learning to use a calculator but never learning to do the math yourself!
I would recommend it to newbies. Just not for us
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'm a QA, and if you think newbies fresh out of
school are ready to be turned loose on VR and are of the same quality as experienced MTs, you're sadly mistaken. MT schools only give you the basics. As the above poster said, with VR you really have to know your stuff even better because it's too easy for mistakes to fly by.
Hiring Newbies
There's a couple out there right now considering newbies. There's one on this board, job seeker's, and another one at the other popular board. Good luck. I was fortunate to go to Rodeer in Atlanta fresh out of community college. That was the best decision I made. It was tough, but the experience was worth it.
Good luck.
ASR and VR probably where the newbies go and you get the junk dontcha think
:
First, newbies complain about the fact
...then, when someone does hire them, the whine and cry that the account is too difficult. No wonder MTSOs prefer not to deal with newbies. This is a good way for you to learn.
