    It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
    living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
    About MQ-A great place to be
    I worked for MQ for 7 years and then left to work for another MT Company, thinking I would be better off. To make a long story short, after 3 months I am back with MQ and very happy to be back where I belong. The grass always looks greener, as they say, and when I compare my experience of the last 3 months to my 7 years with MQ, there is no comparison. I have seen messages about no work in certain offices, especially Amherst, but our office seems to be doing well. They are also organized and very considerate to deal with. You can be sure that problems exists with any of these services. Some MTs are hired and then never hear another word from the company. A friend of mine was told she would have a job when the equipment was updated and that was 4 months ago. They are still giving her the run around. So, let's not assume that MQ is the only one with problems; in this business they exist all over. As for me, I am very happy with MQ and hope to be there at least 7 more years.
    eBay is a great place for used...
    equipment, and that's where I got my C-phone.  They are also sometimes available in the classifies here on the board.  Good luck!
    Great place to work! sm

    They are very helpful and encouraging and give you plenty of time to get up to speed.  I have been with other national companies and they are the best.  You'll be happy there! 



    That's a great place to start...
    The majority of Escription accounts I have been offered started are anywhere from 2.5 cpl (insulting) to a max of 4 cpl. So I'd say take it..
    Scriberight is a great place!
    I've been working there for a while now, and I love it there. We are on EMR system now and it's fantastic. I've never found Lisa to be anything short of wonderful. I really can't recommend them enough.
    And its gonna kill you to post on the Company board rather than the main board?

    I agree. It's a great place to work,
    most places are very slow around the holidays. And the owner is a great lady.
    You're welcome. It's a great place to live!

    Except in February.  Dang it's cold in February.


    Seriously though, I don't lock my doors and if I need to find the car keys, they're in the ignition.


    The way I see it, if them fools need thaht cah baahd enuff, might's well let 'em go ahead and have it. 


    Transcend is a great place to work
    I can't believe all this negativity! I just love my job with Transcend. From the recruiter to my TL and ROM every single thing I have been promised has happened! I'm very happy! Yes, you do have to produce - but what MLS position don't you? Transcend also gives you the tools you need to succeed and will help you get better, faster and making more $. Stop bashing this company! They truly are awesome!!!! And the promote from within! They are so big on internal growth!!!!
    Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
    My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.

    Myrtle Beach is a GREAT place for a vacation

    See inside web site. GREAT place for all equipment!
    http://www.newegg.com
    Awhile back on this board someone shared a place where
    they would tell you what hardware your computer was running.  I can't find it and need it again.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.
    It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
    Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything!
    Try Softscript. They work with new MTs. Great place to at least get a foot in the door!

    I look at the jobs board too...
    just because I am bored.  The sad thing is the number of jobs seems to have decreased and it seems to be the same rotten places advertising for MTs over and over.  Most of these I have already been hired by and can understand why they have to keep a permanent job posting here ... they just plain suck!  If you are actually looking for a job, are an MT with some experience and willing to put up with a lot of crap you can probably get hired by one of these places as most have to hire 100 MTs to find one who will stay!  Good luck!

    Saugatuck, MI is great dog friendly place if you want to go N. Try Lake Shore Reality. Google em.

    Great paying jobs
    I'd love to know where to get one of those.  I'd go there in a heartbeat.
    Great advice for 2 jobs
    Wow! I am about to work almost the exact same schedule and your advice really helps. I am going to think strongly about moving my second job to a different room, so it will give me a fresh outlook. Also, the idea of having a whole day off really helps too to rest up for the rest of the week. Finally actually sleeping from 7 to 12 (for me) in the morning will be a challenge, but otherwise I won't sleep at all! You made it work, and thanks for your example!
    Where are all of these GREAT JOBS that everyone is finding?

    I have been following the Job Seekers Board and other MT jobs boards very closely, have applied at a few, tested, passed, etc.   Apparently, I am delusional, because I am not finding these GOOD jobs!  I do not think 8.5 cpl is GOOD.  I do not think being told to work a weekend day is GOOD.  I do not mind working a schedule, but having to work every weekend?????


    I have been an MT for about 15 years now.  I make 10 cpl and despite the job I am at right now... (yes, the Q).  I am sick of ASR and sick of watching my work go to India. 


    Having said that, someone please tell me where all of these jobs are that pay close to what I make, happen to be US PROUD, and not required to work every blessed weekend.  


     


    When applying for jobs on board

    I am back in the "look for another job" phase of my life which I thought had ended.  After several years, I am back in the market though and have responded to ads posted on this message board.


    Do you ladies and gentlemen typically include a cover letter stating you situation and stats, equipment, etc? 


    And, with regard to equipment, if we do not have what is requested but are fully willing and able to purchase it to be able to work for the job being applied for, should we state this?  It appears that jobs posted are asking for specific equipment and that is not a problem other than getting it shipped to us.  Unless they want us to hit the ground running these days.


    Thank you for your time, comrades in arms.


    jobs on seeker board

    I am wondering, are most of the jobs at http://forum.mtstars.com/seeker/ for at-home positions? As opposed to working on site?


    Thanks.


    The job seeker's board has a lot of local jobs
    advertised all over the country. I don't see her making that kind of money as a home-based MT, but she would not have travel expenses, etc. Good luck.
    Focus Infomatics has another ad on the jobs board

    again


    The Job Seekers board shows jobs that are available. You can
    post your resume securely in the Resume Bank.  If you do not want to give a lot of detailed information, you can post with the name Available MT or something of that nature and in the body give a brief description of your experience.  When you enter your email address it is not visible to potential employers, but they can send you an email.  Only when you reply will they know your email address.  It's a great way to put yourself out there without COMPLETELY putting yourself out there.  If an employer is looking for someone with your skills and experience, they will contact you.  Good Luck!
    Try this....I found it in the Jobs board, but it is from June.

    I am a medical Transcriptionist who has over 15 years of experience and also have taught medical transcription and provided quality evaluations for graduating students at the college level. I am in the process of revamping my medical transcription business and have a spot for two either graduates or soon to be graduates to intern.

    The internship will be paid at a starting rate of 0.06 cpl (65 char with spaces) while in training and then will go to 0.07 cpl. This is an wonderful opportunity to gain much needed experience as well as allowing you the opportunity to work from home.

    Just reply by email if you are interested and tell me a bit about yourself for consideration. You will need a USB foot pedal and either cable or DSL. Also need to have a medical spellchecker and a willingness to learn and retain.

    Please specify hours (times) and days available in your response.

    Good luck to you.



    There's a board specifically for these types of jobs
    Call centers and different types of phone work. From what I've seen, if you have a quiet environment and flexibility this is a good job to make extra money.
    You put them on the company board, not the main board. They are still there.

    The company I work for has jobs sm
    posted every week, even offering jobs that pay by the hour, but there is NO WORK for the transcriptions who already work there! This morning there are 2 jobs.
    two jobs in one company, is it legally possible? sm

    is it possible to work in a company with two jobs at different shifts?  like for example, I work as a Transcriptionist in the surgery dept and then there's an opening for a different position in a different department.  can i apply for that job without jeopardizing the other?  Can they accept me if I applied for that job?  need advices.  thanks a lot! 


    Yes, you can work 2 jobs for the same company.
    The only catch is that if the hours for the 2 jobs combined are over 40 per week, that company has to pay OT for you and most companies won't allow you to work 2 jobs within the company for this reason. When I worked at the hospital, I held 2 part-time positions with them and never had a problem.

    Search on the Companies or New Student board for course info. Jobs are available all over the US and
    .
    Did you try Chronicle Transcripts on the jobs board? Or go to mtjobs.com. Lots of CA companies. nm
    .
    Been interviewing for jobs this week, today a company
    confirmed what we have been saying all along, they send the good dictation overseas and leave the crap for us.  
    But can't a company say I need these jobs by X time? And then the IC can accept or decline?

    Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
    wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.
    Great company
    Go for it. They are a great company to work for. Great benefits, wonderful people, flexible, plenty of work, direct deposit.
    Great Company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I currently work for this company, and I can honestly say that this is the first MT job that I have ever looked forward to doing every day. The work is great, the pay is great, and the boss is great. I don't have to share "pool" work with a bunch of night-feeding sharks that eat it all up before the sun rises, I don't have to punch a time clock, and my paycheck comes precisely when it is supposed to. I have answers to my questions whenever I need them, as well as encouragement. I would say to those of you who are complaining about, but have never worked for, this company and it's owner, maybe you should find something more productive to do with your time.

    I tried selling on ebay for years.  It was kind of a hassle.  Once I cleared the clutter out of my house, I had to find merchandise to sell.  There are a LOT of people out there claiming to be wholesalers, drop shippers or resellers who are nothing more than con artists.  I tried selling craft kits and books purchased direct from the manufacturers/publishers, but you just can't get a decent wholesale discount unless you buy in huge volume.  Plus, the prices on ebay were often cheaper than the wholesale price.  I used to go to yard sales late in the day and offer to buy their remaining stuff at a cheap rate.  I made OK money at that part of it with the collectibles and used books, but my house got cluttered up with other people's junk.  I also signed up for Avon and scented candles with the intent of selling online, but later I found out they had stinky rules about online selling.  Other people do it, but you can lose your account if they catch you.  And you have to sell a lot to make any decent money.  You're also competing with ex-reps who went out of business and are trying to liquidate their inventory.  Plus, I had nowhere to store everything.  It's a hassle finding shipping supplies, although you can order boxes and labels for free through USPS.gov and charge everyone for priority shipping.  Plan on driving to the post office nearly every day.  And keep good records on what you purchase and sell to figure your cost of goods sold for the IRS.


    You might enjoy it.  Give it a try, but start out slowly.  Use as many templates as you can and prefigure shipping or you'll get a bunch of emails from people.
