been convicted of a felony in the last 5 years or 10 years? I do not remember but most of them have a time period on them. I do not think they say have you ever been convicted of a felony. If it is 5 years you are okay. If it is 10, you are just under that. Have you been told that you were turned down because of the felony because I know people who have gotten jobs without problems even though they are felons.

VR applications
I do legal/law enforcement work and have been kicking this same idea around... What program do you use and any thoughts on if it would work for this type of situation?  My wrists and just done at the end of an interview.  You have to type every single sound, stutter, repeat word, blah, blah, blah and even if it just caught half of it, that would greatly reduce fatigue and increase productivity.  I would greatly appreciate any info you could share
Responses to applications?
When I did recruiting oftentimes I would not respond. If I have 99 applications, 75 of them substandard...well, truth be told I'm not going to take up my valuable time responding to the people who don't cut it. My attention is on the 24 who just might. After all, it's all about being paid on who I hire, not who I don't.
Resumes and filling out applications
Hi all, I'd like to know if any of you have run into the same problem as I have when filling out applications and what you did about it. I have, from time to time, left MT work and applied for other jobs outside the home. Over the last few years, I have worked for a few MT services for a short time. I don't even remember the dates that I started working for each one and stopped. Some were so short (a few months) because it didn't work out for some reason (job wasn't as described or some other reason). How do you handle something like that on an application? You don't want to appear as though you job hop, but you know as well as I do how some services are and you CAN'T stay any longer working for them. I'm at a loss now, how to handle this on a job application.

Thanks for any help or advice.
And I can become a nurse without training because I have experience in Band-Aid applications!! nm

Yep, for instance,

I work on a particularly difficult account, and my supervisor asked me which physicians I would prefer to type and which I would not and she would allocate me only those MDs I chose to type.  Although I refused her, saying this was not fair to my fellow MTs, I am sure there are those that took her up on her offer.


at least once instance ur wrong

My hsp brought back their work into the hsp 4 years ago because work was so bad.  The dept is growing. We are taking on local accounts. Soon they are going to have to start hiring because of explosive growth of work. We work on production from home with full benefits.  All is not lost, but I agree things look grim in the overall.


 


 


In this instance, I would charge per report.

Call me a cynic, but I trust no one!  If you charge per report, it's cut and dried.  You don't have to worry how they are figuring lines and they don't have to worry how you are figuring lines.  And it will be easier for you to keep track of the number of reports you do in a day versus manually counting your lines at the end of every day.


JMO. 


This is ONE instance where I'd have to give MTSOs . sm

the benefit of doubt in their favor, although I am not defending them in any way, shape or form.


I would think just the contrary:  Withholding or denying you work hurts them as well, since they lose payment for your work from their clients.  More importantly, witholding work from the MT highly INCREASES the likelihood that the MT will file for UE to begin with - a no-win situation for them.  First, they lose income you could be earning them from their clients if you did have more work, not to mention having to pay into part of your benefits.  


Having said that, it benefits them if you did have more work as it might relate to getting UE - more income for THEM if they give you adequate work - but mainly, it would decrease the likelihood that you'd be filing for UE in the first place. 


At our company, errors are weighted. For instance...

a simple "a" instead of "an" would only be a 0.5 error, whereas an incorrect medication or such that could directly impact patient care would be 2.0.  No errors are more than 2.0, and we do not deduct for blanks etc. 


I think it is some of the emoticons, but maybe only the first instance of them opening or posting.

As a for instance, 225 lines/hr at 8 cpl would be $18/hr. Your mileage may vary. nm

Not in that instance, but I do get Microsoft errors in the file

The 1cpl amount was just a 'fer instance'.
if one gets anything AT ALL. MT is a dead-end job because if you're good at it, you get passed over for the few 'promotions' available because they need you on the front lines, making money for the suits.
Couldn't the QA just check the info and just get it done in one instance rather than foward to QC
Just seems a little crazy to me.....
Absolutely. Such a time-saver, and in this instance, money saver. nm
