Did anyone find the post for the scavenger hunt today? Was there one?
`
I've tried to find this pic somewhere. It was awsome!
Didn't realize it was Clay until I looked at the FACE.
So where would I get one? I've looked everywhere and can't find it.nm

WHAT did you do? I've been waiting to find out!
I right clicked and dragged a file from my desktop into ExpressScribe but it played back very distorted. Just wondering if there was a better way to do it.
I've done all work types also and always find myself making more
doing radiology than any other work type.

I think it's mainly because it's more repetitive than the other work types.

With your three years experience, you should do fine jumping back into it.

Good luck.
Now its like the hunt is on ....
for more ads LOLOL
Hunt Group
I have a 16-port digital server and need a hunt group for it.  I asked my local telephone service provider, and was told they have no idea what I am talking about.  I need this server set up right now!  Where do I get a hunt group?  Any help will be greatly appreciated!  Please email me.  Thanks in advance.  Molly
Hunt Group
Sorry Molly, I would think maybe you could ask a computer expert? Never heard of this.
Re: Hunt Group
My understanding is that a hunt group is a series of phone numbers and/or extensions that create "rollover" so physicians never get a busy signal when they call in to the system.  Maybe I was misinformed, but I was told the phone company would have to set this up.  If it is a computer set up instead, then back to square one.  Surely someone out there has set up one of these machines???  It's not rocket science.  This is supposed to be simple.  Thanks, Molly
Scavenger hunt
I found it!!!!!

Okay, I'm new to this.  What are you looking for in the scavenger hunt?  When I remember to check I have usually missed it completely.  Thanks.


update on my job hunt

ok ladies, I applied for a job at a hospital as a medical Transcriptionist (job was listed on their website and at the employment agency)  I updated my resume, typed up a cover letter and hand delivered it to the HR person.  She said she would put it in their system and I would be hearing from them, the job is open until filled. Great!  I completed their lengthy application and sent that it to the same HR person.  I did not hear anything and assumed with the holidays and all......patience...


 


Yesterday I received a call from them.  But get this - it was from a person who runs the dietary department.  They gave her the application.  She said since their is no MT job opening would I be interested in working as a dishwasher on weekends?  I was stunned to say the least.  She repeated that there was no MT opening but they really needed help.


 


I cannot make this stuff up!  What in the world?


 


The job is still posted on their website and at the employment agency.   Is this just too weird or what?


Twister, scavenger hunt!!

Good luck on the hunt of where to go....sm
I've lived all over north Georgia and am familiarizing my husband who hasn't seen all of the areas while we figure out where to move to. Our next move is the one to plan to be "it" - the place that I retire at when the time comes in a few years (he's already retired).
Is there no scavenger hunt post
again until this weekend... am I reading the post from the admin right from above? My brain is so completely fried that I just wanted to get a second opinion on this before I waste any time looking.
This could very well have been the hidden Scavenger Hunt post!
xxxxx

Entry-Level MTs

Hello to all!


Can anyone give any advice on where I may be able to go and find an entry-level MT position?  I greatly appreciate all the responses I hope to receive.  Thanks all!


Entry Level MT's
MedQuist hires entry levels with good testing scores. Fax them your resume. Its worth a try. Good luck
data entry

Has anyone done Data Entry jobs from home?  Thanks


 


this happens to me sometimes if my entry came from an enrich...sm
I would use the search function in the glossary viewer and edit the entry...if you edit it, it should work fine. Or, you can just make a new entry with the same sentence

HTH!
Entry level MT's
Hello.................I know all of you are tired of hearing about how hard it is to find a job at entry level.  I have two certificates from two separate programs.  I have been working for a clinic here where I live part time typing clinic notes.  It is only about two hours per day.  I found a lady on this site who said she would hire anybody if she could find somebody willing to work.  I emailed her and she promised to get me started asap.  That was a few months before Christmas and she still hasn't contacted me.  Does anybody know how to get started as entry level.  I truly need the work.  My part time is paying well but two hours a day is not very much.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.................
entry level
It is very true, I graduated college in 2004 and I am still looking to find a company that will hire me at the entry level.
We are more than data entry BUT...
Yes, they will still need us to copyedit and clean up the voice recognition and offshore "crude" product, but from what I've read on these boards, there's not going to be much money in this for MTs.

I too am thinking of leaving MT for another field. This summer my 15-year-old son got his first summer job as basically an unskilled laborer at minimum wage, and he was making quite a bit more per hour as I ended up getting, turning an Indy 500 ESL's mishmash into a perfect operative report. The day I learned that, I decided to start rethinking my career choices.

By the way, I'm one more experienced MT who finds it mind-boggling that people are still out there debating the merits of the various MT schools out there. Wake up and smell the coffee, people!
data entry
I agree. But don't you know, there's always someone lurking in front of their keybord waiting to belittle someone else's from-the-heart question??

Help with setting new entry in VPN
 I need some expertise... I have VPN for a company on desktop set up, need to create a new entry for another company.. .is that possible?  I have the file in the right folder (PCF or something close to that file) and did the wizard, but it says no valid ID when I know it is... what am I doing wrong?
It is an entry position.
I wouldn't consider it a crap job. It is an entry position. There is not a lot of stress unless you work in ICU. If someone codes then the unit clerk has to take notes while the patient is being worked on (at least where I worked). Other than that I enjoyed it. A lot of paper work, keeping the charts in order, answering phones, that type of stuff.
Entry-level position

Hi, I received my MT diploma in August of 2004 from The Career Development Institute.  My average grade was 97%.  I was very excited about finding an MT position but soon discovered that I was in a catch-22 situation.  I had the training and medical terminology education but no experience.  Every advertisement that I found required at least two years of working experience.  Is there any advice anyone could give me to get my foot in the door?  How do MT's begin working when they are new to the field?


Any info. would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks, Jane L. Creppel


Entry-level Position
Thanks so much! I appreciate the info.

Data Entry Jobs

Does anyone know where I can find information about legitamit companies that hire for data entry work at home. Looking for my daughter, who wants to stay home with her small child.  Thanks!


Is it transcribing or data entry?

Might have to do Ctrl + K and then Alt + B and your entry, then turn off.

Entry Level Jobs

Hi everyone! I have a quick question for anyone who has the time to answer. I am looking in to a career in the MT field. I have not started classes yet but I am going to check them out next week. I did a search for MT companies in my area. I noticed that on alot of their websites you had to have so many years experience before you could gain employment with them. If I decide to take classes in medical transcription, how likely is it that I will be able to find employment with someone on an entry level? I have heard from some people that it is nearly impossible to get a job without the experience even if you have certification. Is this true?


Shorthand users. Can you tell me how to set up an entry for...sm
today's date and yesterday's date so it will expand correctly?  TIA
Data entry position
My post did show so I will ask again...does anyone know where I can find a listing of jobs for data entry positions? 
Add the nonbreaking hyphen in your entry. sm
Add the nonbreaking space for your other entries.

In MS Word, the shortcuts are: Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen and Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar
I'd keep the habit but change the IT entry
so that it comes out the way you want it - make it adjust to your habits.
Flyingfingers, when you add or edit an entry...SM
there's a box on the bottom left called "Tags." At the end of your entry where you don't want a space, open that and insert "No Space."
certainly not data entry or typing,
my reward, aside from pay, is satisfaction that i am doing a very specialized job in an excellent manner. after 34 years, it seems more tedious and difficult, but i enjoy the work.
Pay Rate For Entry Level MT

Could someone give me an idea as to what an acceptable pay per line rate would be for an entry level position?


Is there any advice you can give a gal just starting out?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Have a great day!

Medical transcription isn't data entry, but you can
check with Career Builder and Monster and see what they have, you can Google for it and see if there is a board like this for data entry. 
You need to tick the formatted option just above your entry. nm
