is advertising and research the companies that seem to have the best to offer and find out if they truly are the ones with the best to offer.  In this business, there are a lot more considerations when looking for a job than just cents per line.


Good Luck!

    They must, just saw an ad on the job seeker board for it, but
    its too bad they don't offer their current employees an opportunity to learn it, or at least announce the job internally if someone is interested.  This is the WORST company for any kind of promotion and absolutely no communication with its employees.  Once you are put on a platform or on an account you will die there cuz they won't let you move.  Team leaders suck, too. 
    Job Seeker's Board.....
    Radiologist Transcriptionist Needed.  Thanks. 
    They have an ad on the Job Seeker's Board here. sm

    just look to the left of your screen towards the top and click on "job seeker's board".  Scroll down and you will see an ad for WMX ER work.  Good company, good bennies, good people, been with them 5 years. 


    Ignore the grumpies.  I don't like the search function here either.  To get more current stuff you can click on the "related" link in blue on each message or go to the top of the last few current pages of the Main board or the Company board.  Do Ctrl + F to bring up the search box .  Good luck.


    There are some on the Job seeker's board sm
    but many are old and quite a few are base in India
    There are some on the job seeker board.
    I just went up from MT to QA about 3 yrs ago.

    That is the red note on the job seeker's board.

    Did anyone see the posting on the job seeker's board with
    the ortho emphysis? 
    Check out Job Seeker's Board

    Sheri...does that mean that the job seeker's board will have sm...
    companies posting jobs that off-shore transcription?  I am trying to find an office that does not off shore due to the difficulty of the reports left over for the US MT, so I need to be careful if that is the case.  Thank you!
    should have read except on job seeker board
    except solicitations on Job Seeker boards here for MT/coding etc. 
    Job seeker's board question please

    What happened to all the jobs in the "job bank"?  There's only one in there. 


    Also if you open the adds up and click on "for information" it goes to the info for that one companythat has the add, not even the right company. 



    Is this normal pay? On Job Seeker's board (sm)
    They are looking for an Ortho QA Editor and after training they are paying $11.50 an hour? $11.50 an hour?  $11.50 an hour?  Why not just work in fast food?
    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.
    I believe they are posted on "Job Seeker's Board"

    I did a little research on this board recently and sm
    then I bid on and won a 10-book lot of Stedman's.  According to what I read on here and the condition of the books, definitely the Orthopaedic and Rehab book.

    Why not start your own board just for your friends?
    I have never cared for the way this whole site is set up. I would rather see a post move to the top when someone posts something new to it because a post can get lost real quick when it doesn't. However, I just frequent a different site that is more suited to my tastes and only stop by here now and again to see what's going on.

    If enough of you don't like the new rules (and I certainly understand your complaints), maybe you could look into start a Yahoo group or something. I think it's free (though don't quote me on that!) and that way you could still talk to everyone you like to here but you don't have to worry about the cumbersome rules and how you post and whether a post will be deleted or locked.

    Just an idea. :)
    There is a job on the job board - start Immediately.
    Check out Transform also, I think they want someone immediately.

    I agree, this board does not belong to her,
    after all it is a 'world help board!'H

    Had she really in mind to help the newbies, she would have formulated it in a different way.

    It is always the tone that makes the music.
    Okay Sandra! We all agree you need to be removed from the board.
    Hurting peoples feelings are uncalled for and just plain rude. You are a troll. You are very sad sad person who has no social graces whatsoever.
    I agree, getting ready to search out another transcription board
    as this one has completely gone to the dogs, rarely does anyone go to the other boards that we are constantly being directed to, that is why the main board was so much fun, now it seems there is a place for everything but not here, I will probably be mosing on too. See ya
    I agree. And as someone posted on another board here, it's hard to care about it when the dictat
    Being these are pretty darn important documents, it's equally as important for us to get it right as it is for them to slow down so we can truly actually hear what they're trying to say. It's a joint effort that often falls short on their end for whatever reason.
    ER work seeker
    I am seeking IC status also typing ERs.

    Seems like since I've switched to DQS, production has gone down. Not able to use normals like before on Word... it's frustrating.

    Thanks!
    Job seeker says "premium" pay for ESL - that's

    If you look under job seeker's on the left
    lots of posts.  Don't know why you need a job bank AND those posts. 
    Keystrokes has an ad on the job seeker's
    board.  It pays 8 cpl.  You should check it out.  I'm not sure if they do voice recognition, but if you can avoid those companies that do, you'll make better wages on straight transcription.  Just send your resume to some of the companies that are advertising and see what pans out.  Decide a rate for yourself and don't accept anything lower than that.  Decide if you want employee status or IC/statutory. 
    Agree! Board is like chatting. Work requires more brain cells.

    so true, but she could post on Job Seeker's
    Board for a job not yet really available like some MTSOs do, and then give you the runaround when nothing is available. It's happened to me a couple times, now I'm suspicious about that.
    I must be a bitter MT..Check out the ad on job seeker's

    Obviously Indian-based, but they want to train you to be an MT..check this part out..


    Transcription is fun for the right person as it allows you to write and if you love to write, then it is an enjoyable career. Some people who do not like writing because they are not creative still enjoy this medical online profession. Even people who hate writing like this profession because it allows for working at home on a flexible schedule.


    OKAY.. what planet are they from..Since when is transcription fun LOL...and I'm sure glad it lets me write whatever I want, because I just love to write..LOL and I get to use my creative ability also to write whatever I like. People who hate MT-ing just do because they hate to write and are not creative LOL. I'm sorry but this just cracked me up. I've thought a lot of things about transcription but FUN was never one of them. Lucky for me though, even though I don't like it, I get to stay at home and have a really flexible schedule..NOT.. lol...

    You gotta be kidding, some say it was on before and required more than one person but why submit it as if it were a "job" offered to one? Perhaps I am "slow."

    I don't need to research what I said SM
    and you are right that many people cannot afford the insurance, but guess what--I couldn't afford insurance on what I make as an MT even if my company offered it.  WM is not perfect.  I worked for them for many years, and my husband is still mgmt for them.  We both have seen things that we did not agree with, but I don't necessarily agree with everything I see in MT either or any other company for that matter.  I can go in Target and find things that aren't right.  I can go in any of the grocery stores and see things that aren't right.  WM gets a lot of bad press because of its size, some of it deserved, some not, but you can't believe everything you hear from your WM newsgroup. 
    Did YOU do any research on this???
    x
    IMO, it is not for asking others to do research
    MTs who dont do their own research, just want QA to do that for them. 
    I did my research
    I understand some people would try to get the answers and have "someone else do the work" as someone put it... but I have read through my books and been on so many website it was quite rediculous. I actually used this site as a last resort and have been doing research for 2 days before I made a post on another site last night and then here today.
    research
    It's one of my favorite parts of this job. I never worked in-house (except for 1 week in the office of my first MTSO, which was a very small company).  Did not go to MT school either so do not how they teach there (is there an emphasis on researching terms?). . Started with a better-than-average knowledge of medical terminology/anatomy and physiology  and strong interest in medicine. Bought books and did lots of looking up and learned on the job (with QA at first). Without an interest in medicine this would be a very boring job. I now primarily use the Internet for research because I know how to distinguish the good references from the bad, but there are still times I would rather consult a book. I would like to have an opththalmology book; that is one I have never had. -  15 year MT
    I did look at your piece of research
    and I am not seeing it. I don't think that all MTs will be out of work. There will be demand for editors, etc. I will stay in the field until I am told they don't need me anymore.
    Research results
    I checked on finasteride, and unfortunately it does not have great results for male acne. And it occasionally causes gynecomastia. BUT, here is a link to a cystic acne heater device:

    You should research other websites because sm
    Most of the information in the article doesn't coincide with any of the Biblical principles followed by the Christian churches in America today. Throughout the entire Bible, old and NT, we are taught to refrain from witchcraft, mediums, those who speak to the dead, or any kind of honoring of the dead. Christians are only to pay homage to God through Jesus Christ.
    Actually I did some research about a year ago
    and found out that in my state a surgical technician makes less than I do. Now THAT is messed up, in my opinion! Go figure.

    I don't know, I can see that when first starting out a person doesn't have the knowledge and experience that they will gain by working on the job. At the very beginning a new MT is going to be less productive due to needing to build Expander list, look up terms that they do not understand, etc. So it makes sense to me that they get paid a bit lower at the beginning.

    Now where I work they recently raised the minimum starting wage, so there are people coming in with about half my experience making almost as much if not as much as I do- that is kinda discouraging. I have complained and am waiting for their "response."
    Poster IS doing research - here!
    How better to research this subject than to personally ask a whole bunch of medical transcriptionists who actually do/have done this? Let's applaud the efforts of the poster rather than bash them!!
