Can she get a cell phone signal where she is at.

Posted By: Wireless broadband may be an option. on 2008-08-30
In Reply to: Career Step ? - KC

I also cannot get DSL or cable, but I do get a strong cell signal where I am at so I got wireless broadband through my cell phone provider. AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile all offer internet service and you do not have to already have a phone through them. I went with Sprint as they offer the fastest speeds in my area.

As for CS, I graduated 2 years ago and have never had an issue finding a job. I had 3 job offers within a week of graduating. I don't know if I was lucky or what. I have heard many CS grads lately complaining that they can't find jobs. I wonder if the marketplace is just becoming saturated with new grads and so it is more competitive than when I graduated.

Good luck to your SIL. Hope it works out for her.

Yes, but make sure your cell phone contract allows

A C-phone is a special phone (see inside)
that you can plug a headset into and a footpedal into, and then dial into a system and get the dictation over the telephone line, instead of over the internet.
c-phone
what is a c-phone, how does this work, how necessary is it to purchase one??
C-phone
Thanks for the response.  Phyllis
as far as the C-phone is concerned...sm
the MTSO doesn't always get to pick the method of voice files. The hospital does. So if it's a place that uses the Dictaphone C-phone, ya gotta get if you want the job. I do a PT account that uses a C-phone and I've made scads and scads of easy money. Best account I ever had. Pays gross lines and blank lines! American dictators. They call us and apologize if they slur a word that we can't hear. I would cry if I found out I passed up that baby because of a lousy 400 bucks.  But I think she said if you didn't want to pay the 400 bucks, she wasn't offended - just don't apply.
phone interview
I am having my first phone interview today with a company.  Can someone please tell me what I should expect from this?  Thanks. 
Phone interviews
I am a recent graduate from At Home Professions, and I have a couple of phone interviews coming up. I already passed their online tests. Can anyone give me any advice on phone interviews. What kind of questions do they ask? What information should I be prepared with? Any help or advice would be appreciated Thanks.
Phone interviews

I've had phone interviews where they just asked me questions about which hours/days I wanted to work and to review my resume.

Then, I've also had phone interviews after passing the online exam that asked me to move away from my PC and reference books, get pen and paper, and then rattled off about 40 questions ranging from medication usage, meanings of medical terms, expanded abbreviations, body parts, spelling tricky medications and longgggg medical words, etc.

I'll never forget when I was asked to tell the recruiter what EGD stood for and also to spell it!

I told her, first off that is a word that most docs can't even say, no less spell and you want me to attempt it? lol Recruiter laughed, and laughed again when I told her I spell it by typing *egd and watch it magically appear on my screen. lol

Just relax during your phone interview(s) and don't be afraid to tell them you are a bit nervous if you feel that way.
The more you interview with different companies, the better you will get at it.

Good luck to you!
DSL operates over the phone line
The presence or absence of satellite service is irrelevant.
C-Phone/Dial-in Dictation?
Can someone explain to me how a C-phone works.  Currently, I am working for a company that uses the WinScribe dictation platform via the internet.  Prior to this, I had only transcribed via microcassette tapes.  I look forward to an answer as I am clueless about this.  Phyllis
Is a C-phone a good investment?nm

in addition to the phone book
Go get 2 Rolodex's.  They are cheap at any office supply store.  Use one for medications and one for medical terms that are new to you.  Also for a pharmaceutical book, the Monthly Prescribing Reference is free on line.  Just Google it under that name and download it into your system.  It will give you weekly updates to the drugs that are either being taken off the market or being put on the market.  It's the drug book physicians use and far superior to any book that has to be renewed year after year.
BCB PC-Dart C-Phone information

Does anyone know anything about this transcription system or know where I can find the company on the web?  Thank you in advance for any help.


God Bless.


I have a phone interview with Medivoxx next Tuesday.
Any info on what to expect during this phone interview is much appreciated. Do you feel that there is a good chance for hire since I made it to this point with them?? Thanks!
Love the idea on using a phone book A-Z for writing down
I have almost 4 year experience now and may branch out on my own next year I think, or at least try. Love the idea of using the phone book, can't believe I never thought of it. Thanks for the tip.
It's rare to get the 2nd phone line reimbursed, so need to think about that cost, too. nm

Do not post names, e-mail addresses or phone numbers. (NM)

Got to transcriptiongear.com and then click on Transcribe Equipment. The C-phone is down the list a

You need a second phone line for Cphone. It's an automatic dialer with a footpedal
s
it is a type of internet connection faster than dialup but still uses a phone line
but you can use your phone and be online at the same time.
Thanks! Turns out they forgot to send me the info containing the phone number to call!! Got it now.
Thanks again.
