No, the woman who owns this company can't transcribe herself, much less run a company.

has a screw loose. 

A friend of mine who was recently looking for a job had been talking to a lady from New England Transcription (not sure if this is the same company??) and had been given the total run around from them. 

First the lady said that they paid 9 cents a line to start, then when my friend got the contract (which she had to call the lady for 5 or 6 times), it said 5 cents a line.  Then she never heard from the lady who hired her until the day before she was supposed to begin the job.  Then, the day she was supposed to start, she was told there was no work, and she should call back in a few weeks. 

Needless to say, she didn't take this job, but it wasted about 3 weeks (from the time she accepted the position until they told her it was no longer available due to lack of work). 

If this is the same company, maybe ask for the contract up front and review it carefully.  Ask what the work load is like and all that good stuff.  Hopefully it's not the same place.

Just wanted to know if anybody has ever worked for Breitner Transcription and what they are like?

Thanks!

I think some companies but a time frame on when  you can test again if you do not do well the first time.  Good luck

The company I'm an IC with is located in CA but I live in TN. Since I've had a problem with my sleep for *years,* it was an ideal situation in terms of what accounts to put me on. I'm in charge of H&Ps on three specific accounts. They need the reports by 6 a.m. their time, which is 8 a.m. my time. No problem. It's rare for me to sleep until 4:45 a.m. Usually, I'll get up around 2:30 to 3 p.m. I just go back to sleep for a few hours when the morning rush is done. My work day ends by 4 p.m. my time, which is 2 p.m. their time.

I have just started with a large MT company and I barely hear from my supervisor.  I am very self-reliant, but had some basic questions for him.  He was offline the first day (he had never contacted me at that point) and when I finally caught him on the phone he said he would send me an e-mail with answers.  That was two days ago.

I was just curious if this was typical for the industry?

Hello,

I was wondering if any of you have heard of the transcription company called, Advanced Language International Systems. (alsi-llc)?  Thank you.

newbiemommt!  I'll definitely check out that company. I also came across another Philippine company close to where we will be living. The hesitancy I have is that unless an expat (I'm not really expatting...I'm coming back to the U.S. in 2-3 years) is married to a Philippine citizen ( I won't be married to my filipina love until we can wade through the bureaucratic government redtape there) it can be very difficult for a foreigner to get hired by a Philippine company. As far as I am aware , Philippine-based companies pay at local wage rates...which is peanuts. For instance a entry-level filipino worker may bring home 12,000 pesos / month , which sounds like alot , but that equates to about $300 / month. If I were to be hired by a U.S. company and make just $1,000 / month I would be bringing home approx. 40,000 pesos /month and we could live very well on that.

I would expect that I could make substantially more than $1,000/month working as an MT being paid at U.S. wage rates , which is attractive to me for three reasons. The first is that my love and our children will be able to live very well while living there. The second reason is that by being paid the going Ameican wage I am not taking part in depressing the wages American , U.S. based MT workers are making. The third is avoiding the hassles of just getting a Philippine company to even hire me and also avoiding the difficulties associated with getting a Philippine work permit work visa. Afterall , we are not going to stay in the Philippines for any longer than necessary and when coming back to the U.S. It would be great to already be working for a U.S. company all that time , with nothing more needed than just a change of address.

I really , really do appreciate your suggestions. Thanks much.
