work and work off-line or you work on-line and type directly into the company system or the hospital system. If you are an independent contractor you can set your own hours. There are some companies that have a 24-hour TAT.
You need to have schooling and/or training before you get to that point and that takes about 18 months or more. There are some companies that won't allow offshore MTs, so even if an American that might limit your choices.

For testing I needed software that I could download free
but I could not get the footpedal to work. Anybody have experience with this? I downloaded Express Scribe to listen to the dictation.
Thanks in advance.
A USB foot pedal would be good to have. You can download Express Scribe for free to take tests. nm

GE Positions
Does anyone know of a transcription company which has an opening in GE? This is my specialty, but I have been looking forever for an opening. Any ideas? Or...any ideas on how to get into recruiting MTs?
Thanks,

Newbie positions
I hire new MTs and I give them the experience. Granted it is harder for me but I do appreciate the opportunity I was given to get into the industry and now I am trying to give back. I got into the business while on bedrest and pregnant with my daughter 10 years ago. I am all about helping people. However, I do think there are some people out there that take this job for granted. If I hear one more person say to me "Oh I have a computer, I can do that job" I am going to scream. You do have to be dedicated and you do have to put in the time. I have gotten a couple of bad reviews from new MTs but the MTs that have negative things to say were the MTs that did not want to do the work or complained that it was too hard. I have sent the same MT 4 or 5 different dictations or files in a row because there was one thing or another they felt was wrong with each one before it. As a MTSO that is frustrating because sometimes the MT has to meet us in the middle. If this job was so easy then everyone would be doing it and if you are as dedicated as you say you are then you just plain have to put in the time.
at-home positions
Its starting to sound like the lucrativeness of this "work at home" profession was too good to be true. Just by what I see and hear, it seems nobody wants to hire a "newbie" and all require 2+ years of experience. Where do they expect you to GET that experience if nobody wants to hire you? As for working at home, that's the ONLY reason I chose this profession. I wanted the flexibility in my schedule to be there for my daughter. Now I'm getting discouraged right out of the gate. As I mentioned, I have a 97% GPA and have an eye for detail. I have an uncanny ability to spot grammatical errors. My husband said my true calling is an editor, which I thought perhaps I'd have the ability to do as well in this field. I'm still open to any and all suggestions. I plan to send out letters of introduction to local area doctors and offer my services. If anyone has any leads or other advice to offer, I'm all ears!
Thanks.

Have any newbies applied for the new Medware positions? Thanks. nm

That is slightly less than most part time positions.
The average requirements run about 1200 lines for full time and 600 for part time (based on 65-character line). If this is a full-time position, it sounds like you may have found someone that will give you the opportunity to focus on quality instead of placing the emphasis on production right off the bat.
Would the open positions be for acute care or clinic? FT or PT? Thx! nm
