I had previously posted asking for input on MT World, which is apparently the parent company or associated with ATSI.  Well, I got my answer and here's my experience:  After I submitted a resume, I received a test with a look forward to speaking with you  Fine - even though this is usually a flag (from my experience).  Took the test and received a phone call telling me I passed and that I would next receive an application, which after received would be followed by an interview.

In the meantime I asked for clarification about the weekend requirement:  Hours required, rate of pay, etc.  I was asked to call back, which I did.  After asking the question *three different ways* it was clear she was not going to answer the main question, which was:  If you are required to be available for 8 hours each weekend day, are you paid by the line or by the hour?  MTs, you know where I was going with this :) 

So I said, you are either unable to unwilling to answer this question, so I will withdraw my interest. 

I got the distinct impression this is something she/they are used to...

What I don't get is this:  Unless they expect you to be on call for 8 hours with no guarantee of a minimum earning per hour, why couldn't they simply answer this question?  Why take more of my time filling out an application, having a phone interview, etc., just to get this basic question answered?

And corporations wonder why they get a bad rap.

It does work around MS word...using your copy of word on your machine,..so you have to have your own spellcheck and Expander or have autocorrect set up

I got offered a position to type some reports in a specialty I have been typing for 6 months.  I was offered 7cpl for 65 character line.  Does not pay for hard returns, tabs, empty lines, headers, footers are not paid.  Spaces between words are. 

At my other position I was getting 6cpl including hard returns. 

How do I figure out if this new offer is equal or better than what I already had? 

Yes, I know neither are high paying.  I am new to the industry, only finished my course 7months ago.  BUT, this particular specialty is easy for me and I have very high marks with QA.

Any and all advise is welcome.  Thanks!
