By platforms, they mean systems like Scribes, Emdat INscribe, and other programs that some companies use.  Some companies just have you type directly into Word or WP which is what some people prefer while others prefer the platforms.  It's all a matter of personal choice.  I've worked in some platforms that  were just as user friendly as working directdly in WP and others where there was a lag issue with finding demographics, etc. 

Again, there is no perfect fit for everyone, just as in any job.

You have given very good advice.  I've worked about as much as an employee as I have an IC.  I've made no more as an IC than I make as an employee.  I will not recommend a company nor will I recommend an MT to a company; I've been burned on both accounts.  A company that might make me happy might make your life miserable.  People change, companies change and not always for the better either.  This can happen very quickly. 

I agree, I would read everything I could find on a company.  While there are always disgruntled employees, where there is smoke there is also usually fire.  That does not necessarily mean that a given MT might not be happy with that company.  The only way to know for sure is to try it for yourself.  Don't waste time.  I could tell within an hour whether it was a mistake and if it was, I moved on and didn't look back.  All I can say, is don't expect others to do your homework for you.  It can't be done.  Best of luck to all who are unhappy in their work.

What does a little hand pointing in front of a post mean?  I am searching for a post of mine that looks as if it has been deleted.  While searching I came across a reply of mine to a post, and there is this hand in front of it, and you cannot open my reply.  I feel as if I am being boycotted or something - - LOL!  Seriously, what is going on?

I just thought I would let you and others know about a job that is posted on the job board.  It was a ACUTE CARE MTS/EDITOR position that offer hourly wages.  To me this sounds like a BIG SCAM.  They send you an email stating that they are delighted to offer you a transcription position within a certain hourly range but then as you read further it states Please remit $25.00 for your independent contractor background check. We
accept credit cards, debit cards, money orders, money grams and cashier
checks as a form of payment.

Please note: We do not accept personal check.  They go by the company name of Telecommuting Personnel Job Services or TPJS, Inc.

The ad never had the companies name in it as well.

I would think that if a company wants to hire you and do a background check that they would pay for it!

Do you think this sounds like a SCAM??

...have to keep the settings in control panel as is for my job.  The text is awfully small.  Would there be any other way to enlarge it, or do I have to make-do?  

I love the site and the changes, too, just find it rather small.  Unfortunately, on my end, I can not change any other settings, and the +/- does not work for me, either. 

This has got to be the most unprofessional situation I have ever witnessed.  I cannot believe it.

the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post.  Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.

Thank you,

Administrator
