Howdy! In the last year, I applied and got offered jobs at a minumum of 10 companies
and not ONE single place checked any references - not 1. Even the one who said they would, Diskriter, never made 1 call. Do you feel lucky??

I actually have two real jobs with real benefits. sm
One is SoftScript at 10.5 cents a line, taxes taken out and PTO, insurance, the whole ball of wax. The other is a hospital work at home job, same scenario. They are out there.

Thanks guys...I better go clear this up real quick :)

Are you guys for real? Now you can tell people are gross
indecent slobs because of their punctuation. Priceless.

MT - CNN says hot job 12/27/08 Did you guys here CNN -jobs to go into
This morning 12/27/08 CNN had some economic expert on there telling people about the HOT JOBS that will be secure. First one he said Medical Transcription. He said 18,000 MTs will be hired a year. Where is he getting this info? Just thought you guys might be interested. I find that questionable. What do you guys think?

Why don't you guys get new jobs?
How long have you been with your company? Are you sure things are not going to change? If not, then why are you still there? I worked for a big MTSO and found myself with no work, no work, clocking in, clocking out, having to use PTO, and checks shrinking until I was finally laid off. I live in a very rural area, I am over 50, and was scared to death but you know what, I spent 2 weeks responding to job posts on MT Stars and was hired by a small U.S. Company at a higher line rate than I have ever made, doing a specialty I love. I have yet to run out of work since. I did believe that my age was going to be a negative factor in my job searach, but it was actually a plus. These companies are looking for very experienced MT's and they know that only comes with the years. I feel for all of you. I have walked in your shoes - but you do have options.

I had no idea, I thought Medware was one of the good guys.
Guess I won't be applying with them after all.

To those already with them, I hope you can all agree to not assist offshore typists to take jobs from US MTs.

It would not cost them their jobs. They are just lying through their teeth. Get real, please.

Can you guys say what companies use this software? Thx. nm

I was just curious about different companies...You GET REAL!..sm
That is the problem with this profession. So many people are out to downgrade you and come out with an attitude like this little one did. I was simply curious about who gets what kind of birthday incentives, etc...Apparently you are the one that has a problem because you do not know how to be nice and answer a question. And you did not even answer the question correctly -- all you did was show how much of a rude and senseless person you are. No help at all....

For real people - The pay most of these companies
are offering now for EXPERIENCED MTs is not much more than I made starting out 10 years ago with no experience. I started out at 0.06 a line. What a ripoff. I'm seriously considering a new profession.

I usually work both jobs until I determine that the new job is really all I thought it would be. nm

Good advice, and advice that I'm giving real thought to ...

If I had known that they offshored before I accepted employment with them I never would have gone there to work. I've been here long enough now though to not want to lose my benefits.

Still ... making a DECENT PAYCHECK and making a living without being stressed out over the type of work that I'm doing is just as important as good benefits.

Which companies? I've applied to the one OP mentioned
x

Yes, both of those companies have enough jobs
For all US MTs, right? They can hire us all and pay us 9 cpl to keep the work in the US? Honestly, I don't think so, sorry. I understand what you are trying to do, and good luck with that. I just think it's too little, too late.

not all companies post jobs here -

why bother being so rude.

Two companies have offered me jobs. sm

Does anyone know about Intellitype or Fast Chart?

Fast Chart seems more professional. They said Instant Text doesn't work with their system. Has anyone tried to use it and succeeded?

Intellitype seems more laid back. Did I read correctly that I submit an invoice for payment?

Any knowledable feedback is appreciated.

There are still plenty of jobs here, but because companies
are competing against companies in other countries (even if the work is inferior) are stuck. Twenty something years ago I was making 6 cpl/gross line. I had no experience, no schooling, basically self-taught and on-the-job training. Today, 20 something years later I'm making 8 cpl/gross line with less benefits. If we didn't have to compete with India we might have a better wage and benefits.

companies or the actual jobs
Do you mean keep a list of companies that you work for or the jobs you work on. Any company that i get info on i save so that way i have it if i need to find another job.

Wonder why these companies post jobs

with low line rates but requiring years of experience. Who out there is desperate enough to fall for this? Maybe they should try an overseas job board somewhere.

I have spoken with different companies from the MT Jobs web site and all
have said they are giving priority to the Heartland employees that have been displaced over someone just window shopping.

They could apply with any of these companies and just put HEARTLAND EMPLOYEE in the subject line and get considered before anyone and they really do not need AAMT's help or a matchmaker company. They can do it themselves. AAMT is one of the reason why they don't have jobs.

Agree. Sometimes I think these companies are just getting jobs done for free. (NM)

Inquiries about companies, jobs, etc. (PLEASE READ)

Please ask about specific companies. If you are looking for a job, see the Job Seekers board. There are literally hundreds of job advertisements. Each one is very descriptive and each one has contact information. Please research for yourself. Ask about companies by name but research for yourself.

If you wish, we have a free resume bank for you to post your resume on.

Please do not post asking for good companies or companies that only do certain types of work: Look at the job ads on the Job Seekers board. This information is all provided there.

If you have problems or issues, please let me know via email.

With so many IC jobs/companies, would think MTs are buying insurance outside

Why do companies advertise for jobs if they have no work?

I lost my job with a big offshoring company a couple of months ago. I knew it was coming so I started applying for jobs and sending my resume for posted jobs. The company that hired me responded to my resume submission within 2 HOURS and I was hired the next day. They had an immediate need, speciality I love, good pay. Now, a couple of months later I am getting calls and e mails from companies that I applied to months ago. One recruiter said, I don't know when we received your application, it was probably 90 days ago. During this same time period I have seen the Q advertise twice, claiming they have steady work (????) Of course, after reading posts here I would not even consider any offer from them. A lady from Spheris e mailed and ask that I let her know a time I could interview some time in the next several weeks.

I don't get it. If you do not have work, why are you posting jobs? I would consider this a big red flag.

I thought all companies audit(?)
The same people all the time on here keeping things going. It is so high school and so silly! Like a broken record! I am sure they are glad to be rid of you all wherever you worked with those negative attitudes.

I thought companies had to identify themselves
This company sounds to me like they are looking for newbies to pay very little to or go into some sort of training program where they won't actually get paid at all for the work, though the company would. Just my humble impression.

Are most part-time jobs with companies a few hours every day or are there
jobs that exist where you can work a few days during the week? If you can help, thank you!

Jobs being sent to India - good companies who don't outsource
I've been working for a company for a few years now. This company has started to remove several job types with greater turnaround times to India from our exiting accounts. There was not enough work over the holidays to get in all of my hours (I know work is normally slow then), and this trend is still continuing. We used to have a primary account and a secondary account as a back-up, but now I'm working on at least 5 or 6 accounts just to have enough work to complete my 8-hour shift.

Any companies offer QA/Editor jobs (employee status)
I currently work as an Editor (IC) for a company that pays a rather low hourly rate ($12). I can only be considered for an increase after working 6 months if I average 300+ lines an hour(to $14). Compound this with the fact that there is usually no work.

I find it impossible to do more than 300 lines an hour while providing feedback therefore, I will never get a raise! I am looking to work for a company as an employee who pays well (hourly) whether there is work or not. I'm very concerned about not having enough work to meet my financial obligations.

Those are the same companies I thought about telling her. She has maybe 25 year experience in the
hospital setting. I will recommend these companies to her. I think she will be fine with one of them. The hospital is going voice rec.

Let's hear from the MTs that love their companies, their jobs and have a great line count
I love where I work, happy with line count, happy with earning potential. Love being an MT and working at home. You???

Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?

Can I asked when you applied? I applied a few weeks ago
and never heard a word and I have over 16 years of experience. I applied because I got a recommendation from a friend of a friend who loves working there..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anymore details other than that. I'm all for even one positive at this point on this frustrating job search. Good luck to you though and check back with us to tell us how the interview went etc. Thanks

Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those
,

Monster Jobs and Career Builder usually have a few path jobs. nm

Don't think any do except for those in-house jobs. Some QA jobs are paid hourly. nm

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.

No. I applied, but I've applied SM

at a lot of places lately. I got an e-mail from a lady whose name starts with an M, but she didn't identify her company in the letter. She had my resume on the bottom of her e-mail, so I know it's someone I applied with, but I don't know which one!! LOL I'm thinking it's The Word Pros. Anyone else apply to The Word Pros and get an e-mail from M?

I'd love to hear information about them as well.

Just Me

I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company. I work days (and some nights) with this company. I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night. Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working. Do you have to have set hours at your company #2? Thanks for the suggestion.

Are MTs that are looking for jobs finding good jobs right now with everyone looking or is it
getting more difficult to find a good job. I am most interested in jobs for experienced MTs with more than 10 years service. I wonder if it is better to put a resume on or just keeping applying or what is the best way to go about this.

Hey, guys!
I'm glad you're here, I find that guys can sometimes tend to be a little less emotional and more objective than girls (please no flames, just MHO!). And specialties...I love path, too, but have only ever been able to do it in-house. I've been doing Onc for many, many years and love it absolutely, but it's not that easy to find at-home. I have a fabulous account now, but I work for the apparently doomed MQ, so now what? RadGuy, was it only money that motivated your stay? Do you think your account will stay with MQ? PathGuy, have you thought about tapping into more vet stuff? Will they pay better or the same?

Glad you guys are here...

OncGirl

Thanks guys
I took my time and used my reference materials that I have and thought I did pretty well. Guess not. There were a few questions I did not know the answer to so I guessed, but would never do that on a report. It was very disappointing.

I wish I knew what questions I got wrong. Almost like QA'ing the test would have been helpful to learn from that.

I will keep trying because I am still looking for job. Not happy where I am right now.

Hi Guys!
Well, I think I am still in shock, but the panic has been hitting hard today. I just found out this morning that one of my kids looks like he will be facing surgery on both of his eyes in July! Great timing, huh! I am just worn out! Last week took its toll both physically and emotionally.

I hope everyone finds jobs (the right one for you!) quickly!

Take care of yourselves!

How about these guys?
Any info on Aero Transcription in Maryland or U.S. Transcription in Iowa? TIA

If I were you guys (sm)

I would start looking. I know you reach a comfort level where you are, but TRUST ME, there are reputable companies out there (I work for one) and believe me, you are better off leaving now, before things crash down on you just when you start feeling comfortable again. Good MT's can still find work in this country, and they are paid in dollars, not rupees.

thanks guys -- could

you e-mail the account name or some specific hint so I if apply I can be forewarned? Thanks.

Thanks guys...
your help is sooo appreciated. From the frying pan into the fire is not a good thing.

Thanks again!!!

P.

Hey thanks guys
<3

As good as it feels tho to be able to feel hopeful about the future, I guess the pessimist in me wont feel truly elated until I've started my new job and quit my old one. But hell I'm happy regardless LOL It's just such a huge load off my worried mind !

Thanks again and I hope to be in close correspondence with any present and future Transcenders, maybe we can help each other out at times :D

Thanks to both you guys.

Thanks guys
for all the great info. I will let you know how I test.
