Read the Sticky post at at the top of the Main board that I posted and that will explain it.

I am the OP. So, if so many jobs that are posted here
Where do I start applying? You make it sound like I am the only one out of work. So, I appreciate it that I am not, and you set me straight. I can tell my family now that if I get one of the jobs on the board we won't be broke, and that it was my fault we did not eat well for my trying the past months. Thanks for your pep talk. Any company you suggest I apply to first, since there is such bountiful work? Thanks in advance. Happy Holidays to you too.
Even the jobs which are posted are not
I have a feeling they get like 1000 resumes in a day or 2. How it must be to go through a mountain of e mail, and tests, and resumes, I can't imagine!
They have weekend Radiology jobs that were posted on the job board May 8..(sm)
other than that, you would probably have to call. Good Luck!
I posted below also, but read on....
I am one who prefers op notes as well. Loved this gig. What I didn't love was not getting paid. What I didn't love was being hawked when I wasn't at my computer. I did not miss turnaround and my work was spot on. They were not disappointed. I didn't like the disorganization...you'd tell them you needed a day off or a few hours, and they'd give you work. Then you'd come home to check your e-mail only to find the ones that said that they need to know when you won't be working...despite the fact that you can send 1, 2, or even 3 emails!!! Ugh!! Unorganized. Maybe some day in the future they'll get it, but for now...I'd stay away. Give them a year or two to regroup! Oh yeah...and be very careful to not tell the owner you don't like how he's handling your pay.....you might not keep your job!
Just read 5-7 2 ads listed MT jobs
This is unbelievable and sad for those who feel there is no choice out there. As long as these are accepted they will continue to be offered. Emails to the company saying -
- 5-7 cents a line huh, what do you suppose this comes out as an hourly rate Shame on you this is slave labor.
I have also seen 4 cents a line for MTs, yes. Nonsense MTs, keep looking around..
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.

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.
zzzzz
You posted under her post.
If you weren't talking to her why were you replying to her and accusing her of being JMO? Wait. I know. You were trying to stir the pot. Good heavens girl you either need a reading comprehension course or an etiquette course on how not to start trouble. Let it go already and quit stirring up trouble.
This was the first post I have posted under GP!
Who are you talking to? You have the wrong person and you just made a fool out of yourself, hello!
Above post was definitely posted by someone with a high IQ
Then why was posted in response to MY post? - sm
Am I supposed to know it's for the OP?? And I'm quite relaxed and chilled out. Maybe you're the one who needs to relax and giving orders. 
that was me silly, I was talking to you. I posted that right before your post came up!
You have to open a post & click on the name after Posted By to get it to someone's

I posted this on the main board. Though I would post it here as well.
If you want mandatory credentialling, then do something about the pay range for MTs! 8 cpl does not cut it when you consider the knowledge and education required for a qualified MT.
Coders in the midwest (where I live) who have their CCS make $20/hr with little to no experience! Do not for one minute compare the CMT to the CCS!! AHIMA is taking care of its coders, making sure coders and records techs are acknowledged for their expertise in the heath information industry and compensated for achieving their credentials. The ADHI only wants our money. They have done absolutely nothing for the MT who is credentialed --- 8 cpl or 9 cpl!?!?!!? --- does that sound like we are highly regarded health information professionals to you?
Only jobs post on Job board!! nm
a
only jobs post on job board
I was asking a question about a company on the company board and it completely disappeared. It's not on the job board or man board...I just replied to my own post to ask the question again though.
MTSOs must post their own jobs
nm
not all companies post jobs here -
why bother being so rude.
Hardly any jobs out there post the salary.
I don't think it matters if it's transcription or what. I can't imagine testing for a company before calling them and flat out asking what the pay rate is for the position being offered. What a total waste of time for both the company and the applicant.
...and I personally do not think it is inappropriate to laugh at a ridiculous rate and slam down the phone either. I think the asshats out there who are offering a nickel a line need to get laughed at and rudely hung up on to boot. None of this PC politeness garbage of thanking them for their time either if they pull a number like that out of their hineys. A man sure as heck wouldn't stand for that kind of pud pullin'...why should we?!
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.
Be careful, DB. I posted a post similar to yours and it was deleted.
:+
I too posted asking about Co.'s with flexibility, not a job wanted post, but I dont see it now. n

I read your post. What do you want me to re-read?
and it seems those are your posts, too, so things just didn't add up and seemed inconsistent. If a place dropped me down to p.r.n. at 7 cpl or whatever and I already had another job where I could get 1000-1500 lines, I wouldn't give the first place a second thought so just couldn't figure out why anyone else would.
why is OSI allowed to post jobs on this site??? SM
It is on their website that they have an offshore office in the Phillipines.
Maybe it's because they post jobs and never respond to people.
Has anyone actually had them respond to a resume?
You are not supposed to post jobs on the job board
Again...you are not to post jobs on the job board unless you work in the capacity to recruit.
Don't know who this is but they only post jobs to stay legal..
I know exactly how it works, don't bother applying you will be wasting your time.
This site USED to post in house hospital jobs - sm
And this is just MY opinion, but I think what probably happened is that the hospitals were probably getting bombarded with every MTSO service contacting them, and individuals contacting them about outsourcing their work, and it probably became too much for them. An acquaitance mentioned one time that she had advertised on this board for on site and specified that it was on site, along with very specific job specifications, and apparently it didn't matter - everybody and their brother applied for the job, including waitresses and nannies who had never even had one iota of medical terminology, let alone job experience.
That's just my 2 cents
You missed my point in jobs knockin post and the
you want. If you like MTSO you are with now, get more work from there. If not go after what you want with different MTSO, different job, whatever. Whats the big deal with askin for more work with MTSO you are with, if you like them. No different that asking to work for (by applying to) any other MTSO. A real pro knows to get proactive and steer you life in the direction you want it to go.
It's posted right on their website under Tech. Requiremts. Not the first MTSO I've seen post t
,,
I had posted that question right up under the original poster and prior to her post being answeredsm
Looks are deceiving and I AM paying attention.
DUH, read my post again
It has not happened to me, nope. Also, I don't know of anyone that it has happened to. We have a forum that we can post on and no one has said anything of the sort on it. Why is that? Why would you come on here and post instead of on our forum if there is a problem? I have seen other issues brought up on the forum and have not ever seen them called emotional.
Also, if I was an MT that has been there for years and found that I wasn't getting paid what a newbie was with the same experience or less, and I knew I had been making my line count and been a good employee, I would say something. I would demand a raise. If I didn't get what I was worth, I would find a new job that would pay me what I was worth. As a matter of fact, this is exactly what I did. I have plenty of experience and was not getting paid well. So, I asked for raise and was told they couldn't give me one. So, I left and found a better paying job. I didn't stick around to become a complainer. I mean, who else is going to take care of you if you don't? Whose responsibility is it to make sure you are getting paid well or treated well?
Did you even really read my post? sm
Gosh oh gee. I said, nurses are making more money not less, like MTs. That is ALL I said. How in the WORLD you got all that out of my short post I will never know but it is sure being blown out of proportion. I have the greatest respect for nurses. Stop trying to put words in my mouth, please.
Thanks, I did read Not Me's post....s/m
and I responded there too.....with a different name is all...
it takes great minds to think alike....and we cannot convince the entire world.....but we can make change in our own little groups in our families and friends and hopefully everyone will pass around the good stuff! The love and compassion....
I think you need to re-read my post.
I think you need to re-read my post. I said they were TRIVIAL. I didn't say that I did not CARE. I didn't say that I sent out terrible reports to make my work go to India. How do you suppose when there is more than one way to do something you chose the right way depending on what person is checking work?
I have read your post and all the
others down the page and I agree with you completely. I left a company last year because the QA person just would not let anything I did alone when it came to punctuation. You are correct when you say that punctuation is a style issue and except in cases where it would change the meaning of a sentence, it should be left up to the MT to use as she thinks/knows is correct. I am now with a company who uses this policy. When I was on direct QA for a new account, my QA person did sometimes change punctuation, but this only reflected her own style preference. She made sure to tell me that this did not count against me and that my style was also correct. If I were you and they keep this up, I would look elsewhere to preserve my sanity.
No, not in QA (if you would read my post below)
the one that begins, no, no, what I meant was if your work is accurate and doesn't require much QA. I don't know the percentage of accuracy; I don't remember, but it is a bonus for the MT's, not the QA people. I have no idea if they get bonuses, nor do I care.
I don't think you read that in a post
Why would they mess up a good thing? I think you are mistaken.
Read the post
Read the post on the main board, I think it was a couple days ago, labeled the downward spiral of the medical transcriptionist, again this proves everything written is true and happening on a daily basis.
I should have read your post first sm
because I said almost the same thing in mine. Sorry!
What post did you read?
She asked where the good dictators went, and the reply was that off-shore MTs were sent the good dictators.
What a way to punish the good dictators. Now they get crap back for no reason, unless some poor American is assigned to clean up the mess.
maybe you should read my post again...
I have 2 (two) IC jobs and they do me just fine--I mean $4000 take home fine. CHEERS!
I read your post and just for fun,
sent a mexican rice recipe to that address that you send the sample dictation. I got that same job offer e-mail afterwards. It's all automated, all a scam. I went on live chat and pointed this out, and they disconnected the chat after a short while. Oh well, I feel good knowing the time they wasted on me they weren't taking anyone's money (mine or someone else's).
Did you clearly read my post?
There IS another company involved even though you are told there isn't and i just found this out recently after working for FN for a few years
Well, since this is the first post I have read
including the archives with that information I am just going to continue to look forward to the position. If there is not enough work, I will go back to the recruiter and work with her. THey are hiring from what I understand because they are growing, not for turnaround, so I am not goign to assume there is no work. I will not worry, and I suggest that you do not worry until after there is no work, and after the supervisor cannot give answers. We should know pretty soon which is true. For me, I heard the place is a good one, and I have more reason to believe that at this time.
Read my post, it says- over 20
and no I am not that person you speak of- my pay is less than that - but with my speed it is possible to make OVER 20 an hour and I do not have to work full so my salary very satisfactory to me.
Read the OP's post on p.2. How can sm
you say they're not up to something? What they are doing is farming out the work to this J & J transcription company and really who knows if there are other companies they send work to.
I had to read my post again to see
what I wrote as no one who posted a reply even addressed my query.
I sure didn't need any reinforcement as to how crummy this line of work is.
did you not read her post.? She said sm
we need people who are willing to do what it takes to get the work done when it needs to be done. this is what the profession is and always has been. Its just been the last 10 or so years that the real primadonnas the ones without years of experience coming out of these limited schools are demanding all these bankers hours, greater pay than warrants for their experience, etc. etc. It has run this business into the ground.
I am repeating myself for the umpteenth time, but those who have been doing this for years know what it takes to be in this business and it is willingness to work when needed. This is not and never will be a 9-5 job only, a day job only, etc. etc. If you can find a job like that I hope you do but you will get limited experience. The ones that are working all these shifts and willing to do what it takes are getting the experience and they will have jobs. Its not a hopeful situation for alot of us who are willing to work where and when the work is there.
Read my post again
I realize you want to defend them and they may have many positives but in *my* case, I was specifically called back to fill a position, immediately finished and passed all tests. Then the *position* mysteriously vanished.
They didn't even seem to realize how this looked to me (the candidate)... which was suspicious at worst and careless at best
