1.  The reason it is hourly is so they can pay you on a 1980's pay scale.  It is nothing more than bait to use as an excuse to pay you less.

2.  Many hourly QAs tend to dump jobs they don't want for someone else to do the dirty work.  The high producers who care about their work end up doing most of the work.

3.  If you get paid by the line you make at least 50% more.  I left an hourly QA job about a month ago for one that pays by the line and I doubled my income within two weeks.  By working on the long jobs other QAs don't want, I make a lot of money.

4.  Hourly QAs make about half of what good MTs make. 

5.  QA in general is one of the most thankless jobs around.  I left MT for QA so I could share my knowledge.  What a joke.  The MTs argue with you and never stop making the same mistakes.  Not only did I lose a lot of income, I hated coming to work every day to get the same reports from the same lazy MTs and then get nasty emails from the same MTs.  I got stuck with the jobs the other hourly QAs didn't know how to do or didn't want to do.  Why should they care?  They get paid no matter what.

How can you thank a company who overhires and leaves the MT's without enough work.  TT has done this recently.  Of course, there is always excuses such as holiday, school starting, etc.  But this is not the case at all now.

If you provide for yourself -- no husband -- then you should reconsider hiring on with TT.

ok sometimes but I really want to work!

   LMAO!

services, in fact I used one last week.   Most do have limits on how often you can use and how many pages though.  You obviously would have to scan pages into a document, but maybe she doesn't have a scanner either.

She could have mailed paperwork back. 

I left them for another job and then was going to get rehired part-time.  They called me and said they couldn't rehire me part-time because they found out that the day I quit, I was actually going to be let go for not doing a good job!  I said, what are you talking about, no one ever said anything to me.  Then Lee sent me an email saying that it was a big mistake and never mind.  Then the account I was going to go on was going to be starting up in a week, then a month, then I never heard another word from them!  Then Karen called me quite a while later and said they had an account coming on and she would call me the next day to get set up.  I said okay for the extra work.  No call, ever.  I decided that enough was enough and that things would never change.  I see by current posts things still haven't!  Ha.  Go figure!

Also, I was quite offended as I have never been let go from anywhere and have never had a complaint about my work.  But then I had to remember who the source was and just let it go.

Send an e-mail to HR off the website... Do this daily until you hear from them. 

I did take the test and sent in resume at same time though.  I kept bugging them... I said I would like to know how I did on my test and if they received my resume and how I could not wait to work there....

Now I work there.

because I don't know if the insurance type/coverage varies from state to state or not.  I have to provide insurance for both my husband and I (through DeVenture) and well, that does take a bite out of the ol' paycheck I must admit.  However, when I was getting just coverage for myself, so long as I made 7000+ lines a week, they paid 90% of the cost, and that wasn't too shabbyof a deal at all.
