I've thought about going back to Transolutions, and this looks interesting. How are they coming up with the hourly rate offered to each person, do you know? What sort of accounts? I was wondering if this was a crew of people who went around getting the new accounts started or filling in when there is an overload on accounts. Is there any special or different training? Would I be working on the DOS or Windows platform?

Any info would be great.

Please post only if you have worked there in the last year. There are lots of negative posts from late 2004, but from what I understand, there have been major management changes since then, so I'd like to hear from those of you who have experiences from 2005.  Thanks!

I got paid that as a new grad just 3 years ago.  I really do need a job but at that rate It's just not worth it.

Knowledge?  Spelling?  Typo?  Punctuation?  Grammar?  Inconceivable to me that an untimed open-book test would be a problem. 

I (along with many others)  was laid off due to a merger a few years ago.  I filed for unemployment and several weeks later, before it was granted, I was invited to test to be hired back. For 10 years prior to that, with several companies, I had always scored over 98% on QA reviews, but on this test I ''passed the knowledge portion and failed the transcription portion.'' I always figured that the invitation was with the hope that many of us would not respond; then they could say they had offered us jobs, but we refused.   But when I actually did play the game and took the test, I ''failed'' because they really did not want any of us back and were just hoping I would not test, that way they could say I refused a job offer and avoid paying unemployment. 

At least, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

becoming an MT is crazy.  It is one of the worst jobs to have and horrible for your health (sitting all day - horrible on your circulation).  I regret the day I got into it and thankful I have the opportunity to get out of it.  They pay is low unless you are an above average typist and you are responsible for your own taxes.  I hate paying taxes for the luxury of working in my OWN home.  If you get employee status the benefits are horrible.  Any MT that praises this field either types 200+ lpm and/or doesn't mind working 10 hour days including weekends. 

   I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

I love Emdat

Thanks in advance
