Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do.  I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL.  I dont do them anymore.
SoftScript is hiring on MT Jobs - any takers?
I've heard they suk.
Medware and Allstate hiring - no jobs available either place!
why do they do that?
Think they may be hiring for new accounts
someone I know recently hired by them - you should probably contact recruiter yourself and get things moving.
I think they are hiring for a few accounts but not VR. nm

MDI-FL hiring for eScription accounts
Hello all,
We just acquired three Escription accounts and our MTs LOVE THEM. Please e-mail me at Liz@medicaldictation.com or call me at 1-800-205-7047.

It is a fun program to work on.

Hope you are keeping safe down in Texas. God bless. We are all thinking of you guys in the way of that horrible storm.

Thanks,
Liz McGrogan
General Manager

Anybody hiring for eScription accounts? nm

They are hiring for new accounts that are in place.
.
They way overhire. They do a big hiring for new accounts

and then when the dust settles there isn't enough work and a bunch leave.  There are accounts with tons of work, but they are usually older accounts and for some reason they won't allow them to be used as backup accounts.  Pay is better than most companies, but if you can't get your lines in it doesn't help.  Pay always on time and if payday falls on a holiday pay is early.


They weren't a good fit for me, which turned out to be a good thing because I'm in a much better place now than I was with them, but I've worked for worse companies.  If you are looking to work for one company I'd advise again that with Webmedx.  I was only getting 12-15 hours in a week.  I was always available my scheduled shift and was willing to work my days off, there just wasn't enough work. 


Precyse Hiring for new accounts
I am an MT for Precyse and love the company. There is lots of work and the platform is very user friendly. A great place to work!
They are hiring because new accounts are coming on. sm
This will straighten out the work shortage everyone is feeling right now.
Transtech will be hiring for new accounts soon

To clarify, by "those jobs" I meant it said some MDI accounts would be going to VR. nm

Give them a call; they are hiring a lot lately for new accounts
and are probably a little behind.
For Radiology, try Keystrokes. I know they are hiring on one of my accounts. sm
The hospital just hired KS to do their whole department. I think they will be doing their Med/Surg stuff too.
I see JLG is still hiring. Is anyone newly working for them and how are the accounts they offer.
:
They've been hiring so much because they have two new GIGANTIC accounts that need to be staffed.
Between the two accounts they need something like 50 people. I wouldn't worry about it. A company CAN hire lots of people and still staff appropriately, you know.
How do people cherry pick on accounts? You mean like supervisors assigning jobs?
I did not know you could do that, but is that what you mean? I need to know because I will not work for that.
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
They are hiring for new accounts that are coming on in March. I called and asked. As far as
no work, it will catch back up. There are ebbs and flows with every company and I, for one, am not worried about it.
I see Precyse is hiring for new accounts. Would appreciate recent info on this company. (sm)
most of what I have found is pretty old.  Are the current employes squelched when it comes to giving out information regarding the company or are they just so busy they don't have time to mess around on the boards?   E-mail if you are concerned about being flamed or don't want to post for whatever reason.  TIA.
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.  
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.
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work.  I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Look at all the jobs on the jobs boards.
You can find a job and won't have to apply for unemployment. You would be surprised how many companies need qualified MTs! Go get 'em and get 'em now!

Don't wait until the 11th hour. Too many needs to put your hat in the unemployment slot.

What they lost is our gain.

Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.


Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.

I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
Hmm..well it goes to show how different it can be between accounts. My "high" ESL accounts s
at WMX are pretty easy in my opinion as well. I wish I had a better answer for you. Hang in there if you can. You have to do what is right for you.
Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm

3 jobs
Yes, I currently work 3 jobs; 2 are national (both suck); pay okay and am an employee and the other one smaller company am an IC (are very nice) but pay a little less. Going crazy because they overhire (the 2 national companies).

MT jobs

MT Professional with 5 years experience.Looking for clinicial or Independent Doc MT work I can handle anytype of account. 


no new jobs
Yes, I get that message a lot and I have three accounts. I have only been there a month now and I am waiting to see if it is going to change.
There are jobs for us
I went to the jobseeking site on this board and have now received 3 offers.  I would like to make the moderator for this message board.  This board has let us be heard.  As a result of being heard, we are considered for jobs first because of our special situation. To every Heartlander, look on the jobseeking site of this board and good luck.

I consider 7 cents per line an insult.  They can get the offshore people instead.
but i have 3 jobs to do it :(

has anyone ever tried 2 new jobs
at the same time, and if so, how was it.  I am thinking of letting go of my current job to try 2 parttime jobs to see which would lead to a better fulltime job. Whew...  thanks! 
2 jobs . .
Most transcriptionists have more than one job, it allows for backup when one runs low. It's not real hard to do, except I did try to learn two new jobs at one time and that was tough. Would start out with one and then the other. It was pretty stressful for a while.
Is more then just the MT jobs.
Most technical services are over seas too. Dell is the worst.. They don't even speak English... Time for the American People to step up to the plate and DEMAND their medical records stay in the States.. I do that when I go to the doctor and hospital.
Log of Jobs
I had to keep a log with companies I worked for that were responsible for the demographics, just to cover my backside. If you don't it's the client's word against yours if the wrong info gets entered. If you want names just e-mail me.
Why do you say that? There are other jobs.

TT, 3 jobs?
I have just started on a hospital account. Not the best hours, have to work the major holidays, and miss things etc. Have my original job, does not pay well. Starting on another service to try it out. Now, considering TT. I was thinking with all the raves about TT, I would make that my main job (working 3rd shift) so I can do things with my family and during the holidays which I could not do with the hospital. I don't know what to do now that I hear TT might not have work for me as I need to support my family (I would take 3rd shift). I am curious as to comments. The other service job I am trying out I hear has great benefits but inflexible. Gave me the schedule I want but will be demanding in that they check line counts daily. I know this is confusing, but trying to sort out. TTers should I take the job and dump the hospital so I can enjoy the holidays and keep another job on the side? Or keep the hospital and forget any flexibility. Any comments appreciated. Thanks

Have you just been applying recently? This is the slowest time for transcription, and a lot of companies might not be hiring at the moment because of work shortages. Keep in touch with them on an occasional basis. Regarding the comments about Amphion, I can't agree. I do a wide variety of transcription with them, some clinical, much acute care, and much surgical. The secret for me was to be willing to transcribe multiple accounts and all specialities. It's a great company to work for, and I'd recommend them. Good luck in your job search!
It's not just our jobs...
I saw on the news that there are web sites where you can assign tasks for people in India and Korea to do your web searches for just one dollar a day.  One lady pays $30.00 per month and she has this task person look up whether she can buy a certain color shoes at a certain store.  She's a marketing executive with just not enough time on her hands to complete all of her tasks, so she pays.  Of course now it is even more advertised since it was on the news.  They even showed a foreign person with a headset smiling and just ready to perform all of your tasks that you cannot get done.  Can you imagine?  So, it is not just transcription, it is everything.
