but sometimes the subject matter is hard, like abused kids. On the flip side, sometimes very interesting or wild subject matter! Long reports. Mostly straight typing with very few terms to learn. You should have no problem if your dictators are good. Have fun!

I'd say you were with MQ currently.  As a fellow MQer (just gave notice yesterday), I picked up on the c-pool term ASAP.  At any rate, I also have 10 years experience and do about the same work types you do.  I've interviewed with 3 different companies in the last few months and the offers ranged from 8.5 to 9.5.  Benefits on the lower offer and IC status on the higher offer.  I did notice that the companies were more interested in my cardiology procedures more than anything, so if you have that experience, you might want to bring it to their attention.  I didn't push much with the lower offer since it required a schedule and 30+ hours per week, etc, which I really don't want.  I did push on the higher offer to see if I could get an increase if I maintained a higher line count than the minimum required and  got it. 

Hope this info helps your search.  Gotta get outta that place!!!

but if it is difficult due to the quality of the sound or the fact that the dictator talks at the speed of light and/or has some ESL accent so thick and hard to decipher that no one can understand him/her, then I would pass as I would think that represents the type of dictation I would be transcribing on a daily basis.  Ironically, it is usually a company with that type of work that offers you 7 cpl and asks for MTs with tons of experience.   I have over 30 years of experience, and I just say no thanks.

Just my opinion ...... I feel lucky to have found what I consider to be a great full-time job as well as a great part-time job, but I have sure seen lots of crummy dictation while testing as well as laughable pay scales.

Hi,

I have already been through a what you call a match box MT school and I feel I need more training but do not need a complete course again.  Do you know any place that offer a basic course in MT that is legit? 

Thanks,

MT

before any differentials, bonuses, incentive pay, etc. 

I also have not received my cable reimbursement.  Guess I'll have to call and ask Debbie. 

and now offering direct deposit.   This is a great company to work for.  It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin.  The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children.   There is plenty of work and you use  Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe.  The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English.   I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not  think of working anywhere else.  Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!

Anyone know about this company out of Palmdale, CA?  I looked in search but could not find anything.  Thanks
