Suggestions for "on-call" job?
I'd like to work on-call for a company and work only as they need me when work levels are high. I wondered if anyone had ever heard of any place that would be interested in hiring a PT person for this.
I'd like to find an "on-calL" position too, but not for 6 cpl. sm
Surely you can find something better than that -- it is truly awful pay for an IC, particularly since you say you have 10 years of experience. I have over 30 years of experience, and I have come to realize that I have to respect the knowledge and experience that I would bring to a position and just say no to these horrible wages. The right position will come along.
Good luck to you! 
for "on this board:".........sm
I only pointed this mistake out, since this poster indicated that newbies would not be able to differentiate between 'peroneal' and 'perineal.' I tell you that they can.
You should stand in the corner, not I.
Sorry, should be "on" Silent Type. nm

Compensation not listed
Has anyone else ever emailed a company when they do not list their rate of compensation only to be ignored? This really irks me. Why can't they just list what they are offering so we don't have to waste our time? This really annoys me. 
Do they have an ad up currently? They were listed on the other Job board, but I don't see them
s
There are several companies you listed
that are not Indian companies. Several of them offshore, but they are U.S. companies.
There are a lot more than 3 jobs listed on
x
The two listed on ad post are former
They were there when I was working with YOG until Medquist ruined it all. They left because of all the garbage going on. I was hoping they could get things going strong with FutureNet.
You listed the basic ones
Let's not forget about burping, yawning, coughing, sneezing, chewing/eating....... the list goes on.
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line
NM
Saw them listed as places to do internship (sm)
for MT training from Penn Valley.
just mainly wanting to know if the location was north of the river.
look to the left it is listed under Medquist
right underneath company board
I was black listed because I refused a job with TRS
Then, I was told they called the other company I as going back to and I would not be allowed to go back there either. Lucky for me, I had 2 jobs already.
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..
They are listed at the AAMT site, if that
means anything. The name Medical Records Corp was also connected to a company that was bought by MQ in the early days. That was a very good company. I can't find a website for this MRC out of MD, but I would be interested to hear anything you learn.
It's TRX...the OP listed on the title of her post
Not JobSeekers, but the JobBank. One job listed.
:)
they're not listed on Manta.com

There is no suite number listed. I did not see one.
945 E. Paces Ferry is a building full of offices. Where did you see the office suite number and what is it? I live in Atlanta and can go see for myself ---that is, if I have a suite number.
Client names cannot be listed here.
They are listed on MTIndia with 3 locations in India.
Go to MTIndia Job Center.
Could you possibly email me at my address listed above..sm
and tell me on average how many lines you can do in an hour? I know there are a lot of variables to consider but it would give me some idea of what I might expect too. I have 28 years experience and consider myself quite good, but I know sometimes the software, demographics, etc. can slow you down. Also, is there a lot of work on the accounts? I like to do about 2000 lines a day. Thank you for taking the time to help me.
There is a transcriptionist job listed in my local newspaper (sm)
It says fax CV to ---
Does anyone know what CV means? The only think I can think of is maybe Certificate Verification?
Thanks.
On a jobs board. It is listed as a supervisor.
Many usually ask how to get into companies as a recruiter. This is one chance I guess but you do have to have experience according to the ad if I recall in MT and QA.
When I hired on they stated the account was listed as 30-35% ESL (sm)
but they thought the percentage might be a litte higher. I have had quite a few ESL, probably closer to 45-50%, but only one was what I considered really horrible and when I went back, QA had left some blanks too, so I didn't feel too bad.
Have been doing this for 20+ years and I still say I would rather have an ESL anyday compared to a mushmouthed speed demon.
So far everything about them and the account I am on has held true to what they said. Very nice people, good sound quality and the program is easy to work on.
AND.. number they listed comes up as residential, isn't this a business??
Being nice but still smell a rat
What?! Do you have your number listed in the phone book?
This is the same info they can get out of the phone book, i.e., name, address, and phone number. This is not what they use to commit identify theft. They would use the general information from your resume to phish for more detailed information, such as SS# or bank account/cc account info. This is also what they would get out of your trash if for some reason you don't shred this info before you throw it out. Also, with past employers, they are only allowed to give basic info, such as length of employment and whether you're eligible for rehire. They can be held legally responsible if they give out detailed information about you!
I am very realistic that I'm not immune to identify theft, but also I know the law and know that I shouldn't be paranoid about someone stealing my identity. I take the appropriate steps to protect myself and monitor my credit report frequently.
OSI good company to work for and others listed
Any info would be appreciated about these companies. Incentive pay/medical premiums, good accounts, Word-based platforms?
What about Transolutions, Med-Scribe, MedWare, Northeast Transcription, E-MTS, JLG. I know there is a lot here but I am tired of bouncing around this past year. Want to find a place to make a decent living and stay put!! Need good bennies, decent platform, decent account, and plenty of work. I know, I know that is what we all want isn't it?
Thanks!!!
It seems that recruiter is still listed on Medware's website as well as
MedScribe's. That is really strange.
Google has them listed as a dangerous website.
I found a temporary homepage at another link when I Googled, but that's as far as I could get without the Google page to beware if you continue.
Regular and VR lines are listed separately
NM
Most of the weekend workers you listed make more than some
of the MTs on the board, so are they not getting better pay than the MT? Certainly, the baby-delivering doctor, the cops, the tip-receiving club works, blah, blah, blah.
Since your reply doesn't even address the actual question being asked, how selfish of you to take up valuable space on the board to vent your indignation about others.
Anyone have any info on MT Professional listed on Seekers board? nm
nm
Their specs on listed on their nicely designed website..
,
OK, here's the deal. If they really had clients in all those cities listed, there would be SOMET
on Google and there is nothing. Janelle Axelrod? Never heard of her and there are few people that I haven't at least heard of in this business. Same office building as Transcend? Not likely. That is in the high rent district in Buckhead and a fairly new transcription company who nobody has ever heard of cannot afford that kind of rent. Something is really wrong with this picture.
Of the MTSOs listed on the eScription website, should I run away from any of them?? Bad news? sm

these posts are over 2 years old. I have experienced NONE of the problems others have listed. sm
Obviously, they made some changes when they moved. Maybe they had an unscrupulous person working there before?? I do not know, but i have ALWAYS gotten paid! I certainly would not have stayed for 1.5 years if the scenario was any different.
Found the link listed inside in google
concerning this.

They're not listed on MTD's Companies list. Maybe do a Yahoo search? nm

Sure I got the email, I stand corrected. Three titled employees are listed & there is one more
that simply has not been announced yet. I will say again, could be nothing at all, could just be a change of guard. Didn't say whatever was going on was good or bad, but wondered what is going on. I will be the first to say change is often a very, very good thing and I am hoping for good!
Here is a copy of the owner's post the last time the help-wanted ad was listed;
I would like to comment on your posts, as it is my help-wanted ad you are discussing. I have attempted to put as many details into my ad as possible, in order to answer all possible questions anyone might have before applying. My ad is not meant to be overbearing, rude, or pushy, but I realize it might appear that way to others because of all of the fine details I have written into it. I have amended the ad many times over the years due to certain situations that have occured. The part about if you love animals is due to the fact that I had a Transcriptionist working with me, who later told me that she did not like animals. Since she did not like animals, it reflected in her work, which is probably because the work did not hold her interest.
I have read a lot of really vicious posts about myself and my company, none of which I feel are justified. I am sure I have hurt some feelings when returning test results and when informing others that they do not appear to be compatible with the current position, but I have always been diplomatic in my emails and polite when conducting phone interviews.
I would like to set the record straight and let everyone know that I do NOT send out real work, hoping someone will do my job for me. When I test someone, they are typing actual dictation files, but the reports have already been typed and returned to the clinic. When testing potential applicants, I only send out two small dictation files at the most (sometimes only one), and the person below is obviously confused, or is blatently lying.
Also, regardless of what some people might be saying/thinking, there are at least four new clinics that open each year. In the past six years, I have had five people leave their jobs voluntarily for their own personal reasons. My newest ad is posted because I have been short-handed for some time now due to all of the unexpected clinics thrown at me and because I recently had a transcriptionist pass away unexpectedly.
I personally take the time to train each new person, and I can only handle training one person at a time because I have many other duties during the day, such as invoicing, payroll, emails, phone calls, typing the work from my own assigned clinics, etc. It takes at least one month for each new person to feel comfortable enough to go on their own with the work, so I am constantly behind on getting all of the clinics covered. As soon as one transcriptionist is out of training, I post my help-wanted ad and start all over again. Believe me, I would like nothing more than to hire someone and put them on their own right away, which would make my life a lot easier! However, the vet group I type for is very picky, which I can only blame on myself because they are spoiled and accustomed to having things done a specific way.
I could write a book in trying to defend myself and my company name, but, unfortunately, I no longer have the time to chat with other transcriptionists like I used to do years ago. My main reason for posting a response is because I realize these posts will remain on the board for a very long time to come, and I am hoping potential applicants are not deterred from applying because of what has been posted at this site.
Mine listed Thurs. and Fri. as official company "holiday" but then said we have to work Fri un

You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're

Call them......
Since the Warminster office is being absorbed into the Northeast Region, the only ones who can answer that question for you is the Warminster office itself. I've worked for them for years and have plenty of work - my accounts haven't gone anywhere.
Yes. I get what they call
a tiered incentive on my checks and then get quarterly bonuses to boot. I was quite impressed actually. I started at 8.75 cpl and can earn up to 2 cpl incentive plus the bonuses.
We got Labor day incentives too...$40 for the first 800 lines and $20 for every 400 lines after that.
It may all fall apart but right now I'm happy.
If you truly cannot call, perhaps
it is time to find work with another MTSO/company? That way when one is slow, you will have another as a backup? This is, of course, assuming you are an IC. If you are an employee having communications issues where you cannot even call your employer, I would start looking elsewhere.
I could call and say
I could call and say I I couldn't work that day if I was sick or if my daughter was sick, things like that, but I've never done that with the exception of a few weeks ago when my husband had open heart surgery and I ended up not working for 3 days.
I could call and say
But the point is I would never do that. I have to have a very good reason why I wouldn't work.
Why not just CALL them?
