Instead of only applying with companies that advertise heavily,
try Googling for transcription companies, perhaps in your home state, and go to their websites. They usually have a way to apply on their website, and they won't be receiving 300 resumes the same day yours arrives. Send your resume to several and you might hit the timing right with one or two, or perhaps they will keep your resume for when they do have an opening.
I though offshore companies could not advertise on this site?
Guess I am wrong about that.
Why do companies advertise for jobs if they have no work?
I lost my job with a big offshoring company a couple of months ago. I knew it was coming so I started applying for jobs and sending my resume for posted jobs. The company that hired me responded to my resume submission within 2 HOURS and I was hired the next day. They had an immediate need, speciality I love, good pay. Now, a couple of months later I am getting calls and e mails from companies that I applied to months ago. One recruiter said, I don't know when we received your application, it was probably 90 days ago. During this same time period I have seen the Q advertise twice, claiming they have steady work (????) Of course, after reading posts here I would not even consider any offer from them. A lady from Spheris e mailed and ask that I let her know a time I could interview some time in the next several weeks.
I don't get it. If you do not have work, why are you posting jobs? I would consider this a big red flag.
Don't work for them and don't drive them.

Yes, it drive me nuts too
I think I work for the same company as you!
hard drive
If you just delete the icon or link to it, yes, it will still be on your hard drive. If you go into Control Panel and Remove Program it will be deleted from the hard drive.
But if you don't drive as part of your MT job,
then why would there be a reimbursement? Or do you pick up and deliver tapes? Or work in house?
How can 1 person drive someone away sm
from a job when everyone works at home? At least I think everyone is working at home. I have worked places where I didn't like the people I worked with, but as long as I don't have to look at them all day what do I care?
I am starting to believe there is a certain percentage of people in MT (at whatever level) who are unbelievably sensitive to the point where they cannot work with or for anybody, either because they get upset over some imagined insult or because they are trying to be the top dog and aren't.
They have to drive a whole 10 miles. I am so jealous.
WOW. They have to drive a whole ten miles. I am so jealous. Since MANAGEMENT is based in Madison, Wisconsin and it takes 20 minutes to travel from one end of the city to the other, I do not think driving through the snow for a SPA weekend is all that much of a bonus. Now Cancun. That would be a bonus.
won't it still be stored on the hard drive?
or do you not need to worry about that?
That's where they are, on Park Place Drive according

Wow, are you blessed! I have 3 hospitals in a 25-min. drive &

Residents and PAs drive me crazy
I have a resident who NEVER, EVER gives the patient's name.
I have a PA who can't pronounce meds let alone spell them ~ she says solatol, Spivira ~ and one time on a discharge summary, she listed 50 diagnoses. Took up a whole page. It was insane.
I'll take drive-bys any day over beheadings
STAY AWAY if you want to keep your sanity. They drive you crazy sm
with the constant changes. Every once in a while, the owner says she can't pay payroll and you have to wait but she does always pay eventually. It stays on track for several months and then happens again.
I thought I had it good there until I went to another service and found out that drama is not the daily norm for other companies.
The owner is a little nuts, but I probably would be in her shoes.
I also know that they are not as big as they lead people on to believe. Makes me wonder what else is not quite the truth.
Best move I made was to leave.
Would you please email me. I have a few questions before I drive myself nuts with this. nm
:
You will have to completely format the hard drive first
delete any partitions and create a new partition, format the C drive and then install Windows XP. I have done this a ton of times and have had no problems.
Well, goodie for you, Flo! I'd be happy if I was Dairy Queen drive-through material
job for which I'm no way qualified to be in too.
Congratulations! Glad you're happy!
That's probably most of them except for the top 5-7 that advertise over and

Yes, we DO advertise for MT's!
Why do you thik it's so? It's because we are getting new accounts each and every week. How do you like them apples? It's because we have very high standards and have to replace those who can't cut it. Its because we LOVE giving people work when they are in need of work to earn a living for their families, and we have plenty for them to make a very good living. We have a huge recruiting team because we are always in search of the best, the brightest, the most ethical, the most honest, the hardest working and the most successful of all the MT's around. We are NOT interested in those who spend hours chating in various gripe boards when you should be typing. It clearly explains why either you are NO longer here, or why you couldn't get here in the first place.
They sure advertise like crazy!
Hope its cuz they have lots 'O work?
They advertise they start at 8 cpl
and go to 10, so you know this one has a few wires crossed upstairs. n
Trying to Advertise my letter...
in the Toledo Blade myself. They told me that the advertising managers will have to review my article and decide if they will let me do it. I don't know what it will cost to do it, but I am sure going to try!!!!
I will send it to Lou Dobbs now.
Transhealth-They used to advertise all the sm
time here for MTs, haven't seen an ad in forever. Wonder why?
They seem to advertise a good bit .... SM
often on MTJobs.com which is where their current ad is.
They used to advertise they pay scale as -
9-11 cpl. PRN status is 7.5 cpl. From what I heard recently, they are trying to lower their MT pay expense (not investment), so if you ever were to get off 9 cpl it would surprise me.
The good ones don’t advertise? Then why, tell me
when I looked at the listings for jobs at only the 10th one down I found an ad from Transcend? I guess they have to go over to the bad companies, right for advertising?
Email the website where they advertise for MTs - sm
They will remove them from future advertising as they are reputable website.
I have not seen them advertise in a long time.
I have never heard anything negative about them to my recollection though.
I have not seen them advertise in a long time.
I know their recruiter left and I really have not seen any ads. They do have a banner on this site though.
When I advertise, I give all that information as
well as all information related to the job.
I worked for one company once that had their pre-canned ads. I hated them because they told nothing. They did give their website, but it was way old.
I agree that all companies that advertise for MTs need to give their website
How did you come to apply with them? I have never heard of them or seen them advertise.
Wish you the best though
Could someone please explain to me how Focus can advertise for a QC
when they just laid off a bunch of people and told them they had nothing to offer them but transcription?
P.S. - I don't even know why they are allowed to advertise on this board because....sm
their US QA gets audited by guess who??? The team leaders which are not from the US and are based overseas....lovely, eh?
They will advertise and talk hourly, but sm
when the actual offer comes, it is BY LINE ONLY. M.L. is posting on any web site that will have him about his job openings and they are now so desperate they will take an MT with only 8 months experience.
does Amphion advertise that they now offshore?
nm
Same here. Too much fuzz and static on the lines. Redid the hard drive, new phones, new sound card,
n
I got a travel mug! I work at HOME. I drive 10 miles a week. I don't drink coffee. Sheesh! lo
nm
Was I dreaming or did a certain company advertise for ESL MTs at 15 to 20 cpl a week or so ago and
now it's suddenly 9 to 13 cpl? I tried to take their test and one of the questions they asked was what you were making. 
Maybe I was dreaming. I copied the ads I applied to and that one seems to be missing.
Did you see that they want 9 test files done??!! And they advertise as a Global
s
I never see any postings about Accuscribe of SC. They evidently don't advertise (sm)
for help much, that could be a good thing.
Any info?
http://www.ustranscription.com/....they advertise on a different job board...nm
;o)
I personally don't advertise in the Yellow Pages because I was getting a lot of sm
calls from housewives who know how to type *real good*. Or people who wanted to do this because they saw in a magazine that you can make a lot of money in your free time!
Transcend does. If you look, they advertise on the Jobs board but they admit that
they send work overseas.
They advertise on the "other" jobs board. Lots of posts about them here. nm
s
Just curious why Focus Infomatics is being allowed to advertise here. Totally Indian-ran.
TransTech and Medware, are these companies considered large, medium-sized or small companies? (sm)
TIA
Yikes.. That is only inline with companies like Focus and such. "Real" companies pay their MTs
decent rate. I make over 5 cpl editing. So, if I got that slap in the face, I'd be outta there.
Do the research...most companies, and not just MT companies, do not pay for maternity leave...
we get time off but not paid...and I really don't even understand the point of you posting this...
How do you know which companies are Nationals and which are smaller companies.
Is there a list somewhere? I'm new to this.
By "most of the companies", I meant MORE than MT companies.
