Yes, 6 cpl is low but three years is NOT a lot of experience. It takes that long to become sm

semi-proficient and we look for at least 5 years because of that. I would not go higher than 7 cpl with only three years experience and I think this is starting to be the norm.
Think of other fields ... plumbing apprentices, electrician apprentices, printing apprentices, etc. It takes 5 years to be a journeyman. They start at $8.00/hour and move to cap which is around $30/hour but it takes 10 years to get there.
Even teachers ... it takes 5-10 years to get top pay.
Any field.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get (sm)
equipment deposit of $300 back from Spheris once you return their equipment? I don't know who to contact. All I get is a voice mail without a return call. Thank you.
Anyone know how long it takes to
get test results back from Precyse Solutions. Are they as good as their website claims?
Anyone know how long it takes
quitting Spheris? Thanks!
let's see how long it takes for THIS to get pulled
we have actually been told in the past to not post about them -- it's THAT BAD. Womanizing horrible ignorant piece of crap company that doesn't give a rip about you. If you like being treated like an idiot -- go for it!
Sometimes takes twice as long to edit?
I just finished my first hour of VRing and I did 561 lines, that is at 4 cents a line and that equals to over $22 for that hour. I could never straight transcribe that many lines in 1 hour.
Depends on how long it takes to get your ID from the facility. SM
Once that happens, they get you installed and going pretty quickly.
You can probably call them about the Lanier unit to see if they have any to rent to own.
When I worked with them, the insurance was very expensive and not very good. They have promised to get better, but that has been going on for a long, long time.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the computer deposit SM
back after returning the computer? Thanks.
Anyone know how long it takes to get contacted by Precyse after testing?
Any idea how long it takes to hear from All Type? sm
I've submitted my resume for their QA position, and I haven't heard anything back yet. I was wondering if this could be due to the convention in Boston, or is this just the new trend in the application process? I've also submitted my resume to other companies, and there have been quite a few who haven't given even a short reply.
I know it's not because of a lack of experience, because I've been doing MT for over 15 years and QA for over 5. Any ideas of a great place to send my resume?
Do you know how long it typically takes them to respond to resumes sent in?

After testing for First Choice, can anyone tell me how long it takes to hear back? nm

I typed on a line that long way back when. Would NEVER do it again. Takes forever

Recently tested for MxSecure and just wondering if anyone can tell me how long it usually takes (sm)
to hear back from them. I felt like I did pretty good on the test, but I was just wondering if it usually takes a while for them to get back to you?
TIA!
Tested with TT last week. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to response back.
I need a job...yesterday... I've been applying like crazy but cannot find anything worth taking. I'm getting pretty desperate but still not enough to take 3 cpl for VR but check back next week LOL
Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?
Will they get back to you?
You can't eat out, yet you are happy with a job that takes 5 years to learn, and couldn't pay
Sounds like a great job to me. Downsizing our minds too. I will be these companies are hooting and hollerging in their second homes, vacations, which we rarely get and still sleep soundly at night. Something is very wrong with this picture.
Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
Six years is a long time.
Yes, I would completely ignore the opinions on this board. There are a lot of unhappy people that post here. I have a feeling that the people that are so negative here are the same people that would be difficult to work with in an office situation. The only difference here is that you can hit that delete button and forget about it.
I have not experienced anything like you did. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.
My experience of "working with me to get more lines" took too long! I can't sit back and wa
Just my experience!
oops, meant 10+ years--it's been a long day!! nm

They've been around for years. Some of us old-timers applied long

7.25 cpl - 12 years experience

With how many years of experience ?
x
I have 18 years of experience and yet
I got sent a letter telling me to reapply when I had more experience.
They would not tell me what I missed on their testing. I know I did not do that badly.
You can have them.
I have 20 years experience....
they wanted to pay me $10/hr for the first 30 days. Puleeze.
And how many years experience do you have?
nm
I have 10 years of experience, that's how.nm

5 years experience?
All of the companies I'm finding want someone with 5+ years experience.
Does anyone know a good nationwide company that would be happy with 2-1/2 years experience?
Gee...I have over 30 years experience
and I STILL use reference books and websites to look things up and verify spellings, words, etc. Maybe that explains why you were let go better than anything else. With the rapid advances and changes in medicine...I don't think that anyone ever gets to know enough to stop using references.
19 years experience was not enough. Wow!
I'm kinda curious who did get the job, maybe someone with 40 years experience =)
I have 23 years experience
and I still run into grammar errors; part of it was the last company I worked for made me do some very strange things. But, also, it's because since my schooling 23 years ago, somethings really have changed, and I myself have gotten fairly lax about it. The last company I worked for didn't correct anything; be thankful for the criteria, and LEARN from it. This will make you a BETTER mt.
I have nearly 20 years' of experience and have
recently started exploring options. I have been offered 10 cpl as employee and 11 as an IC with a couple of companies. The lowest I've been offered is 9 cpl as employee.
It should be 20 years' experience OR 20 years of experience
the apostrophe takes the place of the OF.
Well, my experience is from a few years ago (sm)
but at that time they were fine to work with. They always paid on time. I actually had to re-record on my account, but like I said, that was probably closer to 4 years ago now. I remember that the people were nice as well. I ended up moving on because for one reason or other they lost the account I was working on, and I was already an IC for another company at that time, but the parting was on good terms. I'd work with them again.
17 years experience.
Loved your toast!!
I have 5 years of experience
going on 6, and I was just offered 9.5 cpl for straight typing on an ER account, and I can't wait to start this week.
Ten years experience and
Yes I listen 100%.... I could never do blanks only on any of the MTs as they still all make enough errors to make the dangerous.
I have more than 15 years of experience.
It was not my fault that they could not get their ducks lined up in a row.
Just because you have 30 years experience (sm)
doesn't mean there isn't much to still learn. I too have almost 30 years experience. Believe me, when I first started with WMX, I was shown how much I didn't know that I thought I did.
I have learned so much in the last couple of years with WMX. That's the difference between a company with a good, responsive QA dept as opposed to one with no or limited QA.
I have over 20 years of experience - sm
I can't get them to answer my resume when I sent it TWICE. I know they employed a gal who had absolutely no experience so maybe they thought I knew too much or wanted to much $$ and didn't even ask??
over 30 years rad experience -
not worried about the test. Just can't afford to give up insurance where I am, so looking for a good part-time option. Thanks for all the replies! I will definitely look into it further. 
Even with 20 years of experience
I did work on-site, and when I left, they had to realize the hard way all that I did for them. I am the one laughing now all of the way to the bank.
Hey on-site job, thanks for the experience because I'm making close to $50.00 an hour now. Thanks to you and your networking, I gained my own accounts and a great name for myself!!! 
Again - it was several YEARS ago when I had a bad experience
//
PS & that was with 20 years' experience
NM
many years of experience
You can't expect to make 35-40K per year with just one year of experience under your belt -- it takes a LOT of time and patience as well as discipline -- meaning ignore the phone during the day and set one or two days to do all your errands -- plus its a lot of hours.
I have 15 years experience
and I get paid 6 cents for speech recognition and 10 cents for transcription. But all of their dictation is being moved to speech recognition, from what I have been told.
With 25 years' experience...
I can get a job anywhere...For a company to let a skilled MT go simply because he/she cannot be manipulated would constitute complete idiocity on the part of the company. I would never accept such a position. My time is MY TIME and my life is MY LIFE.
Anyone???? I have 15 years experience, sm
I know the pay scale is lower now but need to know roughly what the starting pay is before I waste my time testing.
I do all work types.
Thanks in advance.
I have almost 10 years of experience...
and have never worked for a national - therefore, I've never seen this kind of information come up in demographics. I get a copy of the patient list from the clinic that only has the patient's name and clinic ID number, no social security number or anything like that and there's only a DOB if it's a new patient.
We should be screaming harder about all this information going off shore, but not at each other - take out your anger on our government that has allowed this to happen!!!!! Write your senator, write your representative, write Obama!
Almost 4 years of experience and I have
2 jobs. Both pay 9 cpl. One job has a very nice production bonus and if I type over 12,000 lines in a pay period, I get 9.5 cpl for all lines typed. If I type over 13,000 lines in a pay period, I get 9.75 cpl for all lines typed and if I type over 15,000 lines in a pay period I get 10 cpl for all lines typed.
These are both clinic accounts specializing in cardiology, so I only type one specialty. I consider myself very lucky. My first day of transcription work was March 29, 2005, so I am right at 4 years. I don't believe it will get any better and realize that I am probably maxed out as far as line rates.
