You can post a resume unlike the one you provided your current employer and give yourself

a name like Provided Upon Contact. Set up a hotmail or yahoo email and go that route. When services contact you (and they will if you have what they're looking for) and it's not the service you work for presently, then you can respond to them.
Good Luck.

To tell current employer or not? SM
I am currently looking for a new job. I love it where I work now, but need benefits and they do not offer them. On applications they want to know if they can contact current/prior employers. I certainly don't want to put no (as I'm quite sure that would raise a red flag), but I just worry how my current employer will react if he gets a call from prospective new employers asking about me.
Should I write my current employer and explain why I'm looking for work rather than let him be shocked to get a call out of the blue? Guess I already know the answer, but am so worried. Would hate to burn my bridges if the new job doesn't work out. Ugh...I sound terrible.
What would you do?
Thanks!
I was hired by my current employer over
the phone on the first interview, the day I sent my resume in; no tests or anything; and there was no way they checked my references before the call (I got a call 30 min. after emailing them). I never heard from anyone whether they had or not. I wouldn't worry about it.
Just an FYI, my current employer asked about the many different
companies I had worked for and made a comment something like I see you've been quite a few different nationals. I simply stated that MTs jumping from job to job is the nature of the industry these days what with losing work to offshoring to India without any prior notice. That seemed to be a satisfactory answer.
I think more supervisors than we know realize that the MT industry is tough these days and they know that MTs will work for a number of different companies looking for adequate work flow or good fit.
Then you have to consider too that new services pop all of the time or disappear. Bigger companies buy them out and they cease to exist or a supervisor leaves a company and starts her own. So as much as MTs jump around a lot, one could certainly use the excuse that I've really only worked for three companies, but all were bought out by bigger companies so I list them all on my resume.
The bottom line is to say you discard resumes if an MT has jumped around too much is absurd and you've probably missed out on some really good, professional MTs. That's just my take on it.
Oh and it never hurts to through in I'm looking for a place to call home... in an interview too. Sups love that stuff!
I was hired by my current employer without
a test. I applied, was called within 30 min. and hired on the spot with a raise to what I was making at the Q. You don't always have to test.
They asked you about your current employer. What's unethical about that? nm

It is always okay to not give 2 weeks to an employer who is not paying you.
By not paying you, your employer has broken the employment agreement. My husband runs a small construction company and begs, borrows, and lets his bills go unpaid before he EVER makes his employees wait for a check. They are also paid immediately following a payperiod, not a week, or 2, or when we decide to get a check in the mail.
I was in this situation with my last employer. I did start to e-mail my supervisor that I was not working until I was paid. Of course, that ended up cutting off my nose to spite my face, so I went job hunting.
Lastly, from a business standpoint, if your employer cannot go to a bank for a short-term note to cover payroll until their payments come in, you are on the verge of a huge problem. Our credit is far from perfect, even including a bankruptcy 6 years ago, but my relationship is good enough with my bank if I went in and asked for an emergency operating note, we would get it. If your employer cannot or will not do this, it's time to find a more stable company.
I will give the resume a shot and apply! At least you
are passionate in defending your company - at this point in my experience with my company, I wish I felt the same way. So, to me, I'll try to look at your passion as a good sign for KS!
Current employees can you give me info? sm
Considering sending WebMedX my resume. How are they? Pros, cons, no bashers please.
CURRENT Diskriter MT's; can give you me any pros
nm
Can anyone give me current info on SmartMed?
I want to know how flexible they are with their IC positions and how easy the platform is. Do they really work IC or are they just employees without the benefits?
Can you give me a name of a current person to contact to speak with.
:
I did not know you could post your resume...
How do you attach it?
post your resume on the various job boards.
I've had offers from several companies that don't advertise positions for whatever reason. I have had my current position 5 years from a company that didn't advertise, though they now do.
Maybe post your resume to let people
Other person needs a massage!
Post your resume on the job boards and see
what response you get.
I would never, ever post my resume, period.
It takes a little more work on my part but never would I just leave that information out there for anyone to see that I don't agree with having access to it.
The sad part is that I did not post my resume

Post your resume at mtjobs.com (sm)
I did and have been contacted by 4 companies. Talked on the phone to 2 different people and 1 was definitely better than the other in terms of pay. I'm just doing this to fill a gap until I get more clients for my own company but it's a living.
Post your resume on the job boards. Most companies
want 2 years of recent experience, but with your extensive experience I'm sure some companies would be willing to offer you a chance, but could depend on the disability. If the disability was due to mental health issues you might have problems more than if you had a physical disability.
Do you think you get a better response to post your resume on here or answer ads on here. Which one
seems to give the best result.
Post you resume on the various job boards, read the job
boards, Monster.com, CareerBuilders, etc. and respond to ads. Typically training positions are opened to in-house people first, or in the case of my company the QA people train/mentor new employees.
Search the Job Seeker board and post your resume. (SM)
Then evaluate the results for yourself.
Has anyone tried to send a resume to the post from Medical Transcription Services - sm
My attempts have all bounced back to my email address saying
The message that you sent was undeliverable to the following:
Jobs (UNUSED) I went on to their website and the email it says to send resumes to is jobs@transcriptionoutsourcing.com, which is the one I used. Just wanted to see if anyone else got this problem...
Unlike TransTech (see below)
OSi DOES have rude and condescending QA, sends threatening e-mails, places the whole team on 100% QA if one person makes a mistake, monitors your every move with IMs, and I'm pretty sure they install keystroke monitors on your PCs (not certain though). Most of the managers are unqualified and made their way to the top by brown-nosing and threats. Don't go there - please.
Unlike you who treats everyone with respect, you mean?
Sometimes it just takes time to find the right fit. I wouldn't buy the first house I saw, and one should not be satisfied with a job until it's one you can actually wake up and feel good about working it. There are a LOT of companies out there who deserve bashing. Maybe you should learn to be more tolerant of others' opinions - we are, after all, all entitled to them.

Current post-merger transcenders
I would like to hear from current transcenders, who became part of Transcend through a merger (like MDI-FL, etc).
Did transcend maintain your current line rate, and if you don't mind, were you making more than 9 cpl? If you were moved to VR, how did they calculate that rate? Did they tell you that all MTs receive say 50% for VR or did they just tell you what your individual line rate would be for VR?
Just to clarify, I'm not asking you specifically how much you make, but rather if they reduced the rate your previous company was paying you and how they determine the VR rate.
Unlike the poster below, I did not find the ESLs good dictators at FN. sm
In fact, in my over 20 years of experience, they were the worst I have ever heard. We got way more than 3 e-mails a day, too. More like 10 to 15, beginning for help and sometimes bordering on threatening. If you are really good with ESLs, you MIGHT do okay. But who wants to put up with that?!? No bennies either. Glad I am long long gone. The grass really is greener.

I can also give you a positive post. sm
I also work at Spheris and have had a very good experience. Great supervisor, good accounts, nice team.
Umm, MDI doesn't know who she is by her post so she isn't obligated to give a good exp.
I'm sure MDI doesn't appreciate the lies and people posting like they know something when they don't but I doubt they mind someone posting in their defense re: pure crap posts.
Thank you, we all get sick of 1 bored girl after another posting negatively to a post. Give it a br

No PC is provided. You must have your own. nm

You can make it up provided there is enough
work for all the others who need to make up too. They hired MTs to do a Friday-Monday shift so there was rarely excess work on the weekends to be able to make up a shortage. Some shifts have more work available than others during the week so may be easier to make it up then.
Equipment provided
 Looking to change companies. I am currently using a company computer and don't want to have to buy a new one for work. Can anyone tell me which companies provide the necessary computer equipment?
P.S. ShortCuts is provided at no cost ...sm

I concur. If the MR is not provided, and you are unsure you are

I provided several months for a company
as they appeared legit - offered me position and then never contacted me again. Will never do again. With today's identify theft being #1 crime in the nation - way too risky. I was told it was needed as they were going to do background. I should have done more background on them!!
No equipment provided. This was for an IC position. NM

Provided you are performing the line
count they are performing. Have to make sure it is 65 characters, but with or without spaces. It is amazing how many people work for an MTSO and don't know how the line count is counted. Also, different programs count different ways.
P.S....or if facility is closing and provided that
Which they almost certainly would in most cases. This law has NOT proven to provide the protection for laid off workers that you seem to imagine.
When I worked there last year they provided me
a C-phone.

MT has gone from being considered a secure job that provided a comfortable (sm)
middle-class living, to what it is now - sweatshop labor -with near 3rd-world conditions when it comes to how little it pays, loss of benefites, and how much one must work in order to earn half of what they made 15 years ago. Why am I still in it? Because I made the mistake of putting all my eggs in the MT basket years ago, when I was still young enough to change careers. But back then I didn't need or want to change careers. Now I'm too old to go back to school long enough to learn anything I could do that would pay decently (who wants a 70-year-old newbie at ANYthing?), and yet still a good 15 years away from retirement. So, although I keep looking around for something else, there is very little I could do at home on my own computer. I'm so burnt-out on offices & management that I doubt I could ever go back to an office ever again. The thought turns my stomach. I'm just hoping that I'll have enough in Soc. Security benefits when I'm finally eligible that I'll be able to get by on that AND a full-time (i.e., 60+ hours a week!) MT job.
Company-provided computer does not have printer with it.
Help out with this situation? Company's software is not compatible with Vista (my personal computer) yet, so I have no access to printer in order to print IM, if that is possible. Further help?
