This has been "a long time coming" as my late husband used to say whenever we would buy a new car.

Anyway, I'm looking for an excellent company for whom I can work out of my home, at my convenience.  I can provide 30-40 hours per week of service for you.  I will provide my schedule to you on a daily basis and I expect you to make sure that there are a sufficient number of good reports for me to transcribe during that time period.  I expect to be able to accomplish a minimum of 200 lines/hour.  I will give you 90 days to make sure that I am working with clear dictators and am able to accomplish this.  If there is no work available at the same time that I intend to work, I will not be available to "return later" when the work becomes available. 

You must have a AAAA rating per any ex-employee or ex-IC that comments or has commented about you on this forum or any other forum. 

You must have been in business for at least 15 years.  I figure, if you require me to have a certain amount of years of experience, I should require the same from you. 

You must NOT be located in California, Florida, New York, or Utah.  I just do not conduct business with those states.

My charges per line are dependent upon the difficulty of the reports and the clarity of the dictations.  I expect extra premiums for nights and weekends.

Please submit your resume along with 3 business references, 2 banking references and a better business bureau report.  Be sure to include your employer ID numbers and the name of the agency and address where your license is filed.  Please include the number of employees and ICs that you currently have working for you, including the dates on which the last 10 were hired and the dates on which the last 10 resigned, including their length of service and reasons for resignation.  Please be sure to include details regarding the accounts that you intend for me to work with, including worktypes and number of ESL/difficult dictators and any program that you have established for training of those dictators that apparently have no idea what they are doing or how to dictate a clear and concise report, especially with regard to basic dictation etiquette.

Be sure to include your work and home, day and evening phone numbers, both landlines and cell phone numbers, so that I can call you at my convenience.

I will review your materials and contact you if you meet my requirements.

Good luck.

Obviously, it is fictitious; it is not a job wanted ad.  It's simply my rendition of "turn about is fair play", based on a composite of the "help wanted" ads that I've read and experiences that I've had during the job search.

How ingenious..I think this is exactly what the "doctor" ordered!  I'm still .  Let me know where to sign up!

On a more serious note, however, it's sad that we have to seemingly resort to these measures just to get some attention.  Hopefully, the people who need this message loud and clear know, when they read this, it's meant exclusively for them!

Bless you!

volunteered several times to just work half a day, or take the day off so that another MT who needs the lines more than I do can have the opportunity to at least get in a full day of work. 

I don't often have a day where I can't get all my lines in though and there are usually lots of days where I could type 24/7.   My work is assigned to me and I have no idea what any MTs workload may be on any given day.  Most of the time I work extra if the workload warrants it, but there are days too that work may be slow at the beginning of my shift and I'm just not able to work more later in the day to make up the lines.  I'm not complaing about not getting work, but I also don't believe that I need to fit my life and family around my work on a regular basis.  I believe that when an MT is hired FT and the company has expectations of how many lines a day they want the MT to produce, then it is reasonable for the MT to expect work.  I know the business is feast or famine, but if an MT who if FT and wants to work is consistently not getting enough work during their scheduled shift then there is a problem.

I'm very good at what I do, but I work to live, not live to work, and I don't remember signing anything that said I agreed that my life/family came second to MTing. 

I'm wondering how this would work out.  I am an IC for a company, but don't have enough work in my specialty.  I'm not as productive, obviously, when doing a different specialty and am losing money when picking up the left-over work. 

Are there others out there who do specialty work as an IC for 2 or more companies?  Of even do work for a company and also pick up your own accounts that are not through a company?  How has it worked out for you?  Do MTSOs usually dislike this or are they generally okay with it.  I just don't see myself being able to make a living if I have to keep switching gears when there are no jobs for my specialty. 

Thank you for any replies/insight.

and it depends on how many hours you put in to get 400 lines. If you have to do it in 2 hours, it will take you longer to reach that 400 lines than if you have 4 hours or so, especially if you have been out for a while. Once you are working and getting used to it again, you will have no trouble meeting those 400 lines in a few hours, or even less.

that pays for reports that have been typed and then the doctors decides not to use it?  I just did a 13.41 minute report and did not see it in my line count so I went into another program to look it up.  It is in the 'deleted' folder.  I hate this.

My sup's response is "We give you 28 lines for every addendum report or dictated change so it all evens out".  BALONEY!!!!  If a doc dictates "go back to Joe Blow's report and add/take out we are to get 28 lines to type this and put in Q/A and they will correct the report. Same thing if an addendum to a job needs to be done.  I have had none of these jobs for weeks so not getting paid for the 13.41 job does not even out for me.

How does your company handle these types of deleted jobs?

If so, do they know about it?
