Has anyone dealt with transcription matchmaker.com? and if so, good or bad experience? what type of a match did you come out with?, still employed there? All info is much, much appreciated.
Thinking of getting a little help with hope for something good that will last and make my life happy again. Not having good luck on my own. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack and going from the frying pan into the fire. Thought maybe matchmaker can give me the inside scoop before getting involved.
 Thanks for your info.

TM's preemployment test sucks - 3 of 4 reports were the kind you want to drop a bomb on when you get them at your regular job - inappropriate for a preemployment test. Also, I can get these same gigs on my own, thanks.
What is Transcription Matchmaker?
Is this legit or a scam?

Can you tell me what the problems are with this company? I'd seriously like to know - was going to contact them..
Thanks.

In the past, they tended to work with most of the companies who advertise on the majority of the MT job boards anyway. They try to 'match your skills" with what the company may be looking for etc., but really just best in the long run to do the search on your own.

Here is the information that, I believe, another poster had mentioned, but didn't know where to go to find the service.

I'd be happy with just a transcription test
How 'bout a test just on your transcribing skills that can also test your knowledge on spelling, abbreviations, punctuations, etc.? What I don't like are those MTTest.com things that are pages and pages of definitions, abbreviations, punctuation and all that, and THEN the transcription part comes. Can't we roll this all into one??
Happy Medical Transcription Week!
I was rather surprised to not see this on here sooner....
HAPPY MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION WEEK!
I like to know the outcome of certain posts also nm
..
results/decisions/outcome
Okay so my curiosity gets the best of me and when everyone receives our opinions whether good, bad or indifferent I would sometimes like to know what you decided and what the outcome is -- i.e. rural hospital -- let us know what you decidied and if you take it a month or so later how it goes -- but that is me, I always like to know the outcome. Patti
ditto and agree with similar outcome and plan

Don't bother. She basically works for one company - no matter what you want, she'll tell you that "Company A" matches your needs. I've talked to her twice in the last 2 years and the first year it was "Company X" and a few mos., it was a different company. I think whoever gives her the biggest commission is who gets recommended.
I presently work for a company that has excellent benefits, very affordable, great management people. If you want to know more, post back and I'll give you my email.

I sent my resume to them a few months back. I got a reply asking me what time zone I lived in (although my address was clearly posted in my resume). She was supposed to get back to me to set up a time for a phone interview, but I never heard from her.
I would have to agree with the above comment that it is a waste of time.
Anyone out there ever use MT Matchmaker?
Just wondering if it really works and takes the headache out of contacting a gizillion sites.
MT Matchmaker
I had a very bad experience with them and do not recommend using their services.
MT matchmaker feedback
Thanks so much for all the info out there. Sorry to hear it's such a bummer. Guess I'll just have to plod thru all the companies. Have any good ones to recommend for a full-timer??
Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

Know AIM transcription system, never heard of Hull transcription. Are you sure
you are not thinking about DHull who is a recruiter for MDI-FL? They use the AIM system.
Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!
:)
HAPPY FOR YOU
Glad to hear you found the perfect match....I am still looking for someone to really work my own schedule like they advertise. Enjoy!!! If you have any suggestions for me finding a place to work your own schedule, let me know..
YES, i am happy there too, after 5 yr!

To Happy MT
I am happy at MDI just wish they would send a little more love our way. I switch to different accounts when they are short and work many weekends and if I am correct I have worked most of the holidays. I get a phone call or email last minute that they need coverage and I do not say no. I start early and finish late. I have talked to others in the same boat and they are sad. . I know they merged with Transend and it takes time to get things in order but when it seems that some get the bonuses and some of us are overlooked it does not seem right. I think they need to look at everyone in the same light and do the right thing.
Is anyone happy with MQ?
???
Happy now!
23 the first time (then-husband got the 7-year-itch). 34 second time. I had two miscarriages the first time around. This marriage - We have two great little boys!!
I am very happy nm

Happy so far
Hi, I have only been with MQ for 7 months, but I have friends that have been with MQ and have tried other companies, and the consensus is...their new system DQS (DocQscribe) is VERY user friendly compared to other company's systems. AND, as far as WE are concerned, MQ is very flexible time-wise. But I have read other posts that maybe new hires are more chained to a set schedule. My friends and I are out of 2 offices that seem to be very lenient as to scheduling. Personally, I work more hours than I signed up for. But, if MQ were to call when I am away from my computer, (bathroom), like a poster below stated about a different company, I would be VERY aggravated, especially since I am post-colectomy with less than satisfactory results!!! (If you get my drift.)
Be Happy about it
My 20-year-old son suffers every day from injuries he received during his high school football career. He has had broken bones, dislocated shoulders, and he has to wear a mouth brace due to jaw injuries. The medication he takes for his jaw has caused a stomach ulcer, which along with the pain from the jaw, caused his blood pressure to elevated. He said more times than I could count, "I wish I had not played football." Support his decision and be happy that he is not out there getting all banged up.
Happy here
Look, most people who are happy with a company don't just get on a message board to say, "I had a great day at work today," or "I think I make a decent wage and I'm happy with it." They get on to complain or ask questions or just to surf and see what others are talking about. The people who are complaining are loud and you hear them a lot. MQ seems to have more MTs who have been with them for 5+ years than any other company. That should tell you something right there.
Happy MQ MT
I wonder about the people that are so unhappy about MQ. Where did they work before? Was it inhouse? Did they come there direct from a school. What is it that makes the difference of some people being happy and others very disappointed. Why do some have an abundance of work and others have none? Is it the quality of work being done?
I am happy!
I am happy working at MQ. I come to this site usually for a good laugh, and sometimes I do post. I don't flame the people that complain all the time, I just wonder why they do?!?!?!
We should start a poll - Are you happy with MQ or aren't you - no big explanations - just a YES OR A NO. My answer is YES!
happy
I am happy with MQ!! I think the people who are happy with MQ (and I think there are a lot) just don't take the time to say so...so today I am!!
I USED to be happy but......
I haven't had a decent line count in almost a week and it has been 6 months since I had a second phone line installed and I have yet to see a single dime in reimbursement that I was told I would receive. Why do I stay? Because this is my first MT job and I've only been there a year. Who else will hire me at this point?
I am happy!!!

I'm happy!

I am sure that they are happy to have me
as an employee considering I am one of the only few who actually likes working for them. I am a high producer for them, as well. There would be no reason Medquist wouldn't be proud to have me as an employee. They need to get rid of the big fat losers like you.
How happy are you??
Are you not the same ER who was on here last week trashing the Amherst office?
I'm happy for you!
I, on the other hand, had my children in my mid to late 30's. I'm 45 and have a 12 and 5 year old. At 50, I'll have a teenager and another one who will be right behind him. There is definitely something to be said for having your kids when you are younger, not to say I am not enjoying mine - I'll be pretty old when they are on their own. 
I'm happy for you
Since your employer was confident in giving you more work, then I guess you have been doing the right thing this past year. Just keep it up and stretch those shoulders every now and then =).
Then I am happy for ya!
Glad you did something about it!
Very happy at OSi...
I am happy! (sm)
OSi is like a breath of fresh air (to me that is)! They have always taken care of me as a transcriptionist.
There are negative posts on the boards from less than mature transcriptionists who are trying to make a good company look bad. An opinion is fine, but some of them have gone past the line, and so, you have to look a little farther than the posts you see even the positive ones. With that, if you read about the company on their website and you feel it fits your life, then go for it, no matter which company. I worked for Medquist for 2 years and I didn't like the experience I had, but that doesn't mean the next person has the same experience.
Transcription is a God send to me and if the company I work for don't fit me, I find one that does. Each to their own.
AND A HAPPY ONE...
to you and yours!
Happy X-Mas (War is Over if U want it)!
:)
Let's be happy, come on who's happy with me !!!??? (sm)
Let me tell ya something, we gotta get cheery around here. Who's company makes them happy !?!?!
I am happy you are going well (sm)
but I only ask for 12 cents and I don't feel I am asking too much for the area I am in. I would even negotiate to 11, but no lower. It is a pretty good deal for them, but maybe they'd rather use India! If I wanted to hire someone, I could not go lower than 11. I think this area has had a lot of soliciting because it pays a little higher. Houses around here are $700,000 and who the he** can afford to work for less than 11 cents per line.
So make an extra $1000 for me!
