Recruiters, would you be leery?
If you received an email from someone with a generic, i.e., hotmail address saying they were a recruiter for a company would you wonder? Seems odd to me.
Applying for job
Why is it when you are applying for a job and you would like to speak to a person to learn the platform, jobs offered, hours, pay rates, etc. you are always told you have to test first? What's up with that? I want information up front before the possibility of wasting my time. I may not want to test and then be offered a job paying 4 cents a line (or day).
Can I ask why? I am considering applying. nm

Have you tried applying in
doctors' offices? If you can realistically say that vocabulary and spelling are strengths for you, where English was a class you breezed through and you read a lot and have a huge vocabulary that can keep up with MDs who may also have PHds, then maybe you would be able to work in an office where MT is a big part of the job. It just isn't always easy to find jobs like that. You'd probably be transcribing from tapes, which can be just fine and give you a little feeling of job security because he may not want to bother with newer technology.
I'd just keep applying
You've only been out for a year. That isn't long. Just keep applying everywhere and something will most likely turn up.
By applying your logic, that would mean that those of you
on this board who hate George Bush actually want to sleep with him? Ewwww!
Does anyone know how to go about applying for a government job?

YES! I'm thinking of applying. nm

Question about applying for a job
I have an IC position at a company and would like to start looking for another company for more work. Should I put my current company on my resume and if not, what would I put as a heading under experience for that company? I should add that the company I work with is my first transcription job, so I've never had to put anything on my resume about previous experience and don't really know how it works. Thanks!
I would like to know to, so I can avoid applying
there. 3 cpl is awful.
Applying for IC positions
I was an employee of a large national for 8-1/2 years. They provided the whole PC and set-up. I've never been an IC. Is there any point in applying for IC jobs if I've never been one? I have a PC with a temp version of Word 2007 and antivirus software, but that's it. No footpedals. TIA.

Have fun applying at McDonald's in a few years!
Thanks for the info. I won't bother applying either. nm
applying at wal-mart..or mickey D's
With all the uncertainty, the other day I was in the customer service dept of Wal-Mart and there was a place to sit and fill out an application and I thought for a second or two, maybe I should apply.I didnt but the way transcription is going, I envision myself working at Wal-Mart or McDonalds soon..
Another question, as far as etiquette when applying for a job... SM
I was thinking about applying with the service that the hospital is outsourcing to and I was wondering say I take the test and get a job offer, is acceptable for me to request that I be placed on my former employer's account and will they honor my request?
They have been handling our over flow for several years and so I'm sure that there are MTs who have been on the account a while. So I guess I was just wondering if they would let me work on an already well established account.
I do about 5200 a week now, but I am not applying myself as well as I could - sm
So once I buckle down I hope to do 8000 week--I goof off way too much. If I did not, I would be done what I do now a lot earlier and also have time to do more (i.e. another 3000 lines a week) if I chose to do it. Discipline is my problem. I do not have a lot of repetitive work either so I don't have that going for me unfortunately, though I am doing macros for phrases like crazy which slows you down some but in the long run pays off. Good luck.
When applying for jobs on board
I am back in the "look for another job" phase of my life which I thought had ended. After several years, I am back in the market though and have responded to ads posted on this message board.
Do you ladies and gentlemen typically include a cover letter stating you situation and stats, equipment, etc?
And, with regard to equipment, if we do not have what is requested but are fully willing and able to purchase it to be able to work for the job being applied for, should we state this? It appears that jobs posted are asking for specific equipment and that is not a problem other than getting it shipped to us. Unless they want us to hit the ground running these days.
Thank you for your time, comrades in arms.
Just start applying with your resume
Even though you've been teaching, that shouldn't matter much especially since it is English! Good luck to you! Just start applying and sending your resume. The companies will give you the information you'll need to get back in the swing of things.
What type jobs are you applying for?
Clinic experience does not equal acute care experience. Need to look at those companies looking for clinic work and then maybe ease your way in with them in speciality areas.
thinking about applying for dr's office position...
and gosh, it's been so long since I've been to an interview...I'm looking for some tips on questions to ask the interviewer. I don't like going to an interview and NOT asking any questions.
Also, I do have the experience they are looking for, although it has been about 8-9 years since I've actually done hands-on back office work...tips on explaining this would be appreciated too! 
Last resort is applying at the service the hospital is using.

If I cant get google back, thinking of applying

Does anyone have any experience with TRS Institute- thinking of applying
?
Ammonia possibly. But, do have ventilation and do not inhale while applying it!

You have plenty of experience to be an Editor. Start applying everywhere.

If you are applying with nationals, it is kind of luck of the draw I would
suspect. The national I work for did not conduct a background check. I know that some do, and some don't. I guess the severity of your crime would have a lot to do with it, or some companies may have a no tolerance policy altogether. If you are looking at local clinics or hospitals you could try explaining face to face, but I would not try to hide that fact from them as they would not look kindly on it if they were to find out on their own.
JMO, but you are better off just applying directly to a company and skipping them altogether...
they basically try to fit your experience with a company and you can do that yourself...
When applying for an MTSO company....(2 unrelated questions LOL)
Do you just assume they have templates and word expanders? As I was doing my current job (which is now almost completely dried up of work), I realized how good I have it with the word expanders. That is one of the reasons I am so fast! So it is safe to assume they usually offer this kind of thing? I can only imagine they have to, but have never applied to one so dont mean to sound silly. I've been an IC for 10 years!
The other unrelated part is if the company is paying you 7, 8, 9 CPL... what are they likely charging their client? That is just my curiosity getting the best of me.
Thanks
Thinking of applying at Golden Isles Medical Transcription..sm
Would someone with some inside information please email me? I would like to know some particulars about this company before I think of applying for a job. Would be interested in their platform, the type of accounts, their line rate, whether they require weekend work, and anything else you would care to share! Thank you.
Keep applying at jobs is my opinion. Find out where your local hospital transcription is done

I look at the jobs posted and tons of MTs are applying. I am employed but not terribly pleased with
prefer OPs and have done MT work for about 16 years. I have worked for MQ for 11 years for the Univ. of Pa. which they lost and now I am working for a small company in Michigan with just tons and tons of crap work. I would like an IC job with OPs if possible.
How long should I wait after applying for a position before I follow-up. It has been as long as two
without hearing from some. Just wondering if I should send an e-mail to follow-up to see if they received my resume or not. I don't want to offend anyone but feel two weeks should be long enough for someone to at least acknowledge my resume and that I have applied for a position. Right now I would accept anything even a note saying no thanks. Any advice would be appreciated. I haven't had to apply for a job for the past 10 years so I am a bit rusty at this. Thanks again for any advice.
Foot pedal? Going from VXP to applying for other companies. What foot pedal should I get that woul
I need one even just to test so it seems. Thanks for the input!
