Therapy for what? Because I don't support any woman who spouts an idea because she is a woman?
And you fall into the "therapy" or drug routine? Why not address the issues. You want women to support women no matter how ridiculous the idea is or you want to support a truth, no matter who tells it. The rest of the "therapy" crap you post is BS. You must know that by now.
I was offered a job at MQ,
as a newbie, is that a good place to start out?
It is too low. I was offered .075 for 10 yrs exp
Needless to say, I turned them down and am glad I did!! Getting 10 now!
Offered 6 for IC
Offered 6 for IC, but am currently working for 8 through service. You sent me something on the company??
I currently get 10 cpl and have been offered 1 other
positions in the past for 10 cpl. My current position is as employee with benefits. The other position was as an IC with WebMedex at 10 cpl and 11 cpl over 6,000 lines/week. With most other companies 8 cpl seems to be the "norm", though there are always exceptions, with plenty of companies paying less than that and a few paying more.
Offered me same.
,
offered one for 5 cpl
Before I got hired on at MQ I was offered a job for 5 cpl with quarterly raises if my productivity was up to par, I had to provide all resources, all computer equipment, own footpedal and headphones, WordPerfect, and the list went on and on - for a prn IC job! The lady made it sound like it was the best thing around and I thought that was pretty funny
Anyone else offered job, then...
the company never followed through? Told Friday would be sent job offer with tenative start date, then nothing. Emailed recruiter twice with confirmation that the email was read this morning on the second email and still nothing. Strange or not? I would think if they changed their mind, they would at least have the decency to reply to my emails.
I was just offered a job IC for
6 to 7 CPL. I have over 20 years' experience. What a joke. You have to pay your own taxes, no benefits, supply all your own equipment, etc. Might as well move to India at this rate.
it's almost always offered and
I do it every week because I need the money. I've done it for years. I also have another job. I'm tired.
New MQ QA? New MQ pay? I just got offered IC in SW region? Please tell me more. nm
..
In OR I made $16.50/hr, in NE I was offered $11.30.

Webmedx offered me 10 cpl
They require at least 1000 lines per week. Incentive of 11 cpl over a certain amount of lines per week. This was for their highest level (3). I think they have a lot of ESL though.
It's offered in Los Angeles. nm

I have already offered some solid
and I am not going to argue with you.
That was not my figure - they offered it and I took it. nm

I have been offered a position yet...sm
But I have an interview with them this week. Not sure what I'll do either, especially given the time clock. That's a real issue for me. I have a baby at home and can't imaging trying to clock in and out every time he starts to fuss.
I also sent a resume to Medware too, just to cover my bases, but I just sent it this weekend and haven't heard anything yet.
As for you not hearing back from FN last week after sending a resume to them, I seriously doubt they are hiring right now given they recently overhired and the workflow is so low. Thus the reason I've been floating resumes all week. LOL!!!
Right. You are offered their trash, but not $1K.
They're willing to help you as long as you lower yourself. Just pure head games. And some parents would love to see their kids homeless for a chuckle. Makes no sense to me - mine were the same. They were so jealous that my husband and I stuck it out and made our marriage work, are still in love after 30+ years with great kids. When we ran into 1 bump in the road and needed a tad of help, they sat and laughed in our faces, even their innocent grandkids. You just never know what goes in some peoples' minds. Only count on yourself and God, literally. I'm here for you!! 
Just offered an IC position at 7 cpl, lol....
Could be worse, I saw one advertise at 6 cpl
Thanks to everyone who has offered me their opinions.
It appears that the majority feels that it would be best for me to stay with my family as jobs will come and go but my time with my kids will not come and go; once they are grown they are grown and I wouldn't be able to get that time back with them. I am considering hanging on with this home job for as long as I can and then when the time is right maybe I will be able to get a job in the hospital during a day shift instead of the late afternoon shift.
Thanks everyone for listening to me and spending your time helping me.
I know of svl newbies who get offered what I get now with 13+ yrs in!! Sad..and
s
I've offered this before.
I'm telling you that what I'm finding are those problems as listed above. There are too many people who are in this business for the wrong reasons, either so they can stay at home or because they think they're going to get rich with minimal effort. Many comments on this board are disparaging toward anyone who is "on the other side", which is what I become when I try to hire help for vacations.
Simply put, the quality of the majority of the workers out there is not as good as it could be. You probably are the exception but I just haven't come across you yet. As far as having a pool of help, I would love to have that (what a luxury that would be!). I'm not unfair or unreasonable but I just can't seem to find the quality that you have been as fortunate to find.
Doctor offered me more...
I have been working on getting a very large group set up for digital. The Medical Director called me yesterday and asked what my cpl rate was. I told him it was 11 and he said, "How about 13?" I was like WHAT?? --that's the first time that has ever happened. Needless to say, I told him that would be fine by me I am just used to drs trying go get me to cut my rate back
I was offered 2.5 cpl for editscript VR....sm
I have a year exp. I think it is kind of low. Said they give raises after 6 months if satisfactory. I need the job so bad I think I may have to take it. I have a part time already but not enough work. I need something to work on when no work in my other job. I can not get a job anywhere else because everyone wants 2 years exp.
Been offered a job locally....sm
the pay is 0.06/line and includes all characters, spaces etc. Says that this amounts to about 0.09/line in the end ??
Is this something offered by your company
or did you ask for it?
maybe she wants to be the woman.
Seems to me, this is about those woman who only think they look like that...
and unfortunately do not.
Even young girls do this - I have seen young girls more and more, bellies out, cracks out (pardon me, do not know what else to call it- smile), and maybe 2 out of 10 have the bodies for it. The rest are overweight and have bulges and cellulite, etc.
I think almost everyone would agree, if a woman can wear something (or nearly nothing) and look good, more power to them. If they do not have a body like a model, or even close, best to hide the cleavage in public, in my opinion...
Done 2! Come on MTs....help this woman win!
Staples inventors contest. Vote for Julie Savage.
Can't we get this woman out of here?
I would sooner see your Avon and candles! This woman has been over on MT Chat, now here, who knows where else. I don't even believe she is an MT. How could she be when she is so busy with her "company"? Can't we get these types of "free advertisers" off here? Makes me mad! If fshe is free to advertise, then I think the rest of us should be able to, as well!
Yep, that's right, it was to a woman.nm

One woman actually said she (sm)
spent so much time at the pediatrician's office, she KNEW she could do it. NO KIDDING. She really said that.
She is more woman than you could ever-sm
hope to be in your wildest dreams. What did she ever do to you anyway? come on, take my one on one challenge...make my day. lol
Probably every woman on here has done the same or more
than this person is saying she had to do in order to take care of grandchildren. Most women here work and take care of children every day. She asked did I have grandchildren like you just could not work and take care of them. I did - others have here also- no bashing- just truthful, sounds like a cop out to me and probably others here.
Seems that woman
had some issues. Okay ... I can see being a little irritated, but really! Your director had the right attitude, and now you have your funny little story you can share. : )
What office were you offered 9.5? The one I work in does NOT go over 8.
I am the only MT on the account I am doing and the client REFUSES to have anyone else do it..i figure leverage, but they still wont pay more than 8 NO SPACES. I never have blanks, never mess up at all, work ALLLLL the time. Where or where did you get 9.5?
I was offered a position with them a couple of
months ago. I don't remember much about what they offered, but the pay wasn't very good. I have 20 years' experience and what they offered me was an insult.
the worst incentive I got offered
Yes, yes... some incentive is better than none offered (to anyone who is ready to say, "At least you get one!"), but the worst incentive I was ever offered was when I worked for HealthScribe years back and they offered a 1/4 cent on lines typed for a certain day. Doing 1000 lines, that worked out to $2.50 tagged onto my regular rate. That wasn't even worth thinking about let alone spoiling my weekend for.
they offered me 1.5 cents per line
thanks but no thanks.
it's rarely offered anymore, thanks to the
AAMT. They started the whole problem, and then they bailed out after everybody decided it was the most honest method to determine what a "real line" was.
But there's still a way to break even. Go to this web site: http://www.medicalese.org/line_count.html
Figure out what you want to bill for gross lines. That would be under the 45 cpl column (trust me on this ... I did stats for years when I was billing for gross lines). Compare it to what you would get paid if you billed for a 65-char line and that's what you want to be paid.
IOW, if you want to make 9 cpl for gross lines, under the 45 line length column it would be $200. Go over to the 65-char line and see how close you can match things up. It's 13 cpl = $200.00. That's what you want to make the same amount.
Offered $5.50/1000 words??
Thank you in advance to anyone. I'm not sure if this is good or not.
I basically was offered a position..
She said I did excellent on the test. She asked to let them know how many minutes I would want, FT or PT, which I did, and haven't heard a thing since.
I'm offered a new accout using MP3 player.....
The provider is using the player with his curernt MT. The parent company wants me to assume his account. I've asked what method he is using currently to get his dictation to the MT to see what I need on my end. I already have a Bytescribe wave player that plays MP3s, so that is not a problem. What other software can be used to get the dictation from him to me and still fall within HIPAA guidelines?
With average pay offered still around 8 cpl, she's lucky to be getting 9 cpl, as are
s
ALL TYPE - OFFERED POSITION
Hello - I posted a week or so ago - never heard anything back. Does anyone have information, good or bad, about ALL TYPE ??? 
Please, I'd like to know more as I am thinking of taking this position. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All 
No, it was United that offered lower than 8 cpl. nm

Just got offered a 3rd shift position and
because of the time difference they told me I could work 2 hours earlier. I have also seen ads posted stating that if you are on different coasts you could have some flexibility in the hours you work. It isn't your local time that they go by, it is their local time or the clients.
offered 6 cents a line
I was offered 6 cents a line just recently and I have 15 years of experience. That's what I started out at way back then - i think most would agree that the money is just not there in MTing anymore - at least all of the grvy jobs are long gone - gone to india.
I too have been offered every position I've
tested for and I'm not a CMT. I think the years of experience and doing well on tests is what gets you the job.
Recently offered $50 p/h for seminars, etc. (sm)
I asked and received some samples of these seminars, etc. They had several speakers, speaking one after the other, quite clearly, so okay. Then they had q&a sessions with several speakers. You had to make out who was speaking etc. The speakers were discussing new treatments, med's, etc.most of which were not in any medical dictionary or speller. So to make a long story somewhat shorter, I found the most complicated sample that discussed new cancer treatment options and did ten minutes of this sample dictation to see how long it would take. Now, I pride myself on being a fast typist (120+ wpm) but between looking up "famous" doctor's names, new theories, compound medications, etc. it took me one hour. And, that was the easy part. I had not reached the q&a portion of the seminar yet. So that means that depending upon the difficulty of the dictation I would be making either $10 ph (for the most difficult) to, at most, $15 ph. So I politely explained that to the client and further explained that I usually charge by the line or page and what I would usually charge for this. I was told that the client only charged the company that provided the seminar $150! (So, in order for them to make a profit I had to work for peanuts!) I sent my sample transcribed dictation and my current price for the same type of work and if I get it fine, if not, I'll eat more hotdogs! With 25+ years of experience I will not provide expert transcription services of complicated seminars for $10.00 ph. We are so going backwards in pay!!! Wrote about that another time but sheesh! Enough is enough!
If you know the name of your business plan they offered you for
the $50-60/month, could you share it w/me? MCI has nothing to offer. Their business 'plan' is pay per minute, 5 cpm. No thanks. I just want to know what exactly to ask AT&T for. Thank you again!
