I would try Careerbuilder.com or Monster.com. nm

Now that Monster.com has been hacked and
confidential and personal data compromised, I am not confortable posting my resume anywhere, but really am seriously looking for a job with a decent company. I have years of experience in transcription, management, and other areas, but right now my hands are aching because of transcription and I need to move on. And I would just like to work for a company where someone says thank you once in a while and if you do extra projects..
They don't have the pay posted with the job? Chk Monster or the

According to the Answers.com section of Monster.com
"Dr. Phil McGraw won a football scholarship and played as a linebacker for the University of Tulsa, but when he was injured he quit and transferred to Midwestern State University. He graduated with a B.A. in psychology in 1975, and went on to get his PhD. from the University of North Texas in 1979. He is also a pilot, with a multi-engine rating."
. . . . and what are your educational credentials, my dear?
Only 1 cup, but I'm addicted to monster drinks. nm

I get Monster drink from the corner store...
These really work for me--ingredients below
Carbonated water, sucrose, glucose, citric acid, taurine, natural flavors, sodium citrate, l-carnitine, panax ginseng root extract, ascorbic acid, caffeine, sodium chloride, niacinamide, riboflavin, guarana seed extract, inositol, glucuronalactone, pyridoxine hydrochloride, cyanobalmin.
I'd give this monster back to her mother
Bad seed. They might be able to keep this evil beast at bay for awhile but sooner or later she's going to cause a disaster of some type if she hasn't already.
OUT!
saw it on monster-- "a too good to be true" job description-
for info and see what kind of a response I get. Don't want to send my resume unless it seems legit. I have 2 jobs now, just fishing for something better.
Just DONT start a Monster account!
I did, and first of all, nothing that even vaguely resembles what I wanted to find ever comes up. Instead, my inbox is swamped with emails from them about jobs for software engineering, nursing, receptionist, etc. keep coming in, even though I was very precise about ONLY wanting to see MT & legal transcription jobs.
Tons of spyware, too. The ads for Viagra, Rolex watches and porn tripled after I joined Monster.
So finally I got bored with them and wanted to UN-subscribe. There is NO PLACE on their website where you can do that. All you can do is make your account inactive. (Though they CLAIM if you call a phone number and give them lots of person information [yeah, RIGHT! In their DREAMS!], they will unsubscribe you.)
So I finally put their website on my SPAM list, and hopefully that'll stop their emails.
DON'T put all your information on this company's website! Heaven only knows who they're giving it to.

My son loves Monster drinks before football/basketball practice. I think they are nasty.
I don't drink coffee, but I have to have my Coca Cola first thing in the morning and one more halfway through day. So I guess I am a little dependent on caffeine!

Yes, they have a lot of employees
and no offense but all newbies because anyone with a brain and has a pulse runs, and runs fast.
So what does this mean for HIS employees and how do you know this? sm
How did you get this information? Is everything finalized and signed between Spheris and Heartland? What happens to those of us who work at Heartland? What's this mean to us?
What about all of the employees out there
who adhere to a regular committed work schedule only to find there is no work available for them?? Sandy--what about all of the people who are forced to work later and later (beyond their committed shift schedule) just to find work?? We ARE paid by production. It sounds like you are the princess in this scenario. You're speaking to a lot of experienced loyal MTs out there who KNOW that working from home is their only option because of all of the outsourcing over the last 10 years especially. It works both ways. I would think a Transcriptionist looking for work would find you a bit on the pristine side. All of us MTs want is just to work. I just left a national company because there was NO WORK for over a month. At least 30-40 other MTs left this company and went to a smaller company because of the work readily available to them. Take it down a notch, Sandy.
Only to employees
.
New employees on it?
I've only had that happen when new employees aren't following the account specs...and sometimes when it first does a new "upgrade" on the docs.
They don't have any employees, just ICs...sm
And I have been on that account longer than any other transcriptionists there. Usually they said what they do is take the jobs that come in on that account and divide them between the MTs. So I don't know. These docs have a bad habit of not dictating daily. Sometimes they will wait till they absolutely have to dictate and then BAM hit you with a load.
I move around A LOT!!! - SM
I ALWAYS take pictures before AND after. When I lived in Florida, the apartment complex tried to charge me $700 to pay for cleaning. They said it was because I had pets and I left kitty litter behind, etc. I DID NOT HAVE A CAT!!! Do not just shake this off. They expect that people will not come back and make a fuss, well let me tell you - I WILL AND HAVE GOTTEN ON AN AIRPLANE to go back to a place that tries to charge me. I rest my case - thank you.
If you would like to move on to
a company that can give you plenty of work, your own accounts and not make your life a misery, please email me. I have spoken with many MQ people recently and have work, but somehow it seems that many are afraid to leave. I can pretty well guarantee you a good livelihood and little to no hassle .. and if it sounds to good to be true it is true .. plain and simple.
Move On
Same thing happened to the hospital I worked at. We were told we would be hired by the outsourcers at same pay! Ha!
I didn't transition but the ones who did report the pay was all changed once onboard. Plus the new benefits were horrible compared to what we were use to.
I chose to decline their offer, took unemployment and found a new job on my terms.
Good Luck!
PS: In my state, if you lose your job through no fault of you own (outsourcing) you are entitled to Unemployment Compensation.
If I could move, I probably would.
I'm not happy with the kids in my daughter's classes nor have I met many people that I would choose as my friends. I have met a few good people though. It's really hard though being young and single here, not to mention working at home, but I've made a few steps over the weekend to change that. Small steps, but I already feel better.
Can you move...
That would be helpful. There is no need to be hateful, tell people you are at work from this time until that time, and you cannot be disturbed unless it is an emergency. State the fact and then ask them to respect that! I know what you mean when you say people act like you aren't "really working!" It is annoying!
Me three! Let's move on!

I can tell you that if you move to
Houston, CyFair district is excellent. Far Northwest Houston is really nice, as well as the Woodlands, but I prefer the CyFair district so moved out here instead of the Woodlands.
I personally like the city. My husband could live on a farm. This is a little bit of a compromise for both of us. Texas is gorgeous though. If it doesn't really matter where you live, I would consider the hill country.
Why not move??
you said you have no husband, no kids.....so, you are free as a bird!!! You would be surprised at what can happen when you change your entire environment.
Good Luck!
I like to get up and move around.
So, two days a week I get to see the world! HA! I am a Mom of two. I start working around 8:30 a.m. and take frequent breaks. I love hitting the grocery store on a Tuesday mid morning with all of the Mom-Moms and Pops-Pops, and it sure beats the rush on the weekend around here anyway.
I work for about an hour at a time and then break. I cannot stay glued to the screen as it gives me a headache. I am very successful and very productive (at least I like to think so). I do have my own accounts to service, so it makes it hard for vacations, but we get by.
I do work weekends, but not consistently. Weekends are actually most productive for me since there's not a lot of running around and everyone is ready for couch-slouching by the weekend in my house other than the occasional running one of my kids to a friend's house.
Oh and I should mention, I absolutely love the flexibility of being an IC. I am my own boss and find it much easier when I need time off to just simply ask myself, "Self can I have a few hours off to go shopping!" LOL
hey maybe we should all move to
the Pillafeens! I mean Phillipines

There is a way to move them.
There is a way to move them with Word macros. Email me and I can email you macros and instructions.

Go to Shorthand, File, Open; rt click on the dictionary and copy, then immediately rt cick on your desktop and paste; cancel the file in SH and minimize; on desktop, rt click and Send To Zipped/Compressed File; rt click and send to Email Recipient.
Let's move on to something else. :D nm

Statutory employees too?
Is the new pay plan for statutory/IC employees too? Cant you only switch to full time employee status twice a year, I think May and October or November.
statutory employees - MQ
When you have to take off, do you call in sick like you would a regular job? In the past, I have and they have been quite unreasonable if I needed to take a day off for sick or personal reasons. What upsets me is when there is no work, Im stuck, no work, oh well, but when I need to take off, I better be there, I better work or they have been quite nasty with me..What has been others response? What have others done when they needed to take off? Thanks for your response!
Do any Med-Quist employees
know whatever happened to Mark Forstein? He used to be the president of Transcriptions, Ltd. before it was bought out by MedQuist. He was Dave Cohen's cousin, I believe.
Go for it. HR needs to know if their employees are being "threatened". (sm)
They are having to offer huge bonuses to entice new employees, I don't think they would want their current employees walking because someone has no tact or ability to communicate with others.
Hope things are better today for you all.
How do you MQ employees manage
to get in your 1200 lines in only 8 hours? I am having a dickens of a time, lots of ESLs, new account, etc. Just how do you do it? I figure it will take me 12 hours! Do you ask them to approve OT or what? I'm new at this, need to know. Have to have that insurance.
Any other SS employees not received their..
paycheck? I am not looking to start anything, just wondering if I am the only one who hasn't gotten paid yet?
The prison's employees
Pardon my ignorance. I'm still confused. What does the prison system have to do with transcription? Why would the prison system hire transcriptionists to work in a facility as a transcriptionist??
For any Transcend employees (not ICs)..
Can you tell me if the hours are flexible at Transcend for full time employees? I think instead of being an IC (I don't want to worry about taxes, being audited, etc.) I would like to be a full time employee; however, I'm in school too and need flexible hours and can't commit to a strict schedule - I need to be able to have more flexibility as my hours are different every semester. Thanks for any help.
They have to be using overseas employees...sm
So remind her that while they claim HIPAA compliance, truth of the matter is that once the records leave the US soil there's really no protection.
I wonder if it applies to ICs or only employees?
I make a whole $9 -$14 an hour depending on the work, sometimes less of course when I get someone really bad.
They rotate employees so that no one
She should have reported those who were not doing very well.
The more times you use them, the lower their rates. I used to have MM come in 3 days a week and it was more than reasonable. Each time they came, one room received a deep cleaning. I loved them.
They are bonded, licensed, and insured. They provided ALL of their own cleaning supplies, didn't use mine. If they were injured in my home, they paid their own medical bills. If something was broken or stolen, MM reimbursed it.
Your friend's private keeper probably has none of that. If the keeper falls on a wet floor, etc., she will have to pay for her keeper's medical bills. If anything gets broken or stolen, she will have to file it on her homeowners.
Plus, with MM, you just write that check out and they pay all the taxes.
Your friend's private keeper probably isn't having any of the income appropriately reported and both the keeper and your friend could be in trouble.
LOL
Yes you can deduct it. Employees get
the same deductions many ICs do particularly since so many companies do not pay for large office space any longer, power, etc. If you have any question at all about how to do it, ask your accountant but Turbo Tax walked me through it last year and this year too. It used to be that they did not ask, but now they do and you can deduct your office based on the size of it and the mortgage etc.
What many offices used to have now belongs to us that work at home and yes, we get that benefit because the offices definitely cannot legally deduct for this. Some companies reimburse for your internet. Oh whoopie. Less are providing equipment. So now we do get to do a whole lot as employees because the costs of these necessities for work have been placed on us by cheap employers who try to get by with as little expense as possible.
ICs -- are you being treated like employees? (sm)
I filed IRS form SS-8, and boy did I get results!!
It took months. I had to fill out the very detailed form describing my work situation. The IRS then notified the MTSO and had them fill out the form. I just received the ruling that I was in fact an employee, so the MTSO now has to pay back taxes and penalties!!
It feels so good when something works the way it should, doesn't it?
Are you hiring employees or
In my opinion, independent contractor means you can take the work or you can refuse the work. If you are employing these MTs, then that gives you the right to dictate statements like "work first then play". Set schedules and hours are for employees and not ICs. That is where the trouble starts in this profession. Small MTSOs want ICs that ACT LIKE EMPLOYEES. Well if that is disappointing to you as an MTSO owner, then so is only making 8 cpl and then having to make a 24-hour turnaround and be at the mercy of the MTSO. JMO.  I save this kind of dedication for accounts that I have sought out myself (making 13 cpl) not working for an MTSO that only pays a small wage and wants a whole lot in return. 
that's correct, MQ's BOS is for MQ employees

Any statutory employees out there?
I'll be starting a new job soon with a service as a statutory employee. I want to get on top of my tax situation now so that come April I won't get hit with a big bill from the tax man.
Any suggestions/guidelines for how much of each of my checks I should be setting aside for taxes? I know that my employer will be paying 1/2 of my Social Security taxes. What about the rest?
Thanks in advance for your help.
