Offer 1 week notice, but willing to offer 2 if they would be in a bind. Also, (sm)
make sure your resignation letter is written with class. Never good to burn your bridges.
Can I offer something? sm
I have a 13 yo boy. He sounds much like your daughter, wonderful kid, straight A's very much likes to hang with the family, etc. Never had a problem with him. However, he knows that I mean business. If a child is going to sneak and do stuff that he/she knows parents won't like I say give them a consequence to remember. Maybe you either have to take a few days off work and go to school with your daughter, explaining to her that since she cannot be trusted you need to attend class with her to be sure everything is going okay or take everything away from her and let her know that since she is not being responsible enough to come to you and she feels the need to sneak things past you, you have felt the need to remove material possessions from her life until she can become responsible enough to handle it. She is giving in to peer pressure which of course we know will only get worse. Emphasize to her that she is number one to you, you love her too much to allow anybody to influence her the wrong way or to let her waste one day of her life doing things that will not benefit her. She is God's gift to the earth and she should treat herself as such and expect others to treat her the same. If her friends do not respect that her parents will not allow her to do certain things, than those friends need to go bye bye. I know this sounds tough but guess what, you are not raising an 11 yo you are raising a strong, wonderful, beautiful, smart, wise woman, she is only 11 for 365 days.
Lastly I want to applaude you for even caring. When my son was in sixth grade a mother of a girl he goes to school with showed up at the awards assembly and was taking pictures of my son. I sat down beside her and when I cheered for my son as he got an award she said "oh is that your son" to which I replied "yes it is" and she said "oh my daughter is so in love with him, that is why I am taking so many pictures" I just wanted to punch her, what is she teaching her daughter by doing that? I explained to her that my son was 11 and had no time for girls, he was heavily involved in basketball and church and would not be allowed to spend time with girls for quite a few years. She was appalled at what I said. I walked away, hoping she would think about it before her daughter met up with a boy whose parents don't expect the standards to be quite so high.
Job offer
Are you kidding? There are people out there who do QA with many years of experience who don't make that. Jump at the chance.
You might ask them if they offer (sm)
combat pay or double or even triple time to come in whenever needed.
Got a job offer
I got an offer today. As you stated, I requested to be paid for headers/footer, etc. and that was acceptable to them. Right now, I'm not getting any work from any of my other jobs and haven't for the past month or so. I think this is their downtime or something, which doesn't pay my bills. I don't know whether it's smart to take the job w/CyMed or not being that this company offshores work. However, I'm a single parent trying to make ends meet any way I can -- even if it means accepting less than desired. Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it. 
Got my offer.
They offered me 9 cpl. I think that's okay. Been out of the biz for a while. I would like to be an IC someday....
My DH had a job offer there once...
We traveled there to check it out and by the day we left, I was TOTALLY against going there. But it's highly individual. I can't stand living out in the middle of nowhere, which was where we were going to end up (Evanston), with a 2 hour drive one direction to SLC down out of the mountains and 2 hours in any other direction to "nowhere." If that wasn't bad enough, the clincher was the park ranger in Evanston who told us that winter up at that altitude is basically 10 months. ENOUGH for me, DONE, FINISHED, I was OUTTA there. It snows until June and starts back up in September. That may be different in Laramie or other places, but up on that continental shelf high altitude area of southwestern Wyoming, it's COLD! We didn't move there.
The first offer should be better.
However, the font and margins the client uses on the gross line account will impact the line count. Best advice is to run a test on some documents that you have right now using both methods and see where you come out.
Thanks for the offer
I live in PA and as much as I hate the winters here I'm not sure my husband is ready to pick up and leave but thanks for the offer
They will offer up a job you will see SM
on all the boards on your own anyway, and if you refuse that job and tell them to find a different one, you will never hear from them again.
And they can say thank you and offer their first newborn
qq
I wanted to offer ...sm
our RV that is in our yard. DH reminded me that the kids still sleep there because of our house fire (dishwasher door caught fire). Our house is still in disrepair.
I'll have to find another way to help.
Cuban offer
Yeah, but W isn't alone as a world-leader in surrounding himself with Secretarys and admins who are mostly dicks. Actually, I'm surprised Fidel made the offer-unless he's got all the Dr.'s families locked away for "return-receipt" purposes
Yes, they do offer benefits.
I wasn't aware that they hired SE or IC. I was only offered FT or PT employee status with a set schedule.
You may offer to do ops on several accounts. That's
zz
Do they offer anything besides VA facilities now? nm
s
Actually, they do offer insurance to SM
part-time associates after 2 years. They also have insurance that full-time associates can get during their 90-day waiting period for their regular insurance to kick in after they are hired.
I agree - consider the new job offer; but also consider, sm
if you can have unlimited work available at either job. That to me is a big plus or are you limited by how much is available. Whichever one has the most consistent work available, is the one I would work for, or I would try doing both for a few weeks to figure it out. I know that would be tough, but in the long run would be worth it.
The higher line count does not necessarily mean it is the best fit. The work may run out; however, the lower line count may have consistently a larger volume and you will never run out.
If you are unsure, as an IC, you can try both, just will have to put in a lot of hours for the first few weeks to figure it out.
I have always done that and always have 2 IC positions, sometimes 3.
Good luck in whatever you decide!
Absolutely take that offer!

RUN AWAY FAST FROM THAT OFFER!
I had to purchase the StartStop foot pedal for $200. The first day was a nightmare. The second day was worse. The third day was just pathetic, but the fourth day was okay after I sent them a nasty email. I had to explain to them, I was a Transcriptionist and not a translator. They put me on another account with doctors speaking English and as soon as I got my line count decent, they put me back on the ESLs. Their accounts are 99% ESLs. When I say ESL, I mean they do not speak any English whatsoever, i.e. "thrappy" is therapy and "palowang" is electrogram <---- I am still trying to figure that 1 out. Their QA/editor must be an online transcription course poster and have no experience in grading a transcriptionist's work. They constantly change your report, spell it wrong, and then turn it in to the client with words misspelled under your name. Then to top it off, they send you nasty emails stating your accuracy rating is low due to mistakes. When you go view the corrected report, your report was actually right and they were the one who changed it for no reason because they do not have grammar, medical terminology, etc. So I would not take any offer with them. They are more of a learning transcription company who have not mastered transcription itself. Therefore, they are not capable of grading an experienced transcriptionist's work because they are still learning.
Hello! I can't offer any advice, other than
to share that I was in nearly an identical situation about 4 years ago, right down to even selling our antique furniture - not that it was worth all that much, but I had collected it over the years and it was the furniture we used - the chairs, kitchen table, etc. We did lose everything - even many friends who could not understand how everything went so wrong so quickly. I am also a Christian, and I got the most criticism from my prior church family. We had done nothing wrong - just a series of snowballing things went wrong. We had to move to a completely different area of our state. No doors would open for us other than from strangers hundreds of miles away - we weren't asking for handouts - just a house to rent that we had the $$ for. At any rate, I had kids as well, pets - beloved animals that I had to euthanize as not one animal organization would help me - the Lord could not have squashed me further. But he stopped right before I broke permanently, and I then trusted that this was meant to be - 4 years later, I am so blessed beyond my wildest dreams. Everything I lost has been restored and 10 or 20 fold, I have a great job, great new car - though a practical one - and I look at nothing the same - nothing matters as other posters have said - My kids grew so much into great mature kids thru this tragedy, all have new close awesome friends, and we found a church that was absolutely the perfect match for us. I am just picking at different topics, but it was such a tragic experience that in the end turned into such a blessing. We just had to hang in there when nothing made sense...and we got pruned of a lot of - stuff - in our lives, but all for the best in the end. Please feel free to write me as well if you would like to talk. I certainly understand 100% what you're going thru and how depressed you feel.
I can't even offer a comment to you.

Not much to offer, but legally I don't even
think his mother could get his $ before you, his wife. Something sounds fightable there. Sounds like your hubby has a lot of growing up to do. When a guy marries, he should lessen the relationship with his mom, and transfer his love, attention, devotion, loyalty to his wife. As long as his parents are willing participants, doesn't sound like you have much of a chance. I had been in a vaguely similar situation - my husband's controlling parents were ruining our marriage - they actually wanted us to divorce due to their own control issues. We separated, I moved to the other end of the state. My husband quickly followed, and once out of his parents' WEB, we were able to focus on our marriage, and he was able to see the negative influence of his parents. I'm sorry you're going thru this. PLEASE keep us posted!
Thanks, max. We got an offer and it is now under contract......nm

Then, I would say 9 cpl to 10 cpl would be a decent offer.
Go for it! 
Which offer sounds best?
I have only worked for 1 national and there I get 0.969 cpl for 65-char with spaces, and right now the incentive is 1.5 cpl at 7,000 for ALL lines typed (inctive is subject to be discontinued soon possibly). I have an offer for 0.95 cpl with for 55-char line with NO spaces and 1 cpl for all lines with 98% quality, but a VERY slow platform. Second offer is 0.85 cpl for 65 char with spaces, 1 cpl bonus over 6,000 lines for only the lines over 6,000, but a pretty good platform. So much to figure and think about my head is swimming. The second 2 jobs have much better benefits. HELP!!
Interesting job offer
I can't take it because it requires too much traveling, but I was offered a position where I would go to hospitals and clinics and work with docs and MTs going onto VR systems. I said I charged $36 an hour for it and once again I think I low balled myself. Any ideas where to look to get ballpark figures for this sort of thing? I would LOVE to go to hospitals and train doctors to be better dictators. I told them if they wanted to use me once in a while or do more local places I would consider it.
new grads and what they have to offer
very little experience, work very cheaply, anything just to get an opportunity. What a reality check it will be for them when they realize theyre going nowhere in this business after a couple of years, no raises, no opportunity for advancement, and still be making the same (or lower)$12/hr they started out at, all the while cost of living going up. Bright futures, I think not. Burn out, YES. These newbies will have to work even harder than we have to right now to make ends meet, maybe even take a second job. You are fortunate to have your own accounts and your own work so..... I don't think you understand whats going on in the world of MTs that work for these companies who work them to death.
dunno -- WAS considering the offer, but not now.
k
Yes! That is a good offer.
I worked for one company that paid $1.15 for everything from plain films to MRIs, and $2.25 for interventionals only.
Even if you have a relatively heavy load of CTs and MRIs, that is a good rate. I would take it in a heartbeat. Go for it! 
I just had someone offer me 5.5 cpl. I laughed and said no thanks - nm

Job offer pay question.
Hello, I've been working from home for 2.5 years for a multispecialty hospital. I applied for a MT position in a local hospital histology lab in central Texas. I was asked to come in for an interview. What is an appropriate dollar amount to ask/expect for a MT (senior) position in the histology lab?
well, they don't offer $80,000 anymore; it's more like.....
$30,0000 a year......they had some openings this past summer of 2007. I checked in to it. They had some openings in ophthalmology and I was contacted by a recruiter who told me they offered around $30,000 a year. I said, thank you, but no thank you. Just so you know.
Just list what you have to offer
I do a flyer or a tri-fold brochure. I just basically list what I have to offer for services, my years of experience, specialities, pricing, TAT, etc. Just sell yourself and state what you are offering. To start out with, a flyer might be better as you don't have to put so much into it. I do professional with a splash of color. If there is one clinic I really would like to do work for, I bring in a plate of cookies and my flyer/brochure to the receptionist. Somehow it has always worked for me and now it is mainly on word of mouth. Yellow pages has helped also. Have not done it in awhile but I usually get one to two calls when I do a mass mailing of about 100 out. Now though, I have too much. Good luck.
Just because you don't offer digital sm
to your clients for fear of losing them to digital and it's possibilities, don't think someone else won't come in offering them a free, easy transition to digital. Most likely someone already has. I would not make that your reason for transcribing tapes. It's a no brainer that a company could call your client saying we'll charge you .08 for 800#. You dial in for your dication and we have it printed in your office for you. You're not safe because you use tapes. You're just behind in technology. No rudeness intended, just stating the facts.
not many companies offer that either.

How can one offer FT IC vacation pay?
Post on another board offering vacation pay for a FT IC. They also dictate what days and how many lines minimum the MT must work. I am so tired of MTSOs hiring IC to save themselves money, but play around the IRS guidelines......you cannot dictate any of the above for an independent contractor. I suppose no one reports these companies to the IRS?
Maybe she will take pity on me and offer help..sm
I am using Edit Script V8 and love my IT so am thrilled to read your post..thank you for taking time to tell me that, it really makes me feel better! And nice Escription lady..please feel free to email me!
did they offer you the position? Which office? sm
If you don't mind my askin'! 
Offer to do the work for free. You have not done something that has not been done before.
dd
thats laughable. Why didn't they just offer
Thanks to you all - I ended up declining this offer after all. nm

does MDI offer voice recognition?
Sounds interesting to me. Would be curious to know if anyone is successful with VR and what companies offer it.
just starting--can you offer me advice
I am looking into MT as a "job change". What can you all tell me? I have read that M-Tech or Andrews is the best way to go. Do I HAVE to have formal training? How beneficial is it? Do they help me get jobs? I have no idea what all questions to ask. I live in St. Louis, and have heard of Allied Business School here. Any advice greatly appreciated! Deidre
Thanks to everyone for the advice and offer of prayer - sm
How ironic is this. S works in a mental health unit but they don't see children. The psychologist that Tater does see works with children but I think her 20+ years of experience is missing this particular type of behavior counseling.
Still hoping I will hear back from this doctor I wrote to last night to see if she has any advice to offer too.
Also many offer $30 for a 60 minute tape -sm
so if 600 lines you get a whole .05 a line, WOW!! I have only seen 1 I was remotely interested in doing so far, but have not bid on any as yet, doubt I ever will.
AT &T and other co offer unlimited plans
We have an unlimited longdistace plan with AT&T for only $35 monthly I know there are a few other companies that also offer these type of plans. I would definitlly check into them if I had to pay longdistance charges.
smile and nod, or offer him a drink and tell him
nm
That's an insulting offer for someone with experience. Please keep looking. nm
s
but all phone companies offer....sm
Privacy Director - I have had privacy director for years thru my phone company (bellsouth) and I get NO telemarketer phone calls EVER. *S*
I'm not in the position to offer advice
I've never been in your position before but it sounds like marriage counseling is a good last step. At least at the end of the counseling, you will know you tried all you could do.
I wish you the best in whatever decision you make. Good luck & I hope things work out for you.
