Is your company hiring?
nm
who's your company and are they hiring lol :D
ty so much for your input on this.
Apparently so...since that what the company that's hiring
says:) Don't get all worked up now...just be humble and accept that you maybe pounced when you should have prodded:)
can you say which company you work for and if they are hiring?
n
I don't know if you're interested or not, but there's a company hiring
radiology MTs right now. It's not a national. Diagnostic Imaging Fax your resume to 843-571-2963 I don't know anything about pay rates or location, but the job was delivered to my email box. Work from home, flexible hours, pay by the line, full time openings.
INDIA, INDIA, NEWBIE LOOKING FOR INDIAN-OWNED COMPANY-FORGET AMERICA COMPANIES HIRING NEWBIES!!!!
  Our country sucks when it comes to teamwork. My experience is in hospital transcription and 95% foreign dictators. Most of my dictators are from India and surrounding countries. Give up you all,  India is already way ahead of us!
Find a better company
I think it's funny that you would expect to see the company's line count charge for the customer. Do you think every business lets their employees see what they charge the consumer? Anyway, sure we should have accurate line counts. Guess what? if you work somewhere that isn't giving you one, leave. I did. When I worked at Spheris, I could type all day and never reach my goal. EVER. And I was typing 200 min of dictation at my other job and doing 18,000 to 20,000 lines a pay. I knew something was not right. So I left and found a new job. Now I work for another national. I have no problems, NONE with my line count. As a matter of fact, I find it easier to get my goal there than ever before.
We don't have to unionize to get what we want, we just need to keep looking for a better job. There are some out there. Especially if you don't go into it looking for something perfect. There are problems on any job in any career.
Any company you have to pay to find you a job
is probably a scam.
If this is the company I think it is you won't find better.
I have interviewed, tested, and have been offered positions with at least a dozen companies in the last 2 years and none of them had anything better to offer.
The paragraph issue is really a non-issue to me because over a period of a day it isn't going to make enough difference in my line count to buy a cup of coffee. I hate long reports too for the most part, it really depends on the dictator. I try to make a game out of it. I take a deep breath and just start typing and it seems to really make it go faster. After I finish a report I might allow myself to get up and have a drink, read the newspaper, or surf the net for 5 minutes. Since I download my work I can for the most part decide what order to do the reports in. If I have a couple of long ones and a couple of short ones, I'll alternate them. If TAT is close I'll just type them in order though. When I get tired I get up and move around even if it is just to put a load of laundry on. When all else fails I set the alarm and take a 15 minute nap and go back at it. You can ask your supervisor, or the one assigning work, if you could have a different mix.
It sounds like you are just stuck in a rut more than anything.
If you do decide to look elsewhere I suggest trying to work the new job part-time for a couple of weeks before giving notice, so you can see if you've made the right decision. Like I said, if this is the same company I work for in FL you won't find anything better.
Could you all help me find a company that does not need
I am a soon to be displaced acute care MT as the account I transcribe on has moved on to another company. I would really appreciate any input about the companies you work for that do not need cable or DSL and how well you like where you are, etc. Thank you in advance for your time.
You can if you find the right company (sm)
certainly more consistent than selling on ebay. It is also good for a single mom because you don't have to spend money on childcare and you are home when your child(ren) are out of school. I say keep selling on ebay and take the MT course too!
find a new company
I have 10 years' experience, I make 10 cents per line. I make about 3500.00 a month before taxes. You could do much better somewhere else.
Where would you find a company...sm
paying 10 cpl when they're all trying to get by with 6-7 cpl? When I started with the Nationals about 4 or 5 years ago, the going rate was 8 for novices, 8.5 for experienced and 9 for acute care or 3rd shift. but the greedy MTSOs are cutting our pay to the bare bone, year to year, penny by penny. So at this rate, in about 5 more years, we can expect to make 1 to 2 cpl. When will it stop? When we make it stop. I know we can't all go on a collective strike and some of us need their jobs since they have no other recourse. And the Suits know it. Woul any other industry, even dishwasher or floor cleaner, cope with this type of abuse?? The answer is in us. They need us more than we need them
Keep looking, but find a smaller company.
The smaller ones have better accounts, useful macros and expansions, decent line rates, nice supervisors/owners, but probably IC with no benefits. I don't care about that as long as I can crank out the lines in a small amount of time.
Find another company, SoftScript is
They lie, steal lines, expect you to work 24/7, and will call you on your weekend and beg you to work. You will have no life. They also have 97%+ ESL.
You are not going to find a good company
didn't pay. Well, SS will work you to death and with the ESL's you will have to work 24/7 just to make enough to buy 10 gallons of gas. Does this tell you anything?
IMO, you need to quit and find another company.
We experienced MTs need to refuse to accept that kind of paycut to work on ASR, which in most cases requires just as much time and effort, if not more.
you might find more info through the company board here.
or did you try that? I'm not awake, tring to help, tho.
I find it unlikely this company will be in business much longer...
that is just horrible.
It may be worthwhile IF you can actually find a company now that pays extra for it -
I let mine drop after 6 years. It got to be very costly keeping up with the continuing education credits because for me it meant nearly always having to fly some place to get them, hotel, food, etc. My 2 cents...
Googled the company and could find no website for it. Weird.
,,
If you search the posts, I think the Company board, you will find that the monies paid to AAMT
for CMT/RMT cerifications are being used to offer "India" rates to workers in India to test for their CMT/RMT cerifications. I REFUSE TO BELONG TO SAID ORGANIZATION AND I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE MY HARD-EARNED FUNDS TO HELPING INDIANS GET CREDENTIALED.
go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
I find most of my abbreviations here. Scroll all the way down until you find the abbreviation box.

yes, they are hiring.....
and the pay is excellent, good benefits, but I understand the supervisor is a total nightmare. Lies, talks about employees to other employees, extremely intimidating and condescending, basically covers her behind by lying about employees...makes life miserable for her MTs. I believe it would be an excellent company to work for if it was not for this problem. But wanted some feed back on things others have heard.
Are they hiring or something? sm
What have you heard about the transcription supervisor. I have been looking around and don't want to get into something really bad.

Deb Marlow/MDI-FL
Yes, take it. If you don't want it, let me know who it is that's hiring.
How does it compare with what you're making right now?
Do you know if they are hiring?
I'm also in the Memphis area. Do you know if the hospital you work for is hiring? I have years of experience. You can e-mail me if you'd like  .
RE: Do you know if they are hiring
We had an opening that was advertised for a couple of months the first part of the year and was just filled with the person starting on 05/22/2006. Sorry.
hiring
if you live in AR, MS or TN area yes they are.
Why are they hiring again? sm
It seems like ALL accounts are under control very, very well. Especially on the weekends, the work usually runs out for all accounts! Why do they keep doing this? They have cut out their only benefit of direct deposit because they don't have the SE positions anymore. Why are they doing this?
anyone hiring?-sm
I am looking for IC work and have applied to many MT services in response to ads posted here. So far, nothing. Is the job market that competetive? In the past, I have usually heard back right away but not so now. This is frustrating.
QED is hiring.
x
are you hiring?!
I just could not resist the temptation. I am serious though :)
hiring
Unfortunately, at the time I do not have current openings, hopefully that will change soon - I do however bring on mostly "newbies" to give them the opportunity to earn while they learn, and I am honest with them - my rates are not the norm and are lower - but they get the opportunity to add to their resume, and gain the experience without a non-paid internship. The experienced MTs I look for when I have the special projects that pay much better. I started as an MT and can appreciate the need for experience, as well as a respectable rate of pay. When I need individuals this is the first place I come. So all I can say is keep your eyes out for it. "Newbies" who apply whether hiring or not, are always kept on file for "next-up" hiring.
BUT I ONLY HIRE US CITIZENS, AND I DO NOT OUTSOURCE. I do not affiliate with offshore companies, do not want any contacts, e-mails, etc. I do just fine with the American "newbie" or experienced MT.
I will however, take every opportunity afforded to me, to bring the work back to the US, by showing their clients that American is the way to go, by offering information on the pros of the American MT and the cons of offshore companies. Even if it means I offer a low rate to sign those US dictators who currently use offshore companies or use companies who send work overseas - and believe me, eventually they all come back, sooner or later, I just want it to be sooner.
I just don't think if you are hiring ICs
Time and time again I see this as a complaint by MTSOs that an IC is not doing the work, but an IC does have a choice to refuse a job. If I had to sub my clients, then I would find someone who would do overflow or could fill-in when my regular ICs cannot commit. I would also have a work pool and not assign work. As an IC, you cannot then expect the MTSO to always have work for you either.
I work as an IC with my own clients, but I also work from a pool with an online company. It works very well for me. I either can work and take the work or if I can't, then someone else is trained to do the work. No harm done for either one of us.
The bottom line is in assigning work to an IC that has the choice to not work if he/she so desires. If you are looking for a commitment, then you may be better off hiring employees that will need to be accountable.
on hiring -- sm
If you hire employees, you do not necessarily have to become *incorporated*, but you will have to get a tax ID number, which is not difficult, and prepare 1099 forms for your employee, so they can report their income at the end of the year. You do not necessarily have to open a commercial bank account, but it would be easier for you to keep track of your expenses and payments to employee. Whatever you have paid your employee over the year, you can also deduct from your taxes, as well. You can become incorporated if you so choose, as it is SUPPOSED to save you tax dollars, but I have yet to figure that part out. Hiring an accountant may be in your best interest, as well, unless you have the time to keep very good financial records of all of this. good luck to you.
are they hiring?
do you know if the full time job you have at 12 cpl is hiring at this time? or even the part time job? you can e-mail me if you like. thanks
Not hiring?
Have you guys tried calling these companies to see what their reply is? I would be interested to see what they say. Also, go on the job boards and try maybe a small company that needs help versus a large national. You might have better luck there! Good luck!
Do you know if the p/t is hiring?
That would be great to just work whenever.
anyone hiring new mt
I worked for a company for six months transcribing Orthopedic and some Radiology. I worked about 50 hours a week. my biggest paycheck was $368 for the entire month. The QA person kept telling me that I was doing great for a newbie and that everyone goes through this and I will be making good money soon, I just have to be patient and stick with it. I did not have any medical spellchecker or Instant Text, (which I do now) and what was also difficult was I was taught the AHDI Book of Style and they did not follow that so she kept telling me it was wrong. I really enjoyed the Radiology, wish I had more experience. Do you know of any companies that would be willing to take a chance on a newbie, mentor me along the way, I am willing to train on their platform for nothing just to get my foot in the door. If so, catglad@att.net
they are hiring but..
worksource Florida's website doesn't allow your application to go through, so who knows what is up with that.
Spheris is hiring PT
Spheris is hiring for PT and I am really happy there. I've been there about a year now, and I'm about to switch from FT to PT to spend more time with the kids.
If you want me to pass on your resume directly, I'd be happy to, if you send it to me at carasoffice@yahoo.com.
Good luck! Oh, and they are hiring for all shifts - acute and clinic.
Any hiring - ER only - or clinic maybe?
Need a new job! But have only done ER for 12 years. Old single mom with small children and no time to learn new tricks right now LOL! Anyone know of a good company - at-home - that hires for ER only (not Spheris) or clinic work? Would appreciate as much input as you are willing to give. Would especially be pleased if they supply equipment! Thanks!
Is your employer hiring?
Thanks for the tips.
So are you hiring or not? I'd like to apply
and see if I have what it takes to work for you.
Try hiring ONE good MT.
Try and recruit one good MT and you'll find there is in fact a huge shortage of same. Try posting an ad and actually test these people (if you can read their resumes). I was all up in arms against offshore as well until I started my own business and couldn't find a decent MT to save my life. Now I understand why others have gone offshore. Many of the Indian MTs are physicians and have trained in the U.S. and/or Europe. I've tested both, just out of sheer curiousity, and the work we received from Indian MTs was far superior.
Young people are not entering this field because they foresee it becoming obsolte, and the elders are dropping off, retiring, etc.
There is in fact a shortage, unfortunately.
If we're truly concerned, we'll assist in training and mentoring of "newbies" instead of being so negative towards them on this and other boards. They are not a threat to you, they are the future of MT and this country. If we don't help them, we all lose.
Try hiring one good MT
Please be so kind as to share your MTSO name. And by the same token, if indian MTs are physicians, do they work for 7 cents or less a line?
By the way, what do you pay for MT transcription, by the line?
I am all for newbies but they are sold a "bill of goods" when they go to school and told they will be able to get a "good paying job" in this field, only to find out that without experience, your education means diddly!
QUESTION: Why is MQ hiring????????
I want an answer to that question. Simple enough.
DSG in Atlanta, GA is still hiring I believe nm
