CLK Transcription, Inc.
Found a company that is willing to give new MT graduates a chance

Hello,


A company called World Direct Transcription Services, called me yesterday. And she asked me a couple of questions, and then asked me if i would take 2 tests. I said yes of course! One test is a terms test, other is a typing test, also she wanted me to go to a certain website and take a speed typing test too. I will let everyone know today if i get hired.

Look on the company board for the post.
Titled Ascend...beware.
There is a thread about them on the company board.
You should probably check it out.
If you ask on the company board you're more likely
to get your question answered.   This company has been asked about many times in the past and you can do an archive search too.

I've seen talk on there of several companies that hire new grads. 


I actually got hired at MQ right out of school - but it was a much different company then.  I worked there for 3-1/2 years and bailed when the first signs of sinking occured.


I honestly only have experience with them and the company I'm currently at - and I don't think my current one hires new grads.  Check out the company board though and I'm sure you'll find a company that will make you much happier than MQ could.


 


Check the company board. These same
questions have been asked multiple times the past couple of weeks.  I didn't see anything good about them. 
Ask on the company board. You're likely to get
more response there.

If you'll check the company board you'll find
they have been talked about several times recently.  They are an Indian company and no one has had anything good to say about them. 
Didn't she sell it, or just your company to an offshore company. The woman

has a screw loose. 


No, the woman who owns this company can't transcribe herself, much less run a company.

Any company that charges anything to work is not a reputable company. However,
if a company offers a job and requires that you have a certain pedal and offers to provide it and then take it out of say your first paycheck or couple of paychecks, then that is acceptable.

My belief is that companies that charge you for software or anything else is trying to make money off of you.

While $11.95 isn't much, figure that amount times 10 or 20 or 100 and what do you come up with? Smells like a scam to me.
company was sold so they have no company to hire you after graduation!
They are not a reputable school and I went there so I should know. Even when they did have Trans. Relief Services they never answered my email about employment upon graduation.
You can do a search on...

the Better Business Bureau or Google them.  That's what I have done in the past.


Good luck with your job search!!! 



What do I search for?
I've searched for people looking for independent contractors, but they are generally companies. I'm wondering if there are searches that others have done for a doctor looking for an independent contractor and not just companies and I'm wondering if anyone else has had success in doing so, anywhere on the internet and not just here?
Do a Search!
This subject is broached EVERY DAY (along with "I can't find a job....help!").  Do a search, you'll find plenty of information.  Research is one of the top things MTs have to excel in to be any good.
Search
If you type the company name into the Google search box on the main page and click the Search MtStars, you will get a bunch of posts that have the name of that company in them.  You can also search the company boards.
search
There is search box right above all the posts.  If you type in your school name, it should archive all the posts about that school. :)
How goes the search?
It's tough, but you'll find something. I got a spot with Medquist a year ago. I also worked for Sten-Tel for a while as an IC. Not too bad, mostly VR there, and they treated me well, but I didn't want to be an IC. Needed insurance.
Maybe we can help with the search

I have looked at many MT forums on the web and have seen the same things over and over about the frustrations of the job search for New Graduates. In response to these messages and posts, I have put together a comprehensive Essential Tips Guidebook which features useful information to assist with the job search. At Focus Infomatics we are starting to hand these guidebooks out to anyone struggling to find a position that applies to one of our jobs. This guidebook contains helpful topics such as: a background of what to expect in the search, lists of companies and websites to find jobs, MT forums and groups to network, putting together a resume, interview techniques, earning and wage estimates and much much more. I am confident this guidebook will help and anyone who would like a copy, can email or call me and we will email it right out. There is no costs or obligations of any kind for this guidebook, only to let us know if it did in fact help you.



We hope this will assist anyone searching for a new position!



thanks

Job Search
Thank you Judy. I go to mtjobs everyday, but I have never been to the other one you're suggesting. I'll try it out.
I did a search on Google for
entertainment transcription and several companies came up.  Most of them are based in California and require that you live withing 30 minutes driving distance from the location of the transcription company.  See www.transcripts.net, also see www.indeed.com, there are similar jobs posted on this site.
Do a THOROUGH search on this site.....
Especially in March, May, and July of this year.
Do a search on Focus...sm
You will be interviewed by US employees, tested by US employees, and be working with off-shore employees with heavy accents both spoken and written.  I wouldn't work for them.  You make your own choice after searching the archives.
M-Tec grad. Do they actually help you with the job search?

Anyone who graduated from M-Tec--


Do they actually help with the job search or just provide the list of partners they work with on the website?  When I first graduated from M-Tec., I went through the list of partners, applied to several, and had been called back and offered jobs at all.  I stupidly took a job with a company that I can honestly say I hate so far (and have only worked for 2 weeks there) and can't see it getting much better in the near future. 


I remember getting an e-mail from someone--Kathy, Susan, Karen...can't remember who it was now because my entire e-mail account was wiped out and I lost that e-mail--but whoever it was told me that if I was having trouble finding a job to let them know and they would help out.  I went through the list again, reapplied to many of the companies, applied to several that I had not seen before, and have not heard from any of them now! 


I don't know if a lot of companies are just not hiring right now or what is going on.  Nothing has changed about me and before I was getting calls and e-mail daily offering me positions.  Should have taken one of those instead of holding out for this crappy one.   Oh, and I think the issue is also that I only want to work about 15-20 hours a week and a lot of companies are FT only.


If they help other than providing a list, could someone tell me who I need to contact since I can't find the information anymore?  Thanks!


New Grad Job Search
Ive been reading this forum for days and everyday I get more and more discouraged.  Today I found a post about PCDI, which is the school I attend.  I feel confident in the education I am receiving.  They send me emails outlining any mistakes I may have made, and I truly am learning from my mistakes with their help.  I've begun the job hunt and am not having much luck.  Everytime I come across another company, I check them here and almost all of them seem to be 'bad compaies'.  Are there ANY good companies to work for?  I've read the archives and have seen all the bad things about all the companies.  But being a newbie and in need of experience, would be such a terrible thing to gain that experience from a "bad"  company?  I don't want to set myself up for failure, but I deperately need some experience.  I have noticed Trans am hires newbies.  I have read all the negative comments about them.  But being in need of experience, isnt experience from a not-so-good company be better than no experience? Help please!!!
If you search the archives...
You will also find that many of their students DID pass employment tests and DID find employment.  It is all up to the individual.  I have said this before, and I will say it again... There are many MTs who never even went through MT school.  After you find your first job (I suggest searching for an in-house, local position first), stick with it for 2 years if you can.  At that point, employers more than likely will not even ask what school you attended.  They will see that you have on-the-job experience.  Again, it is up to YOU to decide whether your career in MT will be successful or not.
