    Manners?
    Excuse me for jumping in on this, but where does the post you are referring to demonstrate a lack of manners?
    The poster makes a valid point that good grammar and command of the English language are a prerequisite for being a good MT. Why sugarcoat it? This is a difficult career to learn even if you are extremely proficient in the language, and if you aren't, you'd better plan to put a lot of time in learning the basics or find another career path. If you have weak grammar and usage skills, it may be a clue that you don't have the basic aptitudes needed to be an MT. Nothing rude about that - it's a fact!
    And this is bad manners.

    And coming from one so refined!


    What they do not teach you in school –

     and what I have slowly begun to realize…


     


    1.                  Every QA/Team Lead/MT has their own style… You must ADAPT.


    2.                  You spend a great deal of time unlearning what you learned in order to comply with your companies guidelines…You must ADAPT.


    3.                  What is audible to a seasoned MT is not quite so audible to a newbie. Instead of getting frustrated, learn from your mistakes.  You must ADAPT.


    4.                  As a newbie, no matter how good you think you are, you are never quite good enough…You must ADAPT.

    Kleenex is good for tears, books are good for learning, pillows are great for yelling into, fist are wonderful for hitting the keyboard.  After you are through doing all of that, go back and try again.  To be a good MT you must learn to ADAPT…
    Depends on the school. Some actually teach.
    Not all schools are just in it for the money. The employers know which ones those are.
    No duh. For the same reason they don't teach machining any more.

    Not a good school. They don't teach
    you enough, and most companies know it and will not let you take their employment test, because they know you probably can't pass it. Definitely a waste of money.

    Check out Andrews School or M-Tec. You will definitely be glad you did.
    If you pass "if"??? And just where do you teach.

    ICS will NOT teach you enough to get a job. Don't be suckered in by the low price. nm

    You have to PAY EXTRA for the internship and they don't teach you enough to get hired. (see messa
    Much better to go to Andrews School or M-TEC, the top two schools in the country. Almost guaranteed to be able to get a job afterwards, and most companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement if you are an Andrews or M-Tec grad.
    Wrong. As I said, her English vocab & grammar were great, but PCDI didn't teach her enough medic
    With an adequate school she would have been great. She had been a secretary for years and had transcribed business dictation previously. She just couldn't learn enough terms in 3 months or whatever.
