Hi Lori,
Check with someone at Career Step. They should offer you a listing of employers who will test their graduates. I am an M-Tec grad, and there are many job opportunities available for graduates. I would think that Career Step would offer the same thing. Since you have some experience under your belt, I am sure you would have no trouble finding a job!
Good luck!

IC vs. Employee
When I was hired by the national I am working for I was given a choice, IC or employee. I was hired by this company right out of school. In order to be an employee with them they required 12,000 lines per pay period (2 weeks). Being an independent contractor had no minimum line count. Since I was fresh out of school I knew that there was no way I could commit to 12,000 line per pay period, so I chose to be an IC. Once I got my production up to speed, I was able to switch to employee status. I am not sure how other companies work, but I do believe that most will give you the option to be IC or employee. I just don't know if you can switch mid-stream or not.
Hope this helps you some!

Getting a transcription position
I've worked for 19 years as a Transcriptionist for a mental health facility and now that I'm close to being able to retire, I'd like to do the transcription from home, but because I'm not certified, can't get a second look. Any suggestions???? Thanks

Heartland employee
Hello, I am not a Heartland employee, but I did take their test and passed with a 92. They said at the time that their training class was full and as soon as they had an opening for training, that they would get in touch with me. I have not heard from them and that has been two months. I am a CareerStep grad. Wanda
Position with Medigrafix
Brandy I went to the Medigrafix website and it states that you need 5+ years experience. How did you get the position as a newby?
Position at company
I am a newbie but would be interested in the company that is hiring. Could you how to reach them?
What is depressing is that someone in your position,
is posting a message about errors, and is not proofreading their own sentences. I found several grammar errors in yours, but I will not comment on that. LOL
I do understand what you are saying, but sometimes we are allowed to relax a bit and just take it easy. I am not applying for a job here. I am simply looking for constructive information. I will not put you down or anyone else who has their own reasons for mistakes that were made in messages posted here. I look at several MT boards on the internet and have learned a lot from the older MTs and I will continue to improve my skills no matter what it takes. I love it. I never claimed to be perfect or entitled to anything. Life has thrown me some curves, but it is getting better.
if you are hired by co, usually employee...sm
If you are *hired by a company* then usually you are an employee...it is when you score your own accounts that you can become an IC....but I'd brush up on typing skills, no offense.....it's truly detail- oriented work and you misspelled pursue and independent...and again, no offense....
Seeking a position
I am generally good with different speech patterns, having lived overseas and around the military. I would really appreciate if someone could direct me to a site where I could internship/work/test for ESL accounts. Any suggestions? Generally, I enjoy the challenge of deciphering the word choice. It is almost like a puzzle. Am I crazy?
IC versus employee has nothing to do with either
IC is just a tax status.
There are plenty of MTs who get paid hourly.
It won't make any difference if you are an IC or an employee...you can get paid whatever method you are successful at negotiating with your client or employer.
its employee status only -disregard my ? NM

You didn't say if you are an MTSO or IC or employee or what. (nm)

So I'm still not sure ... but the MT is a hospital employee, sometimes they will "weight" m
dictators so you get a little extra credit for unusually bad dictators. But that may not be a common practice everywhere.
If you are an IC, or at least once you are experienced, you might be able to negotiate a better rate for a particular MD if nobody else can or will do his dictation.
But have faith - some dictators who sound just horrible the first few times will suddenly be a breeze once you "crack the code." You will probably do that much more quickly if you have an experienced MT helping you out, listening to the difficult spots.
Sounds like you need the position from Boo2
is requiring. Maybe you wouldn't have to look for a job, filling out those applications and trying to do those tests. Since you do not have children, you should have no problem at all with the turnaround. You two could be two peas in a pod.  Oh, I'm bad, very bad! Take a taste of your own medicine, bitter or sweet? Lord, forgive me, please!
5.5 as an employee is good to start! sm
I started my first job at 5cpl as an IC, no benefits. If you are offered 5.5 cpl plus benefits to start take it. You will get more later on but you need the experience. I've been working 7 months now and just took a new job at 7cpl. You have to start somewhere and cannot expect to come into the industry making what experienced people are being paid/offered. Yes, many companies post ads and say they offer 7-9cpl, but you'll also notice most of them are also asking for the MT to have 3-5 years experience. Taking a lower wage when you are new is not belittling, it is reality. You can always work your way up. Also you can continue to job hunt while working and if you find better, great then switch companies. You have to start at the bottom, but you would be surprised how quickly you can move up if you are good at what you do. Good luck!
contracting versus employee
Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of contracting versus employee? I have plenty of time throughout the day, but my husband works from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. This is a large chunk in the middle of shifts. Is contracting setting the amount you will do for the day? Like I would be able to work 6 hours but at split times throughout the day? Any help on this would be appreciated.
Going rate per line as employee
Can anyone tell me the going rate per line for employee status? I am currently IC, but looking for employment. Any help appreciated. - Newbie!
If you are an MT employee or MT employer pls EMAIL ME!
I need all the help i can get. I'm submitting my package to get into the MT program by the end of June 2009 and the only thing I haven't completed is the informational interview. I have to ask 3 MT employees and 3 MT employers a few questions about this line of work and I'll be able to get my package processed and hopefully get into the program right away. I am on maternity leave and it's difficulty for me to leave the house and search for people. Please help me out so I can get into this program and finally make something of myself that I can be proud of. Thanks everyone who has taken the time to read this. My email is carpio_cat@hotmail.com
How do I find a Newbie MT Position with No experience
Hi! Just wondering I am new to this and I am still in school but really would like to start working ....How Do I find a Entry Level position...These companies don't want anyone without at least 2 years experience and Up..What about the rest of us?

Better paid healthcare position to MT here...big adjustment, but it's...
entirely worth it. The lower pay (at least for a while) versus the stress you feel as an RN - only you can decide, but in the long run I'll go with MT any day.
Also, if I were you, I would go with M-Tec rather than CS. It is a much more comprehensive program, and you will be much more prepared. Yes, it is a bit more expensive, but you will have many, many job offers when you graduate and can pick what suits you best.
IC or employee? There's no way you're working for a national
and making more than 8 cpl in your second year of MT. 6 is an OK rate for a newbie who's still wet behind the ears. You've never seen her resume or school transcripts. How can you tell her she's worth as much or nearly as much as experienced MTs? I won't nitpick, but newbies need serious feedback.
Can you please share the company that offered you a position? Thanks. nm

I have finally graduated and accepted a position! I'm so excited!
For all of you still in school, don't give up! Get stubborn, work hard, and it will happen! Good Luck to all!! 
Amanda, you know what? I sat here all weekend thinking about offering Lisa an IC position (sm)
that might be able to help her out, as I work in 12-hour TATs, but the more I saw the posts left from her, the more I chose not to get involved. I come to this board for the specific reason of offering help, as I feel anyone who truly needs a break should be given the opportunity. However, Lisa has made it blatantly clear that the only opportunity she wants is on HER terms and I actually feel slighted that I was willing to take a chance with someone who comes across the way she has.
Also, I am offended by the fact that Lisa states her first job is "Mom," as if mine is not. Yes, I do WORK as an MT and I work hard at it, but I also am there for every single aspect of my children's lives, including class mother, PTA chairperson, basketball, softball, baseball, dance, etc. I work hard daily for the balance (without the benefit of my wonderful husband) and I MAKE it work for all of us and for that I am rewarded and blessed. How dare someone even critique my abilities, especially as a mother.
