Didn't she sell it, or just your company to an offshore company. The woman
has a screw loose.
company is trying to sell you the software/equipment
it is a scam, not requiring the software/equipment. The company can offer payroll deduction, but an outright you must buy this from me first is a big red flag.

Yes, and we have a bridge we would like to sell you too
If you had to put some proof to all that you just said, we'd be looking at lots of blank space where there used to be writing. In other words, balderdash! Your message lacks credibility. I hope that anyone considering doing what you recommend thinks about it very carefully and then rejects those ideas. Most of us know that we see people following advice like this crying on boards every day because they don't know how to transcribe and nobody will test or hire them.
Don't sell yourself short
I am glad you were happy with your Allstate experience, but there are companies out there that hire new grads and provide full QA and excellent feedback and training and you do not have to pay them for it; they pay you. Some even pay hourly for training and provide a good cpl afterward.
If you went to a decent school and have the basic skills, do not sell yourself short. The more graduates that accept these no-pay or low-pay positions, the more there will be of them and consequently, fewer opportunities for graduates with good educations to make a livable wage.
Looks like "resume" wants to sell you a flyer
Judging from the "email me for more info . . . resume@something.dot," Resume is going to have lots of flyers they can sell you. Or be selling some list of speech pathologists, or psychologists, all of whom are DESPERATE to pay you to do their typing, or some sort of software, or some sort of work-at-home opportunity in which you, too, will scavenge internet boards for people who need flyers and resumes, etc., etc.
This makes me wonder if this person is really an MT of they're just scavenging.
Instead of a flyer, send a professional letter with a professional-looking business card to medical, offices in your area. Use the FREE resource, the telephone book. As you will be working alone, you should aim for small offices.
Professional people respond well to professional people. Approach your clients in a professional manner. Your letter is going to be their "sample" of your work, so make it look like what they want their letters to look like.
You can work up a brochure to include with the letter, if you would like, but please don't do flyers. Don't stick anything under doors or on windshields. Use the US Mail.
Mean is the schtick the MT schools sell ya...sm
"you can make $40,000 a year working from home!" and then you pay your thousands of dollars to get out and find out no one will hire you without experience.
You may not sell used Microsoft products here.
Please see the notice at the top of the Classifieds board.

If no takers from this message try eBay. These sell very well there! nm

Career Step will sell their course to anyone with the money, regardless if they will ever be capable
of doing MT work or not, regardless of how poor their command of the English language is or how poor their spelling skills are.
I meant $500.00 not &500.00...
Sorry.
Not quite what I meant
I just meant I could still recoup most of my fees (-30%) if I pull out before the end of this week, otherwise I'm in it for the long haul. I wouldn't pursue this as a career without the education so I'm wondering if it is worth doing this at all?
What I meant...
I was actually referring to the allstatetranscription website. I failed to notice that the link didn't show in my original post. Here it is, if anyone is interested.
www.allstatetranscription.com
I believe they would agree with the above Poster, that M-tech and Andrews are at the top of the list. I didn't know those places existed when I started into training. I don't know much about Career Step.
I went through Allied Business Schools, and their MTAPPP (medical terminology, etc) course is excellent, and very thorough, but I felt the interaction was sparce on the Transcription Course. I believe the books they use are good, they just need a bit more interaction between students and staff, more grading and feedback on transcripts. If you want to just work through their textbook on your own to see if that line of work interests you, you could get it from Barnes and Noble booksellers. It is called
Fundamentals and Practice of Medical Transcription, and it would provide a nice introduction to the subject, but I don't advise buying the whole MT course through Allied.
meant....question
sorry
Nobody meant to attack you...
just to warn you that some places get very upset and consider it dishonest if you list anything done in school as experience. Didn't want you to find out the hard way.
I meant does NOT pay the first 2-3 weeks

Too many acronyms!
Of course I meant NOT the norm!!

OOPS< correction on what I meant...
The name of that textbook I mentioned is Mecical Transcription Fundamentals and Practice. (MTFP)
She probably meant either MTACC or Meditech, not M-TEC. NM

Sorry, meant pre-employment MT tests.
nm
I meant better thatn Focus Infomatics and MQ?
Sorry for the typo.
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.
Oops--- meant to add...explain your concerns & go with the one you feel most comfortable with.

Agree with an outside school, but I went to a business & tech school. Great experience, better

You CAN get a job at home, right out of school, but it has to be a GOOD school.
You should enroll in Andrews School or M-TEC. I know you don't want to spend more money, but at least you WILL be able to get a job. If you thought At Home Professions was a good course, you will be totally amazed at what you DIDN'T learn in that course that you WILL learn at the two good schools. There is no "required" curriculum for MT, anybody can open up a school, charge what they want, and teach what they want. Companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement for graduates of Andrews School and M-TEC, but NOT for the other schools.
What company?
Hello, I recently read your comment and was wondering what company that was that hired you as a newbie? I'm just starting out and I need to work at home to be with my son. Would you mind networking with me! Nice to meet you..e-mail me at kennyandjenny@hotmail.com
thanks! Sincerely, Jennifer Hokanson
Company Name
Can you say what company you are working for?
company
this company is advertising on the job board - Dictate4Me
not sure if this is the same company, but...
A friend of mine who was recently looking for a job had been talking to a lady from New England Transcription (not sure if this is the same company??) and had been given the total run around from them.
First the lady said that they paid 9 cents a line to start, then when my friend got the contract (which she had to call the lady for 5 or 6 times), it said 5 cents a line. Then she never heard from the lady who hired her until the day before she was supposed to begin the job. Then, the day she was supposed to start, she was told there was no work, and she should call back in a few weeks.
Needless to say, she didn't take this job, but it wasted about 3 weeks (from the time she accepted the position until they told her it was no longer available due to lack of work).
If this is the same company, maybe ask for the contract up front and review it carefully. Ask what the work load is like and all that good stuff. Hopefully it's not the same place.
Company
May I ask which company you are working for?
Take the job if you like the company
I would take the job if the company seems professional. The pay rate seems reasonable for someone coming out of school. If the people you are working for are helpful, you will gain tremendous experience. If they will help you with further training, then you are off to a good start. Taking a job with a higher rate and being in over your head might not be the best path. Just my opinion.
What company is it?
.
If you like the company then I would
You can load it and it will have (I think) 2 operating systems but XP should work fine. Not a lot of places are compatible with Vista yet that I know of.
Why do you think that the company you
work for should bend over backwards to give you the account you want? I am sure other MTs are on that account, so would it be fair to take someone off just because you want it???? If you want to find another job fine, but don't think that just because you want certain accounts you will get them. We all take the bad with the good.
About the company
Yes i surely can. It is a SCAM company, STAY AWAY from it if you don't want to lose your money and time.
What is the company name
What is the company name?
I have yet to see a company that uses MAC. The
programs used are not compatible.
bad company
If they are the company that asks you to give them $400 (or something like that) then stay away. Any company that makes you pay for their "software and training" is crap. There are too many better companies out there that don't require you to pay to work for them. Would you go to any other job and pay to work for a company? It's a little backwards.
If it's a reputable company, yes. SM
Some companies do charge a small lease or rental fee.
company advice
Just wanted to know if anybody has ever worked for Breitner Transcription and what they are like?
Thanks!
I think that depends on the company
I think some companies but a time frame on when you can test again if you do not do well the first time. Good luck
