I just talked with my instructor
today about line rate, as one company I tested for is offering 6.5 cents/line. She said that was reasonable.
The adapter talked about below are being....sm
discontinued. I thank everyone who responded and I have been on Radioshack's website where the adapters are out of stock. Went to my local store today and was told that they are being discontinued. Just wanted to let everyone know.
Have you talked to your school about
who hires their graduates? They might be able to give you suitable job leads and possibly help you get a foot in the door somewhere.
(It is really hard to give suggestions without knowing specifics.)
I haven't, yet. (sm)
I emailed her on the 12th letting her know a complaint had been filed with the BBB, she emailed me back and said she would mail out the check the following day, which would have been last Wednesday. Hopefully, it will be here soon, I know how slow the mail can be. I will let everyone know when (if) I do receive it.
If you haven't already
contact both M-Tec and Andrews and speak with the folks that run the schools. They are both very accessible and can help you figure out what would be the best fit for you.
If you haven't already enrolled...
check with the BBB.
It is one of the worst schools out there. If you haven't
paid your money don't. If you read through the archives you'll see many posts where their graduates were unable to pass tests and/or felt ill-prepared for the real MT world. They are cheaper than most, but you get what you pay for.
You still haven't addressed the issues brought up below . (sm)
The first sentence of your post above says you are going to address the issues posted on this board, and yet you STILL haven't addressed these issues, such as why you take money upfront instead of letting people buy their own software, why you charged for software that is free, why does someone need to buy a foot pedal from you when they can buy it on their own, and if someone already has a foot pedal and the software what would you charge them. It seems you're skating around the issues instead of addressing them. This has nothing to do with pleasing people 100% of the time, and it has nothing to do with personnel issues. I don't work for you. This is about enlightening those who need it about the scams that are out there.
And you DO respond to these posts very quickly. You responded to my original post INSTANTLY.
how can you rate a "car" you haven't taken out on the "highway" yet?

.....if you haven't figured it out by now, Trans--Am is a scam- sm
any company that asks you to pay $$$ in order to work for them is not on the level. (I am not talking about renting equipment like a C-phone, footpedal or a computer). I have not heard of Career Builder, but again do not pay to work for anyone. As for trying to get a job just keep applying and test everywhere you can.
For Career Step, yes. Their grads haven't done as well for me as M-TEC & Andrews
In my experience, M-Tec and Andrews are the cream of the crop.
Plenty of jobs out there w/o typing tests. Haven't

Keep searching the boards for the info you seek. And go thru an MT program if you haven't already

This is what I have talked about time and time
and time again and somehow the MTs get completely out of joint by just my saying it. I could not believe this "newbie" said she could not leave her home, she had to work from home. I did not get to start working from my home until 1993, hello!! This has not always been a stay at home job and then we did NOT ASK to go home, we were sent home because the hospital needed our space. We never demanded a job at home. Apparently you sound like really don’t want a job at all. If I were employing someone, I would certain run very fast away from you. The first little nosebleed from a child, you would stay off from work for 2 or 3 weeks. This again, folks, is why our profession looks really bad. These posts and yet people are highly inflamed when I call it to their attention. Same story, again and again on these posts. I cant work, junior is bothering me, gotta do the housework. Wake up, everyone! Do not ever expect to gain any respect for the job you do when you have someone like this tearing it down as just a reason to stay at home, oh yeh and I guess I might throw in a little work on the side. Enough said!!!!
