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....

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!
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
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.
Employee Position
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!
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.
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
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.
Newbies are getting hired.
I didn't have to pay big bucks for my education and did just fine. I also got hired with a national right out of school and have never had trouble getting offers and the best pay.
If you haven't been to one of the other schools, you should keep your opinions to yourself! What's right for you may not be for someone else and vice versa. I get so tired of hearing crap like yours.
I could create what you call a top-notch school in no time. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to do it either.
They test them and if they do well, they get hired like anyone else.

Reason you can't get hired...
"... six were willing to test me. Four of them I failed and the other two I quit in the middle of the test because they had ESLs in there and we weren't even trained on ESL dictations."
This is what happens when you don't go to Andrews or M-TEC. You choose a "cheaper" school, and you get a poor education. Companies who "require" 2 years' experience WILL TEST AND HIRED brand-new grads from Andrews and M-Tec because they know they have a full, complete, and excellent education. They will not even allow people from schools advertised on the back of matchbooks and in TV Guide to take their employment test, because they KNOW they do not have the proper education and training!
No. I wait until I'm actually hired. No need for it beforehand. nm
s
if she has no training, she will not be hired
nm
Yes they do, but then they are hired by the company. If you can't
get hired it isn't going to be helpful.
HELP! Where can new grad get hired?
I am a new graduate ... where can i get a job? All the posts want yrs experience! how do i get any ... if no one will hire me?
Thanks for any help
I went to a community college and was hired
by a national one month before I graduated. You do not have to go to one of the "Big 3" to find a job in this business. You have to keep applying, keep sending in resumes, and TEST, TEST, TEST. That's what I did. It's not easy, but it can be done if you stick with it.
IThey might have hired you for a new account. Call! sm
You didn't mention the name of the company. It could be they have a new account and it's not off the ground yet. It was a month after I was hired before I actually started working. That was two years ago and I'm seldom out of work. I'm still on that same account.
If you are hired as an IC, is it harder to stay with that company?
Do you have to worry about renewing your contract every so often?
LOL, Thanks! ..... when I'm ready to be hired, wouldja pass the word around?? LOL ... nm

I've hired from that school before and have found CAIs SM
graduates to be severely undertrained with lack of basic skills. I've hired several of their graduates and none of them worked out. That's how I know it's not a quality school.
M-TEC or Andrews have track records of their grads being hired.
If you want to learn about the industry, get a solid education, and see employers knocking themselves out to hire you, go with one of them. I attended M-Tec and literally had dozens of offers to test and several job offers before I even graduated. Some people get tired of hearing those names coming up time and time again, but the facts speak for themselves! Check out their web sites. Good luck! :-)
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.
If you don't know the difference between loosing and losing, you're not going to get hired any

MT is not worth it anymore. Would not worry about past. Did need to give ID to be hired though.
.
Andrews, MTEC, and CareerStep produce graduates that are regularly hired. NM

Why are companies telling people they are hired but they need to wait in line for available mentors.
from their company. How long should someone wait? Is it even worth taking the test?
