With no luck. Sent tons of resumes and taken tests without many replies. I'm starting to get worried now.
looking for better pay - mj
[ In Reply To ..]I am looking for a job that pays hourly. I cannot live on cpl it is too difficult and I think it is a ripoff. I do not know how companies get away with it. Or if I went with cpl I want something that is over 8cpl!
I want hourly, too. There are just too many ways they - can rip us off with cpl pay!! (nm)

I think I would lose this way as - L
[ In Reply To ..]I donĂ¢€™t think any place will pay me almost $25.00 an hour and that is the case this morning, actually it was $24.36 on VR. Thanks but no thanks to the hourly pay. I would lose big time. May be all right for the slower typists.
Which VR program was this on - EditScript? nm - MT2
[ In Reply To ..]nm.
I would lose this way, too - Long-time gal
[ In Reply To ..]I would lose being paid by the hour, as my hourly average is $33.25. This is straight typing, not VR.
slow - mj
[ In Reply To ..]I am not slow. I am a good fast typist stuck in a crappy job.
If you are fast, then you should be able to - L
[ In Reply To ..]make a decent salary even at 8 cpl. My first hour was at 4 cpl and almost $25 and noticed another person making, I think, they said 33 per hour straight. DonĂ¢€™t know their rate though.
you can be fast - but if there is no work - tiredoftyping
[ In Reply To ..]you are not going to make any money. I've always been told how fast I am, but I can't ever seem to find an account with a decent work load! For those who have good accounts..congrats, but the good ole days are going away!
I make more cpl - MT in PA
[ In Reply To ..]I work at a local hospital full-time and also part-time in the morning with another company that pays me cpl. At the hospital I only make about $13/hour and that is with my shift diff. I can make much more typing cpl. I'm actually currenlty looking for a new job myself to replace my hourly job because I know how much more I can make cpl if I can find the right fit. Its all about being speedy and accurate to make money when being paid cpl, but I guess its not for everyone. I don't think there are many jobs out there that pay hourly anymore. It might be hard to find.

The patient has a few-month history of thigh pain and numbness. Overall, I suspect the symptoms are likely secondary to radicular origin associated with his L4-5 spondylosis with foraminal narrowing. However, other causes including meralgia paresthetica or diabetic s/l amioxi should be excluded. I appreciate any help you guys can offer! Thanks :) ...

Job Searching
Dec 28, 2009
I have been recently sending out my resume along with inquiring whether certain companies I am interested in are currently hiring. About 90% have not had even the courtesy to acknowledge receiving the e-mail. I am wondering if anyone also recently looking has had this problem and if anyone knows if companies not hiring generally keep this info on file or does it make sense in a month or two to recontact. I can certainly tell the market has cha ...
Keep Searching
Jun 23, 2011
As I was reading through a lot of the depressing posts I thought I would share my experience. I have been an MT for almost 4 years. I was with the same company for almost 3 as an IC. I worked part-time to stay home with my kids. I completely agree with others about how hard it can be with the being in work mode all the time and the ups and downs. At the time I wasn't the sole provider though. However my husband got laid off the beginning of this year and I started to look for full-time ...

It is only as good as what is submitted. You may have been in business 10+ years but screwed people over 5+ years of that time. If no one reports you, the activity continues.... Watch RIPOFF reports. They do not lie. Unfortunately, not enough people file these reports so some of us are ...
Job Searching And New At IC And Testing.
Feb 28, 2013
I know these things have probably been covered before here, but could someone please give me some general advice on what it is to be an IC? Do you just send the IRS a quarterly payment and that's it? What about Social Security and matching? I have always done my own taxes, but I am in new territory here and probably will need a tax preparer now, but until then..... Also, when testing for companies, I find I cannot use my foot pedal with some. How can I do that? ...

Advising The New Coding Students Or Those Searching For Their First Job
Nov 07, 2012
Coders who post on this board need to remind themselves that it is basically for MTs who are networking. A medical transcriptionist who is a coding student or has become a newly certified coder has now learned in the last couple of days that: 1. MT experience, other than medical knowledge, means nothing in the coding world. There IS a big difference between school coding and actual work. 2. The ...

Issue With Searching Company Names In That
Dec 16, 2014
Honestly, why when you search a company do tons of posts from 2006 and previous come up and you have to go through pages and pages of old posts before you see the recent info?The posts should be date order, latest first, IMHO. Who cares what people wrote about a company in 2006 when so many things have changed? I think anything older than a few years ago should not even be included in the search results since not only have most companies changed massively, our work environment has as well, i.e. ...

Been Gone From MQ For A Few Months Now

I've been gone from MQ for about 5 months now, working at the front desk at a local group of docs office. I learned how to schedule patients and meetings, take payments, do the office bills, and file claims and bill insurance for patients and I've got to say, I never gave a thought to much of the person working the front desk. I have been yelled at, threatened, given dirty looks and was once even told that I was an "old, ugly hag". All this usually happens when ...
