Need to find new mt job - JP


Posted: Aug 03, 2013

My husband has a 98% chance of relocating for his job.  Right now I have the perfect transcription job onsite.  However, I know I will have a hard time finding a job onsite when we move and i am considering the work at home option.  I have done it before and my kids were younger, so i know that there can be problems with availability of work.  I must admit that I am spoiled to first shift, but I know that I will probably have to work second shift. 

 

My purpose in this post is give me the good, bad and ugly about at home companies you have worked for.  I am not sure which ones to apply with....  Thanks!

Maybe just for starters - nn

I guess for starters, reading the company board, the Nuance board and the MModal board. It really depends on what type of work you prefer doing -- straight typing only jobs are hard to come by nowadays, although luckily last week I was able to be hired by a company that does straight with no VR -- unfortunately, they are no longer hiring right now.

What I would do, if you haven't already... - anon

Talk to your onsite manager about your possible move. Maybe you can hash out a way for you to work remotely. If you're a reliable MT rock-star, they might just bend a bit to keep you. Good luck!

actually faster if you type the report instead of editing with VR?  I have found that sometimes if I type the report myself from scratch, but leave the "speech edited" report at the bottom for reference, I am actually faster.  So, even though I am not making as much per line as I would for a straight typing account, for some jobs (and some days), I make more by completely typing the job myself.  I make 0.516 cpl for editing.  And in someways I feel I need to type sometimes t ...

I know exactly the company you are talking about and have wondered the same thing. The person who wrote the rules must not have a full understanding of the VR program. At this company, we are supposed to adhere to the account specifics to a T if we type on the account, but if we get a VR job on that same account we are supposed to ignore the account specifics and leave it as VR puts it unless there are blatant errors. That makes NO SENSE. Why not train VR correctly in the first place so the repo ...

Cannot Find A Job For Decent Pay.

I have been unemployed for about a year now.  MQ took over my hospital and thus the entire transcription department was eliminated.  Even the union could not keep this monster out.   About 15 of us lost our careers.   I have looked into several positions and cannot find any company that will pay me even 80% of what I am taking home on unemployment benefits!!!  At 58 years of age I am too young to retire but perhaps too old to learn something new.  ...
