Do ya think I'll ever have enough work to complete a shift - or should I pack it up?


Posted: Aug 30, 2010

I want to work!  I want to earn a check.  Is that too much to ask?

It is too much to ask- we are not allowed to complain - NJA Queen

I ended up on a conference call to discuss my poor attitude and I expressed the same thing you said. I am FT with benefits, I need 40 hours to keep my insurance and can MQ provide me the work? I was told to switch my hours (to what they could not tell me) and to hang in there and basically quit complaining. So apparently it is too much to ask.

With Whom Did You Complete Your MT Training?
Jul 01, 2010

To those of you who have completed a transcription course, who did you go through and why?  I don't know if this is too specific to ask here, but I did not see any rules against asking about the schooling.  I have been an MT for eight years, and received OTJ training, plus I have an extensive medical background prior to transcribing.  However, I have a friend who would like to complete a program, and while I have a few schools/programs in mind to refer her to, I would like to ...

It would be helpful and save time on both ends and lots of paperwork and hemming and hawing if the line rate, hours, bennies, requirements, etc., were given with each ad (I know some do this already)  and then people could apply with that knowledge in hand and present themselves accordingly.  The correct applicant would be applying for the correct job.  Win/win.  I mean, what's the big secret?  Since we are all lumped together no matter how many years of experi ...
