Posted: Jul 10, 2010

I am trying to find out how to prioritize or pick and choose jobs in my queue. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

jobs - what about this

Do not use that system, are you an MT? Pick and choose jobs, BIG NO-NO!!!!
As far as how to use the system, ask your tech support people.

That is called cherrypicking and if you want every - sm

other transcriptionist in the company mad at you go for it. You don't "pick and choose," you do the work as it comes in.

Not necessarily... - Hayseed

If I had to download a chunk of files from a practice/hospital, say a whole day's worth of notes, and they wanted H&Ps done first, or a particular report, I'd want to be able to prioritize those files in my cue...we're not talking about those awesome "pools" here (I hope not anyway).

I'm sure there's a way to do it with the program in question, I've just never used it before so can't say. I just wanted to chime in on another possibility so the original poster doesn't get accused of cherry picking.

They would assign as per priority vs NOT - sm

Where I work, when I look in the queu there may be DS but if an HP comes in I automatically get that first. Thats usually how it works. Priorities over not. Or, they would assign something to you if it were stat. I cannot pick and choose. What a life that would be eh!

That is true. The client/MTSO assigns priorities - sn

to jobs, stat and priority dictation come in first, then you take what is next, usually FIFO.

I have worked from home as an MT for about 10-1/2 years. Before that, I did word processing at a large law firm for 20 years. I've been trying to find a job recently, and having a VERY difficult time. Everybody wants experience I don't have. I tried at a couple factories, and even though they will hire housewives who have never held a job before, they won't hire an ex-typist to work in a factory. Also, I can't stand for 8 hours so they won't consider me for most assembl ...

I use Express Scribe and for no apparent reason three days ago the internet began shutting down EVERY time I click on my next job - I have to open everything back up up to four times before it will finally open the job. I work for dictators who often do 30-second dictations so I spend most of my day opening the internet and Express Scribe back up - maddening! My employer can't help and the techs told her it sounded like security/firewall issue but I haven't updated or added that, onl ...

Since we work remotely for MTSOs that may be hundreds or even thousands of miles away, can they really tell if we have DSL or calble or satellite or broadband, etc?

I have had terrible luck in landing a job with great experience, 25 years and heavy experience with ESL. I do not have much in the way of VR, but am willing to learn. The reason I cannot get a job is ...

I know there is an internet card that you can buy to get you access to the internet on your computer if you are in an area without direct access. Where would I buy one? I am traveling and will be in a hotel that supposedly has internet but what happens if they don't for some reason. So I will be in range of an internet tower, just not access to wifi or a plug in internet connection. Any help would be great. Just wondering where I get one, and if you might know the cost. I only need it ...
