To Heather - Check Indeed

Posted: Nov 15th, 2019 - 11:59 am In Reply to: Well that's discouraging - Heather Mortensen

It would take you probably close to a year before you could ever find a job doing transcription w/o experience and those schools lie, just like recruiters do about companies. Check Indeed for Work At Home jobs. With the holidays coming up, you could do customer service for retailers, check Amazon, LL Bean, Macy's, etc.

Like was posted before, so many MTs out there with years of experience and are working for next to nothing and as an IC and also you cannot rely on just one company to keep you working all the time. Most MTs work for 2 or 3 companies and still run out of work and on top of all that, they treat us like dirt! No regard for us at all. Will fire you on the spot, lock you out of your accounts, put you on probation, you name it and your self esteem will plummet.

There are other WAH jobs, do some checking and leave this job behind. You will totally lose in the long run.

Good luck.
