Work history and experience are not... - PDF Posted: Dec 12th, 2021 - 8:56 pm In Reply to: Work history - Whatever works
Work history and experience are definitely not the same thing. Work history is how good a worker you are. Experience is how well you know your job. One matters more than the other to hiring managers, because one likely doesn't change over time, while the other can change easily with a few weeks of training.
If you think a hiring manager is going to take the time to call up 50 or 60 applicants to ask them details that could/should have been included on their resume, you're sadly mistaken. Finding and hiring new employees is a process of elimination, not of research. If you want your resume to make it past the first round, you'd better answer the questions that the hiring manager has, because they definitely aren't going to call you to ask. Did you take a standard resume writing / job hunting course in college? Answering the hiring manager's fundamental questions so they don't need to figure it out on their own is the whole point of a resume. And... See the paragraph above to find out which things the hiring manager is most interested in. (Hint: The hiring manager already knows you wouldn't be applying for the job if you weren't experienced enough.)
Lastly, I didn't mean to say that the two companies I did not hear from are definitely out of business. It was just that I keep a record of every resume I have ever sent, and the job details for every company I have ever applied to, and the results of having sent a resume. I also update that record every time I see a help-wanted advertisement for a company that is on that list that I might apply to again in the future, so that I know in the future what they are looking for. The two companies that I did not hear back from had posted no help wanted ads (that I am aware of) in many years, so it's possible that they aren't operating anymore. But the jobs they had advertised back in 2016 were 12 cents per line and I figured, "Why not take the 2 minutes to send a resume?" It's not like you even have to pay for a stamp these days.
EDIT: Just realized what you were asking about with the "how do you make money working 30-45 minutes per day" thing: That job I am still hanging on to has many upsides to it. First: It pays 10 CPL. Second: The work I get from the two doctors I have left is assigned to me and only me, so I get to it whenever I want, and those two doctors are all about the normals. I get about 20-30 minutes of dictation from them every day, and I get about 400-600 lines of transcription out of them. So yeah... $40 to $60 per day for 30-60 minutes of work whenever I have the time to get to it. Would you leave that job? Third: The company may find a new account for me to work on in the future. While I may take a pass on that account depending on how much time I have per day left for more transcription (it's not much at the moment), I'm certainly not giving up what I am getting from them currently.
