Maybe not so “out of the blue.” Did you happen to reply to their job ad on the Job Seeker’s Board from early February of 2011? If this is the same company – out of Florida?
At any rate, if this is the same company, they were looking to hire 40 new MTs. Wonder why they are going directly to contacting MTs instead of posting again on the Job Seeker’s Board?
Either they did not get enough qualified applicants the first time, or the MTs they hired 6 weeks ago are leaving and they don’t want the same people applying again. Makes you wonder if there is a problem at that company.
Back in February of 2011, they were offering Independent Contractor status – 7 cents per line and 3 cents for speech recognition editing.
If you talk to them, make sure you ask lots of questions.
Good Luck in whatever you decide.
