Does anyone have any information on the Bureau of Office Services, Inc. (BOS) sm - speedyfingerz

How are they to work for? What is the pay scale like? Platform? The ad indicates that benefits are included for FT employees - are they expensive? TIA.

I called and spoke with them - Luv2type

He basically said that he would be choosing all of the MTs who had VA Clearance already on file, first.

Well gee, how do you go about getting VA clearance? - mrs.krabs

I thought once you were offered a job that they would tell you how to get clearance. Is there a way to speed this up and do it now?

Most of them want the fingerprints electronic. The VA if hired will send you paperwork to fill out.

I had my fingerprinting done at our local police station for $10. :) There is a website for VA clearance stuff that I had to go to and complete the forms, print them off and mail them to the VA.

It kind of sounded like you had to have worked - for a VA facility

to get clearance/background check. I work for an MTSO and do only VA work, but I don't recall signing an agreement for a background check, so I'm almost 100% sure I haven't had one. I tend to just read, sign, and go on though, and it would have been a non-issue for me, so I suppose I could have agreed and don't recall.

As for the Cyber Security and Privacy Policy training/certificates, you have to have a password given to you to even access those sites, so I don't think you could do that without already being employed by a VA-contracted company. I have to retake those every year with my company.

It was a long time ago when I last did VA, like 1992. - mrs.krabs

There were no background checks. Worked for a small transcription company. How bad is the dictation? Lots of ESL's? I found most of the doctors came over from the university hospital that I also transcribed for at the time. I just wonder if this is worth pursuing? I'm just needing part-time work. No benefits. How is the BOS Med-Rite/Crescendo platform to work on? I've got many pokers in the fire, just waiting to hear from someone.

I don't work for BOS, but - my accounts

have pretty good dictators. Some ESLs, but they are pretty easy to understand once you get used to them. Just depends on the account you get. My secondary account is appreciably harder to understand than my primary, and the weird thing is, how does it happen that an entire VA facility (almost) ALL talk fast, and ANOTHER entire VA facility talks at a normal speed? They're both in California, not far from each other...go figure.

Thought the suits might be interested to see "comparable wages" in my neck of the woods. Preferred familiarity with medical terminology. Demonstrates courtesy, attitude, respect and enthusiasm (C.A.R.E.) in all interactions.... $11.72 - $13.46 an hour Owing to disability and not being able to dig my car out of the driveway every day in winter, I cannot even apply for this.

I'm starting with a new company next week. My Windows 7 PC has Office 2013 Professional. The new company's platform is only compatible with 2010 or earlier. I don't have the money to spend on 2010, so I'll either have to decline the offer or try to find a way to install 2010 cheaply. I thought I might be able to download a version for free, since it's not the newest version, but it doesn't look like I can do that. Any ideas? ...

I'm a pretty new MT. I've only been working for about a year. I didn't know how little I was going to make when I trained for this--more or less minimum wage. If one were to research it even today on the Internet, they wouldn't know either by looking at government site Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to its site, the median wage in May,2012 is $34,020. That would make it about $18.00 hour, which I'm sure would make you all stop complaining. So has medical tran ...
