Can you be more specific? - Landmarker

What are you trying to find out?

Got another job offer. sm - frustrated

[ In Reply To ..]
I work for Landmark right now and am having trouble getting enough work. I haven't been there long enough to know whether this is a temporary problem or not. I like the work, just wish there was more of it.

I was offered a job with another company that I had applied to before signing on with Landmark. They weren't hiring back then and now they are. Their offer is for more money than I'm currently making, but I really hate to job hop and just wondered how it's going at LM for everyone else.

LANDMARK - NOT ENOUGH WORK

Take the job. I tried to work for Landmark for about six months. Was supposed to be full time, but never was. I took another job and offered to work for Landmark p.r.n., but there is never any work. They are great people, but they grossly overhire.

I think it depends on the account - Landmarker

My experience with them is very different in that I rarely run out of work, so I think it just really depends on the account that you are on. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

LANDMARK - NOT ENOUGH WORK

I glad you have a good amount of work with them. They truly are great people. This was the best thing for me. I am working locally for a small service (yes there are some left). The owner has no interest in being bought up and I am the happiest I have been in years!

I am doing very well at Landmark. I am the head of household and I have no problems meeting our bills at LM.

Knitter, your posts are partly why I..sm - frustrated

[ In Reply To ..]
chose to go with Landmark in the first place. I really don't want to leave because, like I said, I don't like to job hop and other than being out of work, I'm satisfied. Do you know what their policy is when you don't meet your daily production? Thanks.

Landmark - Part time - Requirements?

Does Landmark require a minimum number of hours/lines for part-time? If so, could you share please? Thanks :D

Are there any benefits with part-time? Thanks in advance.

Not that I am aware of, other than significant flexibility - Landmarker

[ In Reply To ..]
I work on a Bayscribe account. Landmark doesn't do time sheets. They just want to know how many lines you're going to do on any given day and they ask you to stick to that. The flexibility is really, really nice.

There are no other benefits that I am aware of for part timers.

Thank you. Flexibility would be great.

The appropriate way to handle this question is to discuss your situation with LM management. I am only an MT. They are very helpful and I am sure will assist you.

First off, I am truly disgusted with our government for allowing offshoring to such a degree that it has taken most of our jobs away. We have written and complained to no avail. We do need to do some things on our own too. I recently went shopping for my son's school supplies. I read the labels to make sure things were made in America. Ink pens: The only ink pens I found made in America were Pilot pens, BIC were made in China. I bought the Pilot pe ...

You're sitting here with a job waiting for you in your queue and you don't even CARE because you decide to watch a training/motivational video on changing careers to help you get the H311 out of this god-forsaken field. As God as my witness, I WILL be out of this company by year's end. I'd rather empty trash cans in the ladies' room than do this for even one more day and I've worked for this company for 16 years.

...the business model works well for them. They made their money off you before you even signed on. They made it 1) when they landed your previous facility's contract and 2) when you were gullible enough to sign on to help voice wreck unemploy yourselves. If they wanted you to stick around you'd be so overworked you could not stand it. Nothing new about any of this stuff except this appears to be the latest set of Nuance casualties. In another month there will be another new set when t ...

I noticed things starting to change at WMX when they bought that transcription company..what was it about 1 year or 2 ago.

Anyone care to shed some light on how things are at Transolutions these days? Is there plenty of work? Thinking about this company and would love to hear current input from employees. I have read the archives and saw that QA can be tough and M-Modal isn't the greatest software. I am working on M-Modal where I am now and it's not my favorite, but Transolutions at least pays more and I am hoping that they have more work than where I am now. ...

Thanks to all who replied. I wonder if my spellcheck is even turned on because the double words are not being caught. I have even wondered if the software is putting words in. I've been transcribing for many years but only started SR. I'm also worry that my brain is getting too old to spot discrepancies, yet in other areas of my life, errors jump out at me to the point of being almost an obsession. Otherwise, being with MQ has been fine. T ...
