For all that expertise, speed and quality expected ... uh.

Why would we train (education-wise) to work for that, the constant upgrading of terms, maintaining for that. Can make more at Jack-in-Box and less stress and just touch a screen

Is this the same company that does the vascular ads? - with type brown, then type chair? nm

O^o

1000 lines per day? Are YOU kidding? sm - TMT

[ In Reply To ..]
1000 lines per day should be a drop in the hat to a real MT. That is 4 hours of work period.

Depends on what youre typing. All templates, 1000 lpd - is EZ. Straight typing, university hospital? Nuh-u

Still laughingâ�¦I was thinking the same thing when I read it. - LOL

I think it proves a point needed to be made.... - anon

Finally!!!!!!!! MTs are wising up and holding out for better pay!

Applied - And will take it

[ In Reply To ..]
If they so wish it. Some can be picky, some can't but thanks for trying to make the ones who DO need a job feel like dirt beneath your precious MT feet.

You either don' t get it, or you're the owner back for round 2. - Either way --

kinda sad.

Don't get what? - Your sad

[ In Reply To ..]
I have to work to live. Unless your gonna give me money just to protest this job ad that is OBVIOUSLY beneath you and your band of merry friends. Doubt it so don't try and be rude with your "Kinda sad" comments. Real sad for a person trying to make a living. I supose it wouln'd be sad for me to just give up and go on welfare right?

I would too...sm - mt

[ In Reply To ..]
For what it's worth, if I didn't have a job, I would apply for it too. You are not alone!

MTSOs are taking advantage of MTs out of a job. - Immoral, and SHOULD be illegal. nm

[ In Reply To ..]

Welfare would probably pay better than this MT job. - Buh-bye, Suit.

[ In Reply To ..]

Why would you want a job that won't pay your bills? - pretty strange

[ In Reply To ..]
Unless you're not the sole breadwinner, I can't see taking a job that pays less than minimum wage after you take out your own IC taxes and pay them in quarterly, with no benefits. You'd make more money scrubbing toilets! Guess you like working for free? That's not working to live - that's working to be exploited. Do the math.

So refuse it. - That is you.

[ In Reply To ..]
Why does everyone try and make their opinion the only rightone? If you don't want to do it DON'T. Let's see go clean crap or be at home working in the profession you chose? Hmmm, Seems to be a few knuckle heads involved here. I say, to the toilets with ya then. Have fun. Things come full circle. Not always will you be high on your horse and lets see your big plate of pride tastes for dinner since that is all you will have.

6-7 cpl is better than Zero, ...... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
people who advise you to reject this job and better go on welfare? What are they thinking? Then they complain that so many on welfare are "lazy freeloaders!

Good for you, maybe after a while you find a better paying job, at least you keep your skills sharp!

Sporadic paydays also an issue - low pay only one factor

[ In Reply To ..]
How do you "make a living" when you can't even count on getting paid on time? "USUALLY" paid on time leads to "usually" paying your bills on time, which slowly but surely ruins your credit rating and costs you in late fees and reconnect fees!

Thank you, that is what I mean. - Finally someone with work ethics.

[ In Reply To ..]
That is what I was saying. Too many people get on here and whine about low pay but let them whine about NO pay and see which direction they will go. I am not saying I would do ANYTHING for money but you have to have some to do anything. Problem is, seldom people paid what they think they are worth. Especially on this forum.

Bout time, too. We shoulda held out for decent pay - years ago. Still, better late than never! nm

When I first log onto MT Stars and go to Job seeker's board the last thing it shows is an ad for a radiology MT from towards the beginning of November.

Just checked out the job seeker's board and came across someone willing to work for 5 cents per 65-character line and 7 cents if the audio is poor quality. I just cannot believe someone would ADVERTISE or SELL themselves to work for such a low rate of pay, which probably would not even equal to minimum wage!!!!!! If you want to get screwed do not advertise, just go to work for a few of the national MTSOs that do not have a good reputation on this board!!!!!& ...

I see that Transtech is hiring once again for oncology. I would like to know if this account has enough work and what the percentage rate of straight transcription versus VR would be. Are there a lot of ESL dictators...don't mind some but really do not want to get stuck with 90%, so if you have any knowledge of this account, please let me hear everything you like or dislike, please. Also, what do they pay for a seasoned oncology transcriptionist, fair, low or hopefully bet ...

There's a posting by Blair's Transcription Services. First, I can't even find this "company" on the internet to verify it, and second, they're requiring the purchase of a C-phone. I'll admit, I didn't know what a C-phone was, so I looked it up. Those things are about $900 each!!! If they're wanting me to spend more money on an instrument to receive the dictation than I did on my fully-loaded computer, they need to offer a heck of a bette ...

Do you ever come to this website and see what you think would be the perfect job for you and then realize it has had over 100 views so far and think to yourself that you don't stand a chance if you apply because so many have probably already done so? Sometimes I feel like I need to stay on this website and refresh my screen every minute just to catch a break. How does one stand out and actually get these positions? Do you have to be among the first to reply? ...

Be careful of responding to the post by Mike Witkowski - a few years back he pulled this same type of thing with needing transcriptionists "right away" - the whole process was very shady and then he tells you that you don't meet his "requirements" after you transcribe a test.....just a head's up. ...

That was offering part-time acute care work for ICs. Almost immediately after I applied I received an email from them stating how interested they were in me and asked that I fill out their questionnaire. Only a one page deal so I started filling it out. Down at the bottom it asked what my salary requirements were and even though they posted up to 9.5 cpl I placed 10 to 11 cpl, taking into consideration 25 years experience and it is an IC position. The next portion of this ...

Anyone have any information about Metropolitan Psych Services? They have an ad on the Job Seeker’s Board. It says they are in New York. Goggling “Metropolitan Psych Services” comes up with nothing. But when you Google the listed Email address, it shows they had a similar ad on the Job Seeker’s Board in August of 2010 and claimed to be in New Jersey. Same Email address so I assume it is the same company, although no company name was listed in ...

Just like in these forums there are a few who dislike everything whether they like it or not. One job posted as "Easy OT and PT work" pays .08 for the GROSS line which is significantly higher than the character line. Are there people who don't know this? In other words you would be making the equivalent to .10 of .11 CPL on this job, yet 3 had to dislike it. What did you dislike about this? Don't you want to discourage low pay and encourage a job that ...

I was curious, so I just looked at the program for medical transcription on Kaplan's website to see what it was about. I was actually curious if they said anything about one being certified upon program completion. Oh my goodness - the program is an associate's degree program, 90 credit hours, at $371 per credit hour. The total cost of the program is $33, 390. That is criminal. Simply criminal. I guess the cost is so high because Kaplan is a private ...

I used to work for a company that had an annual Christmas layoff. It was almost a joke with those of us who had survived the latest round. Most companies have a budget. In bad times they tend to run out of money at the end of the year. It's rotten and shows poor planning, but nobody should be shocked when it happens. ...
