On job board, TYPIST? Seriously? My

I have worked from home as an MT for about 10-1/2 years. Before that, I did word processing at a large law firm for 20 years. I've been trying to find a job recently, and having a VERY difficult time. Everybody wants experience I don't have. I tried at a couple factories, and even though they will hire housewives who have never held a job before, they won't hire an ex-typist to work in a factory. Also, I can't stand for 8 hours so they won't consider me for most assembl ...

"A computerized selloff possibly caused by a simple typographical error triggered one of the most turbulent days in Wall Street history..." We get blamed for everything else that goes wrong in business... might as well take the blame for the Stock Market, too. ...

I am trying to find out how to prioritize or pick and choose jobs in my queue. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks. Clw ...

I know that I had issues getting IT to recognize another platform but can not remember how it was done as it was so long ago. Any suggestions? ...

is it.. Board Certified or board certified ? ...

Sad we have to have a board to address this! I don't think anything is going to change no matter how much we complain. Making money is every MTSOS bottom line..... Transcription services are just following everyone else to India, etc. ...

I was looking at a board last night, don't remember which one, but it was here. There was a link to another job board, not MT Jobs. I need to now what it was. If anybody knows, please let me know. Thanks. ...

Has anyone found a decent keyboard to use with the new computer. I hate this one. I cannot feel the keys, because they are as flat as a pancake (if not flatter). I want to go out and buy one, but don't know what would be compatible....another Del keyboard? Please help. ...

It is so very frustrating! I type for a wound care clinic, and, of course, a great deal of the patients there are diabetic, as am I. About a year ago I learned from my diabetic teacher that a local supermarket chain pharmacy offers all diabetic supplies and meds for free, whether you are insured or not. At least once every couple of weeks I type a note in which the doctor says the patient hasn't been able to afford his/her diabetes medication or insulin, and they seem to ...

would appreciate updates of warnings, but I guess not. I will not post here again to warn anyone of anything. Sick of being trolled! ...

You see it periodically, OB, radiology, and something else but it's pretty clear the work will be OB. The test consists of 3 files (getting this from the ad) and you should finish it in less than 2 hours. 3 files? How long are the files? So, my real question is (the other two were thiinking out loud), does this ad get run periodically to clear out the backlog or is it really a legit job and why does it come up so often? It's not the exact same ad everytime ...

How do you search now on this new board? ...

I was able to get to the VR board only once and cannot get back. When I go that particular board nothing comes up now whereas it did at first. ...

Hi, I'm still trying to get accustomed to this interface. I can't find the search feature...? Is it staring me right in the face? Thanks! ...

This particular board, the New MTs board, is devoted to assisting the newcomers to this profession. It is here as a help, an assistance, a way to advise and mentor newbies. It is NOT a place to slam, discourage, handslap or pick fights between newbies and experienced MTs. We are not going to have an ongoing war or scuffles between the experienced MTs and the newbies or vice versa in regard to who should or should not be in this industry, who does a better job, who knows more, ...

I have been reading all of the posts especially the ones about grammar. Maybe I have not finished transcription school or even paid my dues as a seasoned "elder" (I hate that phrase--not being in my 20s myself), but I was one of the 70,000 that was laid off on black Monday back in January 2009. I was looking for a career that would (I thought) not be hurt by the economy as severely. I very much appreciate any advice my "more experienced" friends can give. Even with m ...

This is a very negative board. I see misery loves company. If you hate your life and your job, what are you doing here? Oh, maybe thats why you are here. Nothing to do but P and Moan? MTStars? Doesnt look like it. This board needs more positive people. ...

Obama announced a new tax break for every new employee hired will get a 5,000 tax break and up to 500,000 total for each company who hires new employees. My congressman is going to hear from tomrrow when I call his office. You all know how MQ loves to hire new employees and I sure hope they do not plan on getting rid of us old ones and if they do? I see ANOTHER lawsuit coming called age discrimination. ...

This might be a crazy question, but isn't Transcend big enough/has enough traffic on the Company Board that it would rate it's own board, like Medquist? ...

No matter how carefully I type the "code" to prove I'm a real person or whatever, it just keeps asking me to type it again and again, and won't accept it. ...

And one can only hope that VR will suffer a similar fate very, very soon! And in a not so nice way. Along with the MTSOs that have tried to foist this CRAP on us. JMHO, of course! ...

Just a suggestion but if there are so many people with complaints about companies or their MT careers, etc., instead of getting "bashed," deleted, or otherwise, why not make a forum just for complaints and opinions and leave the other boards to more respectful and intelligent conversations. Let's see if what I just posted doesn't prove my point. ...

I know payment depends on where you live and what all you are filing, but I'm curious, how much do you normally have to pay to have someone do your taxes? Last year it cost up $180. Just seems so high to me. ...

I think everyone should go to the link below from the SEC (written 8/19/2009) to read the general disagreements from a board member of MQ. This board member resigned because of quesitonable ethics, overall (mis)management and questionable financial dealings with CBay. After reading, rethink a career and future with MQ. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/884497/000095012309036850/w75438exv99w1.htm ...

I tried the swap yesterday. I put in to give up my shift on Friday, 4-9 as doing the Relay for Life walk that evening. It appeared to take as I had RECLAIM next to my shift instead of SWAP but when I went in today, it said SWAP again. It looked the same as it did before I put in to swap. When I looked on the SWAP board there were no shifts up for grabs and yesterday there were 2 on there??? I redid this again but cannot figure out why I had to redo it. I think it would be great if some ...

For some reason I have no schedule this week. Maybe I'm getting fired, but it would be nice if someone told me. I've had the same schedule for the past several years. Where is this swap board that we're supposed to check? I don't see it in TeamWork. Thanks, MT2 ...
