On my Trans Tech application should I fill in favorite work types and favorite specialities or leave blank or put any?

TransTech Appl - Good luck -- be better off NOT to put any favorite

If you do, and get the work types you love -- you will be a "fav" of someone at TT, because we are ALL supposed to get jobs downloaded to us as oldest and highest priority (of course, priority of jobs can be changed in the flip of a coin by those who have authority to do so . . . leads, etc.) TT's work is now 95% to 99% VR editing at LOW line rate and stumbling, fumbling, eating, talking ESL dictators. Very difficult to make a decent paycheck anymore. However, I would imagine that all MTSO's are the same, so . . . When I was hired on a few years ago, I was quoted by HR that there was only 35% ESL's -- what a joke!!!!

Anyway, good luck with TT and VR.

I just wish TT would quit hiring so that we "old faithful MT's" could get some of the "better" dictators -- but those are "tossed" to the new MT's, and that has been a constant for the past year. The faithful MT's get the trash that they do not want the new MT to know about right off the bat!

You will really enjoy TT and doing your fav work types!

Any other opinions? - dm

I would really appreciate any other opinions. They have this on the application and I don't know whether to respond to it or not. It's not a required field.

I was asked that both on the application and during the phone interview and I answered honestly and named my favorite specialty. As it turns out, they had a huge account in that particular specialty and I was placed there. I was not "spoon fed" easy dictators and, after 2 years on that same account, am still not "favored" or "spoon fed" anything. I do each and every dictator, whether a substandard dictator, a barely-intelligible ESL, or a great dictator. The platform automatically prioritizes the jobs appropriately and I receive what I receive in the order of priority. About 50% of the dictators suck and about 40% are good; maybe 10% are what I would term "great" dictators with minimal editing required.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for your positive post! I wish more people on here would be positive.nm - dee

Hi there fellow TT MTs:) Do any of you ever have trouble with QA at TT. Lately, I have been afraid to send anything in for correction, particularly 1 person, who dissects my reports down to crossing my Ts and dotting my Is. I know she is probably just doing her job well, and I know being in QA is a hard job, but this is getting depressing. I am not a newbie by any means, and I know my job well. Not criticizing here, just a little perplexed I guess. Thanks everyone! ...

I started a new thread because I noticed your question about TransTech waaaay down at the bottom of the page and with no responses yet, so here goes... In my personal experience, nothing has changed from the older posts. Even today, I have 4 accounts and I'm currently waiting for work to come into my queue. If you can get in with TransTech as a favorite, you can make BIG money doing 98% OP notes (about 30,000 lines per pay period). But, if you're just a regular, ...

Usually there are lots of posts here about TT. Just wondering what is going on now. I was hired and supposed to start work there, but could not work with satellite. For some reason, the EditScript would not come up. So I got rid of satellite and had Verizon Wireless installed. So far this is working pretty good. Much better than satellite -- knock on wood. Hopefully I can start working again. ...

I've been with TT for about 6 years but was recently offered an in house job at 4x the pay and really great benefits. I have to say I really enjoyed working for TT other than the times of low volume and I would recommend them.

I was recently hired by Transtech, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

AT 4.5 cpl for VR, the last thing I need is long periods of no work. Anyone with experience with them? ...

some part-timers anyway, why not offer weekends to part-timers and offer some Mon-Fri shifts for the experienced full-time MTs you're trying to get..... That's about the only way you're going to get many experienced quality MTs. And there are always plenty of MTs looking for part-time weekend work as a 2nd job. ...
