Any good MT jobs out there? - Sheila S.


Posted: Jan 30, 2015

All I ever seem to read here is how terrible the MT profession has become.  I agree that I am making less now than I was many years ago mostly since the majority of work has switched over to editing VR, which pays less.  

I just want to know, though, are there companies worth working for?

Started working for PHOENIX MEDCOM and it is heinous!! The head of QA is NASTY!! Supposed to train and "master" 5 docs before moving on, but there is never dictation from those docs! Maybe 3-4 jobs a day. Was told to "just keep checking" - of course not being paid to do so - and maybe those docs will dictate. What a joke!! If there is work, we are only allowed 5 reports a day, and even though we are "training" one mistake and you get yelled out, chastised, and never get off QA. It's a scam!

As I sit here for the 3rd day waiting on work... - I would say NO.. nm

No, and there haven't been any for the last - eight to ten years, now.

IF YOU'RE LUCKY, you MJGHT find a hospital or medical clinic MT job that will pay you a decent amount. Some still offer a livable hourly wage while working from home, but those are few and far between. If you can afford to do so, return to school for coding or or medical secretary/receptionist program. Those jobs seem to almost always be in demand. Good luck.

IC work? - Marge

Is there a reason you don't do IC work? I've still found jobs doing IC and the pay is pretty great. :) It sounds as if a company is the worst position as the pay is awful and time constraints of when/how you have to work. I'd just throw some feelers out there for work in your town or close that you can find. :)

Just Another Vent About Jobs, No Jobs, Requirement Of Jobs, Etc.
Aug 18, 2010

It is insulting to all of us with the way that MT pay has gone down the drain, it is frustrating and aggravating to look for a "decent" job these days, trying to work out which companies will treat you fairly, which ones lie about their platforms, work, etc., and not only do these companies not want to pay us what we are worth but now I see that MANY companies are requiring the MT to have or "be willing" to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment.  If an employer can PROMISE IN ...

2014 - Not A Good Year For This MT — But I Found A Good Fit (finally)
Jan 12, 2015

Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years). However, I realize that many other MTs may be in the same position, i.e., having many years devoted to working at the Big MTSOs including “the M,” and “the N” and (now to be included) “the T” following close behind in total numbers of MT/Editors on staff. (Hint: Sure most of you know the M, the N and the T - and the names have been int ...

Will We All Be Out Of Jobs?

These eScription, Nuance, EMR, etc. posts are all very sobering.  Does anybody think that we'll all be out of jobs in 5 years, 3 years???  and will we be cut loose quickly or slowly phased out?  given enough notice?? etc.??   I think I'm getting to the point where working in a grocery store is starting to look more and more appealing.  The thing that contradicts all this is that most of the companies constantly beg for extra work, higher production, consis ...


Once And For All - There Are No Jobs!

On almost every thread somebody mentions their finances are in dire straights.  And on almost every thread somebody whose life is just peachy demands to know why they "let" their finances get shaky and why they didn't just "get another job before things got so bad".  We are not sitting around just wringing our hands, as is so often implied.  Many of us have been applying, constantly, for months; with more entering the job search every day, the competition gets harder and hard ...

So, I am about to finish a medical transcription certificate program through a community college. I have started going through these boards and I am starting to get nervous about job possibilities.
