Anyone REALLY hiring - Mae

Posted: Oct 05, 2012

Are any decent MTSOs actually hiring ICs... and I mean IC in the traditional meaning of the word; not locked into some arbitrary schedule design, but a daily line committment. I have 10 years experience. The company I was working for no longer has the account I was working on. They have given me some pick up work here and there, but I can't live on $100 a week or less from odd jobs while they find something new and steady. They estimate it may take 60-90 days for that to happen. I feel like I am just sending my resume out to be in a pile of resumes that never even get opened. Anyone know of a company that is actually hiring. I have worked in many specialties, prefer clinic work, some ESL, some acute. I have not worked in cardiology or radiology. Any leads are appreciated. My friends keep saying go get my own contracts, but I do not have my own platform, which they don't seem to understand, and have no idea how to even begin getting my own contracts. I just want to work for some nice people. I keep hoping my company will find something soon, but I do not have the luxury of waiting too much longer.

Thanks!!

NEMT had nice people. Low pay and barely any work, but nice people.

Work outside of MT. - Suzy Q

Your story touched me. It is really hard working in our profession with no security ever. Have you even considered trying to work outside of home? I bet even working at Walmart would provide better pay and a more stable environment. Guess I am lucky in that I don't have to do this anymore. I live on Social Security now and use savings from a lifetime of MT work. It just breaks my heart to read these posts and how bad it is becoming for all of you. If I was much younger, I would really try to find something different -- surely there must be jobs you can do, which would pay better than $100 a week. How can you possibly live on that???

Hope to hear good news from you.

I am looking for other opportunities outside the home. My company is good and when they have work it is more than a fit wage. Just right now, they don't have anything for me. They have kept me in mind for any short term assignments, which is where the 100 per week comes in. They might have a few IMEs for me or an hour worth of dictation of overflow, but nothing consistent at the moment. My youngest has bipolar disorder and adhd and it is very hard to change her routines and I have found that caregivers rarely have patience with her and/or are hateful to her. At this point, I am looking into everything inside and outside the home, but I have to know that she will be taken care of. I keep crossing my fingers hoping that my MTSO will pick up a new account. They said as soon as they have work for me they will let me know. If I were in a better financial situation, I could sit back and wait for them to secure a new account, but sadly I just got acquainted with Dave Ramsey's teachings and don't have even step 1 completed yet. I am applying for everything that comes along even at a lower line rate than I have ever worked, but it is like they have so many responses to their ads they don't even get to them all. Its frustrating.

Agree, there are way too many unemployed or underemployed MTs - CTMT

This just started this year 2012. I mean I always could get a fast IC job once I tested. Now you don't even get offered a test. Look at the views on every job on here, sometimes its over a 1000! A job I had ended due to overhire July 1,2012 and I did get a couple responses but they all wanted weekend work on a schedule which is impossible for me, I mean I can jump on and off on the weekend but with a family and constant interruptions, I know its useless. I was lucky an old account of mine came back to life after it was outsourced to India, but they did a bad job, so its back for now. Sometimes there is no work during the day, so I have to work at night or weekends whenever the work is there. If this account goes away again, I think its time to hang it up, there is nothing really out there anymore. Most pay 8 cpl if your lucky to get straight typing anymore. If it were not for my husband who is the main breadwinner, I could not do this anymore. Its suits me now because we are down to 1 car, we are doing the Ramsey thing too, but claiming bankruptcy to get rid of the debt, we just have too much, going to start a clean slate and pay off the 1 vehicle we have, then save, then start on paying down our mortgage. If Obama gets reelected, probably no use is making such grand plans, as the economy will most likely collaspe at some point, just my opinion.

WTF is going on? I am no longer an MT, but I still care about a lot of people who are still TRYING to work at the Q.

I want to work a part time job to supplement my other part time job at Nuance because sometimes there is no work. I see an opening at TTS but when reviewing posts about TTS it sounds like a bad place to work with incompetent recruiters and managers. It seems 95% of the posts are bad regarding TTS. I am leery about working for a company that keeps advertising for help, especially if it isn't a large one like Nuance or MQ. Is this a good company where there is work or ...

Does any one know of a company that is TRULY hiring? The small company I worked for no longer has the account I was. They have nothing steady for me to do right now. Christmas is coming and I have 5 kids and everything is going wrong (septic tore up, car tore up, etc.). There are tons of posts for Nuance, Softscript, etc....

How is TTS (Transcription, Technology & Support) to work for as far as enough work, QA, and overall being a reputable company?

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. ...

I'm a bit confused with Keystrokes. The ad they have placed here indicates wanting 40 people for new accounts, etc. However, I just received an email about job openings for only 2 very heavy ESL 1-9 shifts. I don't understand why they would have this ad and yet only be sending info about only the 2 jobs. I'm in their DATABASE and am sent these emails according to what opens up. I have not received anything about these supposed 40 j ...

Is this just a scam so that employers don't have to pay benefits and employer taxes? I bet if there was an audit, most ICs and MTSOs would be in trouble for using that classification improperly, especially for the full-time positions. I even applied for a full-time secretarial job in a small law office recently, and was told I would be hired as a contractor with no benefits. I was stunned and declined. I need to check with the labor department to see if some of my concern ...

Does anybody know if Keystrokes is hiring? I haven't seen any ads here for a while. I wanted to put in a resume, but only if it would be actually looked at and not just thrown in a drawer. I sent one to Transcend only to be told no openings available, and I'm going on their list. I've been on this list for a few months now, despite the frequent job ads placed, and have yet to be notified about anything available. ...

I see ads for Medtrans all over the internet for all different cities and you go to their website and it seems they are pushing you to take their course and then they will hire you. I am just confused because I keep seeing the companies advertise for months, yet they seem to say "no" a lot. I have 12 yrs experience in acute care, radiology, and clinic, and it's amazing to me how for some reason it seems impossible to pass these tests. Is it just me? ...

I am surprised to see the job ad for TransTech on the Job Board here...I thought they didn't have enough work. There are two ads actually, one for acute care, the other for oncology.

Thanks for your help. ...

They only hire for 2nd shift and that is to do the leftover, picked-through work from 1st shift. There is no way to make good money going this, though they give you a month to get up to 135 lph, which at 8.5 cpl is a whopping 11.48/hour. During training, on the 2nd evening of work, this is how I got treated, getting the worst of the work. I do not get any job satisfaction in doing others' leftover work; it makes me feel li ...

I just posted this on the wrong board (Job Seekers, what an idiot I am). Anyway, I'll try again here. Does anyone know if the position FutureNet is hiring for is for an oncology account or acute care? I would like to apply but not sure I am qualified. I'm looking for hem/onc job. This is sort of confusing to me. I have never seen a company ask for acute care experience if it is for oncology transcription. Any information would be appreciated. ...
