Interview.. first one in 10+ years. So SCARED!!!!

Thought that after not having enough work for a couple years now and always chasing work, I'd now have a "real job" as an employee and wouldn't have to worry about a steady paycheck and paying the bills anymore. The reason I thought this was because at the interview and in their professional company emails, they use all the "real job" words: Shift, scheduled hours, overtime, PTO, benefits, etc. I felt relieved to finally have a "job." What a big bunch of BS! I was "hired" ...

There is much speculation about the field of transcription - how many of us actually plan to be here 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now. I realize that the field is going to change, which will contribute to your answer. Will there be enough transcriptionists/editors to fill the need in 5 years and in 10 years? Will the industry be forced out of offshoring because of taxes? Will there be a need even for editors if VR gets better? These are all unanswered questions, but my question is, what ...

with this company? I have read soooooo much here that scares me. Can a person pay rent, car note, insurance, utilities and still eat working for this company. I just got passed to this company after 30 years of MT and a salary of 60,000. I am quite aware after reading here that I will not make what I am used to, but can I SUPPORT MYSELF? ...

I work for a hospital that pays hourly and incentive. Nuance has been our overflow service - as of late, they are getting more work than us hospital employees. Work is being given to them in droves. Should I start getting concerned that my hospital is getting ready to ax us or ship us out to NuiSance? Good grief. Thanks for any input or stories you have. ...

as an MT with only my income. I live at a place where I don't have to pay any household bills right now. But I want to move out. It's not a good place for me to be living. I plan to get an apartment in about 5 months. I am just scared I won't be able to support myself. i can get an apartment for about $400 to 700 dollars. Along with groceries, cable/internet, and utilities, I'm just unsure. I guess I'm looking for advice/reasurance from MTs who support themselves ...

I want the newbies who come here and read the complaints and get scared about "what have I gotten myself into" to realize that not everyone is unhappy at MedQuist. Keep in mind that they have literally thousands of employees and only a handful come here to vent their unhappiness (which is fine, I understand, not everyone is going to be in an ideal situation). I think it very much depends on your circumstances as to how life will be at MQ. I was a new grad hire and once I ...

Started job searching...sick of company with low pay and inflexibility that is getting worse with time. Now that job offers/testing offers are pouring in I am getting cold feet. Don't want to jump from frying pan into fire. Anybody ever been through this? Words of advice? ...

Does anyone else get scared when they start? I'm shaking inside. Is it just me or is it normal? ...

Making myself sick. Recently got an audit and made a critical error dropping be down below the required 99. Worrying about whether I will keep my job. This is not normal to worry like this. Keeping my fingers crossed. ...

a nonMT job!! It is at WM. As much as I hated WM, if they give me a job and I can earn a straight, steady, hourly wage, I will be SO grateful. After being dumped on and treated like an idiot for 18+ years, I am almost out. I sure hope so. I need this so bad. ...

Has anyone else read this? Is it true that Nuance may get to buy Spheris? All their transcription is done in India .... so after dedicating 15 years of my career, it will all come to an end if Nuance takes over. http://ahdilounge.blogspot.com/2010/04/its-official-nuance-making-bid-for.html ...

I just went through training with a new company. They seem like very nice people. But I feel so overwhelmed with everything that we went through in training, in a way I've never felt before. I feel unprepared to do my job on my start date. (Thankfully, it's not today). I feel like I can log in, and that's it. My trainer just blazed through everything as if I knew what she was talking about, as if I had done it all before. Like I said, she was super, super nice. But I feel lik ...

I need to work 2 transcription jobs, but I'm kind of scared that I will burn out or get carpal tunnel from all the typing I would be doing. Any insight you can share? ...

So the second week of April I got my graduation certificate in the mail from At-Home Profession's Medical Transcription Program. I am excited, I am ready for some MT work. I have been applying to places online and have sent out introduction letters to 20 different clinics and doctors offices with my information and business cards. Most places that are looking for MT's on this website require at least 1 year of experience and I can understand that. I am a newbie and no one likes to carr ...

Lately, I've been getting legal notices mailed to my home from I believe the east coast somewhere informing me of a class action lawsuit against M*Modal and inviting me to joint if I have a claim. I don't think I have a claim, but then again with all the shady practices in this business, I'm not so sure. I'm just curious what the heck is going on. Anyone care to give me the lowdown? ...

I have an interview with MD-IT and wondered about some posts in the archives that are quite recent that stated there has been a lack of work and layoffs with no warning. I am wondering whether I should even bother interviewing. I am looking for a new job because of lack of work, not wanting to walk into another similar situation. Any thoughts? Thanks. ...

I encourage all MQ employees to register with this newspaper (link below)and voice your opinion of MedQuist. It is our chance to be heard and let the public hear the "other side" rather than the "rosy" talk of Mr. Davenport. http://www.tennessean.com/article/20110731/BUSINESS/307310032/MedQuist-tip-health-records-evolution?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE%7Cs ...

I also want to know how you feel about the way things have changed. You can either reply here or through my email Some questions: 1.

Hello, Does anyone have any helpful tips for me? I'm on my way to a job interview for transcription. I'm a former MT wanting to get back into it. I have experience, but haven't worked in the MT business for 1 year now. I do know I am the only person interviewing because the job isn't posted.

If you are an MT with 10 or more years experience (actually a requirement with 1 company), and you are testing and interviewing, consider this. When you do your research on a company that you are applying with, print all the negative posts such as "horrible platform, hardly ever any work, pay is slow, they offshored my account, VR problems, etc., etc." If you score perfectly on your test and have good recommendations, land an actual interview, we should address these concer ...
