Job lead -- Quest Diagnostics - searcher


Posted: Aug 14, 2014

There is a job on craigslist in my city for an MT job paying $17 an hour, part-time, Monday through Friday. Perhaps there is a Quest in your city or another lab that has an MT position. Just a small lead, but I thought I would share.

It is in-house - and all pathology

lab results. more data entry than transcription.

in house is not the end of the world - nm

In-house: $17/hour. At-home: 3 cents/line. - Its a no-brainer. :)

Never again will I work for an invisible employer.

didn't say it was the end - of the world

just stating that these jobs would have to be in YOUR specific area in order to be of any benefit to you. cannot commute to a state 3 states away from your home!!

Same one as near me, too. I applied. nm - why not

Thanks for the lead. I see ads from Lab - Corp. and Quest ... sm

Diagnostics in my area too for pathology MTs. However, the ads for pathology MTs in my area list transcription duties.

I also see Specimen Processor ads, and data entry is always included in their job description along with other tasks.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pathology background. :-( Again, thanks for posting the lead.

You might ask about the specifics - Val

I had a student who worked at one of those labs and specimen processor meant handling urine and scraping poop out of containers. She was NOT happy with the job. It was hardly "pathology."

I applied to my local Quest a few months ago for in-house MT job - sm

and was told I that they were pursuing more qualified applicants at this time (I have 16 years' experience).

Finally! I Have A Lead On A Non MT Job
Jun 22, 2012

I'm beyond thrilled!  I have a good lead on a non-MT job.  I have been promised multiple things and they have never happened.  No raise in many years.  Someone tell me again, what are the benefits of being an IC when you have to do the work of so many other people PLUS transcribe?  It's ridiculous.  Years ago, when I didn't have to do the work of others plus mine, I made SO much more money.  ...

Region Team Lead

Just read the MQ Central news about the pilot program for a new position called Region Team Lead (RTL).

It didn't really specify who will be doing PTO requests, etc. (unless I overlooked it) I'm glad I already requested Christmas off and it was granted! Thanks CTL! I'll miss you! ...

it's just not working out for me there.  I would rather have an IC position.  I have an interview with another company.  If I get it good, if not I will go substitute teach at the school...would prob make more money.  This fall I will be going back to college to get a BS in biology.  I will be out of this disappointing career as soon as I can.  What a waste of 2 years of my time to study medical transcription and the last 4 years trying to make money doing it. ...
