Where are the good paying positions? - Oldoldmt


Posted: Jun 29, 2012

I did not spend 35 years doing transcription to take a job paying 5, 6 or 7 cpl.  I would rather be a greeter at Walmart than to sink this low.  What the devil is happening in the transcription world.  It seems like all MTSOs are going bonkers.

We don't have much choice anymore, and besides, Wal Mart doesn't have greeters anymore, at least not here. Heard they cut that out too!

Babysitting? - Alice

[ In Reply To ..]
When I was a teen, I was paid 50 cents per hour to babysit. At that time, the minimum wage was $1.60/hour. In my area of the country, which is very rural, the going rate for babysitting in the customer's home is $8.50/hour for one child, $10.00/hour for 2 children, and up. I just find this very interesting and somewhat inviting. I never would have thought that babysitters would earn more than minimum wage.

When you're an adult, it's called a nanny. With that title comes a pay increase. I have two friends who are nannies. One is paid $21.00/hr for two kids and the other is paid $18/hr for three kids, but the kids are all in school all day. The 21/hr one, accompanies the family on vacation (free for her), is also given paid vacation. If only I could tolerate kids! LOL!

there are still jobs - me

there are still jobs out there. go to google or something, and type home depot and there is this website that has everything including home depot. and somehow you get on ups jobs in your area and many other jobs that even if you are not qualified you may qualify for. keep hunting and hunting. get your neighborhood newspapers from your neighborhood store and look for jobs. there really are jobs that are not too bad, and you feel more free and probably get the same amount of money per month.

Left A Good Paying IC Job, Now Looking, But Have Some Questions.
Jun 03, 2011

I think I have been leading a bit of a sheltered life after reading some of the posts on this board lately.  Here's my situation.  I have worked IC for a local hospital for 5 years getting paid 0.15/line after leaving a 5 year position with MQ making 0.09/line.  There was a major contract dispute and all the ICs left including me.  Now I'm looking for another job.  I was called by Etransplus today and she offered this what I would call a tier type program. ...

CTL Positions Being Eliminated?
Nov 05, 2009

Heard a rumor that the CTL positions are being eliminated around the 15th.   Perhaps this is a question you should ask your CCMs/area directors?   Not sure if it is true but when asked specifically, it was not denied but there is something brewing around the 15th.   Seems like all CTLs will be moved to the MME positions and the CCMs will assume the CTL duties.  Sounds like another shake up at the Q which always happens around the holidays.  Wonder if ...

TRANSTECH AS YOU CAN SEE BY THEIR NEED OF HELP, NEED THE HELP BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE LEAVE.  THEY DO NOT SEND OUT QA STATS AS MOST PROFESSIONAL COMPANIES DO AND THEY ALSO DO NOT EVEN SEND E-MAILS FROM QA TELLING YOU WHAT YOU ARE DOING INCORRECTLY.  THEY JUST FIRE YOU.  DO NOT WORK FOR THEM.  THEY ARE NOT A FAIR COMPANY TO WORK FOR.  ...


Are There Any IC Positions With 24-hour TAT?
Jan 12, 2011

Can anyone give me information on companies who hire IC's with a 24-hour turn around time?  I want to get my work today and turn it in by a certain time the next day without having to work a schedule or in pools.  With everything else going on with these companies from low pay, heavy ESL's, and lack of work, I would at least like to have the flexibility of doing the work on MY time.  Thanks in advance.... ...


Transolutions Few Positions Available
Jun 02, 2011

When I spoke with the recruiter, it sounded like there were just a few positions available. Yet, another recruiting ad showed up on Tuesday evening at another major MT recruiting website. So, I'm wondering, is the recruiter using the old trick of sounding like I'd better jump and grab one of those "few" positions, or did a bunch of people who were already hired suddenly quit? I wonder why Transolutions has had so many recruiting ads lately. Again, I was told that there were only ...


TL Positions At Transcend
Jul 09, 2011

There are quite a few of these positions open and I am wondering if there is a high turn around for TLs because the extra money does not compensate enough for all the time required?  If you are or have been a TL there, I would like to hear your thoughts. ...


Are They All Editing Positions?
Jul 30, 2011

Just wandering if there are any employee positions that aren't just editing out there.  I feel like I am not growing as an MT doing nothing but editing.  Unless I choose to just edit and accept this is the new norm at 3 cents a line, eventually getting my own voice recognition software for the future for any accounts I want to get on my own. Any thoughts? I am wandering if this is something  I just need to hop onboard for.  Editing for nationals doesn't pay anything ...

Applying For Positions
Jul 21, 2013

Does anyone ever simply e-mail a resume to a company rather than completing the long, drawn out application they want filled out when you click the link to apply?  I have 30 years of experience and do not want to spend time filling in information about every job I have ever had and why I left, where I went to school, emergency contacts, etc on their application, only to never hear from the company and would prefer just to e-mail a resume with a cover letter.  Does anyone ever do this? ...


Are There Any True IC Positions?
Jul 22, 2013

I am looking for a true IC position where I can work when I am available due to being handicapped. I sometimes have some very bad days and can't get out of bed as a result of it and I keep losing jobs. I am also wondering if there are any companies that pay MTs what they're worth on VR. I feel like we do twice the work for less pay. It's a lot harder if you ask me, especially if you have an account full of doc's who suck at dictation and sound more like auctioneers than a do ...

What Happened To The MT Positions
Nov 30, 2013

What has happened to the MT jobs?  I can't even get anyone to return a message stating that they have no more openings or I just don't fit the position.  Every year I have worked holiday's and every minute of every day and in the middle of the night if needed and now nothing?  I am trying to find something with someone and you'd think I had leprosy. I have been doing nothing short of practically begging some of these places for jobs. I am disabled and have to w ...

It's been a really rough week.  I work in a MR dept.  There is so much favoritism & immaturity here.  I'm trying to get my CPC & eventually my RHIA.  Are there other coding positions in a normal hospital setting that are not in MR?  I think here they have a tumor registrar & some coders in the business office as well.  I just don't want to be in the environment I'm in right now. ...
