Will not apply for anymore jobs - anon

Posted: Oct 15, 2012

I've decided it is in my best interest to stop applying for jobs. This last one I thought I had a chance on dissolved very quickly and I have no clue. I took their test and I know I did well on it but they never contacted me even though they said after I took their test they reviewed it they wanted to talk to me about it. It has been very detrimental to me to take these rejections when I know I do well on the tests. I can't take it anymore. I get so angry and cry all the time. I'm not angry at myself just these people at the MTSOs that do this time after time. Hey I am a human being and I have feelings too. I desperately need a job like so many out there but can't take the misery anymore.

Don't just give up - RC

Try looking at other jobs, maybe?

I know it's disheartening, but I've had times when I've had to work other jobs which weren't so great, but at least I was working. Hell, I worked at Starbucks for a while and made the best of it.

ANY job is better than sitting home feeling like crap.

No more applications for these jobs. - anon

I have had rejection after rejection after rejection on these jobs. I have tried other jobs and they are all the same too with the rejections. I am thinking about getting on one recruiter's nerves after doing what she did to me. Hell, I feel like crap just about every day and I think it will be lessened without all the rejections. I think there comes a time when it is time to give up. If have a life to live without this you know what.

You said it....very true - wheres_my_job

even bad jobs "out there" are way better than being at home suffering by yourself.

I deserve better - anon

These people lead me to believe I could have a job with them and then nothing. This last experience I had is it!!! I go through deep depressions when I am rejected and can no longer put up with it. I realize there are some out there that take it in their stride and keep going but with medical transcription, I can no longer do that because it is very temporary at this point. I'm looking for a different type of job. At my age of 67, I can not longer put up with the low pay and stress for a job like this. I have put my time in of 30 years and I deserve better.

If I were you... - RC

At 67, I'd seriously go get a relaxing job that doesn't stress me out--far, far away from the disintegrating world of transcription. I'd rather work in a gift shop than be sweating over a company like Nuance every day.

I wish I had that option. I'm only 32 and have invested the last 12 years in this sinking ship. Now, what am I going to do for the next 30 years?

Well, I'll have to figure something out. In the meantime, I'm dreaming of the day when this industry is behind me. You're already there, revel in it!!

Anon, go to your local unemployment office. You very well may - qualify under federal retraining grants or

other resources they have to offer you.

Unemployment office? - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I've been going to my local workforce office for a long long time and there isn't much there. As far as government handouts, I don't want them and wouldn't even know how to get them.

Good for you. For others, our county is advertising - federal retraining programs.

[ In Reply To ..]
I've never taken a government handout either, but those are meant to keep people on the brink from falling, to pull others up before they fall further.

This way they can stay in their homes, instead of becoming homeless, and keep their transportation to and wardrobes for work, checking accounts, phone, etc. A very good thing for those who really need them, and a smart and civilized thing for all of us. So no one who's been paying in all these years and needs help now should hesitate to apply.

Have you thought about Social Security? sm - anon

At your stated age, you would be eligible for full SS benefits, plus you can still work. I believe if you are at full retirement age, there is no limit on your benefits, like it would be if you were below retirement age. You could then look for work that is not as stressful as MT and still have your monthly pension coming in. Maybe some part-time work that you enjoy? God bless you.

constantly checking my email, refreshing the browser, going through it to make sure that one has not come in "under the radar," hoping and praying for some kind of response from whatever company I have applied to. How pathetic is that!!!! Just a kind thank you very much but position has been filled or even an automated reply saying we received your email would help so much. With 22 years experience I keep hoping and praying that someone will hire me, pay me above minimum wage a ...

Or do I just need to bite the bullet and start doing VR? My job is straight typing 9-5 M-F! Perfect right? Not anymore. I'm an eTransplus employee and the big shot MQ bought them out, so I can either go to work for them or I can look at other jobs with other companies. I doubt there are any straight typing jobs left right? If so, they will probably switch over soon huh? Would like to know if anyone is doing ok on VR with the company you're wit ...

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 ...

Both times I got emails telling me it was working. Tried again and no luck. Am I on the right page, the one with the hideous orange splash, the same one we use to find our stats?

I just got an e-mail from a recruiter from Nuance asking me if I would like to apply for a job; i.e. they took over my former place of employment's transcription department and I had originally applied so I could stay on, but then decided not to-thus they still had my contact info. The recruiter said that they had merged with Transcend and that there was plenty of work, etc. I do need a job as my unemployment benefits will be running out by the beginning of the new year, or sooner if phas ...

Just want to be sure my fellow MTs are well informed. If you apply at Teletrak, be prepared to be offered 8 cpl for 65 VBC line - this amounts to approximately 30% reduction in pay with the negative spaces. I used several old reports and figured line counts all ways and it was almost 30% less each time with VBC. I was told by the recruiter, "You'll probably have to work a few extra hours a day to make what you're used to, but in order to keep the client in a long-term ...

I would totally be leery of this job. They are liars and cheats and are always wanting you to work your days off and over, but pay you NO OVERTIME!!

They have no respect for their employees. I WOULD NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY. THE REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES......... ...

besides the resume do you add--how much selling of your skill, etc? Some companies won't open an attachment, so I get the feeling they don't want much more. My feeling is if they see the resume and want more info they will contact me, but never sure. Thanks for any insight. ...

Working at .075 cpl for ScribeRight I made a whopping 12K in 2009. Wow - let's all run out and take MT classes to jump on that bandwagon. Anyway, I quit my MTSO pimp and went to work for a well-known Italian restaurant chain in 2010. I work in the kitchen 6 hours a day for 5 days a week (Mon-Fri lunch shift with no nighttime or weekend shifts) and make about 15% more than I did as an MT. I am not an IC anymore but rather an employee, so I saved a bunch on my social ...

My bubble has been burst. I was with eTransPlus when the Q swallowed them up and then I left. Now, I'm with another MTSO and it's awful. I've only been MTing for 5 years. I was an office nurse (LPN) for 13 years before that and I wanted a change. My first job was with a great company and then the huge acct I was on was bought out by an MTSO, so I had the choice of being laid off or going to IC status. I chose to be laid off thinking I could draw ...
