MQ must be testing like crazy to keep up with all of those who are leaving.

This question is asked at least once daily - see posting about half way down the page. It will depend on how busy HR is and which region they decide to put you in.

If this is what you want - I wish you luck. Hopefully it will work for you and you will get plenty of work.

Was wondering about all this testing myself. - jk

Doesn't say much for the company does it? I am just surprised the mass exodus didn't happen sooner--I left 2-1/2 years ago. What was once one of the best jobs I had had suddenly turned into the job from you-know-where. If I was still there now, don't know what I would do. Jobs aren't as plentiful or as well-paying as they were when I left. (had 3 job offers the 1st week I sent out resumes, all starting at 9-10 cpl)

Just got the call - offered 9 cpl Tier 3 - Be Happy!

If it don't work out, I'll just move my happy self right along to another company. It will be part-time to supplement my present job. They also offered me an extra 0.5 cents for working evening shift. It will be straight typing first, and I think after 30 or 60 days will be trained on ASR.

That is just not right. I worked for the Q for almost 12 years, - jk

Tier 3 the entire time, and got 2 raises. When I left I was making 0.0875 cpl. Maybe the higher cpl rate with even out when you sit around with NJA 80% of the time. Good luck. Just remember, even if you are PT, you have to work the # of hours per week you are required, even if the work is not during the hours you are scheduled.

Don't feel bad about the cpl - sm

This is my personal opinion only of course, but from what I have been observing, it seems that some of these companies are beginning to offer what sounds like a higher line rate just to get the MTs to accept the job.

And things are usually great for the first short period of time while they're training because it's almost always straight transcription.

But then, the new MT is transitioned over to the company's ASR and that's when the reality starts to set in with the lower pay rate and lower paychecks.

So really, I think some of these companies are beginning to offer what sounds like a pretty decent line rate, only because they know they won't really have to continue paying the MT at that rate for very long.

You are probably right. I got out before having to - work on ASR thank goodness. NM jk

congratulations - sm

on your job offer. That's a very good rate for part-time at MQ. The ASR may give you a shock with the reduction in cpl, but you can easily get more lines in with it.

Congratulations - nn

Welcome aboard. Like all companies, MQ is not perfect but I haven't found any out there that are 100%.

The 24 hours PT is a killer if you have another job, but can be done.

Good luck.

Same here, - Found a home at MQ

My mother finally talked me into trying MQ and I got hired 4 months ago at 9.5 cpl, Tier 3, night shift. I am very happy here, plenty of work with OT every weekend, pay has always been on time so far, and a wonderfull CCM and CTL. ASR sucks, but I am able to make the same if not a little more with it now. Big difference from my other company, who was always out of work and pay not always on time, and communication practically nonexistent.

The people still working here are posting that - sm

they don't have any work, so I don't understand why on earth they're hiring! Doesn't make any sense, unless their HR people just don't know when to stop......

Maybe a reason why MQ is still actively hiring - is because of this?

[ In Reply To ..]
Just playing devil's advocate here, but even with so many MTs with no work, maybe they're still hiring because they know that they're about to make some changes that will result in a lot of their current MTs leaving?

So possibly they're still actively hiring because they need to make sure they have enough MTs to compensate for any MTs who leave?

I don't know, but with MQ, anything is possible.

They made me an offer during the telephone interview. - sm

Here is the situation. I am currently going through an MT course, I am in the Beginning MT practicum and then I have Intermediate MT practicum to complete. When I originally signed up for the course, I signed up for the "complete course" (Intermediate was the final module) in order to receive my certification of completion. I have recently found out, quite by accident, that my school has now added 2 additional modules to complete the course for an additional charge of ...

From what I've read, the CCS exam sounds difficult and I'm curious if any Andrews grads passed the exam as soon as they were finished with the course. I guess really what I'm wondering is if the Andrews course prepares you enough to pass the CCS or is the course more geared toward the CPC. I'm in the research phase right now, deciding which coding course is the best one for me. I'm also still trying to understand the differences between all of the coding credentials, bu ...

As an MT, I avoid the phone like a hawk to everyone! Friends, family, and coworkers alike, during working hours and during non-working times as well. I HATE wasting my time talking on the phone period. To me, my time is valuable and equates to literally pennies on the line. Just wondering about how much communication you get from your MTSO and how much of it is actually pertinently top of the line necessary and/or how much can be weeded and cut out. Are you being micro-ma ...

I interviewed with Accentus after passing their testing. The interview seemed to go just fine.
