Posted: Mar 25, 2011

Has anyone heard of or done business with this company? They are offering employment after I take their "tests" and possibly purchase software or textbooks. Just wanted to make sure the company is on the up and up. Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.

If a company is requiring you to outlay money in order to work for them, keep looking. You get jobs in order to BE paid, not pay out.

DEFINITELY A SCAM ; delete any evidence of them from your computer and your mind - Good Luck

Not only are they DEFINITELY a scam, but I found 2 identical websites with different names; and there are probably many, many more. 


Transcription America


Healthcare Employment


These 2 websites are IDENTICAL, except for the name.  These people are so arrogant, that they actually use exactly the same Testimonials, and only change the salutation.   


On the Transcription America website, the testimonial starts:


Dear TA,
I wanted to "Thank You" for providing a professional training program. 


On the Healthcare Employment website, the testimonial starts:


Dear Colleague,
I wanted to "Thank You" for providing a professional training program. 


 


The sad part is that there are so many “match book” graduates out there desperately looking for a job – any job – that they fall victim to these scumbags because they either do not thoroughly research the company before they get sucked in or they have not found MTStars yet to clue them in on what the “real” world is like. 


Sometimes I wonder why these so-called schools do not warn their graduates about these types of scams.  How hard can it be to hand them a “things to watch out for while searching for a job” fact sheet with their final grades?


Boy, I really am starting to yearn for the “good-ol’-days” when you went to a building to interview and you knew exactly who you would be working for. 


Off my soap box now.


Good luck to you.

Has anyone else answered ads for them.  You do a really EASY test. They offer to train you for free..  then send you emails... basically to schedule a job interview.  You text them.  They send you this agreement, which says that in order to work for them you need to plunk out $450 to buy their software.. This does not quite seem on the level to me.. I have been working in this industry going on 20 years.  I work in house right now..  but job situation is precariou ...

Changing To Something Besides Healthcare
May 20, 2012

Well, I've done it -- I've changed to something else for work other than anything in healthcare. I was an MT for many years, and I can't see any future for decent earnings, benefits or growth unless a person wants to be in direct patient care -- if they can even break into it after all of the hard work to earn another degree. I do have a university degree and changed to a job that pertains to that degree. I have seen many organizations go to Epic, which is an excellent system by t ...
