I just LOVE it when people don't get back to you. - Tara

I recently applied to this company out of NY State and the woman gave me some files to do. She said they looked great. She then asked me if I wouldn't mind working Monday and Tuesday evenings...I said yes, because I need a job. Well, the email I got back asking about the hours was Thursday, the 16th. I finally gave up and called her. Do you think she has returned my call? No! I don't know what to do at this point! So frustrated! Ugh! Thought I may get lucky!

My father just told me to forget everything! I think he's right. What's the point? I don't have enough experience...when I try to get it and someone sounds like they are interested in me, they tell me to do something, which I do, and then I never hear from them again! What is wrong with people? I don't understand!

how many files did you do? - hmmm

If it was more than just a few, and IF it was for current dates of service, it is possible you did her transcription for free. There are some unscroupuless people who will do things like this. I hope this is not the case, but please be aware so it doesn't happen to you again. I imagine it is very disheartening.

It was one continuous long file. There were not separate files. I have checked my answering machine, but no one has called me. I have emailed her but I have had no response. I am just going to delete the emails from her and pretend that this did not happen! I REALLY need a job!

here is what I do with someone - hmmm

I don't ever want to do business with (or apply to) again. Instead of deleting their information, I made a folder in my email account called "MT bad". It helps me to keep up with things over the years. I can check that folder to see if a current ad is a match to help remind myself why I don't want to deal with that person/business again.

Better luck with your job search!

Please email me the name of the company and person. NM - Moderator

Apparently the MQ mail was down most of the weekend, thus preventing the RTLs from sending their messages of high backlogs or late reports (while I don't consider 30 reports a high backlog that is a vent for another email). Tech knew the email was down and even posted a message on MQ Central, but apparently didn't let the RTLS or the CCMs know the MQ mail was down. When the emails started coming through finally this morning message after message from the RTLs and the CCM, e ...

I have been at home working full time for about a year. I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other. I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills. Do others have this same problem? It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others. This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...

A new ESL dictating a DS. Can't speed him up because he's too "new" (to this country?). He is spelling every other word!!!!!! AND then spells it again - extubated, e-x-t-u-b-a-t-e-d, extubated e for elephant, x for crosses, t for tom, u for umbrella, b for .......... get the picture (sigh)? On top of that, the report is 28 minutes long!!! Should never have gotten out of bed this morning. LOL I do feel bad for him that he doesn't realize he doesn't have to spell every other ...

Hello, I would like to transcribe from home again. However, I HAVE to get up and walk for a few minutes at least once an hour. You see, I had to have 2 back surgeries in the last 18 months. I've been a transcriptionist for many years and this is my profession. Does anyone have a suggestion what to tell these companies that will hire you to work from home when you have to get up so much? The last company I tried had a "pop-up" box that appeared on my screen if you were up longer than 10 min ...

Hey, I don't actually type that crap, ya know! I have way too much dignity to be associated with that garbage for the pittance they are paying. However, looking at the crap that VR produces that is included in patient records, I realized, hey, why bother proofreading??? Anything I produce with my old-fashioned, stone-age, luddite TRANSCRIPTION looks a heck of a lot better than anything I've seen VR produce. No one will notice any mistakes I might make. The ...

An email gets sent out around 4 a.m. stating there is a critical backlog and asking everyone to help out. The email shows the backlog, but it's really not that big. Says if you have hours to make up to do it today. This is at 4 a.m., when a lot of us are sleeping. Panic!! I log in for my regularly scheduled shift......and NJA! Thanks a lot MQ. Take work away from people that are scheduled to work just because you get a little panicky at 4 in the morning. ...

I love to be able to fill in blanks that people can't get and to help them. I wish I could give them detailed explainations so that they can understand the why of the error or resources I used to find it. However, because of the ridiculous pay and having to wade though ILP garbage (sorry, I don't enjoy helping them out), I'm only able to leave brief or even no messages to try to at least make what I did when being an MT. These messages come across as rude, nitpic ...

You have continually screwed me out of money every year since I've started here. You keep taking and I keep giving and I've about had enough. I know the 150 lph isn't that bad as I usually do that anyway....but seriously!!!! Is it too much to ask to be supplied with accounts that I am familiar w ...

I would absolutely love working for Nuance but for the fact that the work volumes are never consistent or reliable. I love my hours, my TS is awesome and I love my accounts. The benefits aren't great but I can work with what they offer. I wish they didn't practice over-hiring. ...

Imagine 8 hours of looking up "J. A. Smith" in phone books to write down his/her phone number. Then searching for the modifier for his second line. More like insurance work or accounting (even without the numbers) than language based work. I love the narrative of the reports I do, not the lab data. If my job were threatened, I would view it as an opportunity to learn to do something I really wanted to do, not just take the next career offered doomed for automation and overseas outsourcing. ...

For the last week and a half, all I have been doing is progress notes for some hospital that isn't even in my BoB. It is worse than watching paint dry, I swear. I'm so bored with these notes that I would rather just beat my head against the wall or pull each hair out one by one. Anything other than making one more keystroke! I want my primary back (I know there is work in it). I want to do my Op notes again! WTH!!!!!!!!! Sorry...had to vent. ...

Lately I have talked to many friends who are all disillusioned with their careers. The state of the economy has made it worse, but I really think the problems existed before that happened. They come from all walks of life and all occupations. Everyone seems to want out of whatever they are doing. The ones I have spoken to include teachers, attorneys, nurses, doctors, police officers and of course MTs. Anyone out there know someone with a great and (as stable a ...

So, I got this super long report with HORRIBLE audio. When I got finished it looked like a piece of Swiss cheese it had so many blanks. I didn't even CONSIDER sending it to QA as the audio was just terrible and there was NO way I was sending a report that long...and then get paid 3 cents a line because it might put me over 5% QA submission. So, I just sent it straight through, expecting to get a call from my CCM on why I sent so many blanks, which, of course I was prepared ...
