Although I work for Spheris/Medquist right now, SoftScript called me today and wanted to know if I wanted to work for them. I had applied with them before being hired by Spheris. They assured me they DO have work right now. ...
My plan was to retire PT and work PT, however, I was told MModal is no longer allowing employees to go PT only if you are grandfathered in. Yet, today I see on MTJobs MModal is looking for PT workers. If I do not go PT, I will lose quite a bit of money monthly from SS retirement. I also was told we are only allowed to take 3 sick days a year. ...
I've been an IC for 10 years with the same company. Made excellent money working only part time. This company has now lost a lot of accounts and work has slowed to almost nothing (had no work so far today). Now I'm looking into getting a job through one of these national companies and have been reading the posts made here and have sent my resume to a couple places. I feel shell-shocked with all the questions. Can anyone tell me what these na ...
We now have a Job Wanted board available. This is a board for you to make confidential posts that list what you are looking for in your job search.
There are many ways to use the Job Wanted board. There are also safe practices you, as posters, should take for professional security.
Posters responding to your job-wanted ad can be recruiters, facilities, any business wanting to respond to you. Other fellow posters (MTs) can also make suggestions about companies ...
I was just wondering if anybody has gotten a response from a company yet? I am on there and I have not heard a thing. If this is not in the right spot, I am not sure exactly where to post this! ...
Thank you to all of you who have gotten in touch. I really loved working with each and every one of you and your support and concern is so truly appreciated! But you know what? Honestly, I am looking at this as a blessing in disguise. I would not want to work for a company that constantly lies to its employees and has no regard for anything other than their own pockets. Please keep in touch. You can all still contact me at tpkj05@yahoo.com or ca ...
I just started this new job 2 weeks ago working for a plastic surgeon. Now trying to build my reference book library. What books would you recommend? I know I need a PDR...I'm having trouble deciding which one would be best. I also am needing a good Plastic/Cosmetic surgery reference book.....any recommendations?
Thanks in advance for your help. ...
An hour or two ago, I had a word question and put it on the word board and within a matter of five minutes, someone posted the answer.
I know we all have our own opinions and experiences but I am an MT with 20 plus years of experience and my mind just went blank on this word. Well, I was glad this fellow MT helped me out, so I did not have to send this to QA. I looked up the word again myself just to be certain not that I doubted this other MT and then I took a minute to thank ...
Hey all, I'm seriously thinking about dropping MQ and transcription in general as the outlook looks grim. I was thinking of going to school as a pharmacist. If anybody knows what such job is like and can give me their opinion and maybe some encouragement to make such a move, I would appreciate it. TIA! ...
your job-hunting results. There are a lot of people with 10-20+ years' experience seeking work. I'm in the same boat. My experience so far has been that NOBODY is interested in hiring older, highly-experienced MTs. Any of you starting to feel that vibe?
So I'd be interested to know what sort of results you get from the Jobs Wanted board. When you truthfully state your many years of experience, are you getting any offers? Are they willing to com ...
I am curious if anyone who has posted on the Job Wanted Board if you have actually had anyone contact you regarding your experience. I am wondering if companies actually look at this or are other MTs seeing who their competition is . . . Just curious.
thanks ...
I'm totally getting burned out at MQ. If it's not the NJA with requests to change schedule, then it's the lack of primary and getting other unknown accounts slowing me down. I've gone from full-time at MQ down to working part-time with another part-time job to make up lost income now for the past 7 months.
When I started MT'ing so many years ago, the pay was great and being able to set my own schedule was a real plus as well. It was the ...
Just curious...has anyone ever gotten a job from their posting on the job wanted board? There seem to be many Mts looking for work. It would be interesting to know how many MTs have work that want to work. ...
If I wanted to warn potential applicants about a company (or in particular, the one person from *** who is allowed to make life miserable for the transcriptionist) that I see is advertising for positions (again) , would be that be an ethical thing to do? I would not want anybody to go through what myself and 3 others have been through. ...
Hi all. Can anyone tell me what the scenario is nowdays with MQ QA/editors? Do they still have just QA or is it QA combined with transcription? Do they pay per hour and can anyone tell me approximately how much? Thanks in advance. ...
I have a client who is requesting electronic signatures. Is there a software someone can recommend? Who does this and how do you do it? Any help/advice is appreciated! ...
This Asian doc is dictating an EEG report. He says: "There is high amplitude delta [probably waves/activity] that is associated with s/l clef seizure or right arm movements." I can't find what type of seizure this might be. I suppose it could even be "left" seizure, but I'm not sure. Anyone with EEG experience who'd care to share?? ...
I just received an email stating Transcend would like to hire me and they are going to call me to go over a deal. Does anyone know anything about this company, are they good to work for? I figure anything has to be better than the Q. Thanks! ...
I see so much negative posted on this board, that I wanted to share my success, if for no other reason than to show others that it is possible to do well.
I had struggled for a while lately with production because of some personal circumstances, and having a hard time just getting myself in gear and being able to do what needed to be done.
I finally decided that I am the only one who can change my financial situation, and took the bull by the horns. I downloaded a stopwatch/timer ...
I posted on the Job Wanted Board. This morning I received an E-mail from "Ravindran" which said the following: i can help u, contact me. This smells fishy to me, and replied that the response was "very unprofessional". India, maybe? ...
