Medical Transcription - Will Train!

As a recruiter for Transam Associates, Inc., a national transcription service, I am seeking full-and part-time, home-based medical transcriptionists. We are committed to providing a work environment where medical transcriptionists can grow and be respected for the professionals they are.

If you are not yet qualified, we'll provide FREE training and a personal trainer that you'll need to become qualified. Once you meet our criteria, which will be defined for you before you begin, you will be certified by us as an accomplished medical transcriptionist and can begin to work for Transam Associates, Inc. Special software is required.

The pay is good. As an independent contractor, you'll work part-time and make -- probably less than five hundred dollars a month to start. But as you get more experience, you should earn $1,000 to $2,000 a month if you work about 20-30 hours a week. Some make $3,000-$4,000 full-time 40-48 hours a week (This does not happen overnight). If you want to work more, you'll earn more. If you want to work less, you'll earn less. The choice is yours.

We will provide to you a great working environment where you can make a difference. Our medical transcriptionists start as contractors and are eligible for raises. Whether or not you have experience, you can find rewarding work as a medical transcriptionist.

If you want to learn both hospital and clinical dictation, have good computer skills, are proficient in Microsoft Word and have the desire to work as a team player, please apply today by sending and email to employmentguide@transamassociates.com with your information.

Hi,


They don't have a good reputation with the bbb. I spoke with them on the phone and they claim they are trying to clean up their act however I wasn't convinced enough to move forward with it.


Chers

I had a friend that called the company, she is an transcriptionist and they told her that they train you but charge like 300+ for additional classes. She chose not to do it.


I hope this helps you.

I was told by the company that I would have to pay $257 or something like that for their software. I did some more research and was told by a few people that after they get your money they make it impossible to transcribe for them. Nothing is good enough, the audio is next to impossible to hear and you end up making nothing. HTH

I ran across this company a few months ago and ALMOST signed up.


I decided to do my homework on the company for a few weeks first. I didn't like what I found (not saying it's all true, but there's a lot of negative comments on the net about them).


I was so thankful to find the company I now represent. No more searching endlessly for a legitimate opportunity. I'm sure many of you feel this way! [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]
