A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I am asking for prayers and good thoughts concerning a possible job opportunity. I lost my job at the end of February (due to my own stupidity) and have been having a hard time finding work since. I have applied for unemployment, however, it is the process of being appealed right now, so basically, I am down to nil nothing as far as a cash flow is concerned.
At my age (56), I am too old to consider retraining for another career field and I was born slightly cerebral palsied, where straight typing is not really a problem; however, using the keyboard for voice recognition does make it difficult due to spasticity. I have consulted with an attorney regarding possibly getting disability and on Tuesday, was informed that the attorney would take my case.
To make a long story short, I applied online for a position as a medical transcriptionist for a hospital in the Miami area about two weeks ago. I received a call yesterday from a lady in human resources who explained to me that I would have to go in for training for a short period of time but then would be released to work from home (my home being 150 miles from Miami), but only having to come into the office once a month for meetings, etc. The hours and schedule are ideal as well as the pay.
I would ask any of you can to lift me up in your thoughts and prayers regarding this job because if I do not have to go on disability I would not. This hospital is a church-affilitated hospital and has an excellent reputation for patient care, so literally, it would be the place I would retiire from if I am offered a chance to go further in the process.
I His name, I thank you all.
