The Proactive Pro

Good news for job seekers in the Philippines! The transcription company that I work for is in need of excellent Filipino transcribers for their Philippines-based work (Bilib sila sa Pinoy!). This is a home-based job.

Candidates should possess the following qualifications:

• Good grasp of English grammar and basic knowledge of the rules of punctuation and style.
• Good listening skills; should be familiar with the American accent.
• Typing speed should be at least 60 words per minute.
• Should be able to meet deadlines (Turn around time varies from 2 hours to 9 hours. Can be discussed with the supervisor).
• Experience is certainly an advantage but not a requirement.

Other requirements:

• Reliable Internet connection (DSL or broadband).
• Headset (even your MP3 player's earphones are okay as long as you can hear the sound files well.)
• Transcription foot pedal (If you don't have one, I could probably help you.)
• Transcription software. (You may download one for free from this site.)
  

I've been working for this company for almost two years now. The pay is good. I love my supervisors -- they are considerate, helpful and responsive.

If you're interested, all you have to do is send a cover letter and your updated resume to recruitmsp@gmail.com.

Best wishes!
