[Joelle]

hello all!

I am a real time reporter in Manhattan, New York, Trying to break in to the close captioing market. Been calling and emailing many, many places and cannot get info. all I am getting is at home CDs and kits. LLooking for a company that will train and hire. I called Vitac but asked me to call back in a few months.

Willing to go to any state, country

thanks, any info would be helpful

I took a four-month online captioning course taught by Judy Brentano.  I would recommend this course.

I remember when I went there, they told me everyone starts out on QVC or HSN -- don't remember which.   I think that would be fun!

This was many years ago, like I've stated.

I looked into this years ago, visited the Vitac center in a suburb of Pittsburg -- we're talking many years ago.  After my research, I feel that depositions are more profitable, but you can't go to a job in your PJs.  Just my two cents.
