so maybe they were inundated and their system broke down or something and you were not required to test?

I actually submitted my resume - sm
And heard back within 10 minutes via telephone. With 1 little one not in school yet, flexibility is the most important thing to me right now. I think they sound great!
Never heard of it, but submitted a resume.
I submitted my resume thinking they represented
companies who didn't want to post on the boards and that I could get a better line rate. They represented one company to me that advertises here all the time. I had already been offered a position with this company and turned it down, which I told TM about and they said well they sometimes can get a better rate, but they didn't. Their testing was a joke. I didn't test with owner, but with an airhead. After turning down the offer a second time I never heard from them. Going through TM just requires an additional interview and an additional test, as you still have to interview/test with the company. I submitted my resume and within 2 days had interviewed and been contacted by the company they were recruiting for.
Has anyone heard from this company that submitted a resume?

Submitted resume 9/28 late at night. Received email today. nm

wow, i was never told about required textbooks, only that i could test in 6 months too.

Did you take the test? Resume with no SM
test may not get the attention resume with test does.
My resume was just accepted and test sent
and info said $12 to $15 depending on test results - and apparently I bombed on the test... I'm a little stunned to be honest... I'm not cocky but I double checked my answers - wondering if it was timed? If so I definitely timed out.
Sent in my resume on Thurs, did their test over the weekend
I know it takes a while. I'm just itching for a change.
I sent my resume, but never got the password via email to take the test, did you? nm

If you fax a resume and/or test files do you follow with an email the next day?
Just curious what others do.
How long does it take TransHealth to get back to someone when you send a resume? I sent a resume

I was contacted the day after I submitted...sm
my resume by one recruiter with a couple of questions about my experience with ESLs and operative reports, then received another e-mail from a different recruiter the following day to schedule the formal interview.
I submitted mine
on 9/30 and haven't heard back yet.
Nevermind...already submitted. nm

Has anyone gotten a job from any company not posting regularly from their resume in the resume
s
Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

OMG! Did you see that pic she submitted that time to the newsletter
of all shapes,sizes . . . .
classy
email again just stating you submitted
your resume about 10 days ago and have not heard anything as of yet for testing. They will get back to you very shortly then.
How long from the time you submitted
your resume until they called you?
I just submitted an application to them. Can you give details? nm

Moderator, respectfully submitted, I disagree with you
I am not trying to be this way but I know for a fact I asked before about my other company and it was answered. Since when asking who does so and so work become a privacy issue? If this is the case, every single person that talks about an X, Y or Z business should not be allowed then. Some of the companies are talked about really bad and I do not see their posts coming off or being censored as mine earlier- I did not talk bad language, only asking a question that should have been allowed to stay and not have parts taken out. This is just wrong. I really need no followup on this.
Paid twice a month, with invoices submitted on the 16th and the 1st. sm
Until now, there was no set pay date, but an email today stated that the funds wold be released within 5 business days, and they are working on having it done within 3 days.
Regardless, it is still quicker than any place else I have been paid. At another place, the pay period ends the same, but I am not paid until the 8th and the 23rd, and then it is by check, not direct deposit (Cardioscribes pays via direct deposit.)
At my full time job, the pay period ends on Sunday at midinght, and I am not paid until a week later on Monday.
So, even though it is a bit different not having a specific date to call payday, I still am paid quickly and have no issues with it, but then again, I only work part-time. The people there are great, and it is cardiology clinic work, so it is a nice change of pace for me compared to acute care.
Hope this helps.
I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
Just took the test myself. No actual dictation to transcribe. Just a written test.
For 13 cpl, I might do it if the dictators aren't a total horror.
I just took the test today - thought it was a great test of MT skills.

There is no written test. Must have been a different company. I took their ortho test sm
and it was easy. You had to know your terminology but it was easy to understand AND I used my foot pedal.
Is the test through mttest.com a timed test? Thanks. nm
if it says *required* and you want the gig....nm
You are required to
use their computer. I wanted to use my own, but they said it's easier for them to provide technical support if everything is uniform and everyone has the same hardware/software. IMO, the pay is above average compared to what I was offered from other companies. They also review you yearly for a possible raise and give a bonus on your anniversary. The benefits were extremely affordable. HTH
Unless you are FT and required to
make up your time then take the day off. They cannot force you to work if you are scheduled off, unless it is the Q and they will not let you take PTO and you have to have your hours/lines in. The only thing is if you work on production, then your check is improved from having no work through the week. If you can afford it, take it off.
If you are doing all that is required, i.e.,
making your line counts and working your scheduled hours, I would just ignore then. Worrying is not going to change anything. When they direct something at you specifically, then talk to them about it.
Why would we be required
To disclose any and every employer we have ever worked for when we have done so as an independent contractor? This is always something that I have wondered. As an IC, aren't we free to come any go as we chose? Aren't we in business for ourselves? This is where a lot of MTSOs have it wrong.
Do we go to the plumber or guy installing our satellite and ask him to disclose any and every individual he has ever done work for? No, we don't. I'm sure he'd be happy to provide references though!
I don't list anyone that I've worked for (unless I have done so as an employee). What does this information matter to an MTSO? If they hold up to their end of the bargain and I am a good MT for them and test well, what should my work history matter? ESPECIALLY in this industry. If I'm asked for reference, that's one thing. If I'm asked to disclose every single company I have worked for..that is another.
Don't get me wrong, I haven't job hopped without GOOD reason. However, I have worked for companies p.r.n. I have worked for companies for a couple of months only to find out the owner is the one with the issues. I have worked for companies where everything was going fine, but unfortunately I can't put my bills on hold for them to decide to pay me...three months later. I have worked for companies who promised this or that, only to have junk thrown at me consistently when they find out I am capable of doing the junk that their other MTs can't and getting paid 7 cpl to do so. I have also worked for the 24 hour FLEXIBLE companies who then decide that because people aren't holding up to their end of the bargain...your flexibility is going out the door and you NOW have to let them know EXACTLY what time you are going to be working.
And, see, you can't win with the MTSOs looking for this information because if you were to go into details as to why you changed jobs in this period so much, you would be looked down on because you were negative about these companies. How fair is that? What is in the past is in the past.
And what is required to CASH IT !!!!
What does the accompanying letter with the check say. Anxious to know . . . surely could use my money now.
Set hrs always have been required of employees/and if SE they can only ask what
you aren't a contractor, you are an employee.
If they begin telling contractors what hours to work and clocking them in and out, they become EMPLOYEES and must be treated as such.
And believe me if they start treating me as an employee, they better start picking up a lot of my costs!!!!
I should have said that the accounts I am on have never required a
log. I keep one with the accession number to keep track of what I do but no one has ever asked me for it. I work on a RadNet account if that makes a difference.
Are you required to do weekends? sm
Do they have insurance or are they IC? What are their line requirements?
I think those required C-phone and
I hope they pay well to have to pay those types of expenses especially as an employee. C-phones are selling for $350.00 on ebay. hmmmmmmmmm
I was told PT required
500 lines a day. Do you know if that is the average over 2 weeks that you have to have or is it a strict 500/day?
I believe you are required to use their computer...
I was told this was for security reasons. One of the very few things I am unhappy with is not being able to have their software on my laptop so I could work when I'm out of town. But they have been really flexible with my schedule, not like MQ where you had to jump through every hoop imaginable just to change your schedule by an hour or two, so I manage without being able to be as mobile as I used to be. From the looks of what is going on at MQ, it is a small price to pay for peace of mind and a much less stressful life.
You're not required to .... SM
do the extra lines they ask for. I take it when I can and don't when I can't. I do 12000 to 14000 lines a payperiod and don't EVER work 8 hours a day....I think Keystrokes is a great company to work for.
If you are PT, I don't think you are required to make it up; FT MTs sm
are expected to make it up (if there is enough to do) during the same week (40 hours) so that it doesn't run into overtime. As for having enough to do - wow, my accounts are LOADED and have been since yesterday noon. We are doing some OT even.
Info required
Has anyone worked for Integrity, Venice, Timothy Olyphant? How are the accounts and how is the pay? Any info will be appreaciated. Thanks.
Required notice?
I am an Editor at Spheris. I am going to be resigning soon, however I don't want to leave Spheris on bad terms should I ever need them for a reference.
Does anyone know, is a 2 week notice considered adequate?
Excuse me, but we are required to use
zzzzz
I'm not required to use shorthand
I'm still using IT, and it works just fine. No one has told me any different, not even a hint of it. In fact, emails generally refer to both ShortHand and IT, because they know that both are being used per the MT preference.
I have done this and there is not that much training required
It is much easier than medical transcription. It does not take all of the specialized knowledge that we have to have and is a good option. Learning to work in their computer program is the most difficult part (not difficult at all.) Some companies might require the training on the steno tapes like the other person mentioned, but I would suspect that many do not. I always worked with audio files and that is where you make those corrections from. It is basically like the VR we do now only from a different program. I had to do a lot of name and medication verification. Of course the medication verification would be a breeze today and Google would even make the verification of the people's names much simplier. This is definitely a option for us if MT companies continue to outsource and ignore our specialized skills. I would recommend anyone unhappy to try it. Contact individual court reporters or local companies. I have family members in this field and would not hesitate to go back.
You will be required to work set hours.
:
No, weekends required, though I know they are looking for people who would want to.

Do you know how strict they are on their required experience? Thanks! nm

If you want to be hired, you gotta do what's required! nm
