Agree...before working in MT I applied
Posted By: sm on 2006-04-06
In Reply to: Wow, in the non-MT world it can takes weeks to hear. nm - Some of you guys really need to calm down.
for a certain position and it was 3 months before I was called in to interview for it. I did not panic, nor did I call the company and bug them about it. I went on with my life. When they called, I went in and interviewed and was hired because I really wanted the job and the pay was excellent. Sometimes it just takes time.

I agree! I was very unhappy working for them.
You ought to get your resume polished up and look elsewhere. Lots of better MT positions out there!!
I agree - tired of working for nothing
Considering leaving the field all together
I agree...not all bad. Initially was very excited about working for them.
As far as the Shorthand program, I don't know - could just be my particular program. All I know is it cost me a lot of time adding in just the basics of what I needed.
Management couldn't have been better, and communication was there, but that only goes so far.
I was also off QA after a week, but I would rather not have been. I was pretty unsure about a lot of things regarding account specifics that were unclear, so I sent a lot of reports to QA anyway. For the most part QA was reasonable, but there were some things that I thought were not. Just one example that has stuck with me: The doc said, She gets her meds from (s/l) parcel (I thought, as in parcel post). Then I thought it might be a drugstore named Parcell/Parsell. I also thought it might be some type of state program where they paid for meds in part, as in partial. So I went searching account specs for parcel/partial, and didn't find anything - ended up leaving a blank. Well, when I got my QA back, I was told it was Parshall - it's on the account specs - and I should have found it. Lo and behold, it was there ok - on the cities list! After that, I wasted even more time searching account specifics, second-guessing myself, afraid I would miss something, fretting over the most minute things that had nothing to do with patient care whatsoever. I should have felt free to leave a blank after searching the first time and wait for QA feedback, but because of the example above, I didn't.
I finally got a grip and quit, and I'll never put myself in a position like that again.
Sure do agree with you WORKING women set a good example for kids and
SCHOOL and DAY CARE never replace a mother. A 2 person family with a stay at home mom does not make a great kid. I see messed up kids from stay at home families all the time, the wealthier they are sometimes, the more entitled and into alcohol and drugs the kids turn out. A child sees the mother providing for them and it makes them feel loved and secure. I do not want my daughter to be a stay at home mom. I was her to have a career and to always have confidence and to be able to support her family whether there is a husband or not. Not all husbands make enough to keep a family going. Some people are just very narrow minded.
I agree. I was thanked for working extra the end of last week and told of some MTs on my job type
who were out due to illness or vacation and that we were getting behind. Same as the message this morning....the minutes were building up. Seems things are a bit desperate at this point and we all just need to quit trying to read into the situation and pitch in and get the work back under control. OUR company needs OUR help, and we need to pitch in 200% or we may very well find ourselves without an account to work on. I don't think it was a threat this morning - I think it could happen.
I kinda agree. I enjoy working at TT, but this kind of "overkill" is why people sm
get tired of us talking so much on here. Every place I have ever worked has always paid early if the pay day fell on a holiday. Granted, they do not have to, and it is a nice and considerate thing to do, but hardly so much so as to make me want to burst into a chorus of Go Tell It On the Mountain. lol
Can I asked when you applied? I applied a few weeks ago
and never heard a word and I have over 16 years of experience. I applied because I got a recommendation from a friend of a friend who loves working there..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anymore details other than that. I'm all for even one positive at this point on this frustrating job search. Good luck to you though and check back with us to tell us how the interview went etc. Thanks
No. I applied, but I've applied SM
at a lot of places lately. I got an e-mail from a lady whose name starts with an M, but she didn't identify her company in the letter. She had my resume on the bottom of her e-mail, so I know it's someone I applied with, but I don't know which one!! LOL I'm thinking it's The Word Pros. Anyone else apply to The Word Pros and get an e-mail from M?
I'd love to hear information about them as well.
Just Me
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
working from home is awesome but working for DSG is not...
horrible dictators, sound quality is bad, no answers to emails and they run out of work consistently...that is just my experience though...
HUH? I just applied with them.
Thank you to all who applied.
Great responses and experiences. Thanks.:)
Thank you! I have applied but sm
haven't heard anything yet. Just curious.
Is that why you applied?
just applied
 Good luck to you. The test was easy. I did 100%. 
Just applied also and took
the tests. Hopefully this a good company. Still waiting to hear from Keystrokes..... For being desperate to find transcriptionists for their radiology accounts, they sure take a long time getting back to you!
No, I actually just applied there myself. nm

Anyone applied to JLG? Ad says they need 100 MTs. (sm)
I have to assume they are growing big time to need this many MTs added to their work force.
I can't find any recent info on this company. Any help appreciated.
Applied
I agree, there's nothing to lose. I already applied. As well as being an MT I also do insurance claims typing and it really isn't that hard. You just have to be able to type verbatim including um's and ah's. I get paid by the page now so to me it seems the pay may be actually better than what I'm getting now.
Anyone else applied to JLG? (sm)
Was told there were some changes and they would call and talk to me before the official offer letter was sent. The lady I interviewed/tested with was very pleasant and I am guessing very busy. Anyone else have input? I know I can't be the only one who applied.
Actually, I had never applied to them...
or even heard of them before I received the e-mail, and I have been happily employed for 6 years for the same company, so it is a mystery.
When I applied with TRS the -
recruiter couldn't even explain how pay rate was determined. He told me is personal life story, which I thought was very unprofessional. I found a job elsewhere.
I just applied
I just applied there myself. Do you know if the insurance is affordable there? They sound like they have good benefits from looking at their website.
I applied too
I haven't heard back and at first thought the pay was low. Then after I read the description of the work, it sounded too easy to get paid much more than that. Let me know if you hear back from them.. Thanks.
I must have applied to at least 20 of
the wrong companies as well - looked for about 6 months - IC or employee - didn't matter - 25+ years experience MTing and 5 QA, and best offer was about 8.75 cents...with huge daily requirements to hit that mark - one offer for IC at 10 cents which never materialized - company folded. Lots of 7 to 8 cents per line offers - several 6 cents per line - needless to say, I stayed with my day job! To me, the 10 cpl and 11 cpl offers are like unicorns - I have looked and looked, but never found one and am definitely thinking they are mythical. 
I applied....
for the pathology position. Never heard a word! I have 12 years pathology experience, so I know it wasn't because of lack of experience!
When I applied
They wanted this ridiculous itemization of where I worked as an IC over the past few years. Hello?
When I run into that type of red tape, I 'run'. (Because it's a sign of how they 'might' be if you were worked with them).
I don't have a problem providing a resume, and testing, but that was not enough to move the process along.
I have applied to several
I have usually always heard back. But I don't go by the job seekers board and found out who is advertizing for employment I just read the company board and apply to the company I find has the better reviews. It just seems to me that they are all always hiring.
I just applied also!
I have never heard of this company, but orthopedics is my favorite specialit7. Sounds like a new company to me.
I Applied
I applied with them over a week ago and never got any response. I have 7 years of MT experience which included dermatology, so I'm not sure why I never heard anything.
Have you applied?
Hi Little Bear,
Thank you. Believe me, I am thanking my lucky stars in heaven for this one. I needed the benefits so badly and they just seemed like a wonderful place to work. I will definitely let you know how it turns out. Have you applied there?
I got one too and just applied! sm
They said the list was from AHDI.
I just applied
and missed 2 on the test. I do not know if that is good or bad.
Anyone who applied
for the jobs posted recently by p.r.n. Transcription or Phoenix Medcom heard back from them yet? I applied the same day they posted the jobs, but have not heard back and yet I am a very well-qualified transcriptionist.
I applied but don't know anything either
/
We must have applied for the same job.
nm
I applied too.
I got the same 2 emails and was wondering the same thing. I am thinking it is a scam.
I applied for the ......sm
clinic ad when it first came out, and was offered a position yesterday for acute care TU-SAT, which I gladly accepted. I start training soon. This is my second time applying with them. You have 5 years experience over me in acute care so hopefully you will hear something soon. Good luck
I applied
I got a phone call a day later and talked to a real nice lady. She sent me an e-mail as well telling me more about SoftScript saying that they are adding 12 more accounts and are very busy. They said that I would need a WAV pedal which I do not have so I would have to invest in one because they do not supply that. I don't know how much money this entails. They claim to keep work here in the U.S.
I have read on this board that SoftScript has a picky QA staff. I am not sure that is a bad thing, it can be but not always. If I am doing something wrong, I want to know so I can stop.
I myself am definitely going to keep SoftScript in mind but I had applied to 1 more I have not heard from yet. I will give them a few more days and make a decision then.
Okay, thanks. I had applied and now sm
have three other offers but was trying to hold out until I heard something from this company. I guess they don't need the help as ASAP as their ad would imply.
Just applied to MDI...sm
and got a response that they are hiring for night, evening, and weekend positions - not what I was looking for - so maybe everyone is trying the same thing, to only work days. I am running out of work as a hospital employee. It's very frustrating, so instead of waiting for work there, I am trying to accrue more IC accounts and going off on my own...at least then I can dictate my own hours. Thanks for the info!
applied
sent resume never heard assumed that I didn't have what they wanted, although they seemed to be looking for everything.

I just applied with KS and sm
received a very nice e-mail from them on January 22 that said they absolutely DONOT hire part-time MTs.
I also applied there
took the test, did amazing according to the person on the transcription part, missed 1 also on the written, but then they would not accept my schedule. GO FIGURE. Tired of trying.
Where have you all applied?
It is crazy how they treat us. I was applying like crazy last summer and gave up. The stress involved was horrible.
I do believe that the companies have A LOT of applicants lately and the only way to get noticed is to keep e-mailing or calling them.
I guess it is the nature of the beast.

No, I never even applied with them
I got a job at another company right away. Honestly, I never even finished the program. I got most of the way through it and then I had to find income and pay my mortgage. I got lucky enough to find the first company I worked for. It was good experience, pay was peanuts, and God bless my mother who loaned me some $$ to actually pay the bills.
I just applied, thank you nm!!!!!
skdjaslfkdj
I applied too...sm
have many years of hem/onc experience, but no call back as of yet either. Let's hope we hear something soon!
when I applied to them..
They sent me a breakdown of how they pay, and it is really bad, folks. I guess they figure it is Christ-like to work for low wages.
