I also love the one-liner emails that just say can you tell me about the job? I put everything in my ads that an MT needs to know and if someone won't take the time to even read the ad, I know the attention to detail is not going to be there. Also, if I post 3-5 years of experience, that doesn't mean I will accept 6 months because you list I type fast. Keep the resume short and to the point as well. I do not have time to read through a 10-page resume that tells me your children's names and what activities you are involved in with them, how many pets you have, etc. Be specific, provide the full name of the company and the contact information. I am wary if I get a list of employers without contacts and then the provided reference list only lists personal references. We aren't going to contact every employer on the list, especially your present employer, until we know more about you and you have tested, etc.
Regarding testing, don't you just love the excuses people give for not completing the test? My favorite ones are:
1. My power went out.
2. My phone went out.
3. My 2-year-old spilled Coke into my keyboard.
4. You misrepresented the test and didn't tell me there would be foreign doctors.
5. Don't you have any other files you can test me on? These are hard.
6. I fell and hurt my wrist/arm/leg/head.

amen sista!
I, too, edit India reports and day after day correct their errors that definitely would have had me fired in the blink of any eye. For instance, one error was Patient is a wheechair. It should have actually been: Patient is a realtor. This isn't an isolated incident, but happens report after report after report. These reports have already gone to the hospital and are corrected after the fact. With the advent of electronic signature, docs do not read their reports anymore, and do not realize the danger they are in should they end up in court. I doubt you'll see an Indian MT/editor/manager around to take responsibility for the error. In this day and age, I don't even think I'd want to be a doctor unless I KNEW FOR A FACT where my dictation was being transcribed.
Amen to that, sista!
I like my time off too!
Amen Sista!
Especially in this business. Never, ever seen so many witches with bad itches. Thank goodness I'm no longer in this crap hole of a profession. My regrets go to each and every one of you. Send the crap to India, who cares, they can have it!
Amen, Sista, that is what I was
trying to say. When I'm knocking down about $800 in a week and I'm part-time, I find absolutely nothing to complain about!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that I'm not bothered with 100 or so stupid emails from all levels of management every day as some companies do. Just give me the work and leave me alone to do it and I'm a happy camper.
Amen, sista!
I'm not going to start a ruckus by saying what I think of most, NOT ALL, of the QA people these days, especially those with the useless CMT initials. No jealousy here...BTDT, I quit with that nonsense when the AAMT, or whatever they call themselves now, quit supporting the MTs, if in fact they ever did.
Amen sista!
She probably works for one of the companies that posts these false advertisements.
AMEN, SISTA!! nm

You tell 'em sista...
People want feedback.... Here's your feedback and I heard the same thing as you! Not worth it!
Right on Sista!! They are dishonest and friendly until

LOL I didn't think so! Right on, sista!!! *high fives*

I've got mine, too, sista, but whereas you care nothing except about yourself,
there are those of us here who understand what is happening in this forcing of being creditialed. You obviously don't have a clue, but that is generally the case with the me attitude so prevalent in today's world, an attitude you have displayed magnificently, BTW. I got my CMT because I WANTED to, not because I was FORCED to. Will being forced to be credentialed make you a better MT? NO. No more than being called an MD makes you a good or even excellent doctor. And boy, do we know some really stupid, careless, arrogant, physicians who ought to be in prison today instead of practicing medicine? Doesn't really make any difference that they have MD as a title, does it?
AMEN!
:-)
AMEN!
You would think in order to succeed, they would want to treat their good MTs like gold, and help the newbies out. Instead there is nothing but backstabbing. Having said that, there ARE some good people still working there, why they have not been run off yet, I have no idea. But my hat goes off to them, the good guys fighting the good fight...you know who you are! As for SD, she was always extremely nice and encouraging to me. It was when she stepped down when all hell broke loose and the company went to the crappers.
AMEN!

AMEN!!!!!!!
The whole "lets blame the IC" is really getting boring. I too am an IC and work my scheduled hours. I always call before logging in after my scheduled hours to see if I am needed, and I am always told "yes". It is the end of the pay period and guess what employees......IM OUT OF WORK TOO.
AMEN!!!!
and Amen!
Amen! NM

This person's obsession with recruiters and the fact that he/she seems to be perched just waiting for the opportunity to throw out that question is a little disturbing. Enough already! Maybe, just MAYBE the majority of these people really are MTs who are happy with the co. they work for. And if some of them are recruiters, big hairy deal! And no, I'm NOT one - geesh!
Amen!!!!!

Amen
Ha, we must work for the same company!. I'm thoroughly disgusted. Because of reckless overhiring we have to be a slave to the computer for 14 hours a day 7 days a week just to meet quota or face severe punishment. The holiday excuse is old and a bunch of bull. But what do they care, they're salaried. 
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
We all know there are good companies, and there are bad companies. We each have to decide that on our own experiences. It is fine to share personal experiences but that should be done in a professional manner - not with the personal digs. I don't know the first thing about Keystrokes either, but in my personal opinion, some of these posts are not helping the reputation of the company. If it's good, you don't have to defend it. One or two people on this board are not going to ruin the company's reputation.
Amen.

Had all this stuff to fill in on an opening page - right? took minutes of hand entering stuff before you could start working on your lines.

AMEN!
Amen on that!
They know who they are and I have no respect. They are dumping us in the potty bigtime. What is the word I have for them? cheater, loser, no those words are too good. And even worse are their employers who let them get away with it, work the shit out of other people and then scream wheres my profit? Nannaannanay... waaawaa
amen to that
.
AMEN!
It is unfair that we have to sit back and take the abuse...and they just move on to the next MTSO with not a second thought! AMEN! AMEN!
AMEN
I agree 100% with you!!!! I love my job, but I am seriously considering changing careers so that I can make more money without killing myself trying to make ridiculous bonuses.
You know what else ticks me off is the CMT extra money they offer. It seems like years of experience is less important than the certificate. How many years of experience is equivalent to a CMT?
AMEN to that!!!
So true!! If you read this board long enough you can figure things out.
AMEN to that!
Not to mention their test which certifies MTs. I swear I don't know how some of these people can put CMT after their name. To me it means nothing. Show me what you know instead of a piece of paper.
Amen to that
!!!
Amen!
You hit the nail on the head. I have 4 accounts to work out and was out of work yesterday. I have to say I absolutely love the people that I work for, but I do have a mortgage. But the company overall is terrific.
Amen to that!
AMEN
Absolutely correct!
Amen!
You said it! You know this is supposed to be a board where we can find out the good and the bad about companies, the real and honest opinions, not just a gripe board. Life is too short and there are too many companies out there, so my question is to these people who are at DSG and are so unhappy...... Why don't you spend the same amount of time looking/applying for another job that you spend here complaining! Fact is that DSG is a decent company, not a good fit for everyone (but then again no company or job is a good fit for everyone)BUT definately worth trying, at least you know that you will get paid. So, if it is a good fit great! If it is not a good fit, at least you made some money and now you know. That being said if you are not happy there move on!!! We build our lives complaining instead of doing, WHY?!?!?
