Synernet Transcription..Did anyone else apply and test for them?
Just wondering if anyone has heard back. It's be nice if I would hear back, whether I passed or failed but sometimes you never do when you apply at these companies and I find that frustrating. I'd rather know one way or the other so I can keep moving on.
The only time I tried to apply at Diskriter I had to take a transcription test and it was horrible.
The sound quality was so bad that I just could not take the test. Even though I have 14 years of experience in acute care, they would not hire me because I could not do the transcription test. I would have been happy with just a written, or even a transcription test with better sound quality. I wonder how many people were put off by that. Maybe it was just me. 
I just took their test...I also have 2 other companies I'm going to apply
to...thanks for the info!
I did apply, heard back, and took the first part of their test. nm

Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
Augusta Medical Transcription, did anyone apply?
I passed the first part of the test and was sent a CD to complete the typing portion. Yes, a CD. I thought this was a little different instead of a voice file...a little antiquated and cumbersome to say the least. Does anyone work for them or have worked for them?
I know nothing. Why wouldn't you want to do a transcription test?
It'd give you an idea of the quality of the work you're getting yourself into.
Acusis transcription test
Has anyone taken the test for Acusis? I attempted to take the test...first of all they warn you right off that it will take 3 hours, and that you have to complete the test in 3 hours, nonstop. So I thought I could handle that but once on the site I find out you cannot use a foot pedal but have to use function keys for the dictation (but of course the function keys didn't work for me) so I had to manually stop the dictation plus you could not slow the dictation down. After doing 1 report and an hour was up, I decided it just wasn't worth it. Did anyone else experience these problems. If not, how did you get through the test? Thanks for you help.
I have taken the transcription test also yesterday and have not heard from them yet?
Do you have any update with your application? I wonder how the company is?
But this wasn't your transcription test. She just asked you questions,

I have 14 years of experience and I bombed the transcription test. Where oh where did I go wrong..
Oh well, I was offered a QA position at our local hospital so it worked out.
I would not work for OSI because their online transcription test was so cumbersome w/o foot pedal
It took me 15 minutes to transcribe 30 seconds of dictation because so much time was wasted rewinding and fast forwarding with the mouse. I did not want to work for a company that could not even figure out to make the online test reasonable.
Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

Synernet test? I get Synernet Transcription is not hiring at this time. Anyone else?

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
APPLY ...
1) Explain what you need in schedule; I'm sure you'll get it.
2) IF it is brought up, explain. I'm sure you'll be fine with that!
why don't YOU apply with OSI?
nm
Please don't apply because ...sm
you can't even spell why ruin a good thing for the rest of us? As far as ads being posted well duh - the company is growing with large accounts being added continuously. Nothing wrong with new business!!!
I would apply for another job
One that gets good comments AND takes out taxes :-)
BTW, that's what I did and start the first of the year, couldn't be happier!
Don't apply there then, what can I tell you.
xx
Again if that is so, why would you need to apply at DSG?
You come on here knocking them down for not responding to your holey (misspelled on purpose) self.
Why do I need to apply? No, I don't need
for any amount of money.
Please - where did you apply?
Please, where did you apply? Yes, I do have a letter of recommendation from her. I've got 3 kids to support on my own, and I feel so discouraged.
How do I apply?
Do they have a website? Thanks!
MW MTS, apply to
TransTech..they are growing and wonderful to work for, and do not outsource to India.
Does that apply to ICs too?
nm
Thanks! I will apply and see what happens. NM
Did you apply for the
prn ad?
Apply at TT
with TT112
I always look, never apply.
But there are still a lot of hits and I imagine a lot of serious lookers from the posts here.
So how do you apply at MDI?
I visited their website but saw no place to apply. How do I go about doing this?
Did anyone apply for the job (sm)
Did anyone apply for the job that was on the job seeker's board with CLK transcription, the nonmedical transcriptionist? If so, just wondering if anyone has heard back from them. I sent my resume in, but have not heard anything yet.
thanks in advance!
Where did you apply? sm
Do you just send cover letter/resume through contact information. There is no actual place to apply at on the web site. Thanks!
How do you apply?
How do you apply to MDI-MD? I didn't see a link on their site.
All you can do is apply and see what happens!!!
nm
Why not apply for both and see what happens?
How to apply at MDI-MD
Can anyone tell me how I go about submitting an application/resume with MDI-MD? They don't seem to have a link on their website, unless I have the wrong one! Thanks very much.
Would anyone apply here? sm
Just out of curiousity, how many of you on this board right now would apply for this job? The pay is less than minimum wage, they supply no equipment and looks like you may as well make yourself available 7 days a week. I am serious here, is anyone that is looking going to apply here?

High speed internet connection.
Universal foot pedal.

We area reliable company that offers direct deposit. Pay starts at .07 cents per 65 character line including spaces. Raise will be given when MT is on their own needing minimal QA.
I think I will apply
I have not had steady work since Thanksgiving and it sounds like they have work, think I will apply. I hope they have employee positions. Kim.
Ever apply for a job and get a
ticket number back? I guess they will call when they get to my ticket number. That doesn't sound like a shortage of MTs to me.
All you can do is ask when you apply.

That could apply to just about anyone,
I feel the same way. If you want me to spend hours proof-reading and looking up the addresses of obscure doctors in the Middle-of-Nowhere, USA, then give that 3 cpl you're paying the so-called 'Editors' (and I use the term extremely loosely!), and give it to ME. Then I'll do all that demographic detail crap.
No, I was going to apply and I know last sm
week people were saying it might be bad? Just wondering before I test, that's all. I can't read it because I don't work there.
what you are saying does not apply in these
terrible times. How can you say, 'if you don't like it in 1 company, quit and look for a better company. They are all equal, more or less and jobs are scarce.
It is not proven yet that using the shortcuts brings the speed up. Not for everybody, some people are just 'mouse people' and prefer to continue to work with the mouse. Using the shortcuts is optional and pitting a lot of stress on only 3-4 fingers hitting constantly the Ctrl- and Alt- button in combination with others.
Also, the poster who said that editing isn't even editing anymore, meant, and she is right, that editing has often gone so bad that it is often better to delete the whole document and type it up anew. And this for the VR rate that is 50% of the straight rate.
I don't think I can apply though
cuz I don't have a the foot PEDDLE they require in the ad;-) Good gravy, they should have QA for their ads. Guess recruiters don't have to understand the industry at all anymore. But bet they get paid more than MTs at this CPL.
There is a box that says Apply Now -
That's where I always click, and it brings up another page where you copy and paste your resume. It seems to work for me. I haven't gotten a good job yet, but at least I think I'm applying right! :)
