Keystrokes Question! I want to apply before the
position(s) are filled, but I don't have an official resume, as I've only worked for 1 company for 17 years! I'm not a job hopper! Do I delay applying until I have concocted a resume? Or should I apply and explain? Any thoughts? Obviously I have not been in the job market for nearly 2 decades! Thanks! 
Keystrokes, if you can't make it there, I would not apply to any other national
this is just my opinion (and I am entitled to it). I have been with several nationals and I have found Keystrokes to be the most honest, not assigning bad dictation to new transcriptionists. Becky is a wonderful asset and bends over backwards on the front end to help. I have worked there twice (WILL NEVER LEAVE AGAIN)and had to find out the hard way it is a cold, cruel world with other nationals and their games. I have not found Keystrokes to play them, just get the work done and back to the hospitals and that is what I am paid to do.
To Happy Keystrokes... Do you have a link or address to apply? sm
Also, is it true that they actually give you the work types that you like, and how many accounts must you work on? Thanks!
Anybody apply and start the Keystrokes acute care yet?
The job posting for the DQS and acute care looks really interesting. The post says possibly start the day after resume is received! Lots of perks, and sign ons, etc. Wondering if Keystrokes got a MQ account. I am not a MQ MT, but wondered if anybody is already working or plans to get into this job. It is really, really tempting, but nobody has posted here about it, so I thought I would inquire. If anyone has any kind of experience on this, perhaps it could get me to try. Thanks!
I also, was hired by keystrokes
and then never heard another word. I was dealing with Penny. I understand that people may be busy and the company may be growing ect.... But, when you offer someone a position and they accept, there should be a process in place that ensures that people don't fall through the cracks. This is TOTALLY unprofessional.
KEYSTROKES NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. bottom line! There is NO excuse for this.
Hired by Keystrokes
Has anybody been hired by Keystrokes lately and still waiting to start work? I was hired two weeks ago and should've started last week. I keep getting the run around and not a definite answer. I'm starting to worry. Anybody else in this same situation?
I was hired by the CEO and love my job at Keystrokes. sm
I agree with the lead person in that there is more here than you are telling. Did you not like the account? Did you not have the proper equipment, phone lines, etc? Did you send in your paperwork? Did IS set you up? If so, you were not forgotten by the CEO. After she hired me, I talked to Becky for paperwork, Val for my account and Paul for IS. I have never spoken to Lee again but I am glad that she hired me in the first place. Did you need her to hold your hand? Do you have problems with other companies too?
I started 3 days after being hired by Keystrokes and have been there since
June. I love my account and have no complaints.
I was offered a job with MDI a year ago before I was hired at Keystrokes - SM
They told me that I probably wouldn't want to leave my other job as I probably wouldn't have enough work, and that the account they would put me on was VERY heavy ESL and needed unlimited long distance. That was a big turn off for me! I then accepted a position with Keystrokes right after that, and a year later I'm still glad that I did!
I wanted to work for Keystrokes but she hired me a month ago
and then never followed through. I think that they are a great company, at least the friends I have that work there think so, but it seems that hiring is their weak spot. I should apply for that. I am organized and would never let someone slip through the cracks. I am going to call their office on Monday to be the squeaky wheel.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?
keystrokes ad..can someone tell keystrokes their banner ad needs a hyphen...quality-minded
nm 
Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying sm
small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend. Is this true?
I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread. Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.
Not only that, but I would MUCH rather work for Keystrokes than Spheris as Keystrokes doesn't
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?
We have another position open. This is an IC position transcribing for a few acute care hospitals, as well as a few specialty clinics. The position is part-time, requring M-F (evenings only) and Sat and Sun (hours flexible).
All candidates must posess at least 2 years of acute care experience (not counting schooling).
Other requirements are as follows:
High speed internet connection.
Universal foot pedal.
Windows 2000 or XP (NO Vista).
Microsoft Word 2000 or greater (no Word Pad).
MT U.S. based.
MT easily reached by phone or email.
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.
x
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! :)
How To Apply With MDI
Could someone tell me how to apply with MDI. I went to their web site and wrote them under their Contact Us link, but I have had no reply. Other than sending them my resume through the Contact Us link, there's no way currently to apply from their site. It may be that they are not accepting new applicants at this time.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Sure, an IC can APPLY
imagine it being granted, unless we ourselves contributed to the state fund as our own employer. However, the application would at least help statistically show the true unemployment rate, and annoy our former company with having to respond.
Apply at both,
see which one is more appealing to you when you pass their tests, and then make your choice.
In this economy and with all the low paying jobs, just getting a job will be good!
Only Keystrokes. Worked at MQ until I came to Keystrokes. Started at sm
Keystrokes PT, liked what I saw and experienced, gave notice to MQ and went FT. Have not look back since. I had previously worked at 2 hospitals, for MDI, Transcend and MRC until bought by MQ. I plan on retiring here as long as they stay as they are.
