Anyone else apply at ATS for an orthopedic MT position and get this bizarre,

obviously form letter that you did not have enough experience, even though you have over 15 years of MT experience, with over 10 of that doing orthopedics. I think it is pretty lame to send out an inappropriate form letter that is way off the mark. Tell me you've filled the position or just not interested but do NOT bother telling me that I do not have enough experience. Of course, I had to ask them, Just how much experience were you looking for, 10 years is not enough? Sometimes, this business scares me. I was just curious as to whether anyone else got this bizarre form letter when they applied.

Did you apply for an MT position or the
MT trainer position. I haven't heard anything since I applied last week. I applied for the trainer position.
ha! and when you apply for a QA position
but never call you back, even after salary and schedule are discussed!!! No wonder their QA backlog is so horrendous
Anyone else apply with Webmedx for th ortho position?
Just curious on whether any had heard back. Ten years of ortho experience and no reply.. Maybe they filled it
I wanted to apply for a position with a current job listing.
But, they really did not provide much information. I e-mailed asking for the range of compensation and platform information since the test they want completed is pretty involved. I never heard anything from them. Are that many really willing to spend an hour or more testing without the most basic of information being given? I really did not think it was asking too much. Makes me wonder ... either enough MTs are willing to test first, find out later or the company is not comfortable enough with what it has to offer to include it in the ad or respond to an e-mail. Oh well.
That's bizarre....
How odd that she would go through the trouble to take, save and send you a screen shot but apparently is reluctant to either forward you the suspect resignation or even to check for the IP information so that it can be traced. Sounds like TH is covering somebody's backside, if not her own, then someone's.
Keep us posted on what you find out. I cannot figure out how someone with nothing to hide would refuse to cooperate. If I were TH, I'd be furious that one of my MTs would stoop so low as to try to pull such an underhanded stunt and would stop at nothing to find out just exactly who was behind it.
How bizarre! Vianeta was the previous sm
platform used by my employer. I actually liked it. There were some days when it was slow, but overall I would not be afraid to use it. Different companies use it, so it must be tweaked for the individual companies I would imagine. 
what bizarre post are you referring to? sm
guess I missed it
That was a bizarre post. Sounded like someone
with a vendetta. I haven't seen anything like that at Webmedx. They should go after that poster for libel. Good company.
Not bizarre at all, and chances are, this person isn't living in the US. sm
A lot of the offshore companies front a business here but they are actually in India or Pakistan or whatever. Of course, they never tell you that.
Transam associates - Bizarre incidence
I received an offer from Transam associates and tested with their sample dictation (I thought it was weird because I could not use my foot pedal but write what I heard on paper and type it down). Before realizing my mistake, I accidentally pasted my confidentiality email footer and sent it. My clipboard messed up and I pasted the wrong thing (scatterbrained I know). A few minutes later I receive an email that I did great on the test and it was a true representation of my work. What in the world? Is this just an automated response to everyone. Are they a scam?
I know that they do have a really big orthopedic hospital as
a client. I really enjoy working there. The pay in not the highest I have ever heard of, but it is above average. The people are absolutely terrific to work with. I think they do hire part timers. Definitely worth checking out.
I worked in an orthopedic office
not that long ago that used Dictaphone and our servers would go down quite a bit. It seemed like at least once a week. So I think it's a Dictaphone problem. As far as the work load, I'm getting pretty disgusted. This is going on at least 3-4 weeks of low to no work. My first thought would be an overhire, but they are still hiring for new accounts - why don't they give some of those new accounts to the MTs that already work there who are out of work. Doesn't make sense to me. I've asked for backup accounts, and keep getting the answer that the work is low everywhere. Starting to worry.
FYI - the orthopedic account is mostly letters
Just an FYI -
Anyone know of companies that hire orthopedic transcriptionists..
I liked to find a company that has a great ortho account and needs help whether it be FT or PT, IC or employee, but it seems hard to find anyone that has any good ortho accounts.
Would this happened to be for an orthopedic transcription company? sm
This sounded very, very familiar to what happened to me just a little while back. They asked for SS# and address. But never did send me the information I requested. I sent an email back to them declining the position because I had to purchase equipment and then something kept telling me that this place was not what it was supposed to be...Just curious as if this is the same place...
Sorry that you had gotten your hopes up. MT is a good field but the hardest part is finding a DEPENDABLE employer....Very hard. I have been in this business for over 14 years. I started when I was 18. So, I know how frustrated you are, but don't give up. There are a FEW good ones left. Good luck.
Companies that have good orthopedic accounts.
If anyone knows of those companies which offer ortho, could you please email me privately if you don't want to post on the forum. Thanks.
My account has been slow this week due to an orthopedic conference...
but not completely out of work...ask your supervisor if you can have a backup account...there is plenty of work to be done..
I use Stedman's Orthopedic and Rehab Words book..
and Google is also a good research tool :)
The DQS is an IC position and the Dictaphone EXtext is an employee position....
both part time...both making 9.5 cents per line...which is better IC or employee?
Thanks :)
I'm hoping too as I accepted position a position also nm

Is the AC a salaried position or hourly? If the position is salaried, there is
no such thing as overtime, at least not at any places I've worked. I've been in salaried positions before and you work until the job is done or delegate it to someone you know will get it done. Only hourly employees are subject to OT pay.
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?

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.
