Clarification about Keystrokes' current openings, hiring, etc. sm

There have been a few posts that Keystrokes is hiring and a few that Keystrokes is not hiring.  Right now, we are working with our current MTs to make sure that they have the volume of work that they want, accounts that they are happy with and changing our benefits package.  We are transitioning to having primarily full-time MTs, with a few exceptions and have been helping some of the part-time MTs increase their work load to full time.

We continue to grow and will be hiring in the very near future, once we make sure that current employees have everything they want/need.  There are definite gaps that we need filled, all full-time positions, but the openings will not be posted until each and every current employee has had his/her needs addressed.  We are also working on a formal training program for new employees, building a new office and working with MTIA and AAMT on the new apprenticeship program. 

We hope this clears up some of the confusion and questions we have been getting.

Not to sound blunt, but if you're not a current Keystrokes Radiology MT, then why did you respond to my post? 

Is Keystrokes hiring?

I went to their web site to put in my app and resume, and hit submit, but I did not get a new screen saying it was sent or anything like that.....

If they are hiring, can someone let me know how to get a hold of a recruiter?  I would like to know if they are hiring so I don't waste my time if they are not.

Thanks in advance!

I have over five years experience in numerous specialities. The last two years I have also completed QA. I am looking to supplement income with new accounts. I would prefer mircocassette or dictaphone accounts but will do others. Please email with any opportunities.

Hi am from Canada, and am looking for a MT job from home.  Currently I work for 20 doctors in Edmonton Alberta and am wanting to work from home so bad. I want to start part time, gradually into full time so I can quit my 9 to 5 job at the clinic.  Any ideas>>>Anyone heard of Superior Global Inc.  I received a phone call from them, it is a 1-800 number I cannot access from Canada.  Go figure!!

Desperate here.

I am a Psych. transcriptionist, but my training does not apply to MT.  I am really interested in the medical field, but would need to complete a program such as Career Step to becoome familiar with the vocab and the format.

Where I live now, Psych. transcription is not a big market, and I woud like to expand what I have to offer.

Sorry if it was unclear before!

I would like to be perfectly clear, as I have received emails asking me why I stayed so long since I said DSG was bad. 

DSG IS NOT BAD! 

Yes I am yelling here, so please hear me clearly.  I no longer work for DSG.  I worked for them and left 3 times due to..... once not meeting my line count, and twice due to health issues of my own and my MIL.  I was more than ready and happy to go back to DSG.  I was very disappointed that I was not welcomed back as my understanding was if there were openings I would be welcomed back. 

DSG always paid on time every time!  Only once (once in 4 years) was my paycheck off, less than $5 and they corrected it right away on the next paycheck.  They were really great about correcting it, not fights, no trying to prove me wrong or anything.  They just took care of it. 

Jodi, Kim and others always answered my emails and questions without making me feel ever like any of my questions were silly or unnecessary.  They went way, way, way above and beyond with me and my health issues. 

I am very happy where I am at.  I am simply glad that I did not miss this opportunity, which I believe I would have if I had gone back to DSG, as I would not have been looking.  I am very sorry for people who have had a bad experience with DSG.  I am very glad for the ones who have found happiness there.

I always thought that I had found my home with DSG until I was not welcomed back after my leave of absence due to MIL's illness. 

I would still recommend to give DSG a try to anyone, and as a matter of fact I did to someone who emailed me privately based on earlier positive posts about DSG.  She was acute care and always running out of work at her old job.  I told her that I almost never saw acute care being out of work and as a matter of fact that DSG was training me on acute care a little at a time, which I have never been offered that opportunity by any other company. 

So, in conclusion, overall my experience with DSG was good, very good.  Management always nice, attentive, and easy to reach.  As a matter of fact if they ever had openings and I could fit it into my schedule with this new job, I would gladly go back!   

While all the things Stick Finger said are true, and she may make $50 to $75 an hour, it is NOT possible for most MTs.  If she is making this kind of money, and I am not calling her a liar,  there is more to the story than what she is saying.  I say this as one who came from the day when making $100,000/year was quite achievable.....BEFORE computers, using an IBM Wheelwriter, which most of you probably never heard of. 

 What does AAMT have to do with it?  Weren't they the ones who were suppose to be for the MTs?  Aren't they the ones who came up with the 65 cpl pay?  In my opinion they are the ones who sold us out.  I USED to be a member of AAMT and I was certified.  I quit when I realized they were NOT for the MT, they are for making money for themselves.  At least I'm glad they apparently took the American out of their name.

I could say a lot more about the MT business and how and why it has gone to hades in a handbasket but I'm off to paint gourds.

In some ways you are correct.  I have even called my pharmacist to give me the spelling of a new drug.  I would call that conscientious enough.  What I was referring to was ONE word blanks.  I don't know how many reports she went through to find the word or if she left it out, made it up or what but I do know the words were words that I think God Himself would have had trouble understanding as there was nothing in the context to indicate what they even MIGHT be.  That being said, I consider one of TT's Q.A. people among my good friends and we still chat.

I have never  had a problem with Q.A. before except another one of those high fulutin Q.A.s that happened to work for MQ. (NOT the Herndon office but another I was transferred to).    She as much as called me an idiot when she sent back a routine Q.A. and  had changed at the point of INTROmission to read at the point of interim admission.  The report was about a sexual problem.  I was so furious I called the supervisor and her thoughts?.....Oh, I see you are correct but she was just doing her job.  Doing her job!!!!!!????  A few more episodes like that and  I was out of there.  During the several years I worked for ddi, who was reported to have the strictest Q.A. in the industry, I never had anything but compliments.  I don't know whether you do Q.A. or not.  If you do and you are one of the good Q.A. people, who offer feedback when asked and refrain from trying to lord the Q.A. position over the lowly MT, then my hat is off to you.  If, on the other hand, the shoe fits...............
