Please please do. My ego is SHOT!

Complete with mug shot
with a lot of help from her
this is a long shot, but
Does StatIQ Solutions pay for headers?
Give it a shot
They gave me a chance years ago when I had little experience but tested well - am still there and happy. Downside: Heavy ESL, demanding work environment, expect you to stick like glue to your schedule, very specific accounts. Good: Pay, on time pay, lots of work, 100% US based, hey it's a job and one that I have had for a while now and will continue to defend on here regardless of the horror stories people had years ago with HR or the person who used to be in charge who has since passed away. Make your own decision and take a chance!
Your theory shot down

No money to be made here.  Volunteer members do the work, and office products have been donated.  No paid positions. 


So . . . . you have nothing, basically.


I'd give it a shot
Are you looking for clinic or acute care? They do quite a bit of clinic work, too, and you might just be experienced in an area where they need someone. It would most definitely be in your best interest to throw your hat into the ring and apply, Robin...this is quite honestly the best place out there that I've found.

Let us know if you decide to go for it :-)
give Diskriter a shot, sm,
they are hiring, some ESLs yes, good benefits, nice people, written test only, loads of work and paid downtime for the rare time there isn't - - can't hurt to give them a call and make your own decision if they match what you are looking for - - been in the business 15 years, best company I've worked for, 3 years running now
Give them a shot...I'm happy there...SM
It's something each person really needs to try for themselves to make an informed decision. I'm glad I went with them. No job is a bed of roses but overall I like the job. There will always be negative and positive opinions to sort through. I did lots of that when I was deciding where to go.
what a nasty shot at QA people

The only people you'll see in QA are the lazy ones who have no pride and no longer care.


Are you kidding me?  People who make nasty comments like this with absolutely nothing to back it up are just simply trying to start something.  What a nasty, nasty thing to say. 


For the person who originally started this post, I personally can't stand doing MT work anymore.  My wrists and back are shot and I have found that my ears are much sharper when my body isn't stressed out.  I have found in QA my passion and talent and wouldn't trade it for anything.  If you are awesome at MTing, maybe what everyone else is saying is worth heeding and you should stay where you are :)


TY. I'm gonna give it a shot...
Just turned in my resume. Thanks again for the info!
Thanks! I'll give that a shot....nm

Yes, they call it a "snap shot."
I also had the same concerns you are expressing and the tech guy said he wanted to take a snap shot of my computer.  I have a very fast internet connection and it was taking him forever to download and get things setup.  Was not happy and was worried my computer would be ruined. When I voice my concerns, he just said time out like I was just suppose to sit there and put up and shut up.  I still get a of  error messages.
I will give the resume a shot and apply! At least you
are passionate in defending your company - at this point in my experience with my company, I wish I felt the same way. So, to me, I'll try to look at your passion as a good sign for KS!
Re: The Calif. bill: The "Governator" shot it down. (no msg)

Do they provide sample documents? If so, it may be worth a shot. nm

Thank you!!! Obviously an bitter MTSO because they offered a ridiculous cpl and got shot down.
Shame on you!!
Thanks, I'll give it a shot! Hope they are hiring PT. nm
..
Long shot.. Does futurenet give out any kind sm
of Christmas bonus or gift?  Just wondering..   Or for that matter, do any of the companies?
I hate this kind of cheap shot post. What's the deal? nm

Sorry that didnt work

Their PTO is good.  Lots of ESL's.  I wasn't there long enough to see about a raise, but something after 120 days they were supposed to evaluate you for it.  They always pay on time.  Platform is very easy to learn. 


I don't know about their line counting system.  I don't trust it only because several times when I would send a job I would keep getting it back several times already typed by myself.  I even got a report that was already fully typed from another person, I didn't take credit for it. Trust me, they wouldn't break or abandon a report that long it had no blanks and 1 QA marker.  I didn't think it was right. I asked the WFC and she said to abandon it.  I got that typed report back every time I would finish a job that day. So I dont know how often that happens, but I didn't like it.


Not trying to bad talk the place, everyone was very nice, nice doesn't cut it..when it comes to work, don't expect any, and don't expect anyone to get back to you about a second acount, plan on working all weekend every weekend. 


I don't know about everyone else, but when I pick a schedule, I pick it for a reason, to work it.. not to work every day and every time but that. I don't mind it here and there, but it was EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.  Sayin how they are tired of always having the same people being team players.


They require one weekend day a week.  I wasn't able to work any other time really than the schedule I picked


Anyways.. I worked 5 hour days there and I ended up with no more than 200 lines a day.



Might be different for you, but I'm just giving you my experience.


Check out page 2 or 3 on the company board there is more talk about them there.


I didnt know SpongeBob was
But when I just googled it basically all of the sites had it spelled that way except for a few unoffical sites. Maybe she was checking research skills. I duno.  That is pretty stupid that you would be failed over something like that though.  Probably better off.
They lost a lot of us, now, didnt they?
They will realize that   doesnt cut it.
How do you know she wants a pic if you didnt apply? nothing said in ad?
hmmmmmm
Hmm, didnt see the "This is for everyone but MT
x
eMTS, I didnt know that!
xxx
I didnt hear that.....
I was recently offered a job with them, but it was 60 to70% ESL so i politely turned it down.
Not to worry. Didnt think you came up with it.

I didnt see that when I logged in. Where do you find it.
:
2 days. I didnt have to call them..but if you don't
the recruiter.
noyb - I didnt notice the..

experience/no experience.  sounds even more strange! 


I would apply but I'm not radiology MT...but wait....I don't need experience....and I have a C-phone and internet.....but wait....I would have to work in Yorba Linda.  Geez...how can I decide??????  


I didnt know if they had the 9 foot pedal in USB or not. Where did you get yours.
Your right.. the 9-pin is becoming outdated and obsolete. If there is a USB one out there that works then I need to get one. Can I ask where you got yours and have you tried it on a laptop?
They didnt worry that it would be affordable for the MTs.
you gotta be kidding, lol
I didnt see that info on their website. nm
x
Wow..you actually even got an email about it. I didnt even get that. I dont even know what your
talking about.. Do share so I can decide if I want to be upset or not. Incentives?? who gets those.
I was thinking the same thing but didnt want to say anything LOL

LOL but a few msgs below you said you didnt know?! 6-1/2 is what I started out on.

Sorry, didnt mean to impinge your MT qualities. Do
x
OP did not ASK if paid spaces, SAID didnt. Re your
x
they did lay off- didnt outsource but laid off a lot
They bought another contract and then lost it so had new employees and not enough work to go around
Sorry, I didnt receive an email. Could you try again. nm
:
Do you not come on board until then? Didnt they put you on something temporarily? (sm)
Every company has their ups and downs but in my opinion, this company is worth hanging in for.

Good luck.
G.P. = guinea porcine. (Didnt think that would be
being used as G.P. (guinea porcine) she can leave to work in corporate world, Walmart, start own business, whatever. I hope you get this cause I dont know how Else I could explain it.
I do understand. I'm just saying, get used to the bad communication. I didnt stay because of it.
Best wishes for you but you know you can do better.
I didnt have the best experience with her either, but that was 2 years ago...not as flexible as you
that will change!! Trust me, I am not the ONLY one who experienced this.
Thx for explaining, otherwise it didnt make sense
,,,
I was curious, but it was rather vague, and no I didnt respond. nm
xxxx
Did you read post? OP didnt ask if pay for spaces.

No I didnt see that, is there anything this country values anymore SM

and is willing to pay other than tech stuff? I know my son went to college for graphic design and he doesnt make much.

Wrong. We had our turn and didnt like it and left.
