The test tape was definitely horrible, and actually isn't a fair way to test new MTs for any account.  I had 2-3 blanks left in the end.  All they told me about my results was that they were below their levels for employment. 

I asked to see what mistakes I made and asked what my actual score on the test was, and they never got back to me with any results after I emailed them several times about it. 

The test itself consisted of 20 questions and 10 reports to type.  Who would think 2-3 blanks out of all of that would result in a no hire.  I guess you have to be able to do that tape without any blanks or questions at all in order to pass and get a job with them.

I have not worked for them, but I tested for them.  The test job I did was about 50 65-character lines long and at the per page rate they were offering it came out to  4 cents per line.  Don't know if all the jobs would have been that long, but I got the feeling they would all be pretty long.  For long reports you're better off getting paid by the line.  So you've got to be careful in comparing your current pay to what they're offering. 

A C-phone is a phone that you dial into a digital dictation system with.  It has a footpedal and you can plug a headset in, and you just transcribe while listening to the dictation right over the phone line.  It works real well.

Hope this helps somewhat.

have changed files, but I didn't have any problem hearing them.  Typically companies will put some of their worst dictation as tests, especially if they have a high percentage of ESLs.  In the past there was a problem with scoring of the tests and it would mark things wrong that weren't, but I think that is fixed now. 

we scheduled a phone conference to discuss the opening they had no less than five times and kept having to reschedule it at the last minute - very irritating.

When I tested for the company I've been with for nearly 2 years, the transcribing section was absolutely horrid. To this day I still don't have a clue how I passed their testing. Four reports of the worst possible dictation I have ever heard in my career.

Then I test for a few places this week (just in case things don't turn around at my company) and I had 2 reports that were an absolute breeze. One was very, very long, but both were as good as you can possibly get.

I'm just wondering. Is this now part of the recruiting process to make it look as if their accounts were that easy, or did I just get plain lucky?

Anybody who didn't know any better would know that this is definitely not the norm.

Just a thought.

I liked the fact they only required 32 hours for insurance. I realized the cpl was probably a little lower but that somewhat made up for it. I was contacted to test with them a few weeks ago. I took the test (a long and very detailed test I might add with transcription portion and many multiple choice).

 I feel I did reasonably well yet I never even heard a word back from them.? To me if someone took the time to take an hour long test at least they could do respond to the potential employee whether you passed it or not.

just sent a resume, was waiting for a reply, but I imagine they've been pretty swamped with the new account and applications.  I think I'll wait a few more days and email again if I don't hear anything, but I'm kind of checking out a couple of other options, too.  Thanks much! Glad to hear you're happy there!

haven't heard anything yet.  The person who contacted me seemed really nice.  If the test is indicative of their work, I think I'd really enjoy it.

Has anyone else heard how well they did on the test?

Does anyone know if it is IC work or do they have employee status too?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll get back to me.

Just Me

passed, they sent me an e-mail asking me to get a hold of them.  I didn't because I decided to give this hospital a little more time send me home to work.  I am still here, still working in-house, broke because it is costing me 1000/month to go to work (gas, daycare, eating, gas).  I do work in-house on production.  I get  9 c a line plus bennies.  However, they opened a new surgery center that is a separate entity from the hospital and they outsource their transcription and now we are significantly over staffed which makes it hard to make a decent pay...except for the girls who work at home who can log on anytime they want pirate the work.    Oh I could file for $11.50 an hour but on the days I file it is not worth a 70 mile round trip. 

Anyway, they pick their favorites and bend over backwards for them for but the rest of us...tough turkey.  Others feel they are getting the shaft too.  Anyway I am tired of this and need a change.  I have been there 7 years.

So if I call this person from Cymed, how likely would it be to get a Monday through Friday schedule.  I am not kidding.  I don't have childcare on the weekends.
