How is turning you down for a position rude? Are they, or any other company, obligated to give you

No. As a recruiter, I am seeing this more and more. Maybe the hours you were available did not match what they needed. Maybe your equipment or speciality or background did not match. How is it rude not to hire someone? There would be no need for interviews if everyone was just hired because they applied. I did not understand most of this until I started recruiting. The company I work for is spoken well of on this board and then bashed at other times. I see a lot of people that think they are entitled to a position or a shift or a certain account. It is difficult to be on this side.

Get an IC position and then you aren't obligated to
a set schedule, just number of lines or minutes, but that still could be an issue if you have lots of work with primary account and you don't feel like doing extra work on those days.
You are not obligated to give them a written explaination...but...
Some companies won't allow you to test again for at least a 6 month period after testing. If you are interested in applying with them then I would email them back stating that you are definitely interested in proceeding with your interveiw/testnig, however unfortunately since receiving their last email that you suffered an injury to your hand/and wrist. I would state that it is not a permant injury, however you would like to see if you could get an extension of about a week or so to allow the hand to fully heal. If they want you bad enough they will wait. Don't burn any unnecessary bridges.
Umm, MDI doesn't know who she is by her post so she isn't obligated to give a good exp.
I'm sure MDI doesn't appreciate the lies and people posting like they know something when they don't but I doubt they mind someone posting in their defense re: pure crap posts.
Not to be rude Shasta but didn't you just say you turned down a position from Keystrokes because
just curious...
If they offered you a position, didn't they give you a pay rate?
nm
Nope. No 20hr position. Please don't give wrong info.
nm
Thanks. I'm not really ready to give up my employee position, but nice to know in the future. nm
No of course not, nor are they obligated to do that
You fail, you fail. I agree with the other poster...why give them the answers, so they can have all the answers in hand when they apply and test again in six months? Not.
Ask insider if her company is in position to take on MTs from other company who are familiar
:+
The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
You may never - seems this is common from this company - how unprofessional & rude
You can defend your company without being sarcastic and rude
nm
or maybe it's really a good company. Give me a break. If a company isn't talked about sm
on here, good or bad, it's probably too small to matter and does not offer benefits or anything at all.
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
To OP: Are you? Are you this company? Because if you are, you just offered me a position.
I'd like to know if it's you before I decide whether to accept or decline. 
I think it depends on the company and what position you hold. sm
If you are a Team Lead or manager, I think it would be a conflict of interest. If you are an IC, you should have more than one place that you do work for to be considered as an IC, otherwise you are an employee.
I accepted a position with a company last week. sm
How long does it take usually for a company to get you into training and typing after just being hired? A week from your acceptance? Two weeks?  I'm waiting for equipment to arrive now.
TIA.
I accepted a position with a company last week
I was able to set up an appointment to start training after my software and equipment arrived also. It was approximately 2 weeks after being hired on. Don't get to worried. They still have to run business as usual and it takes time getting training schedules and software set up. I am so thankful that I switched from MQ . I have been with my new company for 6 months now and wondering why the heck I didn't leave earlier. Good luck.
Looking for a PT MT position, for company that provides equipment, and allows satellite....
Are there any such companies out there?
I just declined a position with a wonderful company due to
How many of you work for a company with a Tues thru Sat or Sun through Thur schedule? How can you possibly due this every weekend? I would have no problem working a rotating weekend schedule every 3 to 4 weeks, but EVERY weekend when I have kids and family time is important? Please explain this to me, as I just cannot see how it is possible. Thanks!
Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
Sounds like OSi is turning into
visa versa. I have worked for both and they both STINK!!!!!!!!! STAY AWAY, (RUN FOREST RUN) LOL.
Perhaps a new page is turning here
I believe that with new life being breathed into TTS daily that some of the past problems have been eliminated and that they are working on the others. It is easy to believe negative posts and none of us want to get into a bad situation, but I trust the person I spoke to about TTS and I have learned in the past few months up close and personally that everyone needs to be responsible for making their own decisions about employment. If you have a good work ethic you might find a pleasant surprise now at this company. Work is plentiful and it is good work. Rates paid are based on your individual negotiations and not perhaps what you think based on what is posted here. Professionals can always find work. I put my line in the sand and I ended up in a good place. You can do the same.
Who is to say that the MTs turning out these reports...
know the difference. There are some of us older MTs who were fortunate to have some kind of hands on training and actual mentoring, but how often does that happen anymore?
The assumption is that these MTs are purposely rushing through reports and leaving glaring errors to pad their paycheck. All I am saying is companies hire new MTs for a lot less than their veteran MTs and then turn them loose with little or no help.
I was always told from my supervisor that no news was good news, and I think that is pretty much how they all are. So, these people probably bounce along thinking everything is great because nobody is pointing out errors to them. They still have a job, so they must be doing it right...right?
Again, I say the industry is creating this standard and the hospitals are accepting it. That does not make me unhappy with my job, and I don't sit around wondering how much my boss makes. I just take exception to laying the blame for poor quality reports squarely on an MT.
What sad is they're almost turning on each other..
Snide implications about whether some really quit and other nasty little asides. Kinda confirms the lack of a sisterhood, huh?
The tide is turning with AAMT
NOT! They have never cared about MTs, only about our money. They will, as they say in the movies, Follow the Money, right to India. They have no shame.
I'm turning 60 next week. My speed is as sm
fast as it was 20 years ago when I get dictators who can speak English well enough to be understood. It's the verbal stumblebums who slow me down when I first have to TRANSLATE and then transcribe. Age, for me, has nothing to do with speed. If anything, it has made me faster.
hourly turning out to be not so great.
hourly pay during VR is turning out to be a huge drop in pay as I am only paid hour while actually typing in a report. regular transcription and VR are intermingled all throughout the day as to manipulate my livelihood such that I am making about 200 dollars less per payperiod, that is almost 400 dollars a month.
Can you give the name of the company - sm
I am in the process of looking for a new job and really don't want to choose one that doesn't pay on time!
TIA!
And, why don't they give their company name?
They should be up front about it. It would save everyone a lot of time.
Rude answer to a rude post. nm
nm
I think the tide is turning and AAMT will be American again soon. nm
nm
3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm
the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee. Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great. VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform. They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

You need to give a reason. Not every company
is a good match for every MT and someone may have had a personality conflict or some such thing so then they say it is a bad company. You need to list facts like they don't pay on time, their line counts are off, sound quality is terrible, etc.
Can you give us the first letter of the company's name.
nm
Can you give me any specifics on this company?
Could you give me any specifics on this company? I would like to know more. Thanks.
Does any company give raises?
nm
could you give initials of company? I have been done like this before and
might be the same company. I FINALLY got paid
yes, MTStars says it is okay to give company name.
nm
you can, and should, give the company name on this board.
nm
again, it's okay and encouraged to give company name
nm
again, per moderator okay to give company name.

Not in direct response to turning down any of these companies but regarding speech rec sm
So far Webmedx has only rolled out ASR (assisted speech rec) on one account; every one of the MTs on that pilot project liked ASR and chose to remain with it. We've been told that each MT will be able to choose whether or not to use ASR when the time comes - you can either try it or type it as you did before.
As for work assignments, personally I've not seen any difference in what accounts I work on - if you aren't trained on an acct, you don't get that work. It's not like everyone was thrown into one giant pool.
I know this doesn't answer your specific question, but thought it might enlighten about the changes at Webmedx.
Okay, this is turning ugly. These kind of comments are unprofessional
If you here work for the company you could be earning money by taking TT up on the big BONUSES this weekend that nobody has mentioned while griping about the headers, etc. um er, how about telling the world that lines and a half are being offered and an extra 50 to 100 in addition. So, why not just put your ugly comments away and get to work!
For IC status, that's an insult. Can you give us a company name?
x
I have been at Keystrokes a while and have to give kudos to what I think is the best company out the
not always great in the beginning and I left and came back a few years ago. I am so glad that I did. The changes have been wonderful. I think it is refreshing to see a company actually improve over time with growth instead of going downhill.
I agree with you!
Clever way to give-up a company name that doesn't
Company start with an "E"..give us a hint. If they are doing it to someone else too, then I&#
Throwing in the towel is one way of putting it. I've done this routine too many times.
Can you give me a hint as to which company? The same thing happens to me too and I am an IC. nm
xxx
it's okay to give company names, per moderator.
nm
Maybe the company you work for would give you an advance? sm
Depending upon where you work, how long you have been there, size of the company, etc., that might be a consideration. Also, maybe other temporary work, like Kelly Girls (if they even have that anymore). I know we used to have temps in our office that were paid every week.
The pawn shop idea might be a good one. I think if you don't have the money in 30 days, you can just pay the interest or whatever. You wouldn't lose the instruments. If you are willing to part with someone, ebay and Craigslist can provide some quick cash. Good luck to you. I am my sole support, and I have been in tight situations before and know how scary that can be. My heart goes out to you.
