I tested with Precyse on Wednesday. How long should I wait until I hear from them. If I don't hear from them, how long should I wait before contacting them and inquiring about my scores.

Thanks

Just curious, I tested last week and have not heard anything. 

to hear back from them.  I felt like I did pretty good on the test, but I was just wondering if it usually takes a while for them to get back to you?

TIA!

If Transtech is interested in your resume, how long does it typically take to hear from them? 

I applied August 2nd and have not heard anything.  Is this a bad sign?

Thanks

I've submitted my resume for their QA position, and I haven't heard anything back yet. I was wondering if this could be due to the convention in Boston, or is this just the new trend in the application process? I've also submitted my resume to other companies, and there have been quite a few who haven't given even a short reply.

I know it's not because of a lack of experience, because I've been doing MT for over 15 years and QA for over 5. Any ideas of a great place to send my resume?

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.
