Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
And expect to work long hours but somehow you only make peanuts.
I suspect that they must not pay for spaces, headers, etc.. as you can work all day and somehow you barely have any lines. I smell a rat.. very suspicious to me that you could work so hard and it just never adds up.

Can someone tell me how long it usually takes Execuscribe to get back to you after you have tested for them?  I recently tested and felt I did a good job with no blanks, etc.  I would really appreciate some feedback from anyone who has tested and knows how long it took to get the results.  Thank you !!!

Any idea how long it takes to hear from All Type? sm

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?


Just applied with them. Patience, how long did it take for you to hear back from them?

After testing for First Choice, can anyone tell me how long it takes to hear back? nm

Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?
Will they get back to you?
I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't. 
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!

I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.

I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.

I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

I expect I and a lot of others will be also saying bye bye.
:
they can expect all they want,
but you do not have to comply. When they send out their pleading "we need all the team helping on this" move past it. You cannot be productive or happy working 7 days a week for too long. White collar sweatshop is only there if we allow it.
I just have to say this: What do you expect?
A company comes underfire in a public forum by what may well be just 1 employee who didn't make it. There could be many reasons why.

Now, the company cannot name employees but the employee can name employers?

So, why wouldn't you expect an owner to come out swinging? This original post to the thread has nothing wrong in it. I saw the posts that were removed and they should have been.

But you know what? They were not any worse, different, or shocking than the trash that is posted here daily.

While some know how to post appropriately - complain in an appropriate manner still showing some integrity - most do not.

I don't blame her for at least addressing the issue. If MT's don't like employers coming on here defending themselves, perhaps they should consider the ridiculous trash they themselves are handing out.

This is a 2-way street, people.

Don't expect that to last

Expect nothing and you will never be let down (sm)
Some of us got absolutely nothing from our company but personally, I'm just thankful to have a job in this messed up world we live in.
You cannot expect (sm)
to receive more than 7 cpl if you only graduated from an MT school 1 year ago.  You are still considered a newbie.  Actually, some would say you are lucky to have found a job at all, especially a job that pays 7 CPL.  My advice:  Stick with your current job for 2 or 3 years; try to work on as many different accounts possible, learn as many different report types possible; then, after 2 or 3 years, search for a company who will pay you a higher rate.  I know it is hard to make it on what you are being paid, but we have all been there; it comes with the territory.
If IC, co cant expect you to do ANYTHING for no

Expect nothing, get nothing.

Oh come on!! How do you expect her to
stay in business if she isn't making something beyond what she pays the sorry likes of you??
Oh come on!! How do you expect her to
stay in business if she isn't making something beyond what she pays the sorry likes of you?? I think we'll all heard enough from you today and probably for a long time to come.
But why do it if you don't have to? And why expect
others to do it just because you have to? This whole conversation is silly.
I don't expect others to do it because I sm
may or may not do it. I expect others to not knock me or the ones who are willing to change their hours around and do what it takes to get work when there is none. If you have no work and you have no money but won't work when the work is not there because the shift is not to your liking, then why feel sorry for you?

I am glad you have what you want. some of us like it this way or are working this way because the work isn't always there when WE WANT IT.
No, and I don't expect to sm
I just could not hack it anymore. Low work, no work, big push for ASR...I left.

I am starting with another company next Wednesday. I will have the schedule I have dreamed of having. They don't know it yet, but they will have to find me at least one more account to work on because I tend to slurp up a lot jobs. I know they will keep me happy.

I took an interim IC position that is actually pretty good. I kept my very long term PT job all the way through my time with TT and am working it more while I have a bit of a hiatus between jobs.

TT people are very nice, but nice didn't pay the bills. I was suffering physically and emotionally trying to work more hours to make the same amount of money. I have taken a raise over my previous pay, will have benefits and a nice incentive program with my new company. I feel your pain, I have been there!
I'm with you fat cat. I don't expect sm
anything either from anybody. If it comes great, if it doesn't then I probably forgot there was an MT week anyway and don't CARE!

Good grief, there is a week for everything under the planet it seems. Is everyone required to send a gift out for every week that somebody makes up?

I don't know who even started MT week to begin wtih, probably AAMT. Whoever did had to have somekind of a money gimmick. You kind of like Hallmark has a holiday for everything so they can sell cards? AAMT probably did this so they could sell their junk for MT week. Folks need to grow up.
Well, I expect
that since I posted in one of my posts that any member of management who read the post would know exactly who I was, it proved to be true.  Too bad they don't have anything to do other than puruse these boards.  Otherwise, I expect it wouldn't be hard to find out identifying information for anyone.  The more I think about it the more furious I become.
What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
So you don't expect anything during MT week either?
Since you're doing your job as is expected of you. 
As an MTSO, maybe you can tell us what you expect?

If we as MTs do not give a company 2 weeks notice, then we are accused of being unprofessional and get slammed.  I did not take it personally, I did find it offensive professionally.  If I had been trusted to work with confidential information for years, what makes a company think all of the sudden I was not to be trusted.  If I wanted to be unprofessional, I would have just left and not given notice at all.  Seems we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.  What is it that you would expect from an MT quitting their job? 


No, but they had 342 hits on their ad, so I'd expect
they took the weekend off and won't contact anyone until later this week.
Both. If you do school, expect to do OJT anyway. nm

When to expect first paycheck?
For those you have undergoine training at Medware, I am just wondering when should I expect my first paycheck?  I have been in training with Medware for almost 4 weeks now. Thanks
what do you expect. We keep saying on these boards
that things are going down the tubes, then some Pollyanna's get on and gush about how great their business is doing and you must have poor skills if you can't get paid more than 3 cpl, bla,bla,bla. Look at the big picture. MT is going to get worse, not better.
Well, *I* don't expect to get every job I apply for...

but I certainly do expect the courtesy of a reply, especially when I've spent a good amount of my time actually testing for the position.  I didn't get the impression that Mting was necessarily *expecting* to get the job he/she was referring to either.


Please back away from the coffee pot and turn off the caps.  Thank you.


 


Expect to be frustrated
You'll try to communicate with them in English but they will not understand and just keep pushing other issues. They do not understand NO so be prepared to repeat yourself over and over when you are unable to work a certain day or time etc. Good luck with that one. People do not stay long there and your QA is done by people in India so do not bother taking any notes on the correct or incorrect way to transcribe as what you learn will never apply anywhere else you ever work. Best wishes..
And you expect us to believe you know anything about TT? First off, it is not owned by a man,
but rather it is owned by two people. Secondly, they have never, not once, cheated me. I know because I checked extensively every single day when I started and *still* check randomly because I have had such bad experienced elsewhere.

The people are nice, they treat me well, the workload is steady, the work is pretty good. Is it perfect? Of course not. It is, though, the best job I have had in 14 years of doing MT'ing at home.

You clearly have some sort of personal problem with Transtech. Go away and wallow in your own misery.
Yes they did. However, should expect it, since entire co is

What to expect at interview?

I know this is inane, but how do companies conduct interviews?  Will I be quizzed on terminology and such? I’ve been doing transcription for 6+ years and am comfortable with my ability/knowledge but have terrible anxiety and freeze under pressure, or worse, turn into a babbling, stammering idiot.  (I should have taken more public speaking classes in school – or Paxil maybe – LOL!)  I have an interview today and would like to prepare myself if I’ll be subject to a barrage of questions. Perhaps I should stop drinking coffee....


Blessed are they that expect nothing

One of my dad's fave sayings.


Thanks for answering this though, I'm new at Webmedx and am glad to know for sure so I won't be sitting at my mailbox with my tongue hanging out.  Now I can be one of the blessed, LOL. 


Don't expect a response from them
Most of those who are the chiefs think they are too good to answer the lowly peons and slaves who work for them. The only way you get a response is to include someone near the very top of the ladder on your e-mails and then they will answer.
they expect DD to resume Oct/Nov

They are rude, and they expect
your work to be perfect 100% days after you are hired. Bad on communication, hardly any feedback. very disorganized. Faye is the rude one, very rude and uncaring.
