I'm in the process of accepting a position with them. SM

Posted By: Anon on 2006-04-28
In Reply to: Zylomed in Naples, FL? Is there more than one - MTSO named that? sm

They didn't say anything about a turn-around time, thought, so maybe this varies by account.  I liked the sound of the account I'm going to be doing and so I'm going for it.  I wish the pay was a little higher, but I always wish that!  I actually didn't ask about raises - didn't think about it.  I'm not really much help, am I? lol

Costs associated with accepting a position do not sm
include purchasing MS Word or medical spellchecker. Keystrokes provides the platfom for the account you are on and if you do not have Shorthand, they will provide it for you.

Some accounts do require unlimited long distance, but I have it anyway as I have 2 college students out of state and a teenager. I went with my local cable company and can call anywhere any time. It is less than my regular phone was.

I'm glad you are happy with your decision, but if you look in the future for another job, don't count KS out as they will work to help you get what you need and the account that best suits you.
I meant billing process, not bill paying process.. sorry! nm

Oh no, I'm thinking about accepting a job with them.

Considering accepting an offer to do
Would love to hear from current QA folks at Sten-Tel. I am concerned because it is an IC position...is there a steady workload? I can't afford not to get 40 hours per week.
The ones accepting these positions must be SM
newbies, cause I can't believe an MT with much experience would put up with it.
Are they accepting resumes? sm

I used to work for them about 2 years ago on acute care and had to quit because everything they had required high speed internet and I only had dialup at the time.  I now have high speed and would be interested in working on one of their radiology accounts.  What are the line requirements for radiology?  Where would I apply?  There is no place on their website to apply.  Thanks.


ALL TYPE - OFFERED JOB - I'M ACCEPTING

Thank you all for your input, it is appreciated. 


I'm going to accept .  It is wonderful because I will be doing what I love most...training  and QA (don't scream now...I'm old it will hurt my ears!).  I owned my own business years ago, and have always been a working MT.  I have worked as an MT and trainer for over 32 years; last was for another larger national as a trainer and when I left (the grass is not always greener on the other side, especially going to work for the wicked witch -- made a HUGE Mistake!) shortly thereafter (about 1-1/2 weeks, honestly!!)  I realized I wasn't as happy as I was training.  To make a long story short (as my oldest and dearest friend told me  ) Your setback was a setup for a comeback! 


 


Thank you again  


 


TT web site not accepting resumes?
Hey y'all, just tried to send TT my resume by using their website resume sender lol I tried sending it on IE (gave me a 404 error) and on Netscape (it just sat there). Anybody have an email address I can send it to? Thanks! JC
companies accepting satellite connection
Cannot get DSL/cable (no way). Need suggestions on companies hiring with satellite connection. Thank you.
Why does progress mean accepting a lower wage?
I want to point out the contrast between the OP and this response.

The OP says MDI moving to VR is to cut costs. Had to Respond says it is keeping up with the times and says nothing about reducing costs. Is moving to VR keeping up with (sic) technological times or is it being used to reduce costs?

I believe it is the latter, not the former. And if that is the case, Had to respond has no straws to grasp to justify the transition. It is NOT about moving with technology and everything to do with paying less to the ICs.

I am so not impressed with Had to Respond and her big girl panties to accept less money.
My creditors are just not accepting nice for $$$$ to pay my bills
We continue to get these emails from mgmt about big things in store . . . but we cannot tell you about it now.   This has been going on for a number of months now.  Who is going to benefit from those big things.  We MT's are LOSING money each and every day, but you keep getting the same size paychecks because you are either salaried or hourly employees. 
It is very sad you are so accepting of offshoring and AAMT turning a blind eye to the American MTs.
The offshoring would not be a problem if there was not such a huge difference in cost. We are on the losing end and taking pay cuts because of offshoring. Also, I know many who have lost their jobs to cheap labor overseas. AAMT is encouring this. That is wrong. America is slowly become a third world country in itself. If we don't stop it now, there will be no jobs left for Americans. I don't care where you are from or what kind of job you have, the pay should be equal for all so the competition is fair. You will find after some time with AAMT, you will be ignored and will receive nothing but redundant information from AAMT office and local chapters. Anything they offer can be gained via the internet now.
The DQS is an IC position and the Dictaphone EXtext is an employee position....
both part time...both making 9.5 cents per line...which is better IC or employee?
Thanks :)
I'm hoping too as I accepted position a position also nm

QA process.....sm
Read on another board that someone was fired because of QA without warning.  Is this new QA system they were talking about at Transolutions?  Very interested in knowing if this is the same company.  Also very interested in hearing from other radiology MTs who current work there.  Would like to know their platform and line/report rate before I waste my/their time testing.  TIA
Want to know the whole process...
You need to send an E-mail to your PS giving your resignation.  If you do not hear back within 2 days, call her (Most likely, you will need to make this call).  They will try to talk you into staying.  You may hear from HER supervisor as well.  Make sure you ask about getting compensated for all unused PTO.  Hope this helps.  (It is definitely a wise move....trust me).
The "easing out process."
  Has anyone been eased out of QT? I believe this is what is happening to me, but if anyone has gone through this, could you please comment...less and less work, having to call repeatedly to get work, benefits problems...etc., that sort of thing or am I just paranoid?  I am not calling and asking to speak with anyone in particular because I know what they will say...it is a matter of not wanting to fire outright but making things pretty miserable...you know what I mean.
How long did the process take
After you send a resume and tested, what happened after that and how long did things take?
Not my experience. Best process I have gone through.
Had the most complete interview any company had given. The test was thorough and not long. The training process allowed me to ask what I need to ask. I love my assigned accounts.
Does anyone know what their testing process is like? nm

Testing process
Just wondering if anyone else thinks that taking an actual transcription test that consists of a total of 6 different voice files is a bit too much.   Three maybe, but six (6)?!!!  IMO they should be able to tell if you are any good at just giving 3 different ones.  Any opinions on this matter?  M
What is their testing process like? NM

process time
I sent my resume Sun p.m., received an email from KS with general info Mon a.m., then they sent an email with a list of questions(which I thought was great) and I immediately replied. They called me this morning to offer me the position! I have everything I need to get started so I just have to wait for HR to send paperwork - probably Monday I will start.
I'm also in the interview process and...
I was told about the new ortho account coming up too. I don't know about other areas, but ortho seems to have plenty of work.
I am going through the hiring process with MDI-MD right now and have ???s. sm
We are not talking money yet and before I go too far into it, I have a few questions.

Do they really treat you as an IC or do they hold you to a schedule?

Is there work available in the early morning, say 5 a.m. EST?

What is the rate range for VR editing and is the platform good?
The hiring process is very SLOW!
The training sucks! The platform is a joke, not very MT friendly, IMO. I am about a month in and I am looking for another job.

Oh and I have never posted about this company. I read the negative posts and thought the same; all coming from the same person. My experience has been more negative than positive.
to the post above - the hiring process is
EXTENSIVE regardless of whether you are a hospital employee or a regular employee. You have to go through a physical, drug testing, background check, criminal background check, etc.
I'm in the process of leaving mine right now!
I have great accounts, great doctors, an awesome editor, and my pay is always accurate and on time. Unfortunately, the owner won't respond to my repeated requests for a raise in CPL. (Not even a yes or no or maybe or in a few months--nothing!) Instead, I'm getting more and more operative reports, which I love, but when you're making far too little, well, sometimes you just have to move on. I'll miss them, but I don't think I'll regret it.
TransTech - application process

Can any experienced Transtech employees fill me in on the process of getting a job with TransTech? Did you need to follow up your application with an email, or is that too pestering? If they contacted you, how long did it take after you applied? Any other things you could fill me in on would be appreciated. I would really like to have some contact with this company.


Thanks!


Webmedx interview process
Can anyone give tell me about the interview process for Webmedx?  I have one soon and am so nervous.  I would appreciate any info out there!  Thank you!
Webmedx hiring process

I filled out the preliminary interview sheet and have not heard back yet.  How long does it take and do they notify you even if you don't meet their needs? 


Thanks for any info.


Application process/testing
I am starting to think that all of this application and testing is a waste of my time! You spend hours at your desk and seem to get nowhere and not even get hired!
ATSI - hiring process
I do not like the recruiting manager/QA manager (initials PT). She really screwed me bad. I have no respect for her. I am glad I am not working there. You are right, I am blessed! Thank you for your input. Have a wonderful holiday!!!
Wondering about the training process at MDI-MD...SM
What is it like and for how long? Do you get an hourly rate while learning? Any info would be good. Is it extremely complicated to get used to the system?
Transform testing process ?

I took the test last Fri p.m. for Transform and at the end of the test it says they will get back with you in 24 hours.  (I'm not expecting that over the weekend obviously.)  That same evening, I emailed the person that had invited me to take their test and let her know I had completed the test.  Just curious how long it really takes them to get back with you and if they get back with you even if you didn't pass.


Thanks for the info.  Have a BEAUTIFUL day!


Tips on the application process
Good morning! Never give any information not asked for. If they don't ask if you have books, don't tell them. There are so many ways of researching on-line until you get the books that you would have been fine. Never, never say what you won't do until you actually talk to the recruiter after testing and they see you are going to be a quality employee. Then when you're specifically asked about scheduling during your job offer, say you'd prefer not to work Sundays. During the application process, when they ask if you are willing to work weekends, I always put yes, but for me this means Saturday. During my job interview/offer, that's when I let them know I prefer Sundays off. Maybe this will help for next time, along with prayer. (Oh please Father, I want this job, please, please, please). lol

I've worked for 3 different companies in the last 12 years and have always received replies to a job opening. The next time you apply, send a followup email the next day on the status of your application. I did this the very next day with all three companies. That is not being pushy...it's just letting them know you seriously want this job and are excited to know your status. Good luck, Dreamer! :)
It was a very long and tedious process
I almost didn't do it, but then did. I didn't realize it was virtually unpassable. I would not give my SS# either, they can have that upon employment, not before. Never heard back from them.
I am sure it takes a few days. The CEO does not process sm
the paperwork, the HR department does. If she has been doing hiring, then I am sure she is getting a lot done quickly, which means that HR might be backed up. I have been a lead for a while and realize that once the CEO steps in, everyone jumps as she moves faster than most others and makes sure that it is all completed.
Considering you initiated the process on a Saturday -- sm
...and there's often a somewhat implicit business hours (or days) when talking about turnaround times, personally I'd wait and if I didn't hear something tomorrow (Tues.) I'd give them a call on Wednesday. But that's just me.
I started the application process, but when they
asked for my social security number on the application, I decided not to pursue it. I don't want to give my SS# unless I'm hired.
I had a very bad experience through the application process.

Went through all testing, passed, had phone interveiw, the told me the liked what they saw, spent over an hour on the phone with the girl, and then she said she would send computer specification info and schedule form,  filled out the schedule and sent it back, and went to buy the computer....


Never heard from them again.  Called, only got voice mail, sent several e-mails over the course of 2 weeks, then I took another job (thanks Encompass... I like my new job), and about 2 months later, I heard back from them saying that they just got my e-mails...  HUH? 


GOOD LUCK...


Congratulations! I found the hiring process
quick, efficient and rather pleasant. I took the test on July 3, and was hired on July 5 after my references were checked. I have found everyone to be professional and courteous. The equipment came right away. I've been paid on time, and my account has never run out of work. I'm part-time also; I don't miss nights and weekends. Finally, I'm left in peace to work and don't spend all day reading and answering e-mails. So far, quite good. Welcome aboard!
$1.35 per 1000 characters. hiring process is too sm
daggone long.  they SNAIL MAIL you a tape to transcribe for testing.  DUH!!!!!
Webmedx hiring process - how long?
Once you know you've passed, any idea how long it takes them to get back with you with an offer?

thanks :)
Do they have both a written and verbal testing process? Thank you. nm

Obviously slow in the hiring process. Applied last
week and not a word. I assure you, I am a GREAT MT, and really am surprised not to even hear 1 word other than the format response email. I have since tested and interviewed with 2 other companies, and really can't sit and wait to see if WMX happens to notice my app.
If an MT takes time to go through the testing process...
MTSOs should take the time to respond, even if it's an auto-response, letting the MT know that either they did not cut the mustard or that the position was filled already. It's the decent thing to do. That's the benefit of computers. It's not the personal touch most would prefer, but it sure beats sitting around waiting for an answer.
I think taking the test now will speed up the process.

It has  a place for you to submit resume, so they have resume and test together.  If you haven't heard anything in a couple of days call.


I was offered a job the same day; didn't take it, but process was quicky. nm
f
Sten-Tel in Mass. and their testing process
I need a 2nd job really bad.  I have worked for Sten-Tel in Mass. before and know that they do not require you to work any certain hours and do not have a minimum line count for you to meet.  They also pay on time.  I applied to them and went through their entire testing process.  I finished this last Friday.  By Monday evening, I hadn't heard anything so I emailed human resources asking for an update.  No reply.  So, I emailed again Tuesday and I finally got a reply back saying that my test was received and that it takes 5-7 business days for me to get an answer and the human resources person said she should have an answer by today.  I wait all day and hear nothing.  I email her again asking about the status and I do not get a reply.  This is really irritating me.  I know I did good on the test.  I don't understand why it is so hard to get back with someone.  Should I just say forget it and try to find somewhere else?  I really don't know of any other companies that are very lenient with the schedule and have no minimum line requirements.  If you know of any, please email me and let me know. 
Transcend hiring process question. (sm)

Yes, I know they outsource, but I also shop at WalMart...


Could someone please tell me what to expect from time application submitted, testing sent in, until you hear anything and what might I expect?  TIA.
