and it's not because I don't have experience. I had been with Brand X National for 8 years (you can probably figure out who) when I applied with Spheris, and I never got a response. Sent a second ap, nada. Third ap, still nothing.
Through this whole time period Spheris had want ads scattered all over the net. I'll never, ever understand why they didn't get in touch with me. Their loss....I'm now working for a local company and completely satisfied.

I applied once and received information
I believe it is $15 per hour. There are no benefits. It is independent contractor. The platform is Dictaphone Extext.
Ok, I still haven't received a response, BUT SM
I will go ahead and give the mailing address (instead of the e-mail) since that is public record. Like I said, they are very small and may not be hiring, but I would imagine they would be happy to hold on to your cover letter and resume until such time that they are hiring.

Do you know that the response was received by the office?
Everyone assumes that they are ignored by companies but maybe the resume or response was never received. This could be KS or any other company.
When I was hired 3 years ago, I was contacted immediately.
Now the coordinators are doing the interviewing and they return calls and emails within a few days and then HR takes over, again in a few days.
I would call if you have not heard back.
I applied on Friday and received an email
on Sunday asking about my availability for an interview. I responded on Sunday with totally open availability and I have not heard anything back. What should I make of this?
Did you get hired? Those of us that have applied many times

I had asked this several times, but got no response.
Everyone seemed to love the VR at TT, but no one would give an approximate percentage of VR reports that were 80% to 100% correction. I asked this 3 different times and there were all sorts of responses from TT people after my posts, but yet no one answered this question. So I kind of figured that it was a high amount, so I never applied.
Thanks, already applied, no response...
which is probably a good thing because I found out they don't pay for spaces.
I applied with them with no response and
for five years. Hmmmmm, they must not need help very badly.
I applied, no response as of yet

I've never received these types of emails...
I've seen a few where there is work on the system and asking if anyone wants to hop on and help out, they're welcome to, and once I received an email offering bonus pay for exceeding the line commitment over the weekend if I chose to.
I'm not saying your information is false, because it sounds as if you IC for MDI-MD, but perhaps we're on different MDI accounts with different leads? Would being on one of the acute care accounts versus the clinics make a difference in the email approach?
That's just really odd, the difference in approach taken to the accounts.
Not me. I've received no e-mails from anyone at ProScrip. sm
Which is not unusual, of course, since they aren't very communicative in general.
No. I applied, but I've applied SM
at a lot of places lately. I got an e-mail from a lady whose name starts with an M, but she didn't identify her company in the letter. She had my resume on the bottom of her e-mail, so I know it's someone I applied with, but I don't know which one!! LOL I'm thinking it's The Word Pros. Anyone else apply to The Word Pros and get an e-mail from M?
I'd love to hear information about them as well.
Just Me
I've done that many times. That is how..sm
I got my first job. I applied at a company who didn't have any job ads out. They gave me a test, I passed, and they hired me.
They've only had 2 times that the system....sm
was down several hours. Anywhere you work is going to have unscheduled downtime occasionally.
I think the platform is good and improvements are in the workings to make it even better.
I've had that happen to me a few times...
when I started with a new company about a year ago. But, when I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that my way too was correct, I called the QA on it...and most of the time, I was doing it correctly, just different than they would have done it. However, I conformed to *their* way of thinking, I guess to keep them off my back and finally got used to it. Don't take it too seriously, just do your best and what you know is right. Good Luck...wonder if we work for the same company??? 
I've done that several times in the past. - sm
The alternative (insanity? suicide? homicide?) just isn't worth putting up with all that c_ _ p.
I've been burned so many times
I don't understand what is happening in the MT world today. I've worked as an IC for years, paid my own health insurance, paid my own taxes. I've chosen to work as an IC because I want the flexibility to decide my own schedule. It has always worked for me in the past. Today, however, that is not happening. Companies today who hire ICs as well as employee status are requiring that an IC commit to working a 5-day schedule, Tuesday through Saturday or Sunday through Thursday, specific shift hours, something without doubt beyond the limits of IRS guidelines. If I wanted a schedule such as mentioned, I would sign on as employee status. Let the employee status MTs commit to their shifts. If I make my 1000 or 1200 lines per day, the days I do it, the hours I do it are totally my decision, but I am receiving contracts that require me to work a schedule on a company's dictates, or I am turning down offers as IC status because in the interviewing process I am asked to commit to a schedule as mentioned when the entire purpose of my being an IC is flexibility. Why are they producing these contracts that are totally against IRS guidelines in order to work for them? Sure, they need to know what I will produce, but as an IC, they cannot dictate when and how I will do that.
TIA for your comments. I know I cannot be the only one who is scratching their heads, wondering why be an IC today if the IRS guidelines are ignored. Of course, I don't have to sign any contract, but I'm telling you, this is happening over and over again.
I've got work available at almost all times of the day,
but I am on Lanier accounts. I think the wav accounts have a lot more people on them fighting for the work. Maybe there are people on your accounts doing way above their commitment. That would throw things off all around. Perhaps you should inquire about it. If you try all times of the day and still don't find work available, they should give you another account. Good luck. I know it is frustrating running out of work. I have other accounts that do that and it gets so tiresome. Some days I just hate this whole industry. These tight TATs are the root of all the work flow problems. 
I've said on here several times to always keep current job
nm
It's not that. The few times I've said anything positive, I get blasted
or accused of being a recruiter. That's why I posted what I did. Wasn't trying to be snotty to you. I was just being facetious due to the trolls.
I've done this a couple of times in the past
I had specific questions regarding the platform and Expander program compatiblities, as well as how lines are counted among other issues. As the recruiter did not know the answer to these questions, I was given the name and number of the MT manager to speak with. At least one job I declined based on the manager's responses, not because I thought she did not handle the questions well, but found out enough to know the company was not what I was looking for.
On those occasions where I spoke directly to the MT manager, the companies were very impressed with my knowledge of both MT and word processing/computer issues and ended up wanting me to come to work to a greater degree than I feel they would have if I had not talked to the manager.
I don't think it would be inappropriate to ask. The worst that can happen is the recruiter says no and can't answer your detailed questions. In that case, that company is not a right fit for you.
I've been out of work 2 times today
7 a.m for 1-1/2 hours, and now. I don't count the 1 or 2 reports that slip in. I've worked exactly 3-3/4 hours today in my 8 hour shift.
Don't count on it - I've sent them a resume 2 different times
and have 10 years experience and have never heard a word from them.
I've applied to a few with over 25 years' exp. in
thinking of trying that next time I apply. (And THEN asking for what my work is really worth!) Because even if I only had a few years on the job as an MT, if I'm proficient at it, then there's no reason to settle for chump-change pay. And that's all most MTs get these days. And what happens if your MTSO improves its software and your line count goes up substantially? Then they feel justified in lowering the cpl they're paying. I think the MT business is the most bizarre, dishonest industry this country has, outside of the tobacco industry.
I've sent my resume and gotten no response at all. nm

Anyone heard back from TransHealth? I've applied
I have 25 years of acute care experience and great references. Maybe it's my breath? LOL.
I applied for other positions when they've had them and never heard back. nm

They've been around for years. Some of us old-timers applied long

I've been a QA 15 years, applied to Focus, and was told
that they only hire QA on production now & no longer pay QAs hourly, so I said NO THANKS.
I've heard that no response from managment is getting to be the norm.. sm..
Why did you leave, if you don't mind my asking....
I've heard only positive things about them. So, I applied, but haven't heard a word. Maybe fl

A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.
I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.
I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
Can I asked when you applied? I applied a few weeks ago
and never heard a word and I have over 16 years of experience. I applied because I got a recommendation from a friend of a friend who loves working there..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anymore details other than that. I'm all for even one positive at this point on this frustrating job search. Good luck to you though and check back with us to tell us how the interview went etc. Thanks
What good does it do? They've lied, they've betrayed us.
They've taken all they are going to take from me. I am not going to waste any more time being angry. I hate the way things ended, but I refuse to accept the blame for any part of it because I know that was a lie too, even though they did try to blame the MTs. I know part of the problem was quality issues, but QA wasn't to blame for that either, although they have been.
It is time to pick up and move on. I think mgmt will reap what they sow. For those who worked on the main account Webmedx is still hiring, though the best time slots have already been taken.
What the heck? I've never heard that in the 8 yrs I've worked here. sm
Go back to your STM or over his or her head.
I received one of those once-sm
I read through the whole thing before realizing what the heck this applicant was doing. At first, I thought she accidentally sent me some patient's report!
Yup, you definitely should have received it. It's on 2/29 at 2 PM CST
I would contact Vicky in the office if you never received the e-mail because it is a mandatory conference.
I received from
the old payroll company but not the new.
Any MDI-MD MTs received W2's?
I had mine by this time last year, just wondering if anyone else has rec'd theirs yet, and if I should check into it...
No. The only letter I have received is the
September 2nd letter announcing the upcoming Rewards Plan.
Yes, if ASR pay is being reduced that is a pay cut. It is A pay cut. The above post made implication that there was a pay cut across the board, "... the pay cut ...".
I just don't see a need to be careless with that kind of assumption.
I have received nothing about the ASR reduction. However, I do not do ASR and it may have only gone to those MTs.
At least you received a reply! SM
I tested almost two weeks ago and still no word. I find a lot of the companies just don't ever get in touch anymore. That's just rude! 
You already received 3 answers below .. maybe that's all there is? nm

I'll bet we have the same liason! I really like her and thought it was very thoughtful of her to take the time to do this.
