I have known this for a long time; that is why I NEVER respond to an email from ANYONE on this board

because it will identify your email address when you return their email. When they ask me to talk via email, I just don't respond to them. NO RETURN EMAIL FROM ME.

How long does it take TransTech to respond to
..
Wish they'd respond to my email and resume.
Took the test, did everything right and it's now been three weeks. After 15 yrs of experience, I know I did fine on the test. Guess they aren't hiring.
How long does it take Webmedx to respond to an on line app? (sm)
Just sent it off Friday, so I guess it could take a couple of days. I am just ready to make the leap and I think I am leaning towards this company. They sound pretty good from their ad and I see few/if any negative posts about them.
Just curious how long the whole process will take from application to testing to potential hiring and beginning work. Any input?
How long does it take Webmedx to respond to an on line app? (sm)
Sent in the initial application, got an immediate E-mail with some different questions on it which I submitted 2 days ago.
Really want to work for this company part time for now, possibly full time later.
Any info appreciated.
Do you know how long it typically takes them to respond to resumes sent in?

Send me an email and I will respond. I'm packing up and getting the**** out of Dodge. nm

Public board. I am free to respond to any post.

There are so many hits on the job board for jobs that I wonder if people are qualified that respond
or just send in a resume if they are not. Would be interesting to hear from some of these companies what type of response they are getting.
Give them time, they will respond.
I wish you all the best!!
(Past employee for personal reasons only)
Thanks for taking the time to respond! nm

Don't have time to respond right now, but feel
free to e-mail and I'll answer some time tonight. I've been told by someone else that the only positions they are hiring for currently are 10-hour shifts Friday-Monday, 2nd and 3rd shift.
Thanks guys for taking the time to respond to my post. I'll go with the State job if offered.
I may do some PT/IC a couple days of the week just to keep my skills up and just in case they offer the lower rate of pay.
Gonna miss you Guys. Thanks for all your help.
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.
I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
Not sure if this board is long enough.. LOL... sm
Very often you'll hear horror stories from MTs about a certain company.. and then 10 minutes later you'll hear others tell you how "wonderful" that same company is. In my opinion they pretty much all stink to one degree or another. But as in your case, if a company pulls that bait and switch nonsense, I'm out the door. Actually, I've been out several doors this year.... mmm.. think it's my attitude?? LOL!! So I'd like to hear about any companies that are upfront and honest if there is such a thing. No recruiters allowed !!!!
Is there an MDI private board? There used to be 1 long ago, but
I don't know if it still exists. Thanks.
Then email that too! I want a clean board and I think Adm does too!
XXXXX
Actually, I sent you an email through your ad on the company board. Thanks! nm
I'm coming on board wtih MDI/MD, have to have unlimited long distance, BUT...
my local telephone service offers that for $24.95/month. Since I'm coming from Medquist, I figured I'll be making that up almost entirely in one DAY!!!! and I had to pay my Internet for me anyway, I'm an addict with four domains of my own, LOL!
As long as you don't designate it as a company sponsored board I would think they wouldn't car
Since discussion about OSI cannot remail CIVIL on this board, you will now need to take it to email.

Bye Bye Birdie. Could you email me too. I've been watching the board and interested in your findi
since I also have been on the job search from you know where. I would be interested in any information you would want to share.
I have been an MT for a LONG time but
stupid old old Medrite and DOS. I just find the lines super super hard to get! My QA scores are fine, but my counts suck :( I keep building my Expander hoping it will come around but it looks hopeless. I am very discouraged.
To long time MGr no more
Mine was a chronic illness that has improved with treatment; still, I can see how HR discrimination might possibly get in the way.
I would love the flexibility. Where can I find out more about what IC status is? I have some vague idea, but no real idea of serious pros and cons. Thanks so much for your reply!
They did a long time ago
I worked at OSi a couple years ago and they used to have a supervisor who would tell people to do that but she quit working there. She told at least three people that. I heard they don't do that anymore but maybe not, she was the only one. They always had the disclaimer if you have line/time to make up in email's. Funny because she and I both work at the same company now but she is just MT at this company.
no, long time, don't let them get you down --
They're bad, not you. You know they treat(ed) us like nothings. It's not the profession, it's that particular company. Shop around, find someone better. FN's strategy is to belittle everyone and make them scrape for work. Do like me, pick up your toys and go somewhere else. Also, on the way out, be sure to get in your digs and burn that bridge. They do not deserve us. My new short-term goal: Bash FN and show them for the money-grubbing rats they are.
I have been an MT for a very long time
I'm 37. I raised my kids doing this on-site and from home simultaneous; my kids are 14 and 9. I worked long hard hours. I still work hard. I don't have a zone and I hop up and down from my desk so as not to make my body work so hard at this, but I make good money and I get to stay at home. I also get to see all events my children are involved in. I take a day off whenever I want, and yes I have my own accounts. Please don't be fooled by this 24-hour TAT. Most practices do not require that strict TAT if you have your own accounts. It is the online companies requiring this TAT because that's how they get their big clients. They promise big and most times cannot deliver.
Braggin? Naah... I call it knowing how to manipulate and manage my time to benefit myself. I've never taught MTs and have no desire; I hated cross training on-site and still hate teaching. I'm just not good at it.
I'm an IC, so it's my way or the highway!!! 
That's a really long time.
The company I work for sends out the checks on Monday and I get them on Wednesday, sometimes Tuesday if I'm really lucky.
I have been there a long time
Pay always on time. Various platforms, not just Spantel, which is a little cumbersome but not awful. I have NEVER had work taken away from me and thrown in the trash after it was assigned to me. Management now much better. Seems wrinkles have been ironed out, which is always needed in any growing company. Very happy there.
Long-Time MT-NY
You betcha we do! Here is the link. I hope we are allowed to post links here. If not, the mods can take it down and I will apologize. This has tons of stuff made in the good old US of A!

Yes, a long time ago when I used to get
my checks mailed, now I always opt to have direct deposit for that reason. I remember the owner of the company had to stop payment on that check and issue me another one. It didn't take that long, but like you, we needed the money. Maybe you can ask them to re-issue you a check and then send it FedEx or next day delivery since this puts you in a bind, or can they trace your check and see where it is? Sorry to hear your news, I hope you get your money very soon :)
i have been doing asr for a long time now
i think one of the very first accounts to start it, so the recognition is very good on my account. Also, I speed up the dictator at least 1 or 2 steps but i do listen to every word. the only other thing i do is not use the mouse much and use the ShortHand macros for editing that are posted on community page. i don't mind asr. I would take an all-ASR account over no work any day.
Its a lie, they were both in MT industry long time before they met

Ummm....I have been with MDI a LONG time
I know a lot of MDI MTs and everyone I know says how many lines they will do on any given day, but they are NOT required to work specific hours. As I said, I've been with MDI a long time and before that I was with Signal, which was also Dorothy's company, and it worked the same way.
I worked for MQ for a very long time. sm
I really loved working for them until the recent changes, and I agonized over my decision to leave. Now that it is done and over with, I can honestly say that I feel I made the right choice. However, now I find myself desperately searching for that job that I can settle into and be happy with, and hopefully outdo my 8 years with MQ. I definitely don't enjoy changing jobs.
I worked for them a long time ago.
Left in 2003. They were nice enough to work for. Not sure how it is now.
I also have known her for a long time and that just does not sound like her IMO. nm

Been MT'ing a long time.......
In the good old days companies were smaller and run by managers that were actually MTs and could relate to their employees. Now most have been replaced by managers with business degrees, little or no MT experience, and a corporate mentality. It is sad.
I e mailed them a long time ago and

I got their info -- seems to take a long time (sm)
to receive the first pay.
The hospitals take a long time with IDs sometimes. I know that the sm
account I am lead on takes anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks. It is a source of frustration for the management team as HR hires because of a need and then the hospital takes forever. Not all accounts though. Some are same day.
This was a long time ago, Since DD was put in place, there have
been no problems. It has been in place for over 2 years now. Why would you bring something up from years ago? You forgot to mention that they sent out the bank letter to everyone that it was not a bounce but that a deposit had not cleared yet and the fact that they covered everything immediately. Tell the whole story if you are going to open your mouth at all. No work? You're nuts. They have more work than anywhere I have ever worked. What's the real story?
I have not seen them advertise in a long time.
I have never heard anything negative about them to my recollection though.
I have not seen them advertise in a long time.
I know their recruiter left and I really have not seen any ads. They do have a banner on this site though.
Any long-time Amphion MTs out there? HELP!
Where's the work?!? I'm hoping to get some straight answers from some other MTs (i.e., not management). I'm a newbie (less than 2 months) who was hired to be full time and for the 4th week straight I'm lucky to get 4 or 5 hours a day! They keep saying it will get better but I'm getting less work than ever! Has anyone else experienced this? How long were you all on mandatory overtime before the workload suddenly plummeted? I decided to work here because everyone on the message boards said how great Amphion was and how there was always tons of work and the people were so wonderful. Yeah, the people are great and nice and professional and everything, but sadly that is not going to pay my bills next month. Maybe I should look for a 2nd part-time job to complement this one!!
How long does this slow time last. nm
:
Been with SS for a long time. Things are getting better and better.
All of management has been working very hard to improve things and I have seen big changes with a lot more to come. So far all of these are to benefit the employees.
you're not alone - been doing this a long time
but every slow down, expected or not, causes anxiety - I think we all feel more anxious now than we used to because we know the work is being done electronically and offshore. I got a second job just to try to save money for the lean times and emergencies. Only one provider in this household - nervewracking! I think you hear a little anxiety in the other posters' replies too - they are trying to reassure themselves in the process. This holiday seems to be worse than I remember it, this is more like Christmas and Thanksgiving! People must be really taking off! Imagine that.
How long from the time you submitted
your resume until they called you?
Long-Time MT, you're so very right ...
I'm one of the MT's still on straight transcribing and after having my primary transferred to PI and having the majority of decent work either going to ASR or being outshored I'm struggling every day just to try to make a below minimum line count. My paychecks have been nothing short of pitiful. It's so frustrating.
