I heard back from her in 3 days

In Reply to: is that possibly why... - ??
I tested and was asked to interview 3 days after my test. I accepted the position and then received my acceptance later 2 days later. If it's been 3 days, I would probably write and ask about the status of your application. She is pleasant and answered my emails in a very timely manner, which was nice.

I heard back within 3 or 4 days...
and other than low pay, it is indeed a great place to work! They do give quarterly bonuses which helps a bit to cushion the 7 cpl (for clinic work). Good luck. 
I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
Tested there 10 days ago and never heard a word back..guess I failed! nm

Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
Has everyone heard back from Keystrokes yet regarding the email we received a while back?
Just wandering why I haven't heard any response yet.
I sent them an email back in August and never heard back sm
Is this company on Long Island? I checked out their website and even tried calling once. Were you successful in contacting them? All i know is that the company is owned by some doctors.
Hopefully, you will hear back. Unfortunately, I immediately heard back from MD-IT
but somehow with over 16 years of experience, I blew the test. I was soooo disappoionted and yet pretty stunned. I am by no means perfect but I haven't flunked a test in years. I expected it in my early years but not this far down the road. I was so confident and they will not tell you which part you did not pass and why so it really just blew my mind. I must have been in shock for like two hours after I got the email. Oh well, someone will want me....hopefully. I was thinking about OSi but I don't think I could take another rejection if I never heard back.
It took them 2 to 3 days to get back to me after
testing. I never interviewed, just submitted the test and they e-mailed me with an offer. The testing goes through QA, so if there are doing another hiring blitz there may be a backlog. I knew I had done well on the testing and really thought I'd hear from the sooner, but was told testing was hung-up in QA.
I think it's because back in the old days, when -
this was considered a 'good' job, many of us (myself included) felt we didn't NEED a union. Now, looking back, I think that if we'd had one back when things were better, our profession wouldn't be in the sorry state it's in today.
The other reason is that for the most part, the average MT is usually less of a 'joiner' than lots of folks, and harder to convince they need a union. Also, since MTs are usually women, employers have found us easy to belittle, intimidate, and insult with puny, ever-shrinking wages.
I'm sure most of us, back when few of us had our own PCs, were being told constantly by our employers that we were 'lucky to have a job at all' - (remember that little speech?) I'm sure you all heard it at one time or another.
We are usually isolated, as well - either at home or cloistered away in an area away from the main part of the hospital, or even sometimes completely offsite. That isolation makes it even easier for employers to feed us all the bull they've been feeding us for so many years, all the while sending our work offshore to make even more of a profit, and then patting each other on the back for cutting our wages and our benefits.
Now that we have the Internet, with all its information, and MT forums like this one, I think we should use this powerful tool to unite and start to speak as one large, powerful group, instead of lots of insignificant individuals. In that way, we just might be able to draw public and political attention to what's been going on.
The healthcare industry is ALREADY under a lot of scrutiny lately for lots of OTHER shady goings-on that it's been involved with. The whole MT mess, with poor-quality records being produced for the sake of profit, private personal records going to god-knows-where, etc., needs to be brought to the attention of all those who are lobbying against the healthcare industry's practices up on Capitol Hill.
They got back with me within a couple of days. nm
It took about 10 days after testing for them to get back to me. nm

I was off QA in 2 days, have never had a report sent back to me....
have worked for this company for 2 years and have been an MT for 6 years. Before that, maybe a handful of reports sent back in the previous 4 years.
I want the old days of transcription back!
Thanks for the rely.
In my 30 years of transcription, 28 of them I have loved,I was proud to be an MT even with the addition of ASR -- I can't say I really like it, but you know you grow and learn with the times and sometimes its for the better. Sorry to say, though, I am sad to see so many unhappy MTs now. Our jobs are now based on line counts and perfections of comas, etc, and not necessarily the integrity of the report that you will be paid for, or for that matter the difficulty of the doctor.
I always felt that transcription could see me into my golden years, and my knowledge that I have required through those years would better any company I might work for. I am sad to say that transcription is now just money, like the rest of big business and the integrity of MTs is at stake. I am so sad for my career which I thought I never would be. I don't want to leave this field but I have been nitpicked to death, moved to practically every region and hospital in the US (lost count after 100) and cheated out of a decent wage long enough. The last two years I have put up with hoping it would get better and it hasn't. Looking at other companies and they seem to all be the same, greed and money is what motivates then and nothing trickles down to the MT. These big companies, like MQ, have not yet realized the terrible mistake they have made and when they do all the good, old loyal ones will be gone. They have forgotten who makes the revenue for their company. It is the MT. If we are not typing, there would be no QAing, no Leader, no nothing.
Sorry, to go off but my last straw has been broken.
Never heard of it, my contract says 10 days.

I got mine back in maybe 2 days. They've been
running an ad so may be swamped. I didn't take the position because I found out they offshore and what the recruiter told me and the team leader told me were 2 totally different things about the account they wanted me to work on.
If you are going to get it back to them in 2 days, you should charge BIG buck. But from what I

Back in the days of YOG FN didn't have a good
name either. Your post shows just how unprofessional FN is and surely does not entice anyone to apply with your company. Even if what the person posted is not true, you could have chosen to take the high road, but instead you took the low road.
look back a few days.. LONG post about this
4 days since submitting resume - have heard nothing
nm
I so totally relate! I go back to the days of mag-cards,
I took a Wang course at the local Jr. College because my boss said they were getting one. Suffered through a year of typical school garbage: a semester of 'The History of Word Processing'; a semester of classroom work for Wang information; then another semester of lab -- made all the more exasperating because the PC I'd been assigned to kept breaking down on my lab nights. Ah, yes. The good old days.
But at least back then, a person could rent an apartment and fill their refrigerator on what we were paid. Remember that? Nowadays it's nothing but a distant memory...............
Just scroll back several days and search the pages for webmedx. nm

x-press - it's not all that great - heard they are paying late these days also

Never Heard Back
I sent a resume to Acetera, got a call back from a recruiter, who offered me a job and I accepted. They were supposed to get back to me regarding software, training, etc. and nothing at all.
Has anyone ever heard back from them? (sm)
Test is very difficult because of exceptionally poor audio quality. Try the 7-day Bytescribe free trial as ExpressScribe isn't good enough for these files.
I already heard back and was sent...sm
contract and such. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything good/bad about them.
Here is what I do and have always heard back.
I send in resume and will get response to please take their test and return it to them. Instead, I reply back that I would be more than happy to test but do not want to waste their valuable time grading my test if it is going to turn out we are not a good fit for each other and would they mind answering a few questions first. I then ask what is pay, is it hourly or cpl and if cpl how is line calculated. I ask if they have direct deposit and when would I get first check. I don't ask a bunch of questions, just the ones that to me will determine first and foremost if this is a company I am interested in. Have never not gotten answers to my questions and when I do get answers, if I am not interested, I send email thanking them for taking the time to answer but I don't think their company is what I am looking for and I am sure they will have no problem filling the position (even if I think there is no way in hell anyone in their right mind would work for them, lol.)
i heard back....
I heard back but only to ask me for my resume and that was on Thursday. I have not heard back from them since.
With me, it was only a day before I heard back from them - SM
That was last February, though, and they have grown a lot and have gotten much busier since then. I don't think it would hurt at all to give them a call just to sort of touch base with them.
Heard back one day after
I applied via phone call.
I also heard back within a day or two... sm
It never hurts to contact them and verify they got your information. Everyone I've dealt with there is very nice and never seemed bothered by or rude because of an inquiry. Good luck!
Has anybody heard back from Oracle? sm
I accepted a position with Oracle about a week ago and faxed my paperwork to them but haven't heard back. They said they would be contacting me. Has anyone recently accepted a position with Oracle and heard back from them?
Thanks
I haven't heard back from them yet. (sm)
Does it seem to take a long time to hear back from them? I went to the website, filled that info. out and the test last week. Do they pay more than 9 cpl?
Have any of you heard back from PMSI? I'm also having a bit of a

If you haven't heard back from her she will
contact you. She is a sweetheart. She's just really busy right now. Try giving her another call or email. I am also employed by Transcribe it Quick.
I heard back immediately
I got a one sentence email saying I didn't have enough experience. Must be pretty difficult work. I have been typing all work types for 19 years, especially psych and radiology..the two on the list. I have also done ESL in every job I have ever been employed. Oh well, asked her to keep my name in the barrell!
I heard back the next day. I wouldn't really
bother with them. I thought that maybe they represented companies that might not post to the job boards and who might offer better than most jobs - like a headhunter. After their testing they put me in touch with a company that regularly posts on the job boards and who currently have an ad running. I had recently turned down an offer with this same company. There was no difference in pay in what I was offered going through TM than I did going directly through the company. TM said they could sometimes negotiate a higher rate, but it didn't happen.
I think the company is only 2 people and I don't think it is a FT job for either one of them - at least that is the impression I got. Since they have a current ad maybe they have been swamped with resumes.
After you test with TM you still have to test again and if you don't get more $ you're better off applying to companies yourself and at least you won't have to go through an additional round of testing and interviews.
I don't know how long this post will last as in the past any post that doesn't portray them in a positive fashion gets deleted.
I applied and heard back (sm)
They responded almost instantly with an e-mail that said to send a Yahoo IM (instant message) to their address. I e-mailed back that I did not have an IM account, and could we just discuss via e-mail, and then I never heard anything again. Really makes me wonder how legit they are...
I did the same questionnaire and never heard back either. nm
nm
I applied there and just heard back
I don't know a whole lot because I am waiting to start but pay is 9 cpl (even though the ads say 9-10) and they use ChartScript. You also must be incorporated because they are only hiring for contract work at this time. No set schedule. Hope this helps a little.
Hi, heard back same day....this was for radiology,right?......nm
nm
I heard back from them the day I sent my resume in. sm
I have not received my paperwork yet, but will be starting to work for them on a part-time basis. The work is all cardio -- mostly clinic notes, correspondence, echos, etc. They seem to be a good company, but I guess they all do when they are hiring you. We'll see .........
I sent a resume to them but never heard back.
nm
I tested and heard back once
I tested for them, heard back and they asked me to finish taking another part, which was clinic, as I did so well with their acute care, and then never heard another thing back. Very weird to say the least.
Same here, I havent heard back yet. nm

I heard back the next day, but that was in October
Guess it just depends on the recruiter and how urgently they need MTs.
I did. Haven't heard anything back. You? nm
