Still waiting for your response Georgie Poo
Let's hear it girlfriend. What gives? Maybe MTReviews.org doesn't even have any clients. Kinda hard to hire MTs when there are no clients. Or, do you expect us to send a resume as well as find you the client? Hmmmmmmmmm.

Some of us on this site have been around the block more than a few times.
Yes, I did e-mail Lee. Im still waiting for a final response. nm

Resume response

I am having a horrible time getting lines in my current job, and I have sent out my resume to AT LEAST 10 companies with no response.  I have 11 years' experience!


Is anyone else having difficulty finding a position?  Im about to pull out my hair!!!!


Resume response.

I sent a resume to Keystrokes and 2 days later I received a questionaire.  I promptly completed it and returned. 


 I received no further correspondence. I would have preferred no response  at all.  The return of the questionaire was never acknowledged  with even a generic rejection or keep your name on file etc.


I understand  companies  cannot employ every person who sends a resume.   I had read so many positive things about Keystrokes such as I love it,  they are great etc I was disappointed they did not at least respond.


I thinks it demonstrates a total lack of courtesy.


Agree or disagree?


 


 


resume response

Thanks for your suggestions!


 I am not sure I made the point clearly though.


A lack of respone to a resume would not upset me because it was unsolicited. It was the lack of respone to a questionaire THEY sent me.


I also followed up numerous times over several weeks with appopriate thanks etc.


 


 


 


 


Resume response

Hi KS lead! I did not mean to hurt your company's reputation. I was merely tyring to help someone by letting them know of my experience. I have read mostly positive things about Keystrokes and I am sure it is a good company.


The only way I have of knowing my response would be received would be if my email bounced back but it did not.  Followup attempts  also were neither returned to my mailbox or acknowledged by Keystrokes.


Now I am going to drop it and I hope you will too. I PROMISE never to state my opinion again.

That does not mean I should or should not get a response to my resume for a job opening. Please - y

I've sent my resume and gotten no response at all. nm

Abbicorp--Did anyone ever hear from them. I sent a resume and NO response.

What's up with that.. LOL


Do you think you get a better response to post your resume on here or answer ads on here. Which one
seems to give the best result. 
Anyone else have problem getting response to resume submission?

There was an ad placed on August 29.  I submitted my resume to them on September 1.  I had some questions and received a response on September 4.  I have sent 2 emails (one on Thursday and one on Friday) since then stating that I would like to talk with her about testing for their company.  I have yet to receive a response.  I have offers from a few others companies, but I really want to speak to this one first.  I have 15 years experience in a multitude of specialities.  I can't imagine that they wouldn't be interested in at least having me test for them.  Am I being too impatient or should I take a hint that they aren't interested?


I've considered emailing again, but it makes me feel like a stalker or something.  I also looked up their website and thought about calling.  However, their ad didn't list the phone number, so I'm assuming they wish not to have calls.  Today is my day off and would be the perfect time to test.


Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 


Thank you!


hi karen, i sent out a resume and got a response, but not working for them yet. ad on job board. nm

Has anyone who sent a resume to TypeToo in response to their ad for a psych MT heard back from them

Sent resume-no response in 2 weeks, nothing, nada, ziltch-20 year veteran of MQ??????
Does seem professional to me to not even answer-would love to talk to someone because I too have heard it is a great place to work!!
Don't be watching and waiting. Been there for years and never any type of acknowledgement...nm
nm
No response either with 16 years experience, but...
from what I hear these says...other than the crappy jobs nobody wants because they pay so bad i.e. Focus, TTD etc.. and whom both advertise constantly, the other job postings are getting anywhere from 300-500 applicants and these companies can be overwhelmed.  If I don't hear anything, I'll be fine. I think it's time to get back out there and pursue my medical billing/coding gig.  That is one industry where the pay and jobs are holding steady in this economy.  I wanted to stay home but the opportunities to make a decent living or having benefits is becoming so rare.  What will these low paying companies do when we all just give up and move on???  
I hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm

How long does it take TransHealth to get back to someone when you send a resume? I sent a resume

Has anyone gotten a job from any company not posting regularly from their resume in the resume

You are doing better than I am. Still waiting...
...on the paycheck. Maybe those 100% gals get the debit cards, and those idjits, like me, who mess up a comma, don't get a debit cardiac?

(Kidding, kidding, antcipating my debit card with high excitement.)
Still waiting on MQ
not getting my hopes up, of course.  Happy MT Week!
Still waiting...
I'm still waiting for mine
Anyone else still waiting for W-2 from DSG?
They said they were sending it out this week.  Sure seems SLOW this year. 
What are you waiting for? Get out now! nm

I'm still waiting.............SM
for someone to reveal how they know that the account has been lost.  There appears to be at least one individual who enjoys starting rumors of QT's demise on this board, and we have survived these rumors before.  If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me.  I'm not leaving my job based on what appears to most of us to be pure rumor, at least to the majority of employees.  If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me.  Thanks.
You will be waiting until the 15. They
do not process your check the day you send in your time sheet.
waiting...
It would be considerate of them to at least let us know what is going on. They have not said one word about going to VR with any of the accounts. I have been with them for years and it's very unprofessional of them to ignore us and expect us to just sit back and wait until they have work for us to do. Yes it is a slow time of year, but FN has been slow across the boards for the last 8-10 months now, even with picking up new accounts. How does that make sense?
waiting
Why wait that long...would email or call, things get lost and forgotten especially this time of year, at least you would know instead of waiting and wondering...
Waiting here too
impatiently, I might add (LOL) . . . just my personality. I wonder how long it will take to hear back. I know she is busy, but hopefully we'll know soon since she is looking to hire quickly.

I had some trouble with #1 also.
I'm not waiting around for them to get their act together sm
My bills won't wait until they get another account or whatever it is they are planning on doing. My bills aren't tolerating this cut in salary, either. I have to think of me and my family. I have juggled everything as much as I can juggle it and now I am making the decision to get out. I can't stand doing 12 hour days for a bare minimum paycheck.
Also waiting
Yes, I also thought it has been strangely quiet. The first week after the announcement, there were e-mails asking for our input and questions, and now nothing. I hope the early signs of willingness to work with us and keep things that are working don't just die on the vine.
waiting for work

For anybody that has worked with transform..............Have you have experienced this. I have been waiting for work to be asigned to me for four hours. Yes, they asign work to you......................I have been with this company for two weeks. I made a mistake, I put the wrong date of service on a report...............................So I am wondering if this is the reason why my e-mail has not been answered, nor my phone calls, nor AOL messenger.  I have not made mistakes with medical words, at least that I know (although I have not gottent a lot of feedback). I have been transcribing in this particular speciality for 7 years, so I don't think I made huge mistakes.


Have anybody experienced this?


I'm waiting for them to take the spaces
xx
Waiting for mine too. sm
Not to scare you, but it took 6 weeks to get my first one. I was shorted on both checks too. Were we supposed to get paid the 15th? They are always late so I do not know.
I have been waiting all night for - sm
someone to say that. I feel better already!
WAITING FOR WORK!!!

In your response to FutureNet.  I am currently working for them. It is a good company, easy platform, great people, but I am waiting for work as I type.  I think they have over-hired, we are now caught up and out of work.  Doesn't pay the bills!


Soon to be in the poor house


Waiting for work
Do you have other accounts with FN? I have four and if work is REALLY low I wait and do work for the other service I am employed with. We have several new accounts coming on and some of them are still in the testing stage. But it is also that time of the year.
Waiting for work
I also have 4 different accounts that I can work on, so running out of work doesn't happen very often for me. 
I think it's a yes to all. I use ShortHand. Waiting to be set up for the

Thanks! I'm waiting for W2s from Precyse and MQ, as well. nm

Waiting to see what rates are!
Wow, $400 a month is higher than I'm paying now and I thought it was high! I currently pay $340 a month for family but the coverage is very good. I did hear that they have a new rate plan coming in. I will wait to see what I hear from this change. I have to have good insurance. My husband does have some health issues.

One last question....can someone tell me how soon insurance starts when you hire on with Keystrokes? Do you have to wait 3 or 6 months or does it go in effect on Day 1? My current job insurance went into effect Day 1. But they are outsourcing some to India starting this month and I'm afraid we may all be out of jobs soon. Doesn't look good. I may check into the plan to just purchase myself and not have to worry about changing jobs, etc.

Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.

Waiting for Future-Net

About a week ago I received an email from Future-Net stating I had passed all the testing and a recruiter would be contacting me....I am still waiting a week later.  Is this normal for them?


TIA


still waiting on my paycheck
this company is a joke
still waiting on my check from TTS
@#$%&
Still waiting for an answer.
I did all my testing and had my phone interview with the recruiter and Jean but have not heard anything back.  Last communication was on Monday.  They seemed really intrigued as I said I would work 6 hours on Monday and Friday and 4 or more on Saturday and Sunday.  Should I call them or just keep waiting?  I have lots of experience with ESL's and currently work in an acute setting.  Seemed like everything they wanted to hear.  How long does the hiring process normally take? Thanks in advance.
still waiting for computer to come
here.  Just trying to get some understanding of platform before starting. 
Patiently Waiting...
I can tell you that I have applied with nearly 30 places--and I'm starting to regret it!!

I researched each and every company before I applied, so I'm sure that I applied for great companies. But now I'm being bombarded with requests to test and emails and phone calls.

I've had several offers, most of them very promising, so it will be fairly hard to decided.

The downside is that there are still about 15+ companies who stated on their website that it can take a week or two to get that first contact from a recruiter. So if I accept one of these job offers in the next few days, I think I'm still going to be getting bombarded with phone calls and emails and testing requests.

Of course, I'm not complaining in a bad way!! I'd rather have it this way than no phone calls at all. My first response came within 24 hours and I even received a response today from an application that I put in on Monday of this week.

I don't know if any of this answers your questions, but I hope it at least helps you a little...
I'm still waiting on work
this morning but haven't had anything come up for over an hour.
Yes, I did. I was waiting to hear from...
MQ, but so far no word from them. USAMedTran got back to me first, so I accepted the job. They told me I would only need a foot pedal and Microsoft Word. From what I have read, this company is pretty known for hiring newbies or MTs with minimal experience. This is why I applied there. Money is not my biggest priority right now - I am 22-years-old and live at home. I do need any experience I can get though, so I'm hoping this will go okay. If you want to get in touch with me at any time, my email is ericj1985@gmail.com
Do you all believe there is actually a waiting list...sm
to work for this company (if you can even call it that)? I wonder if they pay through PayPal because of the ease of having payments reversed or chargebacks like on eBay. Anyone who has ever sold on ebay knows PayPal has high fees. The MTSO may have more control with PayPal. Does that make sense?
