But, they really did not provide much information. I e-mailed asking for the range of compensation and platform information since the test they want completed is pretty involved. I never heard anything from them. Are that many really willing to spend an hour or more testing without the most basic of information being given? I really did not think it was asking too much. Makes me wonder ... either enough MTs are willing to test first, find out later or the company is not comfortable enough with what it has to offer to include it in the ad or respond to an e-mail. Oh well.

Yes, my friend wanted me to apply there
too but I was worried about it for some reason. I am really concerned now that I hear there are layoffs, as she is the sole provider for a big family.
not likely do any good to apply, she is PT & wanted FT nm

Did you apply for an MT position or the
MT trainer position. I haven't heard anything since I applied last week. I applied for the trainer position.
ha! and when you apply for a QA position
but never call you back, even after salary and schedule are discussed!!! No wonder their QA backlog is so horrendous
Anyone else apply with Webmedx for th ortho position?
Just curious on whether any had heard back. Ten years of ortho experience and no reply.. Maybe they filled it
Anyone else apply at ATS for an orthopedic MT position and get this bizarre,
obviously form letter that you did not have enough experience, even though you have over 15 years of MT experience, with over 10 of that doing orthopedics. I think it is pretty lame to send out an inappropriate form letter that is way off the mark. Tell me you've filled the position or just not interested but do NOT bother telling me that I do not have enough experience. Of course, I had to ask them, Just how much experience were you looking for, 10 years is not enough? Sometimes, this business scares me. I was just curious as to whether anyone else got this bizarre form letter when they applied.
Why don't you TRY listing them,
the reasons that VR is so great. Bet you can't think of a thing, can you?
Thought so.
company listing
I know there is a site that lists MT companies but I did not bookmark it. Can anyone tell me that site please? Thanks
I don't see any job listing for them on either this site or
the other one. Am I missing something?
I could only find a business listing - sm
Here is a link - search the page for their listing, it's near the bottom of the page.

Gearplayer on E-bay with one hour to go and only $2.50!! SM for listing #
For those that may not know, Gearplayer is a program that plays voicefiles. The I just bought my Gearplayer in August and it was $90.00. Mine is the newer version 3.3.4. The one listed is a 2.6 version, but you can install the upgrades off the computer. It's in perfect condition. The listing number is below. Good luck!

I noticed their listing on the job board...
and was just wondering about them. Searched the archives and found nada.
When I clicked on the web site for the job listing at
Vision Infonet Inc that is listed on the Job Seeker's Board, my antivirus program would not let me go any further because the site was apparently trying to download a Trojan horse virus onto my computer. BEWARE!!!
Data Entry Specialist job listing?
Does anyone know anything about the data entry specialist job listing on the job board? Is this one of those scam or is it a real job? I applied for it, but have not heard anything yet. Has anyone here heard anything about it?
Thanks
Data Entry Specialist Listing
I was wondering if anyone had heard back from this job listing yet? I got an email today from Stanford Executive Recruitment today with the same information as the job listing and so am assuming that is them. They want a $14.00 registration fee so I am smelling SCAM. Just wondering what you all thought or have experienced with this one.
Thanks

Then that distinction needs to be made in this listing of "What All MTs Should be Paid" - sm
There should be a distinction between pay rates for ICs vs those wanting benefits.
11 cpl is not out of range for an IC, but high if you expect me to provide insurance and paid vacation, etc.
Is there a listing anywhere that shows # of employees or size of company? nm )
.
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 :)

Is the AC a salaried position or hourly? If the position is salaried, there is
no such thing as overtime, at least not at any places I've worked. I've been in salaried positions before and you work until the job is done or delegate it to someone you know will get it done. Only hourly employees are subject to OT pay.
Thanks for saying what I wanted to say...
We are not the same as Transcend, although we both are good companies. We care about MTs... and I would love to know who the posters are that claim differently.
As Liz says below -- e-mail her or give her a call.
I just wanted to say that I don't believe the
Indian worker is trying to destroy the American dream, they are trying live it. Blame should go to the companies who are taking the work and sending it overseas, not the workers who are given an opportunity to better their life situation. This doesn't mean I agree with off-shoring, I just think blame for the dying of the American MT profession is sometimes misplaced.
I have been following this and I wanted SM
to say that it might not be that you were the only one this happened to---a lot of people just see the $ coming out of the paycheck and don't think they have to confirm that the plan holder got it (because the company should be more trustworthy).
The way these companies are now, it's probably a better thing if you take the check they gave you and found an IRA to invest in yourself. You can also arrange to contribute to it throughout the year (although it will be after-tax money, but you will be able to claim the contribution at the end of the year and get that tax back) out of your own bank account. The situation that happened to you is unacceptable. You are being far more gracious than I would under the same circumstances.

just wanted to add...
it sounded very familiar to a presentation presented by a former employer YEARS ago. It was a very small local MTSO, and he was reworking the pay scale in order to cover other expenses. He showed us a pie chart of what a huge chunk MT wages took out of the total revenue (DUH -- would you HAVE revenue without us) and mentioned how we could increase our wages by becoming more productive (the latter, I believe, was mentioned more than once in the DRC/Acusis presentation -- read: don't count on making your current wage -- but you'll be able to offset that by increasing your productivity -- HA). We didn't get the pie chart in this presentation, but it was clear they want a good portion of their revenue to go to research and development.
I'm cautiously optimistic -- I would LOVE to switch careers but at my age it's impossible -- I know because I have tried. Once you have worked at home doing this for X number of years, you basically don't qualify for anything else unless you wish to flip burgers. A friend asked: Can they really cut your wages? And i explained how the lovely world of MT CAN and DOES do that: I predict in this case, it will be: We are switching to a different way of counting lines, and we will adjust your pay per keystroke appropriately. And LO AND BEHOLD, when you crunch the numbers, you will notice that your pay has been appropriately adjusted DOWNward.
Did you tell them you wanted to do OPs and they said OK, or just
not check it out at all???
I just wanted to say ....
I have worked for Liz, and she is really great. She was always very understanding and went out of her way to be kind to me. I did not see the ad you guys are referring to, and I understand no one wanting to feel like they are being insulted, but for her to have written something like what I imagine the ad said from what I can gather from your posts, she had to be frustrated. I would totally work for her again.

That's what I wanted to know. Thanks for
your honesty. Anybody else have a different/similar experience?
By the way I wanted to add
I hope that by my initial excitement I did not encourage anyone to make any kind of choice they would regret. If so, I apologize. If you are happy good for you. I was just so excited initially, that maybe I should not have put the post in to influence anyone. Seems like there is an argument going on here and I do not want to say either way. I say interview if you want, ask all of the appropriate questions and then you may check references on a company before you take the job just as easily as they can check yours. If you are a good match, good luck. If not, then good luck in your job search. Not backsliding here, just trying to make amends because obviously you guys wanted a follow up so my comments a few weeks ago must have made an impression. No matter what there is a company out there for everyone, so good luck to all, and I wish only the best.
just wanted to know...
Thanks, but someone posted that if you wanted to see where they worked to check their other posts and you could find out. I don't want to know the identity of people, just if you can find posts of individual people! Does that sound clear as mud to you?!
Also wanted to add (sm)
It is too bad that they do over-hire. Because they are losing a lot of great people who would probably stay the duration of their career if they were able to get their line counts and make money with them. JMO.

you also need to contact the Labor Board. Take any paperwork you have with you--i.e., copy of your contract, etc. If I were in your shoes I would send a letter (cerfified mail, return receipt requested) to them telling them I expected payment in full within five days or I would do all of the above, including the Labor Board. Then DO it.
How do you know what she wanted?
You don't even know her, have not worked with her or walked in her shoes? What kind of a payoff do you get from being so nasty?

Thank you. That it what I wanted to know.
It has been so long since I last applied for a job, I am stressing about everything. Thanks. 
I just wanted to thank everyone for
their responses. There have been some interesting topics raised. I have made my decision today - I'm taking the job offer that I got. It's not that I'm afraid to do VR - I've done it before, and it's not all it's cracked up to be, but it's nice to give your hands a break. I don't agree at all with paying half of your regular line rate for VR. It no way takes half the time for editing than it does for typing (at least in my experience). I would say 75-80% of regular pay would be more fair, but I would still prefer if they paid the same for both VR and typing. To top off the pay cut we've been expected to deal with, there also is no work to do. So that's ultimately what helped me make my decision. I cannot make money if there is no work to do - it doesn't matter if it's editing or typing, No work equals no pay. So with that said, I wish you all luck whether you decided to stay or go.
