Make sure that -mt stars- has a dot beside it. Type in the company name and do a search.
Why Google web? Compile a Stars company-specific list.
Immediately above the first post about 'Dictation 9 cents' whatever, and next to the 'Post New Message' button is a Search box. Use that one and get what you are looking at - only company specific. Why go outside the source? this is much easier.
Is this a Google search or MT Stars search?

Thank you to MT stars
I started with OSi last year then my account coordinator got fired along with a man in technical support. The account has done nothing but flounder since then without a leader. I was fortunately able to find another job thanks to this board. Thank you.
What do the stars mean?
Thank you for posting this list.
Before I go to bed I check MT Stars
Wow. I can really appreciate all of your questions, as I am a transcriptionist.

I am the general manager of MDI and former co-owner of the company.

I am so glad you work for us and honestly, just give me a call tomorrow and I will answer all of your questions.

We are very stable, have been in business since 1972.

Some of our platforms are harder than others, but we do give 40 hours training pay @ $12.00 an hour.

Line counts are usually great. Some are tougher than others, but we try to compensate by paying more.

Dictators - some good, some bad. This is the way it always goes.

WE PAY EVERY TWO WEEKS. We have not missed a payroll since I opened the doors to MDI.

I think our changes are for the better.

We are definitely HERE TO STAY.

Pleae give me a call at the office tomorrow or e-mail me at Liz@medicaldictation.com. I really try not to let my employees down.

Thanks a lot for working for us.

Liz

Try searching MT Stars itself
Instead of Google, try the search for this site. Type in the name of the company and it should bring up information about them. I hope this is what you mean.
MT Stars search...
I haven't looked for it the last few days, but about that same time I posted something and got a response stating MTSOs talked to each other and I shouldn't be talking about the company you are leaving No one but the company I was resigning from knew I was leaving my current employee and I had not pubically discussed the name of my current or prospective employer. I had not disclosed my employment status pubically anywhere on any forum, so how did someone know to say that to me?
re: MT Stars post
Thank you for responding to my post. I would love to which account so I can be on guard (or happy) from the beginning. I am a bit of a workaholic, but I don't want anyone to take advantage of that.

Thank you in advance for your help!

MT Stars is a board
The only thing about a private board is we don't have to hog a public board.
We can't discuss it on MT Stars

Saw an old post of yours on MT Stars
and it reminded me of how you always seemed to have some great thoughts on the state of the MT business these days. Are you no longer posting there? If not, it's too bad.

Anyway, I wanted to get your permission to quote one of your posts verbatim for an article I'm writing. If you're interested, I'll let you know the details.

To help with the anonymity barrier, I can tell you that I'm a regular old MT grunt currently working for Keystrokes, but that has nothing to do with my writing.

Thanks,
Nancy
Search this board and MT Stars
some posts about them not long ago.  Don't remember it being good, but then don't remember much any more.
Do I have this right? MT Stars now supports offshoring?
In reading the revised front page, it appears that, even though staunchly against offshoring, MT Stars now promotes advertising of offshoring companies?  I just want to be clear on this.
So why not change the policy for the All Stars?
OSI All Stars is a joke if there ever was one. Why not demand the same qualifications in order for them to receive this honor?
I wish I had paid attention to MT Stars
I read all the complaints about OSi on here and accepted a job with them anyway which was the biggest mistake of my life.  Then after I was hired they came up with the weird holiday policy.  I will be eligible for the holiday pay because I am past 6 months but since none of those days are on my days off I have to work every single one of them and if we run out of work I won't get paid extra - - - - - but I definitely have my applications in elsewhere so I hope I will be gone in a few weeks.  I truly truly hate this company and never look forward to starting my shift.  And the posts on MT Stars were right about the Q dept.  Everybody says something different and their emails are full of errors including the manager's emails.  I don't know how they hire some of those people.  This is a big mistake.  Don't even think about applying for this company.  All the bad things you read on MT Stars are true and I really wish I had paid attention to them.  Also I keep getting put off about my hire bonus so that is a bait and switch tactic too.  They don't intend to pay it.  I can see clearly now and I am P*****   that I did not pay attention because I consider myself warned a long time ago. 
I applied with them before checking with MT Stars...

but their offer was so low-ball I declined, after taking their rather rigorous and pain-in-the-neck test.  Then I remembered this board and started reading... and thought phew, I dodged THAT bullet! 


I have one. I am professional Stars poster.

I think MT Stars is an excellent way to check out - sm
a prospective employer. In most cases, it's the only communication we at-home MTs have with each other. With the ability to read and assess for ourselves the pros and cons of MTSOs discussed honestly and openly here, we have a better chance of finding the right company.
Never heard of stars and apples
I believe there is a threat to lower pay, although I've never had low scores to find out. I have never heard of stars and apples. I've been around over 7 years and QA has always been about numbers.
pg 4, company board, here on stars

At least one person got fired, supposedly.


But I thought MT Stars does not give that info out- how could they get it?
nm
Tons of stuff in the archives. Use the MT Stars
search
I'm grateful for MT Stars but wonder if staff or mgmnt
nm
rudeness... it's really what I expect to see on Stars these days.. n/m
x
Well since MT stars is global you will see Spheris, Medquist, Diskriter, etc. posts sm
so if your going to be unemployed because of offshoring that is to bad. The majority always think of India when it comes to offshore but the Philippines, Australia, Europe, etc. also transcribes.
Can you say google
 
Use google
x
If you google, there are, but only 1 for MT.
nm
YES, it is. It's in the BOS. Google it.
It is in the BOS 2nd edition on page 66 that it is customary to use single space after sentence. It also says it's determined by department, and it's basically optional otherwise as long as you are consistent.

I didn't just make it up. lol
You can google it
 
Did you google?
I did. Pops right up.
Yes, actually did google
Yes, you are correct.
Google it...

That'd be a good place to start, x.


Go and Google it!
I wanted to find out more information about this company before I decided to send in my resume. I could not find anything by typing in the company name on Google, so I typed in the email address that was listed in the job posting. I found some interesting websites associated with this email account.....go and look!!!!!!!!
Use the google box just above your
post. It does the more recent stuff.
Can't find anything on Google, but

Did they post somewhere? Can you glean a potential site address off of their email, if they did post something?


Hopefully it's a tiny company that pays wonderfully, has clear docs, and turns out to be the perfect job.


Good luck!


Google keylogger (sm)
My first day I was so frustrated, during my break I went to check MT Jobs, I immediately got 2 IM's and a phone call.......and a raise! Imagine that, how would they know otherwise?
Do a Google search for
Cbay India Maryland transcription

and see what comes up. Nearly 1,000 hits. Honestly, you can do better than that.
There is a Google box right under the words
type in what you want to search and then click the circle beside 'mtstars' located right below the Google box, then search. This will bring up archives on your topic, if there are any.
Do a Google search here. You don't want
