If anyone is sending out private emails, I'd like info on this company also! TIA!

Start sending a flurry of resume emails
I would start sending out to everybody I could find on MTJOBS.COM and MTSTARS.COM
Even go back in the older listings for company names, never can tell, thugh no longer listing a job ad, may just find an opening. Would try and work both places until you can tell if the new job is a match.
So Sorry this happened
I applied for a company in the past...sm
and I needed to send my resume via email to his particular contact person. I asked him for his name so I could address the email accordingly. He simply gave me initials as his contact. Duh, I wonder why? (I'm most confident that he had a last name that would be quite suspicious). NOnetheless, I sent the resume, but deleted my phone number and address other than the state, as I had no intention of communicating with this guy ever again. I have many years of experience, and if I apply for a company who I come to find out outsources, I simply place an x by that company name.
They're sending everything to India now.

They're sending me their pre-employment screening....but
If their software doesn't even have spellcheck, then I think I'll just move on.
Thanks for the heads up.
So you're sending out bogus INTEREST LETTERS?
As another MT who just got a we're very interested letter and questionairre, I have to say,
PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!!!
You've wasted my time.
So Webmedx is just another crock of bull MTSO lying to potential employees.
Why am I not surprised?
Disgusting!
You're past retirement age
and you only have 36 years? One can say anything they want annonymously but I do believe a person who is past retirement age would have better sense than to tell a fellow MT to go back to retirement. LOL
just today - you're a little behind - that was for the past 3 years-
and ID thiefs are also overseas - did ya see Dateline this week? Another point you are missing - we can prosecute those here - try finding somebody in Pakistan right now.
Yes, PS HAD a good rep in the past, but they're a mess now. Stay away. nm

You're welcome. I applied and had saved the info. nm

Keystrokes sending sending my W2, anyone else? NM

Can I asked when you applied? I applied a few weeks ago
and never heard a word and I have over 16 years of experience. I applied because I got a recommendation from a friend of a friend who loves working there..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anymore details other than that. I'm all for even one positive at this point on this frustrating job search. Good luck to you though and check back with us to tell us how the interview went etc. Thanks
No. I applied, but I've applied SM
at a lot of places lately. I got an e-mail from a lady whose name starts with an M, but she didn't identify her company in the letter. She had my resume on the bottom of her e-mail, so I know it's someone I applied with, but I don't know which one!! LOL I'm thinking it's The Word Pros. Anyone else apply to The Word Pros and get an e-mail from M?
I'd love to hear information about them as well.
Just Me
No, but she didn't say she was sending any
We talked this morning, and I told her I needed a couple of days to think about it. Yes, I'd like to chat via e-mail, but how do we do that? Do I do post reply versus post quick reply? Tell me how, and I'll send you a note about it and we can compare notes!
Yes, the week is not over. They are sending
out MT week gifts, and they sent them out late due to packaging problems. Of course, it would be better to win the lottery - but the gifts are very nice! (A tote bag, a pedometer and a stress ball that is modeled as a computer). (I know this because I work in the office)
You are right, they are sending me a check
so obviously it has not been invested. How dare they use our money?
How would you be getting and sending the jobs? SM
I once worked for a hospital for all of six weeks. They had a main frame, which was extremely slow. The head of the department told me how fast it was. The problem was, she never used it.
Find out what the platform is like and if you can use Expanders and how they divvy up the work. Then I would take the job, because I work for national and it is indeed going downhill fast.
After sending one Email you should have
nm
I would see nothing wrong with sending
one to the company/office in general. It would be very nice I think.
Yes the same MTs sending work to QA
day in and day out. I get sick of it. And nothing is done about it from management.
re sending work to QA
I really don't believe we'd be penalized or cut for that, UNLESS it was for the same type mistakes over and over, or inexcusable ones that would be caught in proofing, etc. Hope I'm right.
Would mind sending me one as well?
I feel so out of it since I cannot talk to anyone about this.
I'm sending you an email. nm

My STM would threaten us with sending
work to India if work got out of TAT. I think it only did once or twice, as there was never enough work to get in my lines, but I don't take kindly to threats, and it shows a complete lack of maturity on her part.
I sent them an email asking too because I had no intention of sending
them a resume without knowing what the name of the co was. I am sure they get the message if people write.
She's right about sending the letter to Lou Dobbs...
After thinking about this, I realized there are probably several private physicians in Toledo who send their work overseas. My friend here in a smaller town south of Toledo lost her job several months ago doing dictation at a local Cardiology practice. One of the Indian physicians convinced the other partners that his friends in India could do the transcribing much cheaper. Someone else posted further down about offshoring going on even in the smallest towns in America and that is absolutely right. Your letter would get much more exposure and be taken more seriously with someone like Lou Dobbs at CNN.
Anyone else sending out resumes and hearing nothing?
I have 16 years in the business and 4-5 years editing experience, but am just not hearing back from companies advertising on the boards. Maybe they are receiving 100s of resumes...or is it just me? Anyone know of a company looking for an editor, please email me. Thanks!
I've also been sending out resumes and not
I've heard back from a few places wanting me to test and often don't even hear back after the test! I have over 17 years of experience and I can't be doing THAT bad on tests. I think it is probably that they are being inundated with responses.
To be honest, I do not expect a response from every single company I send my resume to. I do expect to hear back from a company once I've tested for them when it is at their request, however! I've hired before and know that when you get scads of emails, many from the same people over and over again, it gets hard to keep track of sending out I got your resume emails. If I emailed someone and asked them to test, though, I would most certainly let them know one way or the other.
I recently tested for a company that I had heard good things about and then never heard one word again. Not even that they received my test files back. I decided right then and there I wouldn't work for them anyway because that's just rude. It takes time out of our day to test and to not hear back--when they requested it--is pretty lame, IMO.
Question about sending resume...sm
Sorry if a silly question but...I've never applied for a position from the Job Seeker's board before. When I copy my resume over, do I have to make it look normal in that box, or do I leave as-is and when it gets forwarded, will it look like it originally did in Word? Thanks!
Wouldn't that be the same as thanking you for sending
a thank-you note? When does it end... it is nice to be acknowledged but someone has to end it! :)
Sounds to me like she intended on sending you sm
paperwork via snail mail that require your signature (confidentiality statement, etc.) Sounds like you're in!
Good luck to you.
Precyse, please stop sending
all U.S. MT work overseas, or better yet, why not send the great overseas MTs the junk work we have to do all the time, so they cannot make anything, also!
can anyone tell me about sending daily report and how
you keep track of that? You can e-mail me if you'd rather. Just started and curious if you have to write down all your jobs at the end of shift of is there an easier way of sending this info?
Must be your email, I've been getting and sending
emails all the time.
What has sending work to India done?
We have upset the economy of India, creating an even larger rift and making the poor even poorer because we have inflated the economy in the cities and of those who have had a chance to be educated. The poor have lost even more footing.
We have lost job opportunities for our own Americans, but the companies continue charge the hospitals the same amount for transciption, however their overhead continues to drop, corporate salaries continue to increase and our rate of pay stays the same or drops.
India is a country that allows very very little importing of anything made in the US, so it is a 1 way deal for them.
The individuals from other companies do not pay taxes, so we continue to pay to support those in our country who have gone on the public roles for aid and assistance.
Wouldn't it be nicer to have some of these people working again?
Good for you for sending TranSCAM
the recipe. I hope you filled it with habanero peppers!
If they ask about sending back the footpedal
you could wait 3 weeks, then tell them make a promise it is in the mail, then wait 3 days and email them and tell them you couldn't find their address but thought it was in Timbuktu as you spoke to someone there recently, then .....
They say there's a "shortage" to justify sending
Sending work to India isn't a necessity for MTSO's, it's a PREFERENCE. Not only can they get away with paying those poor workers peanut wages, but OUR government gives them financian incentives to do so.
That's why it's time to make our voices heard, and start writing our government representatives to tell them that the best economic stimulus they can have is to bring our work back home, and stop giving U.S. companies a wink, a pat on the back and a buck under the table for offshoring.
It should be made more expensive to offshore than to pay U.S. workers a fair wage and decent benefits.
Offshoring should be a company's LAST choice, not their FIRST choice.
I think sending your resume is the only application
There's nothing else to fill out, just send your resume.
Outsourcing is a hospital sending work out to SM
be done by a service (for our purposes, this is a good definition), while OFFSHORING is when a hospital or service sends the work outside the U.S. (like to India, Pakistan, Phillippines, etc.) to be done.
The only way I got my money is by sending him a letter from my attorney.
Essentially, all I did was go to a lawyers office and have them send the guy a letter of the amount owed otherwise face legal action and the guy sent me my pay. Callstreet will tell you that they will pay these great rates and then when you do the work and in the time frame they want, when you see what you are ACTUALLY being paid is SIGNIFICANTLY lower. This is an Indian guy who uses anyone he can get his hands on and then screw them out of hard earned money. They conference calls are brutal to get turned around in an extremely short period of time and then to get screwed out of the proper pay is a slap in the face. He does the same thing to services he uses overseas, too. I've seen posts on an Indian website about this guy cheating them out of pay, too.
They didn't charge me for sending it back
I thought they were pretty nice about it and my final check was deposited as usual. They are ethical people. But the demographics will kill you.
I'm not sending resumes but a few months ago I posted my
resume on a couple of job boards and didn't hear from anyone. I am not currently looking for a job and have had 2 companies contact me in the last week. I have 20 years' experience in acute care and can do ESLs. I was really surprised that I didn't hear from anyone for several months.
Guess you won, sending bottom dollar
but now with the pay like it is, don’t spend it all in 1 place. I glad you like wrinkles, most women do not but a lot either cannot afford or scared to go through with it. At high school reunions I have attended and have no problem with saying have had, most women totally interested in how much, who did mine, etc. etc. Am very glad to have been able to do mine.
Transtech just may be sending some of our work to that other MTSO again, and maybe
that small MTSO that they sometimes use to help them out offshores and that is why we MT's at Transtech suddenly have an abundance of work this week -- asking for extra help this week -- quite a new thing with TT. With the India cables being cut, putting those India MT's out of work, it makes me wonder if that service that TT sometimes uses to do our work maybe offshores.
Just thinking. Keep those India cables DOWN/CUT !!!!! We U.S. MT's need the work kept here in the U.S.
It should read Keystrokes late sending my W2, anyone else? NM

It's not just overhiring. They are sending the best work to India.
They have always sent work there but I believe they have geared up these efforts in the past six months, and the easiet work (ER). That is when I noticed there was not consistent work. I had to move on and so will others.
I have heard they are sending $25 AmEx checks to all of us sm
It is a rumor, I don't have one. I don't actually care if I get one either. I have a job, benefits and nice situation with TT. I have had plenty to eat all year, clothes on my back and my bills paid. It has been a wonderful year and I don't need a bonus. I have had bonus with having such a good life for once.
They make no bones about sending to India
There was an article here in the Atlanta Journal/Constitution and talking about the top companies in Georgia- Transcend being 1 of those. They made it very clear that they sent work to India, said not enough MTs here to handle their work. I read it personally and saved the article for awhile. I wish I still had- I would put on here word for word but that was last year. I could not believe when I read not enough when I see Transcend people running out of work.
Webmedx must be sending work to overflow co's as soon as...sm
regular employees start hitting overtime. The economy has an effect on the workload, I know, but not like this, not during peak flu season. Does anyone know for a fact that they are doing this? TIA
