If you put in an application at Wal-Mart does it not ask for your SS#? sm

If you did not feel comfortable giving that info until hired, all you simply had to do was leave it blank. I am sure they would not have tossed your application due to that.

better off at Wal-mart
You would be better off supplementing your income working at Wal-Mart rather than working at this Indian-run loony bin.
Do they have Wal-Mart's in Kansas?
.
And, you can also add Wal-Mart to your list
I think stores such as Wal-Mart, and there certainly are others, no doubt, that buy up the majority of their products from these other countries are putting our Americans out of work. I just shudder to think how different life is in this century compared to before we went to being such a huge importer of goods that we COULD be producing here in the US.
make more money at Wal-Mart
and they give you a piece of the company
lol
I recently saw a show on TV about Wal-Mart, sm
It was one of those news shows, maybe 20/20. Whatever. It talked about Rubbermaid going down the tubes because of W-M's demands on it, how generations of families worked at one particular factory which essentially supported the town. That was closed, equipment was auctioned off. I'll never forget the expressions on the faces of the men who were watching this happening. It was tragic.
Sorry, this is badly worded, but I need to get back to work.
Get a Linksys router at Wal-Mart $40-60

Wal-Mart Sounds Good
Wal-Mart is starting to look better and better to me. I have been an excellent Transcriptionist for over 25 years and had planned to retire as same. The past couple of years has caused me to re-think the rest of my life. I have gone from an average of $23.00 per hour to $16.00 per hour and it makes me nauseous. The suits are getting the money that I am having to work even harder to get (for them).
So, I'm thinking about going to Wal-Mart. My mother will retire from them soon and she, believe it or not, has had a lot less stress than I have had in the past few years. I think she makes about $14.00 per hour at this point. I'm sure that starting out, you probably do not make that much, but I think that if I have to work for less money, I would rather it be for someone who didn't TAKE MY MONEY. Anybody agree????
So we threaten to go to Wal-Mart to work?

If things keep going, you may do so unknowingly!
They are taking the first steps...
What is wrong with working at Wal-Mart.
My mother has worked at Wal-Mart for almost 10 years. Why does everyone act like working at Wal-Mart is for losers? Only desperate people who have no other choice work there?
Nope, not Wal-Mart employees sm
(even though, what's wrong with that) just busy mothers who have better and more important things to do than proofread on a forum, we save that for our jobs. Now back to doing the most important job...being a mother...now babs get back to your griping. Sorry you don't have a family. Hope you have a nice Easter :)
Yes I work at TT, Wal-Mart & a vet's office
Three jobs. Wasn't too hard to get. I like TT and hope that work will pick up with the new accounts but in the meantime yes I have to feed my kids and me.
Wearing clothes from Wal-Mart...
How is that equal to creating medical records with gross errors? My problem is not entirely with offshoring, but rather what is being offshored. Like many others, I do not shop at Wal-Mart, and I have my own sewing machine. If people want to buy things that are made overseas, that's their choice, but my concern is regarding the quality of our medical documentation here in the US. Also, there is no excuse for supposedly not being able to find an adequate amount of MT staff here in the US. The problem is that these companies do not want to pay enough to that staff. If the hospitals cut out the MTSOs and brought MT back in-house, there would be enough money to go around for everyone.
I should say SHOPS at Wal-Mart --- Even Starbucks gets their coffee elsewhere!

Which speaks to/with the wal-mart spoof posted
in the comedy section (link below). It's the direction of the economy. Capitalism at its best and worst; inevitability.

A quick word of explanation about Wal-Mart
My friend worked in the division that made, organized jewelry, etc. She was not a clerk. She worked behind the scenes. I guess the suits thought that behind the scenes in Mexico was cheaper for them than to pay American workers. Anyway, my friend, a 21-years-old single mother, is now without work.
MT job application
hi everyone. I would like to ask help from everyone for referrals. Im a CMT with 4 years of experience. Im based in the Philippines. Could you please refer me to any company who might have any vacancy. Really appreciate your help. thanks a lot
Thanks. I sent them an application. NM

I have an application with them also...sm
I tried searching the archives on them, but nothing came up. Does anyone have any specifics? TIA
Thank you!! And if anyone on this website gripes about "offshoring" and works at Wal-Mart, you
just as much to blame as anyone hiring offshore companies. You shop there to get cheaper prices? 95% of that is made in China!
Quik-Mart doesn't require testing ...
Many MTs that I know put quite a bit of time into researching companies. Believe it or not, there are a few out there that are unscrupulous. Then, when they decide to submit their resume, they become one of the stack received and left on a recruiter's desk, only to be sent a generic thank you for applying, please test letter. Then, they're on to the testing process. Sometimes it's a screening during which you give out a lot of personal information, then a written test, then transcription, sometimes followed by a phone interview (and this is probably the only time you are looked at as a person and not just data)- you get the idea. This eats up a lot of time and energy. I don't have any first-hand knowledge about Quick-Mart, Starbuck's or the Department of Energy, but I think things work a little differently in those settings. I hope this helps you understand why it would be important to get a response for the effort. If not, well, I tried.
Axlotl application. sm
About a month or so ago, I applied to Axlotl, after seeing their ad on a site. Have heard nothing back so far. Has anyone else had this happen with them? I'd like to try again with them, if they will respond. Thanks.
APPLICATION SCAM?
This is the scenario--Company advertises what sounds like a really nice position. Resume is submitted. Information and test is received with message to urgently return it, for the first one who passes the test will be hired. Some time passes, so applicant decides to not continue with test, as someone probably already passed and was hired. Recruiter is notified that applicant will not continue. Then, recruiter contacts applicant to encourage her to complete the test anyway, because no real decisions will be made for a couple of days!!
Question: Does this sound like one of those recruitment situations where the recruiter is using applicants as workers, to get some reports done?
I filled out an application
I filled out the application and sent in my resume. I was called for an interview and then asked to test, and I had the 2nd interview today and was hired. I am so excited!
SPI's new scheduling application
Are there any current SPI MTs who are willing to share their thoughts on the new scheduling application?
scheduling application
I find the application slow and clumsy. No way can you sign out if you leave your computer every 5 mins... it really is the last straw. Word has it they're going to dump us anyway and pull out of onshore accounts altogether.
thanks, I did the online application for TT
hope to hear from them soon.
Application Help Needed
I completed an on-line application and test for TransTech two weeks ago. After a week had passed with no response from TT, I called and the recruiter said they couldn't locate my application or test but that they would call back. After not hearing from them for a couple of days, I started calling at least every other day until two days ago. At that time, I called again, and the receptionist talked to the recruiter while I was still on the line and said they had found my app. and test and would call back within the hour. However, I have yet to receive a return call. I'm certified and have 26 years of acute care experience and feel I did well on the test, but maybe the competition is stiff and I should take this as a rejection and move on. Has anybody else experienced similar circumstances applying to TT? Suggestions as to how I can get a response one way or the other would be greatly appreciated!
TransTech - application process
Can any experienced Transtech employees fill me in on the process of getting a job with TransTech? Did you need to follow up your application with an email, or is that too pestering? If they contacted you, how long did it take after you applied? Any other things you could fill me in on would be appreciated. I would really like to have some contact with this company.
Thanks!
Sure would be nice if they would respond to my application
wonder how long it takes
I was PAST the application stage.
I wanted to know if DRC was now OWNED by Acusis..that's it...jeesh
Personally, I don't want to work under an Indian company. Been there, done that. Thanks for the info.
Application process/testing
I am starting to think that all of this application and testing is a waste of my time! You spend hours at your desk and seem to get nowhere and not even get hired!
Tips on the application process
Good morning! Never give any information not asked for. If they don't ask if you have books, don't tell them. There are so many ways of researching on-line until you get the books that you would have been fine. Never, never say what you won't do until you actually talk to the recruiter after testing and they see you are going to be a quality employee. Then when you're specifically asked about scheduling during your job offer, say you'd prefer not to work Sundays. During the application process, when they ask if you are willing to work weekends, I always put yes, but for me this means Saturday. During my job interview/offer, that's when I let them know I prefer Sundays off. Maybe this will help for next time, along with prayer. (Oh please Father, I want this job, please, please, please). lol
I've worked for 3 different companies in the last 12 years and have always received replies to a job opening. The next time you apply, send a followup email the next day on the status of your application. I did this the very next day with all three companies. That is not being pushy...it's just letting them know you seriously want this job and are excited to know your status. Good luck, Dreamer! :)
MQ application form after interview
Needing a new job, I applied, tested and interviewed with MQ. At the end of the interview, I was told there was one last thing I needed to do, which was to fill out another form. An application similar to the screening application I had completed when I applied initially as I understand. Well, I can't find it. I've also called them twice about it and they said I had been sent an email about it with the link. But, I have received no email about this and do not know where to find this form to complete. I was hoping someone here would know. If you do, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
has anyone used the Keystrone online application?
I tried submitting it but it only brings me to a blank browser page.
Med-Scribe Application Test
Has anyone recently applied with Med-Scribe and taken their application test? I didn't think the test was difficult but I was told I did not pass it. I was wondering if anyone else has the same. results.
Well, it depends, in part, upon where your application went. sm
If it went to a recruiter, they often seem to work 24/7 (LOL). But if it went to a corporate office somewhere, then I'd not expect immediate action if submitted on a weekend. Some folks would be pushier than I tend to be, though. However, I don't think giving them a couple of days is unreasonable. :-)
I started the application process, but when they
asked for my social security number on the application, I decided not to pursue it. I don't want to give my SS# unless I'm hired.
I think sending your resume is the only application
There's nothing else to fill out, just send your resume.
I had a very bad experience through the application process.
Went through all testing, passed, had phone interveiw, the told me the liked what they saw, spent over an hour on the phone with the girl, and then she said she would send computer specification info and schedule form, filled out the schedule and sent it back, and went to buy the computer....
Never heard from them again. Called, only got voice mail, sent several e-mails over the course of 2 weeks, then I took another job (thanks Encompass... I like my new job), and about 2 months later, I heard back from them saying that they just got my e-mails... HUH?
GOOD LUCK...
I do understand your position. We live in a Wal-Mart world. Some days I wonder why I bother
putting out good work. It would be certainly help my bottom line if I cared more for my production than my reports. *Sigh*
I just submitted an application to them. Can you give details? nm

Isn't Wal-Mart the company that lied/replaced labels several years back with Made in USA? nm
,,
Ex-Spheris MT, HITS is a windows-based application...
you will type in. It is very, very user friendly. Frankly, it is the only aspect I miss about working for Healthscribe/Spheris. Good luck!!
Not basing that criteria on a job application...Good grief! nm

Whether you apply on line or by written application, they have it covered
They have always had a disclaimer at the end of any paper Employment Application you fill out and sign, but now they also have them if you apply on line. They cover it nicely by saying I authorize investigation. That pretty much lets them do anything they want and without a written signature.
Applicant Disclaimer |
(Please read before submitting)
I hereby certify that the answers given herein are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I authorize investigation of all statements contained in this application for employment as may be necessary in arriving at an employment decision. |
I have tons of experience and I sent a resume to them and I filled out the application, took the
test, did fine, got a huge questionnaire to fill out that took about 1/2 hour or more then got a call and they wanted me to take an oral test and do another editing test. I thought what is this. This all took hours of my time. I do think you have to clock in and out like at MQ and I am not interested in the least in doing that again. Been there and done that.
You are lost and the WRONG site filling out an application for who knows what???nm

Its holiday time. I just took a part time job at K-Mart and
it is really quite fun because I get to interact with humans and do not have to stare at a computer. My part time benefits included an employee discount on merchandise from day 1 of employment, can put that on lay-away, and if the item goes on sale before you pick it up, you get it at the sale price as well as with the discount. This is a Super K-Mart, and with kids this will really help with paying for their presents. It sure beats running out of work every day and wondering if I am going to have any money for gifts.
