Interviews...

On average, I was wondering how long takes to hear back from companies? I just started job-searching as I wanted to get away from MQ, and they apparently want to get rid of me as I just received a written warning. This leaves me a little worried though. I have applied for 5 jobs in the past few days (MedScribe, Phoenix MedCom, Chronicle, Summit and Tarheel), and I'm worried that I might not find a new job in time. I have 11 years of experience, and I have been working for Medquist since 2004. Any info on your job-searching experience would be appreciated :) TIA :)

MT company interviews
Don't be nervous. I don't think an MT company phone interview is like a regular interview in a lot of ways--definitely not worth worrying over.
They want to know your experience. They want to know you'll be able to do the work. If you have both, you have nothing to worry about.
Remember, it's an INTERview, meaning this is not something they do to you, it's something you do with them. Bolster yourself up, lady, and remember you want to know if YOU want to work for them. Get your questions ready! You don't want to get into a bad situation, so you'll talk with them and make sure they're a good fit, right? Writing some questions out might help you get in the right frame of mind as well as help you remember while you're on the phone that you are not powerless here.
two recent interviews
I thought you might enjoy these two tidbits from recent interviews with unnamed companies. When I asked the first recruiter/owner about the insurance they offered in their ad, I was told that contract had lapsed and there was not a new one signed yet. She went on to volunteer her opinion that people are better off without health insurance -- that way you can use the free clinics (TRUE story). The second one advertised 8.5 to 10 cpl transcription and 0.4 to 0.5 VR. Unfortunately, those positions (although I applied within minutes of the post) were filled but I was offered 8 cpl transcription and 0.3 VR. Bait and switch much?
INSURANCE INTERVIEWS
Anyone working in insurance interviews for Medscribe? I would like to know your experience with it.
Insurance Interviews
I have experience doing insurance claims reports for a local insurance company. I get $3.00 a page, so I was a little wary about the $1.50. It is very easy work if the tapes are clear. I was thinking of applying, but I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. Has anyone else applied yet?
Have interviews with Axolotl and Webmedx. Need opinions from CURRENT MTs about their future
I have interviews for an Acute Care MT position (employee, not IC) with both Axolotl and Webmedx and would like some CURRENT feedback before I make a decision. Have been an Acute Care MT for over 30 years and want to “plant” myself at my LAST job before retirement. Getting too old to keep going through these testing/interview processes. 
I have researched both Axolotl and Webmedx and to no surprise the poster either hates 'em or loves 'em. It seems like both companies have gone through some major changes during 2006 and plan more changes in the future – good or bad – depending on who is replying. From preliminary information, they seem to be comparable in pay, both provide the computer, insurance is reasonable at both, and other benefits are close to identical, which is making it hard for me to swing one way or the other without more information.
I would really appreciate either a post or E-Mail from CURRENT (or newly former) employees of Axolotl and Webmedx with their opinion as to if they feel reasonably confident they can continue to make a comfortable living over the next few years (or at least not have drastic downward changes in their future incomes), where they think their employers are going in the future, if they are comfortable with the direction they are taking (job security), and if they think they will still be working for the company in say 5 to 10 years (or at least plan to, baring unforeseen circumstances). Any information you care to share on ESL and achieving/maintaining minimum lines per pay period would also be helpful. Any other information you would care to share would also be greatly appreciated in my attempt to decide the PROS and CONS of these two companies.
Needless to say, I would love to hear any negatives in case I need to go in a totally different direction. Any former employees who would care to share why they left would be very insightful too.
Any information you have will certainly help in my decision making. Thank you in advance.
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
of course, scheduled. All interviews are Scheduled.
