MXSecure test not too bad, but failed anyway because of hyphens.

In Reply to: Squirm! That is exactly how I felt! - MTLooking
I too applied for this company and took all the tests. It took them forever to get back to me, but they said I failed their transcription test because I put hyphens where they did nt belong -- week-end and follow-up on some reports. I just could not believe that you could fail a transcription test because of punctuation. But in retrospect, I am glad they failed me and glad I did not get hired on. This company is probably very picky about everything if they will fail you for punctuation!!!!!
Well good riddance to you too.

failed test?
LinK...if you can, please contact me. We don't have any nephrology accounts, but if you would like more info please feel free to contact me.
Took their test and passed, then failed
I took their test about one year ago, passed it and was offered a job. However, the job training would not start for another 6-8 weeks, so I declined it because I needed to find employment then, not 6-8 weeks from then. Anyway, approximately six months later I retested to reapply and was then told I did not pass the test the second time. It isn't even a difficult test. If anyone figures out what they actually do want, please come back here and post it.
To the person who asked why people keep asking about Focus: Things and people change and there are always new people entering the market as well as policy changes in every industry. Asking about Focus or any other company periodically is certainly a legitamate inquiry. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
I applied there, took their test and have not heard anything. I guess I failed. nm

MxSecure...how long does it take for them to contact you after you pass test?
I got an email stating that I passed test and they would contact me....just wondering how long I should expect to wait....THANKS!
and "face-to-face" needs no hyphens in this instance. NM
Just because you failed it does not mean
I know plenty of people that have not failed as you put it. Please do not try to bring people down by your failure. Be proud of the ones that make it. Geez!!
FAILED TESTING
The only thing I can say is Quality is definitely #1 priority at Axolotl. Other than account specs, everything is typed VERBATIM. You do not add/delete anything. The ONLY time anything is changed is if a sentence begins with a number. You can type out the number or recast. If in doubt, you blank and send to QA. You do not get errors assessed for blanks unless it is obvious you did not attempt to look it up. I haven't ever been given an error for an inappropriate blank.
Verbatim is sometimes difficult to get used to.
Oh and I failed to mention
that 90% of the work I do are ESL. Plus the audio is so bad I have to turn it up FULL VOLUME just to hear sometimes and then all of a sudden it comes thru normally and blasting at full volume, so its probably all in how they're holding it. The list goes on and on really but I think what I've mentioned is enough even for most hardened MTs.
Well said! I failed to mention in my post below sm
that I was making lots more money when Clinton was in office, with the downturn almost immediately after Dubya took over. I hope that things will begin to turn around again for us.
As for the people making comments about being happy to pay for spellcheckers, equipment, etc., that is very true. These expenditures to make my job easier, allow me to produce far more, and sure help come tax time! Ka-ching!
Or, maybe you were looking for "didn't".. Thanks for noticing that I would have failed the
You failed because you didn't use the "TOOL"
If a screwdriver is used incorrectly, it is ineffective also.
If you failed outright on a probationary period
A critical error would cause a total fail. A QA can't just make these things up, they document on their end also. Sounds like maybe a little less bashing the QA and a little more reflection on what you need to work on.
Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

Tested there 10 days ago and never heard a word back..guess I failed! nm

I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
Just took the test myself. No actual dictation to transcribe. Just a written test.
For 13 cpl, I might do it if the dictators aren't a total horror.
I just took the test today - thought it was a great test of MT skills.

There is no written test. Must have been a different company. I took their ortho test sm
and it was easy. You had to know your terminology but it was easy to understand AND I used my foot pedal.
MxSecure
Anybody have any comments on this company...nothing in archives.
Anybody do QA for MxSecure
Is the pay low, average or very good? I know they offer benefits to QA...is the insurance affordable (single)?
MxSecure
Seeking feedback on this company. Any good, bad, or indifferent feedback appreciated on this Arizona company.
Does Mxsecure pay for
no message.
MxSecure
Wondering too if they are a decent company to work for or not and whether they offshore. People, platform, pay, any other info appreciated.
Mxsecure
I asked about this company a couple of weeks ago and did not get a response. I would like to hear from someone who works there now. Do you have an adequate amount of work? Is their line counting system fair? How about thier QA point system? Any other info is appreciated as well.
MxSecure
yes, the same sort of thing happened to me about finally getting a call back, but when I finally did I asked numerous questions and my first one was about outsourcing. They did tell me they had a international and domestic division and I kindly rejected the position. I was not impressed with their organizational skills at all.
MxSecure
I have worked for them for 9-1/2 months now, and they are an EXCELLENT company to work for. They do not offshore. If you would like more information regarding them feel free to let me know. I absolutely LOVE this company and they treat their MTs GREAT! I was hired as a newbie, and this is my first MT position. To be hired with them (and receive a prompt callback from the), you have to test VERY good or they will not hire you. Maybe that was why they took so long to contact you. Also, knowing someone in the company will also get you a callback quicker. As with ANY MT company, test scores make a HUGE impact on whether you get a callback or not. JMHO
MxSecure
I currently work for them (and have since April of 2005)and LOVE this company. I was hired right out of school and could not have picked a better company to work for. Someone is always available to help out and they have a VERY MT friendly platform. They have a very good line counting system. I have NEVER been jipped out of pay and they ALWAYS pay on time (and sometimes early). I have only had a problem 1 time with my pay (they forgot to pay me my extra for working on Christmas), and I emailed them, and received the money the SAME day. They are also growing rather quickly, and there is ALWAYS work. Even if your regular accounts are not very busy, there is ALWAYS someone there to give you more work (and to help you if you have too much work....yes, it does happen). Again, I am VERY happy with MxSecure!
MxSecure
And also if you are someone with a lot of experience as with myself (16 years) they can pretty much tell if you are going to do the job or not WITHOUT TESTING. They had already offered me a position, but I chose not to take because my contact person TOLD ME THEY OFFSHORE. They said they have a domestic and international department.
Mxsecure
They do not have a line count requirement. I currently work for them and they do pay for spaces and ON TIME. They are a GREAT company to work for. If they had benefits, I would NEVER leave them. HTH
MxSecure-Does anyone know anything about them?
I searched the archives and came up with nothing. Just looking for someone who might have experience with them.
MxSecure
I had a friend that highly recommended them to me. She used to work for them but quit she needed employee status. They, according to her, only have IC. She also said the hours are very very flexible. They sent her a box of chocolates for her birthday. I decided to stay in house and work because I need bennies also.
Yes - MxSecure
Have my 2 week notice into MQ right now. Been working PT with MxSecure since October and am going full time with them. Can't wait to be done with MQ and here full time.. really like it! Email me if you want more info
MxSecure
I have been PT now at MxSecure for about 3 months. I like what I see so far, and will probably be going on FT soon.... If anyone has any interest in this company, please let me know if you have questions. There is an ad posted for work, so wanted to offer a few encouraging words if anyone is interested.
MxSecure
I am the one who works for MxSecure. If anyone has any questions, please email me. If you apply, I would appreciate the referral, that is why I would like to take time to answer anyone's questions... but since someone posted openly the company, just want to ask for anyone applying to please contact me. I am not JUST looking for a referral, I am willing to help and answer any questions also. Thank you. Jolena
MxSecure
Any info out there on MxSecure - I want it all - the good, the bad, and the ugly.... Is it a lot of ESL. Hard to make your quota, etc.. Thanx ahead of time
I like MxSecure
Been there a year and really like it. Totally IC, 20 hour TAT with specific work pools/assignments. They are hiring now, focusing on full-time which is 1000 lines Monday through Friday.
MxSecure
They require 500 for PT, 1000 for full-time. Monday through Friday. 20 hour TAT, work own hours.
MxSecure
To say that MxSecure is nitpicky would be an understatement. Interestingly, they have at least one account where a hyphen is always required with the use of the word follow-up, regardless of the context.
MxSecure
I was wondering if there is anybody out there that works for this company. I have a phone interview this afternoon about a clinic position that is mostly ESLs. I was just wondering how their pay is, etc.
TIA!
MxSecure
The pay is low but standard for most TX companies on only clinic work. Research this company very carefully --- the past, present, and future.

MxSecure?
I need info on this company from somebody that currently works for them. (i.e. easy to make lines, work load, etc).
TIA!
MxSecure
Hi. I worked there for 3 years, and quit last september for the same reason, among others. I asked them about this. They admitted that they outsource to India, but that wasn't the problem. Right. Anyway, it's really too bad, because I have worked at 3 difference companies now, including Transcend and the one I'm at now, and cannot get near the line count I was gettting on the Mx platform. I was even thinking about going back part time if they hire part timers yet. They didn't used to. Anyway, hope this helps. Good Luck 
MxSecure, Inc....any info?
.
Mxsecure. I know I posted below
from someone who works there now. Do they pay for spaces? Is the QA point system fair? Any other info?
Does anyone know the pay range for MxSecure? Thx. nm

Anyone get an offer from Mxsecure? NM
oo
MXSecure pay periods
Can anyone tell me how the pay periods run?
MXSecure. Anyone heard of them?
Looks like I'm still looking.
MxSecure pay per cpl, just contractors??
Does anyone know what MxSecure pays per CPL? I cannot seem to find this info anywhere, either on their site or elsewhere. Also, do they just employ independent contractors or do they offer employee status as well? I'm specifically asking about transcription. Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
I HAVE to get out of SPI. They are driving me insane!!!! 
MxSecure pay per cpl, just contractors??
$.08 cpl and yes ;-)
MxSecure MTs...see message please
If you work for MxSecure, would you mind posting here or emailing me? I have been offered and accepted a position there (very excited). I was just wondering how you're doing as far as your work load, how you like the platform, percentage of ESLs you personally get, etc. Anything positive is very welcome. I look forward to working with all of you!
