Don't let that hold you back
I never paid $25 to get my check delivered via UPS, and I got it the following Tuesday. I believe they're mailed on Friday. FN is in CA, and I'm in CO. There are no guarantees on mail service, but I wouldn't let this hold you back. Are you considering part time or full time? If you're considering full time, why not become an SE and get the direct deposit? You only have to do 12,000 lines per pay period as an SE. May be worth checking into! Good luck! 
same way an employee making $8 an hour. Hold some back.

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.
Geez, it's so illegal to hold back a last week's check, regardless of the reason.

How soon after applying and taking test for Transtech to hear from them? Thanks.

Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
Medware or MDI-FI. Considering applying. Unsure of best choice.
Can anyone give me insight about these companies.. pay, benefits, accounts etc..
Any info on Medware...thinking of applying..nm

Anyone know what Medware's ins. for family coverage runs. Thinking of applying
Just looking for a company that offers decent insurance for family coverage.
Did anyone hear back from MRC after applying from here or from the AAMT site? Not me. nm

Is it getting harder for anyone to get jobs now with all the people applying for them. How does
this seem to be going for most MTs looking for jobs. What seems to be the one factor that gets MTs a job before all the other 100 or so looking for the same job and what are the most desired qualities today that companies are looking for.
I wish people would just stop applying for these low paying jobs!
That would force them to pay better or do it themselves. When I did QA for 3 years I was paid $20 an hour in addition to a line rate of 4 cents a line. I often ended up typing part of the report because there were so many errors. I would never work for 3 cents a line doing anything! Just my 2 cents...
medware test
I took this test last week and I got an email from them saying I needed at least 96% to be considered and I only scored 95.7%, try again in 6 months. A LOUSY .3% and they turned me down!!!
Anyone take the Medware test
on line? I just did but unfortunately they could not go to the next level with me. I only had 80% out of 50 questions. I guess that is bad?
I took the Medware test also
and did absolutely horrible. It was not what I expected at all, not accustomed to multiple choice etc., I thought the test would be actually transcribing a few reports, I've done that before and always did well, but this test just threw me and neeless to say, I didn't get offered a job either LOL.
Medware test
Well if you cannot pass their test, you wouldn't be able to make it working for them. Many many ESLs.
Anyone take the online Medware test?

I don't think so. I got my test back from them but not from two others. I think it is becoming
common. I was embarrassed when I saw my test and made sure that the next one I took was better.
Why would you think it was Keystrokes? No one mentioned a company. I was thinking of an entirely different company. Just curious.
Thanks - I sent my test back Friday
so hopefully I'll hear back by the end of next week. I'm really interested in doing clinic notes so I hoping I did well enough.
I took over a week for them to get back to me, and I took a test over the phone, but that was SM
several years ago. Dont now about now.
So good to know! I took the test but have not heard back
I don't think I will take the job, but do you know if they even hire ICs? Just so I know! TXs
took their test and waited for eight months to hear back from then sm
by that time I had two different jobs. No the eight months is NOT A TYPO
I did apply, heard back, and took the first part of their test. nm

Just an FYI to people who test for FN
I already heard by this morning and am to go to the second portion of the test. E mail says all notifications are done by e mail. So, if anyone is curious, this is what happened with me.
Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago. Depends on current recruiters, I guess.
Even so, it is very unprofessional and rude to not reply back when someone took the time to test!!
I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
I paid people to test
Before half my work went to cheaper services, I paid people for their tests. Why look at old work for a test when I could send out a current sound file and grade it rather than work it up myself. Because I have moral standards, I would pop a check in the mail to the tester. I had to lay everyone off when they pulled all the easy ones and left me with the harder docs. It wasn't India that stole my biz but rather a desperate American MT who sold out the profession when she bid such a cheap rate. For her cheap rates, she gets the gravy work. I suppose I'm disillusioned now, but it's better than having illusions.
Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?
Will they get back to you?
Yippee - I finally got a call back and did the test files last night
I hate sent another email and even called, but she was out of office. When recruiter sent the test files, she apologized for being out of touch and even thanked me for my persistence.
By the way, I was not talking about Medscribe at all. It is a totally different company.
Wish me luck!
I just heard back that I passed the test and they asked when it was convenient to contact me by phon

Medware people seem happy sm
but I guess it depends on what status you are looking for.
Medware..Anyone know what they pay their speech editors. I have applied but havent heard back. I
was just curious if it was worth my time or not.
We have a lot of back up people too...
especially in the mornings, and then as their accounts start getting work my account starts building up some. We have even had OT in our account for the past month or so. I really expected more of a slow down for summer, and although it is down some, it seems to be a pretty good steady stream of work.
Who am I to tell people to get back to their keyboards...
How very professional you are! I bet you must be a CEO with that attitude! I am the voice of logic - stop wasting time complaining - enjoy life.
? crackface ? What kind of talk is that?!! My children have done very well with my advice, you have no idea!! Be positive, I bet you aren't very, just a guess.
Again, I am the voice of logical and positive thinking, your are wasting your time, that is WHO I am, lol
true about the people being rude, not to mention, don't call you back. nm

If you look back in the archives people left when they realized they couldn't make money with it.

Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using
s
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.

well then, maybe the only way they got a hold
of your name is that maybe you are from New York. Did you used to work for Ubiqus maybe????
lol, hold on now...
love the weather but the cost of living is high so my pay with my job versus your pay with your job might just equal out and weigh even. the good thing, though, is when we have meetings, we do the conference thing from home and use it as downtime.
hold
Anyone ever experienced having a hold put on a check they received from the company they work for?
I just did. The company said the funds have been released but bank still shows hold. I asked for another form of payment as I didn't want to wait for the hold to come off or possibly find the check returned and they actually had the gall to say, no-one else has had this problem. My reply, that's great for them but this is my situation. They also said, we just sent another check. Just what I need. Another worthless piece of paper!
Checks always late anyway so time to start job hunting again.
Why did they hold them out??? Did you

What degree do you hold?
I hold a bachelors in psychology and I wouldn't trade my education for anything. By the way, I've left MT and now have a great career in a completely different field thanks to my bachelor's degree. I'm now working towards my masters.
Hold my hand??? sm
How about returning my calls instead of hiding behind the answering machine!! How about answering one of my dozen emails!! Give it up Lee. You're just making the obvious more obvious.
Hold your ground everybody
They should only be able to get newbies or Indians for that rate. It seems like a lot of companies are hopping on the bandwagon to try to get away with offering lower and lower rates. I have noticed some companies later on bringing their rates back up a bit though - probably because they can't get any good MTs at that rate - so HOLD YOUR GROUND!!! I think it's doing some good already. I also recently read that some doctors and hospitals are requesting that they work be transcribed in the US only - which is good news!
ESP is quite good. You might want to hold
off on spending your money on ShortHand since you don't already have your shortcuts loaded on it. I did buy it because I'm used to having it, but ESP is really good and easy to use. The only thing I'm using Shorthand for is my long normal reports, but it's not really necessary.
You are right not to hold your breath
Sorry, but as much as I'm for the concept of free enterprise our system of cRapitalism breeds corruption and greed. Watch for this industry to be further diluted with regard to quality, benefits, pay, etc.
That 'doesn't' mean good jobs aren't possible, just that ever since the cRapitalists discovered there is $ in transcription, the industry was exploited... and the winners will generally 'not' be the worker bees. The 'new' generation coming into the field will not have the history (memory) of what it was like before, and because these jobs will still be higher-paying than many others, and allow one to work from home, finding 'worker bees' will likely not be too difficult, especially with the advent of VR...
Sorry to be a bummer - hope I'm proven wrong on this.
