if you think they are so discourteous sm
then maybe you don't need to work for them. These companies get tons of resumes everyday. They try and match what is on your resume with what they have open. Have you sent them another e-mail. Use to be people that were persistent and followed up got the jobs because they showed a sincere interest. Now its the company should chase you down etc. etc, whine whine!

Never said dont inform co, be discourteous, etc.

Thanks. I did what you suggested

Someone on this board suggested . .
doing it this way. Hold down the control key, push the up down wheel on your mouse up or down, it will make the font bigger or smaller. Just remember to change it back before exiting the document.

I suggested that to them one time -
They acted like I had lost my mind! I think those with the power to assign work pools have forgotten what it is like to type reports with all kinds of different specifics for hospitals all over the place with hundreds and hundreds of docs and even more referring docs. My pool is set to where I switch back and forth all day long between these hospitals with different specifics. It is pretty grueling!

I'm not the OP, but what you suggested is hilarious and
absolutely not true.

I have not responded yet. It was suggested that
we should let them know when we were ready to train. I figure when It gets to the point when I am not getting my required lines for the pay period, I will left them know I need the training.

thanks...I did what you suggested....the info helps.

Someone suggested everyone has overhired a lot of former MedQuist people -
Not sure if this is true or not, but it is one possibility. A friend of mine says her checks have been less than half what they normally are for June AND July. Let's hope it picks up for us all soon!

Advise is in SpellCheck. So maybe you should have suggested Proofing Ms Grammar Police.
