The posts keep getting removed because of names being used, even though just informational, so PLEASE email the above email. Maybe your resume was not received. Our recruiter is on top of calls and emails (been with us since August and has turned that around since taking it over) and if she did not respond, she did not get it or followed up and you did not get it. If you were referred by someone please say so and please also say that you had sent it in previously. I will make sure that she gets it. However, I know that she does not respond to resumes without the experience necessary, offshore or students, as it says in the ads. She gets several hundred resumes a week and although we are growing, we are very particular about who is being hired, so she automatically does not consider those who do not meet the requirements and resumes/cover letters with typographical errors. Not trying to be rude, just stating facts. If you meet the requirements and did not get a response, send me an email.

DSG followup
DSG1 and 2 are code for US and overseas with most of the work going overseas. DSG has new management and they are lacking to say the least. If you have other options, I would encourage you to follow that path instead. DSG is not the company it used to be.
Followup to your question.
Since I am unsure at this moment who this individual is. But it won't take much to find out. Anyway, I am very sorry that someone had this perceived bad experience but posting things about our company or any other company that are not true is just plain wrong. I direct your attention to the part about dinging somebody for a report. NOT TRUE! It is unfortunate that things like this happen but to date, the individual has not called or emailed me so I can't even begin to fix the problem or discuss it with this individual. Thanks for asking.

There's nothing wrong with a followup
They really are a great company and they'll probably appreciate your interest in working for them.
I've been with them a couple of months. I heard back from them really quickly after testing and got started up right away, but judging from all the ads, they must be adding a lot of new accounts and new people.
Good luck. :)
Followup to your post
I worked for them for 2 days. I quit because they would not send the work when they said and would send more than the number of minutes that I told them I could do in a day. They said they would have the minutes uploaded to your FTP site by 9, it would usually be around noon and if you asked for 10 or 15 minutes of dictation, you could probably bet on closer to 23 or 30. The people were very nice, though.
EMTS followup
Well, I took your advice and went to EMTS. I will never look back. They restored my faith in working in transcription. You are correct. They are everything you say and more. Not only are they who they say they are, and do what they say but they treat you with RESPECT. Amazing isn't it? How being true to your word and treating a person with respect means so much these days. I highly recommend every qualified Transcriptionist and potential client check EMTS out. I am there to stay!
Escription followup
I realize I am replying to myself but I did want to make the point that if this big client thinks the files are NOT stored in a database on the internet and I can tell them that they are mistaken, perhaps we can make some headway in our cause to get rid of these people who change everything around so that we make less money.
Followup on comments
I would like to comment on your posts, as it is my help-wanted ad you are discussing. I have attempted to put as many details into my ad as possible, in order to answer all possible questions anyone might have before applying. My ad is not meant to be overbearing, rude, or pushy, but I realize it might appear that way to others because of all of the fine details I have written into it. I have amended the ad many times over the years due to certain situations that have occured. The part about if you love animals is due to the fact that I had a Transcriptionist working with me, who later told me that she did not like animals. Since she did not like animals, it reflected in her work, which is probably because the work did not hold her interest. I have read a lot of really vicious posts about myself and my company, none of which I feel is justified. I am sure I have hurt some feelings when returning test results and when informing others that they do not appear to be compatible with the current position, but I have always been diplomatic in my emails and polite when conducting phone interviews. I would like to set the record straight and let everyone know that I do NOT send out real work, hoping someone will do my job for me. When I test someone, they are typing actual dictation files, but the reports have already been typed and returned to the clinic. When testing potential applicants, I only send out two small dictation files at the most (sometimes only one), and the person below is obviously confused, or is blatently lying. Also, regardless of what some people might be saying/thinking, there are at least four new clinics that open each year. In the past six years, I have had five people leave their jobs voluntarily for their own personal reasons. My newest ad is posted because I have been short-handed for some time now due to all of the unexpected clinics thrown at me and because I recently had a transcriptionist pass away unexpectedly. I personally take the time to train each new person, and I can only handle training one person at a time because I have many other duties during the day, such as invoicing, payroll, emails, phone calls, typing the work from my own assigned clinics, etc. It takes at least one month for each new person to feel comfortable enough to go on their own with the work, so I am constantly behind on getting all of the clinics covered. As soon as one transcriptionist is out of training, I post my help-wanted ad and start all over again. Believe me, I would like nothing more than to hire someone and put them on their own right away, which would make my life a lot easier! However, the vet group I type for is very picky, which I can only blame on myself because they are spoiled and accustomed to having things done a specific way. I could write a book in trying to defend myself and my company name, but, unfortunately, I no longer have the time to chat with other transcriptionists like I used to do years ago. My main reason for posting a response is because I realize these posts will remain on the board for a very long time to come, and I am hoping potential applicants are not deterred from applying because of what has been posted at this site.

BTW, tradmt, I remember you very well. I send out the questionnaire to everyone that is applying, which alerts me right away when there might be a compatibility problem with the position I am trying to fill. Not only did you have Windows XP and Word 2007, but you also did not have a medical dictionary and other items that I listed in my ad were necessary for the job. I spent a great deal of time answering all of your questions through email and felt I was very polite with my responses, but you apparently took it personally that you were not a good candidate for the position that I needed to fill. Had I hired you, I would have had to wait for you to purchase the necessary items, and we would have experienced many problems because of your work environment, which would have ultimately made you quit in frustration. I send the same questionnaire and tests out to everyone who is applying, and I ultimately choose the most compatible person for the position because it saves a lot of time on both ends. As I recall, after I took the time to respond to your many questions, you sent me a rude email in response. There are times when I tell very qualified transcriptionists that they are not compatiable with the position, simply because I know from past experience that there will be problems and/or delays when getting started in training.
Followup on ChartNet
Just a followup, if anyone is interested...On my second day at MedScribe and transcribed over 1,000 lines. Love the Chartnet and still do not use all of the little shortcuts it offers. You were right about ChartNet.
Precyse feedback followup
Many thanks for all responses. Searched archive messages extensively and found the same picture. Trying to figure out what accounts for this wide range of replies. Would like to fire off a couple of questions and comments to keep this little debate going a bit longer:
RE: me/Well they offshore...Agreed. Offshoring is a HUGE turn-off, especially if it affects work load of stateside employees to any frequently noticeable degree. Just not sure I can afford to cross every single offshore outsourcing company off my list of potential employers. As for the TM/QA not returning IM/emails, I look at it this way. Take the best advantage of the 100% QA time while in training, then cut and run with it, assuming that the account profiles are thorough, clearly lucid. Would much rather have too little or no oversight at all than someone breathing down my neck all the time. All I can do is rely on my best judgment from 20 years of transcribing and keep reminding myself that part of my job is to meet account criteria, follow instructions and not to get my feelings hurt if someone disagrees with me about where to put a comma. If I take issue at all with a correction or instruction, will try to document my case and present it to someone....if nobody is home, then I do what I think is right and best until otherwise instructed. Regarding the advice to get it in writing, my experience tells MS that the best shot anybody hsas is to try to cover all bases during hiring process, especially on scheduling, pay rate and benefits. Don't think I can expect a 100% guarantee of work load. I can't predict the future and neither can they.
RE: Precyse MT/Info on Precyse...Agreed. Independence is the answer. On the work flow issue, in the past I have tried searching for work on different shifts, even checking into the system on my days off, to make up as much difference as possible, assuming I can get away with that. Work slumps are ususally brief and temporary. They told me that I would have one primary and one back-up account. I briefly mentioned having access to a third one and she did not rule that out (it possible). Might be worthwhile to try to negotiate that as as a condition of my employment and get it in writing. What do you think? Encouraged by your comments on WebCorrect, but have one question. She told me their comupter is small. Does that mean a 15 screen? Wonder if I can use my own (Sony) monitor?
RE: nm/I work on ET...Getting ready to show a little ignorance. What is ET?
RE: Daisy/Been there a month now...How long did it take you to get off of 100% QA? They told me that the first QA assessment should be 98.5% or above and line rate adjustment will be made at that point. Were you satisfied with that? You got enough access to samples, templates, etc? Good account profiles provided? If you got used to everything in a month, sounds like you are doing pretty good. If you don't mind, can I ask if you have been transcribing for a long time? Certainly I don't need anybody to hold my hand, can work independently well, but still cautious. The jury's still out. LOL.
RE: HappywithoutPS....You were sort of casual about the system great, pay good, everything great part. On a day-to-day basis, in terms of what makes the job hard or not, those are the things that count the most (sound quality, platform, expander, access to samples, acct profiles, etc). Poor people skills? I transcribe medical reports for a living. I stay hooked up to electronic voices 40 hours a week or more. Expect myself to work well under pressure for my own survival. Deadlines, nit-picking, all part of the scene. Always been that way, always will be. My people skills are the best either. Never felt the need to brownnose, just try to keep myself under the radar, be dependable, do my job, be as good as I can be, etc. Don't look for validation of my self-esteem from others, not family, not friends, not employers, not even spouse. I cover that territory for myself. Control issues? Not me. Had to cut that loose at around age 40 or I really would have lost it. Can't control anything about my life that lies beyond my own nose. Much better off trying to roll with the punches. Of course I work when the work is there. How else can I make a living? By the way, I'm kind of into numbers myself...line count, pay rate, hours worked, paycheck totals, etc. Hey, if I can't get feedback from TM/QA, I am really left with no choice but to make my own decisions and see where that takes me. Surely, I would hear from them when they need to correct me. Hey, it's water off the duck's back.
I am only guessing that the discrepancies may be partly explained by what you do with the cards you are dealt, especially where the accounts are concerned. You either fit or you don't. It's all a roll of the dice anyway. If it's not snake eyes, you move on. Life's too short.
Hope to get a few more hits before laying this issue to rest. Thanks for all the help.
after your interview did YOU ever place a followup
When to call for a followup to an interview?
I had a telephone interview last week and was told I would hear from another department in my state soon to interview. I was told that my information would be sent to the office in my location. A week has gone by and I have not heard anything. I do not want to appear pushy, but should I call and inquire why I have not heard from anyone or is this too soon. This is for an outside position I really want.
Great followup email
Finally! The way I've been doing things for years and years is finally going to pay off for me.
I go over my reports a 2nd time and try to get all blanks before submitting. Do you all remember back in the day BEFORE there was any official QA? It was the MT!!
:)
assigned work followup
 I would not have cared so much had I not already worked a FULL month of overtime. Also, it was radiology which I cannot stand! If I wanted to do radiology I would have kept my other job. Not only are these short and do not give lines, they just stink. Just my opinion. Sorry all MTs who like doing them, I do not.
I applied, tested, returned my paperwork and NOTHING.. no followup ...NOTHING
Disorganization is my number 1 pet peeve and reason for NOT going any further with a company. I used my time to apply and test and fax paperwork back so you'd think they could have done their part and at least followed up. I could even assume that maybe they didn't get my paperwork, that does happen with fax machines, but you would have thought someone would have emailed, called, something to ask where it was. I would not accept a position with a company like that. My thoughts are this....if they are so unorganized that they cannot receive the paperwork and get you going, then am I sure that I will get my checks on time and that they will not get ignored or put aside. So, for me, I'd give them a thumbs down.
Get those resumes out.
Do not permit a company to abuse you. You're worth way more than that. I don't care what the excuse is, but the first sign of late pay is the first sign to find a new job. I have no tolerance for this kind of crookery, none at all. Best wishes...
There are tons of jobs out there for the taking. What is a good fit for one may not be for another, and I wish you the best of luck. I feel the larger the company the better off you are as far as timely pay, not to say that a smaller company isn't a good payer, but it seems the larger ones have more of a handle on it.
Never sign a contrast as an IC that says they'll pay you when they get paid. That's not how to do good business. 
Resumes....i am so done......sm
I have been doing MT for 13 years. I have sent out resumes to about 10 different places. NOT ONE ACKNOWLEDGMENT, not one reply to my emails asking whether or not the positions have been filled.
To all MTSOs who read this board...Why not just answer/reply/respond to our emails? That is so unprofessional and this just kills any respect I ever had for any MTSO at this point.
Collecting resumes?
I don't understand why they didn't at least call you. Did you have hospital and clinic experience? Sounds like you must have as you also edited, taught, and managed. What reasons do you think they would have transcription positions for close to 5 years? Do you think high turnover or collecting resumes?
I don't keep resumes on file, so...
I often get people who send their resume in multiple times in response to different job postings. That being said, if the applicant doesn't have the qualifications listed in the ad, their resume goes straight to the recycle bin without a response.
Resumes and applications
I handle resumes and applications (via email) for a national company. I would like to give some resume and application tips as I am amazed every single day at what gets sent to me with the expectation that the applicant be considered for a professional, paying position.
Please consider the following:
-- Please do yourself a huge professional favor: Make sure your email address is professional. It is far better to have an email address janedoe334@hotmxxxx than to have funkydoglover6@xxxx or thejoneses@xxx. Your first and last name (even if it has to be followed by numerics) would be best and if you need numerics why not add your zip code? Please. You will sound responsible, mature, and serious about your professional identity.
-- Please make sure your resume is an attachment. It is best not to embed a resume unless the application or employer specifically asks you to. Most embedded resumes sent in emails come with all the code and I simply will not wade through it all to see if there is something there to consider.
-- When you write your resume, make sure your contact information is at the top, including an address, your phone number(s) and email address. (I suggest you print off your resume and have someone else proof it for errors, inconsistencies, formatting issues, etc.)
-- Name your resume appropriately. Please don't attach it simply called Resume. It would be best to name it with your first and last name and the word Resume in caes it gets separated from your email or, better yet, if it is saved to a file without the email!! (Example: JaneDoeResume)
-- Please, oh please, state in the subject line what position you are applying for. Who is interested in an applicant who cannot even take the time to state what position they are applying for? Not me! I doubt many are.
-- Please send one email with resume for each position you apply for. If you apply for three positions, I can only electronically file your email/resume in one position folder and you may be overlooked when collecting folders.
-- Please make some type of statement in the email and don't just send a blank email with the resume attached. Just a simple, Please consider my attached resume in application for XXXX position is just fine. A summary or synopsis of your qualifications or your life's history really is not necessary in the email because we are going to study your resume for that information. A brief cover letter-type email is fine but it should read within the single window pane without scrolling.
-- Last, but not least, please read over your email for errors (should go without saying, I know) and remember to attach your resume! It is so much more difficult to keep up with multiple emails because the resume was left off, then you want to add another piece of information, etc. Do not be in such a hurry that your application email shows it. As well, if you are applying for several positions and you are doing a copy/paste of the email content, make sure you change any job position titles within the email appropriately.
I really hope you will find this information useful -- I know for all the individuals who handle this information on the incoming will certainly make note of an outstanding resume/email application and sometimes that extra, Hey, this applicant has done a great job in presenting herself thus far can go a long way!
Corporate Anonymous
Sent resumes twice and never heard from them. nm
s
They have probably been overwhelmed with resumes since
they have been discussed so much lately. I sent a resume and was offered a position without testing within just a few days of submitting it. I accepted the position and they said it would take 1 to 2 weeks to get all the paperwork done, equipment, and get clearance from the account to access their system. I ended up not accepting the position so not sure how long it would really take to get going.
I only heard from 1 out of 5 resumes I sent out
nm
Oh please, if you weed through the BS resumes
potential candidate! I was a recruiter for about 4 years and you should be able to read a resume in about 30 seconds before you want to consider that candidate.
They have been inundated with resumes lately
Please e-mail them again or call the office if you don't hear from them soon though.
Are they accepting resumes? sm
I used to work for them about 2 years ago on acute care and had to quit because everything they had required high speed internet and I only had dialup at the time. I now have high speed and would be interested in working on one of their radiology accounts. What are the line requirements for radiology? Where would I apply? There is no place on their website to apply. Thanks.
On past resumes I have put...
Available on request in the Reason for Leaving box. I had a past boss who was verbally abusive (not Oh, he hurt my feeling because he said I was working slow or something...I mean truly abusive) and I have used the Available on request in that box for that particular job many time and have been asked what the situation was before, but have never been treated like this was a strange way to handle the Reason for Leaving box. I have also completley omitted this job for certain resumes.
My sincere condolances on the passing of your father.
Put about 20 resumes out on different MT job sites
Waited for someone to contact me and they did. It will happen eventually. You need to be specific with what you want and don't want. It's an everyday chore until you get the offer that best suits you.
Personally I think they "bank" resumes
in case they happen to get something that calls for an MT to travel, but I have sent at least 3 to them in the past 2 years and never heard a peep out of them. Either they have a ton of people to call on or they don't get that many of these opportunities.
They have our resumes, see our work during testing and
moron
Oh, I fact check their resumes. And you are right..
Many do lie like crazy on resumes, or at least exaggerate. That isn't even specific to MT, but IMO, it happens more in MT. A lot of MTSOs probably don't check before hiring and that's a bad habit to get into. I got burned one time and that's all I needed so I know check it all! It doesn't take long to make a few phone calls and it saves a lot of time and heartache and hassle later.
That is why I really frown on job hopping. If they hit the ground running every time there's a slow period, I'm not interested. Slowdowns are part of the territory (and I'm not talking MQ-scale slowdowns, just the usual ones..lol) and I don't want someone jumping ship every time we hit one.
That being said, I do realize that some people have many jobs listed due to circumstances beyond their control and I do take that into consideration. It's usually fairly easy to spot the ones who just hop for the sake of hopping as opposed to the ones who hopped around for a bit just trying to find their niche.
Anyone else sending out resumes and hearing nothing?
I have 16 years in the business and 4-5 years editing experience, but am just not hearing back from companies advertising on the boards. Maybe they are receiving 100s of resumes...or is it just me? Anyone know of a company looking for an editor, please email me. Thanks!
I've also been sending out resumes and not
I've heard back from a few places wanting me to test and often don't even hear back after the test! I have over 17 years of experience and I can't be doing THAT bad on tests. I think it is probably that they are being inundated with responses.
To be honest, I do not expect a response from every single company I send my resume to. I do expect to hear back from a company once I've tested for them when it is at their request, however! I've hired before and know that when you get scads of emails, many from the same people over and over again, it gets hard to keep track of sending out I got your resume emails. If I emailed someone and asked them to test, though, I would most certainly let them know one way or the other.
I recently tested for a company that I had heard good things about and then never heard one word again. Not even that they received my test files back. I decided right then and there I wouldn't work for them anyway because that's just rude. It takes time out of our day to test and to not hear back--when they requested it--is pretty lame, IMO.
Jax probably got 100s of resumes. Did even 1 MT get a reply
s
TT web site not accepting resumes?
Hey y'all, just tried to send TT my resume by using their website resume sender lol I tried sending it on IE (gave me a 404 error) and on Netscape (it just sat there). Anybody have an email address I can send it to? Thanks! JC
I used to work for a national and when we ran an ad, we would get 200-300 resumes. sm
These all came at once, so it was a little time-consuming to get through them. Email or call because the squeaky wheel does get the grease!
Great suggestions! I know many believe that their resumes SM
should be five pages long and reflect every single job they've ever had, but the truth is when trying to get an MT job, only your MT work history is relevant, and work history is only relevant once you've landed the interview. Your resume should highlight your skills relevant to the position applying, any industry related organizations you belong to, etc.
Having said that, I created a separate document where I keep a complete list of every single medical transcription job I have held starting with the very first one. I list company name, address, phone number, supervisor, and dates employed. I created this document because when I went back to work for an actual hospital, their offer was based on years experience and I was told to provide them with everything MT job I've ever had so they could make the best possible offer. So I now keep this document updated always just in case, but it never goes out with my resume and it only goes out when and if I am told my years experience has direct bearing on what kind pay they offer.
If an MTSO requests a references, I provide them with my three more recent employers and three personal references. If they want proof of my 20 years experience, I happily provide them with my complete list.
Back in the stone ages when I was in high school, I took a course at the vo-tech school called office occupations. It was taught by this little old fashioned lady who believed a woman should always wear a skirt and heels to work and fetch her boss coffee. My teacher did, however, provide me with some useful tips that are still relevant today as far as resumes go. She said your resume should only be one page long and its only purpose is to get you an interview. It should grab a persons attention and make them want to know more. So never give away too much info on the resume. Your ultimate goal should always be a personal face to face or phone to phone (in today's world) meeting.
Anyway, that's my rambling for the evening. 
Flooding of resumes on job posts
Sent a couple of resumes recently and getting an automatic answer from several companies that due to the influx of so many resumes, it will be impossible to even see them all. If I have more than 3 years' experience it will be kept in the file for 6 months until they get to it.
The most recent automatic answer I got was from a company which did not even put an ad out. It was one where I found great posts on another board after doing a lot of archive searching.
Is this because of recent MQ paycuts and problems, and because C-bay bought it out. Perhaps the time has come for the work pool to be flooded with more competition if the giant of MQ is finally seeing a walk-out. Also, the other biggies like Spheris and Transcend seem to be losing a lot of people.
Anybody have any idea on this? Not only do we have the influx of new graduates, and now the really experienced hospital MTs who have been with MQ for so long, but we also have India too... are the odds growing less that our resumes will even be seen, I wonder...
I just hope that all the MQ people and everyone here in the US finds a good home and soon. We all deserve a good job and I just wonder how we will get through this time. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated, or just a good we are all in this together post would be appreciated.
Yikes! Send resumes out right away. Try some of
I suggest Transtech. They are hiring, and are safe! E mail them and follow up with a call. You need a job! Please consider this a good thing because if the job that just did this would fire you like that on a whim, they are not worth working for, but I assume you have bills to pay!! Please try sending your resume quickly to a couple of reputable companies like Transtech. I can't think of any other. I used to work for MDI-MD but can't recommend them anymore. So many I can say don't send to... but I can recommend TT. Please try the best you can to get on board somewhere ASAP! We are out here pulling for you... and once you are settled let us know you are okay!
They never respond to emails, resumes, etc.

the circle game of resumes and ads
Same old ads, same old resumes. Nothing is going to change, people. We are stuck with each other.
Happy Labor Day. Or should I say Groundhog Day? If you catch my drift.....
If their ad is gone, they probably got swamped with resumes & aren't hiring. nm

Why send resumes? Take the online tests.
Most of these outfits have online tests. You'll hear back a lot quicker, I'm sure.
resumes do not take that long, especially when you have had only 1 job..make it with your word sm
processor and send.
I'm not sending resumes but a few months ago I posted my
resume on a couple of job boards and didn't hear from anyone. I am not currently looking for a job and have had 2 companies contact me in the last week. I have 20 years' experience in acute care and can do ESLs. I was really surprised that I didn't hear from anyone for several months.
Wanted to say thanks for all your back and forth here. I ended up with several resumes looking for
I guess if you slam a company on here, everyone already knows you are a disgruntled ex-employee with no skills and know that there are openings available. I appreciate as we have so many new accounts coming in and just starting. I really needed the extra ICs. WOW This is awesome!!
Those Dunkin Donuts type of resumes
get ditched. I usually will write the MT and ask them if they forgot the part about the MT work they did. Then I tell them that I do not need to know about any other work experience other than MT. Most of the time, you do not get a response back because they have never done MT!
MBB Transcription. Is it true that they are just gathering resumes for OSI?
TIA
No but it is my job to weed out applicants based on their resumes. sm
I cannot speak for Keystrokes, but I doubt any company would hire you with typos. This is in any industry, but especially in transcription. This is one of the first things you are told when you are looking for a job. I learned that back in college, and I was an engineering major, not anything to do with transcription.
I work for a company that is much larger than Keystrokes, and if they get half the garbage we get in resumes, they are definitely frustrated. I know I am!
I've sent resumes twice in the last 4 months. No reply. nm
