A couple of days
You should hear back in just a couple of days. Be ready for a long telephone interview.
They got back with me within a couple of days. nm
not just these days over the last couple years
revolving door lol

It took TTS a couple days to call me..
But it was definitely worth the wait. Actually, If i remember correctly, they were the last response i got to my resume, but ended up being the best all around offer on the table at that time.
Someone asked that a couple of days ago....
xx
I would write them an email if it has been a couple of days.
Never hurt to try.
I did 2 tests the last couple of days, both through mttest, though
the tests were different. One test took about probably 45 minutes and that didn't include the transcription part. I started the transcription and the dictation was so horrendous - sound quality really bad, barely able to hear any of the dictation, 2 ESL docs, and 1 really fast talking U.S. doc. I do about 90% ESL, but goodness. I have nearly 20 years' experience and I have decided it just isn't worth my time to do the transcription part. I'm trying to get out of a stressful situation currently, and this didn't seem like it was going to be the answer. I know that it was only a small representation, and I feel sorry for anyone without lots of experience trying to take the test.
The second test was so easy and even with transcribing the dictation I think it only took me 45 minutes tops.
I don't know why I continue to test and look for another position, because I'm fairly comfortable with my dictators, my company leaves me alone 99% of the time, good line counting program, etc. and I turn down every position I'm offered because: 1 - no one offers me as much money (even though I'm not making gobs of money); 2 - no one offers me the flexibility that I currently have, although I don't have as much as I used to have; 3 - I've got 5 years invested in this company and I know what to expect; 4 - while QA is pretty stringent I'm 99% or better and go weeks at a time without getting anything back ....... I just need a change of pace, but at the same time I don't like change, I don't want to learn new dictators, don't want to learn a new format, don't want to learn the quirks of QA and all the other stuff that goes along with a new account/new company.
I think the last 6 months I've tested and been offered 8 positions and some companies continue to call me and none has anything better to offer me.
It wouldn't be in the archives yet...it's only a couple of days old...
here is a link to it. I believe it is on page 3 or four of the company board.

I do my daily or every couple days after my shift. Much easier (nm)

The hiring process usually takes a couple of days,
but depending on the account it can take about 2 weeks to actually be working.
I gave a couple of days notice, just til September 1st...
The day the merger actually occurred. It was about 3-4 days' notice.
don't worry, these kinds of heated threads always die down in a couple of days

I give her a couple more months and she will take a serious nose dive. She has to keep replacing he
and start all over cheating them out of money.
Don't they give you 30-60 days to get up to speed? Can you ask for clinic? nm

Company begins with a "T"
This woman has forever subcontracted work out under the guise of hiring for her own company. You end up making significantly less than you would working for the company you're typing for. Seems like this should be illegal. Don't know how she is getting companies to go along with this. I guess its the having no respect part of companies. I know of a couple of companies where the supervisor also gets a cut of the lines that are produced thats why perhaps they crack that whip because they know its going to affect their pay. This just gets more and more ridiculous and Im thankful I don't have to type. I will have to say I am so glad Im with a company that I believe is totally on the up and up with MTs. I won't give the name here because I will just be accused of trying to recruit which I am not.
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
Yes - it's the 2nd largest national, begins with S. :) NM

Does anyone know the name of the MT service in Austin, TX? Begins with an R.
No it's a company in California begins with a
Everyone for the most part is friendly and helpful. It's just this one QA person who is rude and demeaning. I've been at this for over 15 years now. I get reports back with blanks she is not able to fill in but a report filled with commas and changed words that I KNOW where not dictated. When I questioned that I'm not given any explanation on how this was possible when I know it was not dictated. I think that is what may have triggered the attitude. I've already started looking so I can be prepared when I've had enough.
Are you by chance hired for the new acct which begins sm
next week? Aren't you working on the staging platform now (and being paid hourly) until that work goes live?
Each journey begins with one small step.
If one hospital/MTSO sees the folly of VR, the lawsuits, etc., they will stop this NONSENSE. Thank you for your validation of my efforts.
Very few MTSOs pay for holidays. Some give you 6 days you can use for holidays or regular PTO, but

I'm not kicking anything. Someone asked
shared my experience. I really don't think a $110 loss on my taxes is going to make or break me. I'm just giving people the heads-up on this company and how nasty they can be.
Seems like you are kicking a dead dog. (sm)
I assume you have contacted them yourself. Sorry, but I have no idea why they didn't give you work or why you had to pay shipping yourself. I understood the standard was they gave you a shipping label, you called Fed Ex and they picked up and delivered said package.
I assume you did deduct this as a loss from your taxes in the past?
Insurance kicking in ..
Yes, Heartland does, and it is a good thing because you will need to have your death benefit available for your family to survive after you choke your own self for taking a position with them! 
Okay. I will. Thanks for kicking my rear out once and for all
And if you are management, just to let you know, you will get my resignation in a week or so. I know, you will be glad to see me go, so I won't let the door hit me on the way out... Thanks for being so supportive of my decision to quit.
But what about those accused of kicking
trying to get MTs to see there is alternative to staying a vicitm. I have been accused of down kicking but have done no such thing. And would welcome my quotes that others seem to think are down kicking.
If this company begins with D, your pay goes back to new-hire rate if there are ANY blanks in it

So kicking and screaming will do no good, huh?

Husband ditto here. Kicking out...
yet, he does not believe me when I say I am trying my best to get the work. Ug.
or a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest (nm)
This sounds like a Lee post. She's here alive and kicking.
And she won't go away. Unprofessional and not changing.
the email addy is because it keeps kicking back
There are about four people who have that email addy (it's just like yahoo, hotmail or aol), but this particular email addy keeps kicking back as undeliverable.
MTstars was the only place that this position was posted, so this is why I reposted it ... so that I could get in touch with those particular people.
You are most definitely upset that your Bush **s-kicking ways have rendered your eyes caught in the
Without MTs, companies would not exist. You and many others have no regard nor respect for hard-working MTS. You can't take it with you. I feel sorry for you. Do the right thing...and, you know what that is.
You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
Maybe she/he works 14 hour days/7 days a week? nm

Would that be 5 business days or 5 regular days?
So when are we going to be paid this time around since you're so knowledgable?
Sorry, but for some of us a day or 2 actually makes a difference.
Most want 20 hours over 5 days, but it could be more, or it could be spread over 4 days. nm

It is true. Any job has its good days and bad days.
Perhaps you'd like to just keep your old job and try this one out. Just because a poster here is crabbing about it, or even if as in the past there have been negative posts, odds are that there are very happy people who don't even post or know that this board exists. As Alice says. Everything is relative. The fact that this company is hiring and pays may be a place which is a blessing. As opposed to digging ditches on day labor for example. Or somebody might prefer digging ditches. This is just an example. Sometimes we who are employable, even though we don't make as much as we used to in this business, or as much as we would like to, we still if working at home do not pay for gas to go to work, career clothes, deal with office politics, have to look at a boss who writes us up if we are a minute late, etcetera. I don't make half as much as I used to, but I don't send my 3 children to day care which by the way saves us money. SO I remind my husband I am worth that in addition to my salary if I had a job outside. No job is perfect. I am not even sure if Focus is any good or not, I have not worked there. But if one poster says there are good days and bad, I say that is the most honest answer you are going to get anywhere, and if you need a job badly, how is it to hurt trying it out, until you know for sure for yourself? THanks for listening. But sometimes this board gets to be a bit much with the agendas of people railing on other people like the OP here who just wanted all opinions instead of just one side. Balance is always great. And, if things seem lop-sided, then it is a good thing to seek out both sides. IMHO.
I think they would. Those are good days for 10-hour days. sm
I have a set schedule but it is Tues-Sat and it works well for me. It wouldn't hurt to ask!
90 days is correct. 3 days off 1st year, 10 during 2nd.
nm
They used to give out $25 Amex cheques -- give them time. :-) nm
Were the 2 days weekend days? sm
They expect everyone to work a weekend day. Their definition of team player is to actually work 6 or 7 days a week. One might consider it if the pay was there & she gave out some decent work. It is the ideal place to work if you are a workaholic with no life.
