someone who talks to
applicants is still the recruiter, even if the company is run out of a cardboard box down by the river. (Hey .. . that would make them more proximal to the unemployed MTs driven to poverty by the ridiculous pay scales currently . . ) Good recruiting tactic.
Money talks! sm
After I do what is required and there is extra work at both places, I start with the one with the higher line rate and/or the one I am more productive on. If I am going to put in extra time, I want to make it worth my while.
Yup! "Money talks" !

I wouldnt even go there. Recruiter leaves a lot to be desired.
Make sure you read the fine print on how you'll be penalized your whole check if the QA in India finds an error in your work. It gets interesting. Now, who do you think it benefits for them to find errors such as punctuation etc..QA based out of India.. things that make you go hmmmm.... The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. There are far better companies out there to work for but best wishes...
Apex platform leaves a lot to be desired
I couldn't make any lines on it. Feel free to email me if you want more details. They do seem to be nice people.
I agree that ExText leaves a lot to be desired...sm
it even seems like there are days it is better than others. How does that work? Shouldn't the same endoscopy report, almost completely canned, always populate the same way?
Yeah, I feel sold out, even after all those pep talks :(

Medical Transcription Clerk! When you...sm
click for more info it goes nowhere. It sounds like this position regulates the work flow and does QA?
Thank you sweetie!!
I know, you only have to be in this situation to ever think it will happen to you, but hey, we have our health, right!!! LOL!!!! That's what everyone wants to say. People can be cruel, but that's life. I appreciate people like you and sometimes you have to have all of these hardships to be the compassionate and nice people you are. See, you posted and made me feel really good. I appreciate that!!!
Sweetie
I have been called worse things in my life! They are a great company to work for (been doing this for 20+ years), but I better be quiet now because people are getting tired of hearing about TT!
BTW, I am NOT your SWEETIE and sm
if you were an MTSO why did you work all those 19 hour days if you are so against it now? Simply because you had to because you were an MTSO. Well the folks that work for MTSOs have to work when the work is there! But then you should know that huh?
Robert's a sweetie.

HR Department at Keystrokes is a director, a clerk/secretary sm
and a recruiter. The director is new but only does the legal stuff and is working on the benefits package, etc. The clerk is doing the paperwork. The recruiter is doing the recruiting, interviewing, checking references, passing hire info on. The pieces are in place now and you just validated what has just been put in place. I know there is talk of a second recruiter, one for radiology and one for medical records, but I think this is still in the baby stages. The HR Director heads the department but will not recruit.
Yes I'm an MT not a data entry clerk working for free
Hoorah! I'm still a step ahead of a gas station clerk. n/m
f
seriously....Sweetie?.....stop already; it was not much of a brag;
nm
Oh no sweetie. I have done acute care also. (sm)
I also had my own business and did work the 19-hour days. And back then, I was making 0.10 cpl, right out of school! So, I have worked in all fields.
I have been in a position of having to have a paycheck, but that does not mean I am going to jump on the next street corner just to get the money. That is selling yourself short. And that is what the MTSOs have done to this profession; not the MTs who refuse to work weekends.
Gosh.. really a "former" insurance clerk. I cannot believe you qualified for such a honored po
Wow, an insurance clerk. What kind of education do you need for that. I feel your best suited for a position that would include working as the spelling police. Some people.. You should get a life!
sounds like the night watchman (lead/clerk/supervisor?) goes to - sm
...goes to bed at 10 and ships the work out.
I've been in this business since 1978, sweetie

Me either, but I need gas to get to grocery store
where prices have also tripled, go to the doctor, and used to be I needed it to go to a movie once in a while but can't afford that now.
Ms. Transcender, why don't you get a cheerleading skirt and apply for that rah-rah teamleader position so you can send out all those e-mails with inappropriate capitalization and the obsessive use of !!!!!!!!!!!!!
so you make everyone think you are overworked. You would think that with 6 accounts I could stay busy, but I guess I cannot compete with those fast fingers from India.
LOL! They have a store? Oh goody. SM
I wouldn't call all the pay average either. Offshoring on every account, except one, that I know of.
If you are a new MT, it would be perfect for most of the other positives she listed. If you are not new, may be better to find some other place.
If they'd tell us up front what is in store for us, they would
save us all a lot of time. Is it too much to ask to have an idea of the type of audio, dictation, the details that can make or break the enjoyment of a job? After 25 years, I have paid my dues and would like to have an account that is enjoyable, gives me an income I can live on and a management team that doesn't use the drill sargeant approach. What is up with all the rude attitudes? Maybe the account they acquired should either be dropped or charged more if no one wants to transcribe their work. That, in turn, would snap lazy inconsiderate dictators out of their mode of let the MT figure it out/look it up. While they rake in the money because time is money and when I am not typing in a report, folks, i am not making any money. The day I meet a woman/man who does this job as a hobby, I'll rethink my stand.
Tired of the MT paycuts; wondering how hard it is to go to billing or file clerk or something!! nm
No sweetie, you were coming to branching, thank your company by their email.

My son applied for a department store once, sm
and they asked him all kinds of psychologic questions - it was just weird.
I bet by the end of the year the scrapbook store
will be gone too, how will it survive with no QT money?
They are actually in India, have a store front
location in MA, not Maryland.
If you go to the same store every day and spend a lot of money and your neighbor
and the storeowner gives your neighbor a $50 discount for being a new shopper, would you feel entitled to a discount because you gave the shopper so much of your business? Better yet, big insurance companies send a lot of business to doctors and hospitals and they get discounts on the medical bills that individual patients with no insurance can't get. Are the big insurance companies entitled to this because they give more business than the individual patients?
If these posts from just a few weeks ago are any indication of what we have in store for us, I'm
hoping to get out ASAP. http://forum.mtstars.com/main/v/1/131261.html
You won't find a foot pedal at a computer store.
I'd recommend using Express Scribe (google for url and download it for free) and just use function keys to test. Some foot pedals are interchangeable and work with different programs, some are proprietary and only one foot pedal with work with the software so I wouldn't buy one anyway until you know what you will need.
It is an Indian run company with a store front office in the US. If you are
working without a contract you're asking for trouble. They have no obligation to pay you if there is no contract.
Had a conversation similar to this at the drug store today
One of the ladies behind the pharmacy counter talking about raising kids. I was telling her what a wonderful life now that the kids are grown and out. I guess you can say this matronly woman is having the time of her life. I have good money coming in, in fact now getting in more than my union husband does each month, travel when I want and those golden years. Now I know where that saying comes from. This is the best years of my life right now. The pharmacy person asked me did I not miss those years with the children. I told her did I miss struggling? Heck no. Did I miss the yah, yah, yah, again heck no. Ladies you just do not know what you are missing if not, as you call it, a matron.
That is so sweet of you to say. Thank you!
Amphion rocks. I will always say that:)
Sweet - Thanks !!!! NM
sm
That is so sweet - thank you! sm
I still like to have Christmas off with my two, who are 11 and 8 and that is so kind and thoughtful of you to think of it the way that you do!! I hope you have wonderful holidays yourself!
That's so sweet!
In the meantime, this month a relative gave me some 'fall-back' money to put in my anemic, terminally-ill little bank account.
In the meantime, I'm still looking for something that pays a little more realistically than MT. This business is a total disgrace, isn't it?
short and sweet is the way to go (sm)
I would not offer a lot of details. People leave jobs all the time, they are used to it. Be professional and polite. Keep it simple is my advice.
How sweet for you to be so enamoured with me! :)
.
such a sweet bust!

Sweet recruiter
... Way to go!!! You have my vote!! Who do you work for?
Bet your sweet a** the AC won't get it back in TAT
.
What a sweet post :-)
Thank you for your kind words, Irish. May you and your loved ones have a blessed and healthy 2009! :-)
short and sweet
They stink. They send a ton to offshore. They rip off the MT. They buy up small companies and then change all the rules eventually to be uniform with Transcend policies. Just my opinion.
.09/.057 would be sweet, wouldn't it? i'd take that...
but not .04 for VR
she's sweet as pie then spits like a cobra. RUN FAR AWAY.

meant sweet not sweek
nm
Yes, isn't that sweet? I feel all cozy now.....nm

Don't fall for the sweet talk.
The recruiter is the sweetest person in the world when trying to sucker you in, but will bite you in the back like a viper after a while. The honeymoon phase was wonderful, but then they started changing all the terms that I had agreed to one by one, including a cut in pay. She got really mean and nasty towards then end and I just quit. I didn't need to be treated like that.
a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
And an MT is now a *clerk,* according to the posting on the job board. I'd like to apply for Head Cluck when it becomes available. Then you've got your Lead Cluck, and your Editor Cluck, QA Cluck, Cluck Manager, VP of Cluckdom, Supercluck, CEC and CFC (Chief Executive Cluck, and Chief Financial Cluck) and we all work for Clucks-R-Us. 
Is breaking the law okay if it is a sweet deal? (nm)
