Takes a lot of time to hear back
Posted By: lk on 2008-11-14
In Reply to: Am I expecting too much or am I - spoiled? No response to resumes.
I was job hunting in July and had the same experience, no responses. It took weeks to start hearing back, then the responses started coming in. I even got some responses 2 or 3 months after applying. It just seems to take a long time right now. You have to be very patient.

Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?

Any idea how long it takes to hear from All Type? sm
I've submitted my resume for their QA position, and I haven't heard anything back yet. I was wondering if this could be due to the convention in Boston, or is this just the new trend in the application process? I've also submitted my resume to other companies, and there have been quite a few who haven't given even a short reply.
I know it's not because of a lack of experience, because I've been doing MT for over 15 years and QA for over 5. Any ideas of a great place to send my resume?
Hopefully, you will hear back. Unfortunately, I immediately heard back from MD-IT
but somehow with over 16 years of experience, I blew the test. I was soooo disappoionted and yet pretty stunned. I am by no means perfect but I haven't flunked a test in years. I expected it in my early years but not this far down the road. I was so confident and they will not tell you which part you did not pass and why so it really just blew my mind. I must have been in shock for like two hours after I got the email. Oh well, someone will want me....hopefully. I was thinking about OSi but I don't think I could take another rejection if I never heard back.
I typed on a line that long way back when. Would NEVER do it again. Takes forever

If you click on it, it takes you right back to their dated website, too. Maybe the banner is old?? n

Tested with TT last week. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to response back.
I need a job...yesterday... I've been applying like crazy but cannot find anything worth taking. I'm getting pretty desperate but still not enough to take 3 cpl for VR but check back next week LOL
Hate the day after a holiday for work -- seems like it takes forever to get my account back up to
speed and getting work available. Oh, well, I'm just venting this morning because I don't have any work and guess I should be cleaning house instead of sitting on here being frustrated about it. Have a good one!
It takes time but can be done
First find where your templates are kept by clicking on Tools, Options, File Location where it will show you where your templates are stored.
Open your template. Click on Format, Style and then Modify then Format then font. After you modify the font size to what you want, click OK. Now you are back to Modify Style and check apply to template.
And I'm sure that's clear as mud! Good luck!
too much going in and out.....takes up too much time.

It takes no more time at all
to behave in a respectful manner towards anyone - no more.
I think the problem is communication through e-mail - cowards hide behind it and spew out orders in a way that they never could face-to-face. Ahh, power!
The cowards are given no rules for sending out e-mails to the people they - the cowards - consider their employees.

Yes, but who takes the time to write
Gheesh...so ridiculous
Did my time card too, takes a while. (sm)
I have been keeping my logs of job numbers and in and out times/total lines in a spiral notebook and then transferring them to a template for time cards on the computer and attaching to E-mail. There has to be a simplier way. I spent 45 minutes this morning getting this all done and totalled up.
All suggestions welcome.
this editor takes the time because...
that's what I've been told to do and if I don't take the time to add those apostrophes, then the docs want to know WHY.
Not all QAs make changes just for the fun of it or because we've got an overwhelming desire to find something to correct. We do it because we have a boss too and if we don't do things the way the client wants it done, then that client goes to our boss, who in turn comes to us to find out why we're not doing things the client's way.
It takes just as much time & knowledge, and in
many cases can be much more time consuming. The only reason it pays less is so the MTSOs can make a larger profit. It s*cks and is a rip-off for MTs. You have to do basically triple the number of lines to make the same amount of pay as regular, and that's impossible to do. You can't listen to reports at triple speeds, and even if you could, it takes way too long to make all the corrections of that ASR mess.
No way. It takes just as much time in many cases
to do VR as to do straight transcription, so that would be about 1/3 of regular pay for the same amount of work/time. THAT'S RIDICULOUS! We have to stand up to these companies. I wonder how many charge the client the same amount but just cheat the MT?
If an MT takes time to go through the testing process...
MTSOs should take the time to respond, even if it's an auto-response, letting the MT know that either they did not cut the mustard or that the position was filled already. It's the decent thing to do. That's the benefit of computers. It's not the personal touch most would prefer, but it sure beats sitting around waiting for an answer.

Now, if you're referring to QAing, that's a whole different thing. It's MUCH more stressful than MTing & takes more experience, so I've never really understood myself why the pay is lower.
but that still takes time to copy/paste
This company prob charges their client the same rate for the entire report; everyone is feeling the crunch! So, let's hit the MT's pocket; I'd pass on companies like that.
Any company will leave you alone if you do your work, so that's not a plus!

Transform - Any1 hear back from them yet on their most recent ad?
I would LOVE to work for this company!
I did finally hear back and did okay but I think I am done testing until I talk with someone about
what they are looking for. I cant get the foot pedal to work with the voice so it takes a lot of time to go back over and over the dictation.
I hear that Amphion is back on mandatory overtime again, so
they must have plenty of work if you can stand tons of emails. For IC status, Advanced Transcription out of Oregon also seems to have plenty of work.
Anyone apply to recent CardioScribes ad and hear anything back? nm

Don't sweat it. Be glad you didn't hear back.

Are you talking about the one with the 2 radiology jobs? I didn't hear back either...nm

Did any of us who left emails hear back from the MT who was highly recommending her
s
I hear people talk union all the time, but no one ever
does anything about it. Personally I would never join one anyway so I don't care. I am not a single mom, but for one year my DH took off work to go to school and I was the sole support of our family. I paid all the bills, including insurance, though mine was not $700/mo. We didn't have $$ for lots of extras, but all of our normal bills were paid and our house payment was $895/mo.
I only worked about 6 hours/day at that time, though sometimes worked less and sometimes more.
Just because one person can't do 2500 lines/day or be self-supporting, doesn't mean that some of us can't. I make good money and could make more if I wanted to work more, but I don't.
No one is forcing you to be an MT. If you are unhappy with the pay, etc. find something else. Companies, MT or not, have to look out for their bottom line. MT companies are now in competition with Indian companies, or US fronts for Indian companies, who will undercut any line rate to the customer, so in order for MT companies to keep accounts they have to maintain rates. I know of one local company who went out of business because while he had not raised his rates in about 8 years, he just could not compete with other offshore companies.
What should be the turn around time to hear response after testing?
nm
Actually, they offered for me to come back any time.
They hated to lose a good MT.
You should have gotten your $250 back at time of resignation. nm
