Resume response

I am having a horrible time getting lines in my current job, and I have sent out my resume to AT LEAST 10 companies with no response.  I have 11 years' experience!


Is anyone else having difficulty finding a position?  Im about to pull out my hair!!!!


Resume response.

I sent a resume to Keystrokes and 2 days later I received a questionaire.  I promptly completed it and returned. 


 I received no further correspondence. I would have preferred no response  at all.  The return of the questionaire was never acknowledged  with even a generic rejection or keep your name on file etc.


I understand  companies  cannot employ every person who sends a resume.   I had read so many positive things about Keystrokes such as I love it,  they are great etc I was disappointed they did not at least respond.


I thinks it demonstrates a total lack of courtesy.


Agree or disagree?


 


 


resume response

Thanks for your suggestions!


 I am not sure I made the point clearly though.


A lack of respone to a resume would not upset me because it was unsolicited. It was the lack of respone to a questionaire THEY sent me.


I also followed up numerous times over several weeks with appopriate thanks etc.

Hi KS lead! I did not mean to hurt your company's reputation. I was merely tyring to help someone by letting them know of my experience. I have read mostly positive things about Keystrokes and I am sure it is a good company.


The only way I have of knowing my response would be received would be if my email bounced back but it did not.  Followup attempts  also were neither returned to my mailbox or acknowledged by Keystrokes.


Now I am going to drop it and I hope you will too. I PROMISE never to state my opinion again.

I've sent my resume and gotten no response at all. nm

I sent them my resume 3 years ago and am still waiting for a response!

Abbicorp--Did anyone ever hear from them. I sent a resume and NO response.

What's up with that.. LOL


Do you think you get a better response to post your resume on here or answer ads on here. Which one
seems to give the best result. 
Anyone else have problem getting response to resume submission?

There was an ad placed on August 29.  I submitted my resume to them on September 1.  I had some questions and received a response on September 4.  I have sent 2 emails (one on Thursday and one on Friday) since then stating that I would like to talk with her about testing for their company.  I have yet to receive a response.  I have offers from a few others companies, but I really want to speak to this one first.  I have 15 years experience in a multitude of specialities.  I can't imagine that they wouldn't be interested in at least having me test for them.  Am I being too impatient or should I take a hint that they aren't interested?


I've considered emailing again, but it makes me feel like a stalker or something.  I also looked up their website and thought about calling.  However, their ad didn't list the phone number, so I'm assuming they wish not to have calls.  Today is my day off and would be the perfect time to test.


Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 


Thank you!


hi karen, i sent out a resume and got a response, but not working for them yet. ad on job board. nm

Has anyone who sent a resume to TypeToo in response to their ad for a psych MT heard back from them

Sent resume-no response in 2 weeks, nothing, nada, ziltch-20 year veteran of MQ??????
Does seem professional to me to not even answer-would love to talk to someone because I too have heard it is a great place to work!!
How long does it take TransHealth to get back to someone when you send a resume? I sent a resume

Has anyone gotten a job from any company not posting regularly from their resume in the resume
s
I just left MDI-MD, so there is an opening! nm

Anyone tried the ESL opening at Transhealth? sm
Curious as to how difficult it is.
Apply anyway. That way if they do have an opening come up
for days, they will have you in their database and the test will have already been taken. It couldn't hurt to try. I have a friend who just was hired to do ops there. Their rate is very good. Their application asks the times you are available and because you don't find MTs that like ops that often, I am sure they will be able to fit you in at some point. I would go for it. I hear they are a really nice company to work for.
Webmedx just had an opening for QA. sm
I justed interviewed with them about a week and a half ago for QA position, but turned it down because of the pay. Maybe they haven't filled it yet and since you can no longer transcribe, this might be an option for you.
OSi coordinator job opening again? Another
   
Same here. No issues opening them.

Again, VR is opening up that can of worms.
I answered on the other board, but mine was not moved so am reposting. As far as VR, I love it, others dislike it, even saying the hate word. I can make $20 and up per hour on the platform I use. From what I read here, some are not so lucky to have a very good system and it slows them down to where their pay has been cut to a large degree. I love escription, have used it now for about 4 years and really hate to straight type anymore. I find the ESLs, at least where I work, are so much easier with VR than having to sort through what they are trying to say. I will say how a system is trained and who works on it has all to do with what kind of reports you have. You could have almost perfect reports with a good system that has learned well and then you could get a clunker with loads on teaching the machine various ways and that is where the problem lies with VR.
Opening up that can of worms, once more
I stayed with a job that went to VR but not for 3 cpl. That is really low and I hate it is coming down to this at so many places. My straight pay is 8 cpl. Escription is a really good system. You will find all kinds of answers on here back and forth. This will never be settled, seems like. Some love, others despise. Some have good systems, others not so good. From just what I gathered reading MQ site, I don't think their platform was that good as many talked about how it always had same errors and never seemed to be different. I have been accused of being software promoter but like you and others I do MTing but just happen to like my job and VR.
Toyota is opening right outside of Detroit get over it.

Anyone having trouble opening posts?
sm
Let me get this straight. You were angry because they did not have an opening on the account that y
were they supposed to do, remove a current employee to make room for you? They can only hire for accounts that have openings. I don't think they were unwilling to work with you, as you think, but maybe that's all they had open at the time.
That's exactly what I told my BF last night, opening the boxes...
I'm in CA and it took 4 days FedEx ground from TX. Maybe yours will come even sooner. I'm waiting for the tech to call me as I write this so my email, etc., can be set up and then my training date/time scheduled.

Congrats to BOTH of us :-)
Some slice Indian businessman will be opening up his own MTSO
of the U.S. CEO. Then the real money is going to be saved. Don't MTSOs see this?
MODERATOR why is this company allowed to post a job opening here
when it's an offshore company???  They are looking for in-house MTs, and they are located in Pakistan...
Cooper has an opening in radiology. St. Christopher's hires in-house, but
I think they are in Philly.

Their last job opening on the other board isn't dated. They were using Vianeta &Arrendale? soft
s
I tested and passed Med-Tech, interviewed and was told they had opening- but I guess

I made the mistake of typing the name IC as "individual" contractor, and the recruiter e-mailed me back with the corrected "independent" contractor, and later sent an e-mail and said they were not hiring and that if anything should become available, they would contact me.  I have since found that they have hired since that time, but no one ever contacted me again.  I figure it was "their loss", not bragging or boasting, but I know I would have been an asset to the company.  IMO


They seem to be a pretty together company though.  I occasionally go to their website and read their quarterly "whatever you call it," and they always have interesting information in their for transcriptionists, and about the company, and the QA standards and goals.   I would love to have worked there.   I hear they have good benefits too.


 


I looked facility up on line - checked careers and found they had a current opening for MT there. (
That pretty much told me they did have inhouse. It was an MT position for acute care, not just one of the ancillary departments.


No but I sent them a resume - sm
They never responded to it.  I have a ton of experience, too.  Doesn't bode well for them to me.
sent resume
I sent a resume to MDtalknet and am waiting for a response, I even live in the same town, not that that really makes a difference.
Sent my resume in...sm

2 weeks ago and have not received an e-mail regarding testing.  I have 25+ years of experience, mainly acute care, 6 in radiology.  Wonder if they wanted more radiology experience. 


Are you sure they got your resume? I know that they are
hiring for ortho right now. I have been there 3 years and the account I am on is expanding and I know of at least two new accounts.

If you did not hear, I would either call or re-email.
Resume
Ok, thanks, I see it now.  Thank you!
Yes, I sent a resume - sm
I think I asked for more money than they pay because they thanked me for the resume and said maybe sometime in the future they would keep me in mind.  In other words, never.
Resume
Go Gal!  You reflect the sentiments of those of us who would not dare, but love to include your comments on our resume's.  Don't we all just love doing the header research for free!  Sigh, Is there light at the end of the tunnel?  God Love Ya!
I sent a resume
I sent a resume thru MTStars about 1-1/2 weeks ago, have 25 years experience doing all reports and have not heard a word from them.
Put your resume up
Put your resume up and say you are looking for minimal part time work. Good luck!

I just leave it as is pasted in. susan
Thanks, I sent the resume but have not sm
heard anything yet. Keeping my fingers crossed!
I'd get my resume in
to the small hospital quickly before somebody else does. I wouldn't say anything to your current hospital and if you have to give them a decision, say you will take the radiology job. Could be weeks or months before that other hospital has an opening.

If the outsourcing goes badly, radiology won't change over for a long time (hope, hope).

Radiology is all about anatomy and contrast. The bet book IMO is HPI's Radiology Imaging Words and Phrases, but you'll also use a lot of your Stedman's books like ortho, neuro, GI, Ob-Gyn, cardio, and even lab books.
I sent in a resume,

Ok, I sent in my resume
And already heard back from a recruiter! I am excited now! So, they only hire for ICs I'm taking it. That means I am responsible for paying my own taxes, correct?
resume
Just a couple of questions about your resume. Do you put on it how much you are getting paid at your current job or at your past jobs? Do you put the current volume of work you are doing at your primary job? I have had some experience with hiring for a small company in the past and if I see someone put what rates they were getting paid at other companies I generally would discard the resume because it feels like a challenge to match or exceed those rates. If I saw that someone was a high producer but looking for a second job I would doubt that they would have much time for the second job and discard the resume.

Other flags to me were changing jobs often, big gaps in employment, or lack of specific experience for the specific position.

If none of those apply to you, I'd just agree with the other posters that business is just generally slow right now and it's not personal.
Same here. I sent them resume. They were

Thanks..I just sent them my resume...sm
Do you happen to know why they have a banner on the career page that says Military Spouses Welcome? I was just wondering.
I sent them my resume
I sent them my resume and have yet to hear back. Advanced sounds like a great company to work for. It's just I've applied several times in the past and I never do hear anything.
