That is a shame - maybe he/she will e-mail you again with the resume or phone number. nm

Have phone number for MDI-MD,
301-236-6770, have not been able to find web site. You can Google U.S. Medical Transcriptionists Directory. It lists transcription companies by state. You'll find MDI-MD there, but gives no web site. Hope this helps.
Do they have a new phone number?
The one in California is no longer valid, the one in Virginia just has a generic we are not available answering machine. What's up? Do you know what's going on?
Thanks for providing the phone number
I saw where you provided a phone number for OSi below. I just called them and ask them to check out your posts. I hope you've enjoyed working there. I also hope your mama knows someone at another MT company.
Transcend phone number
Sorry, I spelled it wrong and of course I meant TRANSCEND. It is Monday morning, after all.
Now you could use the phone number of an acting coach
so immature
Dept. of Labor phone number
For Labor Dept, your point of contact depends on where you live I believe. The number to start with is 866-444-3272. Good luck, and please post if you learn anything new. This has been going on for me for nearly a year and not resolved.
What?! Do you have your number listed in the phone book?
This is the same info they can get out of the phone book, i.e., name, address, and phone number. This is not what they use to commit identify theft. They would use the general information from your resume to phish for more detailed information, such as SS# or bank account/cc account info. This is also what they would get out of your trash if for some reason you don't shred this info before you throw it out. Also, with past employers, they are only allowed to give basic info, such as length of employment and whether you're eligible for rehire. They can be held legally responsible if they give out detailed information about you!
I am very realistic that I'm not immune to identify theft, but also I know the law and know that I shouldn't be paranoid about someone stealing my identity. I take the appropriate steps to protect myself and monitor my credit report frequently.
It says Navesys.com on the reply name by their phone number
I found them on the web, but not their company site. I found a write up they are combined 20 or more years of experience and they have MTs in the US and India. I am still a little afraid to apply, though, since I have never heard of them even on this board. Any input if anyone knows would be appreciated.
Provide it to the moderators along with TB's phone number to call. :)

If they weren't Synthescribe, they wouldnt have the same phone number.
regardless of what they SAY.
I do not have access to her phone number. I can just assume she has already hired all the help
she needed, but thanks...
That is the legitimate toll-free phone number
for Transcend. The non-toll-free number is ******. Laurie
I agree, especially when they had to produce a phony number and gave someone's home phone with th
answering machine on. I also feel it's a fishing expedition. I guess we'll all soon find out...
I emailed them my resume and had a phone
No testing required.
The Q "interview" is just a resume over the phone.
All they do is ask you where you went to school, if you are CMT, what hours you prefer, your work history, etc. It's the same junk you fill out on their application, the same junk you include on your resume, so goodness only knows why they need all that stuff a THIRD time.
Once you go through that inteview, you will get an e-mail saying that you passed that portion of the process and to wait for someone to contact you.
It's not an acutal interview in the traditional sense. Don't sweat it.
Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
Also, don't mass mail your resume.
If I receive a resume and I can see that it has gone to a dozen other companies, too, I'm not feeling the love.
Sorry, see now I'm having trouble. I have just sent you my resume and e-mail address. nm

Rather than all those phone calls, why doesn't MQ just do things legally and mail out
defining company policies and procedures, benefits, etc. It seems they just don't want to be legal and upfront with their MT's.
What company does not have an employee handbook outlining their policies and procedures, etc. As of late, MQ does not put much of anything in writing -- even the supes will not respond to our questions by imail, but always calls us back via phone. These phone calls really need to be recorded when this happens. Telephone conversations seem to be all the proof of ANYTHING that we MQ MT's have anymore. Have you ever heard of a company that will not respond to emails. MQ has gotten really bad about this in the last year or so. I would much prefer a company to put things in writing.
I didn't even receive the courtesy of an e-mail, phone call, etc. sm
I thought the test was very easy. I've got 18-years of experience, sent a cover letter (that I spent an hour on) in addition to my resume and got not response whatsoever. The least an MTSO could do is say, Thanks, but no thanks. Daily applications, cover letters, and testing without so much as an email is beyond frustrating!
Well, I never heard back from them, even after I sent tons of e-mail and personal phone calls
 And, I am sure I nearly aced the test. Very simple.
They changed buildings so maybe the phone number also changed...
They are still going strong...
Shame, SHAME on you people
for putting the MDI/Transcend people down!!! When the offshoring, mergers, sales, etc. knocks on YOUR door, as it surely will in time, will you still be so self-centered? I am glad the moderator is allowing them time to discuss their plight and I am reading every post and thinking what I can do to help. I am only one little person but I'm speaking loudly about the MT industry to anyone and everyone who might be able to help. I spoke this morning with a person who knows an MT who works for one of the local hospitals that has their MTs working from home. This person told me they are ultraflexible and the MT she knows takes time off to go for a massage. I left my number with our mutual friend and asked her to have her call me, I would like to find out how they have made this work. Sure sounds like going for a massage beats sitting around waiting for work from some MTSO and imagine the flexibility allowing her to do that! I also spoke with an MT who has worked for one of the BIG MTSOs for over a dozen years. She is not willing to trust another MTSO so she went part-time with the BIG one and took a full-time job waitressing where she says she makes much more money. She is so far behind she is in fear of having to file for bankruptcy! Now THAT is pathetic. If she can't make a living in MT anymore it is doubtful anyone can under the current working conditions. I know nothing about MDI or Transcend but those aren't the only MTs who are suffering for lack of work and it seems more are in the boat every day.
Please have patience with these, your brothers and sisters. You may think this can never happen to you but I assure you it CAN and more than likely WILL sooner or later.
So if you have a question you'd like to ask, fire away, I'll answer if I know the answer.
Shame, Shame, Spheris
I just noticed on Spheris's new CS platform on one of my backup accounts (one that happens to also be offshored to India), that not only is a patient's SSN available, birth date, but also the home address and personal phone number. I've never understood why a SSN has always been available, since it is never used to identify a patient, but now all the other personal info is available on this particular account; however, is not available on my primary account (which interestingly is not offshored). I am absolutely appalled that Spheris has made available all this private information, and none of it is required to identify a patient in order to transcribe a report, as the patient is only identified by name and/or account numbers. It scares me that a patient's complete identity is available to any disreputable person with access and willing to profit from this info.
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
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line

How do I access MQ Internet mail? I'm registered on Q-Net but don't see any e-mail thingie the
nm
C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)
you could manually type it in and resend me the info. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
Yes - regular mail and my reg mail stinks, so let them know.
nm
that is such a shame.
I have lots of work. What kind of account were you on? The platform I am on is great and the sound quality is the best I have ever worked on. When it did start to get slow for me, they gave me another account and then told me I could have another on top of those 2 if I needed it.
Funny how things can be so different for people.
The shame is that many of your
colleagues who are scheduled to work do not hold up their end often forcing the company to add others to keep the work covered. It is a shame with fault on both ends of the stick we keep poking each other with.
And it would be a shame if somebody.....
ACTUALLY put their real name on here and had enough maturity to say who they are --- Gee! If you mean what you say, you shouldn't be afraid to say who you are especially if you are legitimate. And if you are legitimate, anybody that has any common sense would know this is not how you take care of a problem - in a grown up world at least.
None taken.....it's a shame, isn't it? nm
:(
What a shame
I worked for them when they were HealthScribe and I hated them. I left as soon as my 6-month sentence was up and I never looked back. I was hoping that with the Spheris merger things might have gotten a bit better, but it's apparent they haven't. Reading this brought back so many memories (all unpleasant). It's really a shame - they give the transcription field a bad name. 
It's a shame, they used to be
very well respected. I worked there for a little more than a year and saw things happen that I did not agree with (training in Trinidad, etc..).
I never really had a problem with management. My first manager was promoted (she was great). The lady who replaced her...I think she bit off more than she could chew and realized that the position was too much for her. Then my team finally got a new manager and she was nice as well.
To me, the pay scale was not hard to figure out. It was based on lines per hour, QA score and how much work you sent through to QA. It was, unfortunately, on the low side. The account I was on was very good, so I didn't have a problem meeting my line count. I have heard that the recruiter they have now (who is not the recruiter that hired me) couldn't explain how the pay scale worked.
All in all I felt they were a decent company. The Trinidad thing made quite a few people nervous and unsettled. I was one that was uncomfortable with it. I thought the grass would be greener on the other side, but it wasn't. Honestly, I would go back if offered. I miss the flexible scheduling and the account I was on.
its a shame
that its happening and also the poor MT that have lost respect also.
Shame on him then!!
Shame on him then!!!
shame on you all
And you are NOT a class act. You are dishonest. That unemployment money comes out of my pocket (government = taxes). It's not money from Keystrokes. You were working; therefore, you don't deserve unemployment. (Duh!) I don't care if you got the account from hell. Too bad. Life's not fair. Move on and work for your money.
What a shame.
What a shame that any company would jeopardize the livelihoods of its employees for such obvious disrespect of the law and for a person who certainly has a right to live their life without the intrusion of their employer. Who of us can give 100% to their job if we have family and other responsibilities? It shows the extreme short-sightedness and disregard of common law that this man has. I hope that people remember this when they see his ads for employment and that hard working MTs steer clear of a company such as this. Ego that is so inflated as to think you are above the statutes that govern how you do business is just too much .. I hope this woman takes him to the cleaners! Her intention was to return to work. He has no right to determine whether or not she can give 100%, most particularly for such an owner, good luck with that!
What a shame
Such a shame that companies ruin their own reputations by permitting unprofessional ''Ms Nasties to run rampant. They miss out on some good/sharp MTs who simply refuse to work with unprofessional rude people with obvious issues. To put up with silly whimsical nit-picking QAs is bad enough, but rude supervisors who abuse their little modicum of authority is enough to make many an expert MT say thanks but no thanks and move on.
And shame on you
for making assumptions which have no basis in fact. No one squashed the crap (is gutter language necessary in your posts?) out of anyone. I was merely stating something that anyone should have known. And no, I do not work for MDI. Stating you had no work is not legally actionable, but casting aspersions on another's character is. And yes, I quote the Golden Rule and live by it.
That's a shame
sorry for your boyfriend's loss. :(
Shame on you WMX. Shame on you!
All of your talk about being bold and being better than the rest, I actually feel nauseated. You are no better than the rest. I am so disgusted with this industry and what you are doing to us.
that's a real shame
sorry to hear they sold out in such a huge way... they didnt used to think this way.
That's a shame but hang in there
I'm do a different platform/client, but I also hired in this summer, and went through a rough time at first. I talked to my supe, and after changing my schedule a bit and taking on two secondaries, things have become much better, and there's actually been OT on my accounts for the last few weeks.
Check the backlogs on the community page. Some accounts regularly have OT approved (its in the little box at the top left, who's approved for OT and for how long). Maybe you can get trained on some of those. Are you willing to change your schedule at all? My accounts consistently have certain heavier days than others, and before I was off during the heavy days. My supe asked me to shift my schedule and it has made a very positive difference.
And what a darn shame too, because if there
wasn't the MT no one else would have a job.
That's a shame about the increase
excited to be getting to work for that company. Keystrokes has a high plan too and are looking into it, but I've read that on here for over a year now. I guess I have nothing nice to say, so I'd better be quiet. Sometimes saying too many good things can jinx us! 
Shame on you, Karl
First of all, no need to yell.
You call MTs pompous? I think not. I trump your experience with 40+ years. Just as all other businesses, there are good MTs who do their job and do it well; there are those who care for nothing past their own paycheck.
I have not, and will not, knowingly work for a company who offshores so I have no first hand knowledge of the quality of MTs in other countries. Certainly they have the right to improve their living standards but at the expense of our AMERICAN brothers and sisters? I think not. Look at the ads on the Job Seekers Board. Hundreds and thousands of views on each and every one of those ads. This tells me that there are plenty of MTs, many perhaps newbees, in this country looking for and needing work. You say you are QA swat team. This tells me that the offshores need lots of QA-ing. So why not swat for people in our own country first? I will tell you why.....GREED....not only from the transcription companies, but from the suits in the medical profession who are only interested in the bottom line profit statement. And there are people like you who try to justify this
Again, I say shame on you for taking part in cutting opportunites for AMERICAN jobs and for being a part of the reason wages are falling. Maybe this has not affected you personally at this point but trust me, it will sooner or later.
