They were still interviewing last week--wouldn't hurt to call or E-Mail
Posted By: omt on 2006-05-31
In Reply to: Are they hiring right now? Thanks, - Wondering MT
As far as I know they are still looking for Acute Care MTs, but I don't know how many they just hired or what kind of hours, FT/PT they still have available. Could be that they are still looking for a couple more. Sure wouldn't hurt to go to their website and call or E-Mail. If they are still hiring, they may be jammed with applications, so if they do not respond right away that is probably a good sign and you should keep trying. They are worth the effort to talk with them.

Wouldn't hurt to send it again. nm
A little compassion wouldn't hurt. You may sm
need some help someday and it would be sad if you were treated the same way, wouldn't it? It's horrible to lose a job and income for any reason.
What goes around, comes around. You'd better duck!
#9 did it for me (Johnny Depp as cabana boy wouldn't hurt.)
Are you really surprised that they wouldn't let you send your e-mail out? If they cared
at all about their MT's they would have come up with a alternate solution. Why on earth do you think they would or should allow you to basically bash them on their e-mail server?
Really not sure. I would call or e-mail them and see.

I think both, but you should call or e-mail them and ask.
Good Luck!
Call or e-mail them. nm
Ran out of work, they wouldn't return email or call...see msg
They wouldn't contact me back or answer my calls. Four days later they finally got back with me to tell me to be patient. I specifically asked when I took the position if running out of work was ever a problem.
Yep, eight months. Yes, I did call them and e-mail them SM
I never heard from them. Then eight months later I got a call from a recruiter who offered me 7.5 cpl which I refuse to work for. The recruiter told me that they offer everyone the same pay, newbie or experienced. Didn't think that was fair so I further refused to work for them.
It seems that all these companies want VERY EXPERIENCED, RELIABLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE MTs with their own equipment/programs/high speed internet, but don't want to pay for the knowledge or expertise.
Their mail system has been down. Y not call them?
xx
Call your supervisor or e-mail me.
This is not something that Transcend does. They do value their employees. MT Stars is probably not the best place to post if you really like the company but are truly looking for answers. The Transcend MLS forum is also an excellent place to look. If you cannot get an answer, please e-mail me, I have been with Transcend for years. Hope this helps.
I wouldn't assume if was your "mistake"... had a similar experience this week
I applied to Medscribe two weeks ago. I got an e-mail and telephone call on Monday, and I finally (after several attempts) was able to get ahold of Gary Jurenovich (recruiter) on Wednesday. On Wednesday, he made me the offer, sent me the contract and all HR paperwork to fax back to him.
Friday morning, I faxed the paperwork (it is to be faxed within 2 business days). Friday afternoon, I got an e-mail asking how I was doing on the paperwork and I told G I had sent it that morning.
He responded Friday evening that he did not receive it, and that I would need to re-fax. I did not get this e-mail until Tuesday morning (out of town for three-day weekend). He called me at 11:00 that morning and told me that, because I had not faxed him the paperwork, it was a bust.
I told him I could have it re-faxed in an hour and he told me he would see what he could do.
Never heard back from him.
So.. all in all, don't think it was your mistake. My thought is, if they have that little regard for having me as an employee, I might be better off elsewehere.
If you can transcribe 175 lph, that is 14 bucks an hour. I wouldn't call that chump change. sm
Working for minimum, or barely above minimum flipping burgers or cashiering at WalMart is chump change in my opinion.
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!
QT? I call them several times a week and have NEVER sm
experienced a person with any kind of accent answering the phone. Never. Are you getting an answering service after hours that might have hired a person with an accent?
They told me they'd call by the end of the week.
so i'm just waiting, lol
I would call them. We had meetings all week and sm
the recruiter was saying that she is caught up and pleased with the way things are going. Perhaps you missed a call or email or they called the wrong number. I would definitely call as Terri is really on top of things!
We are on 7 days/week right now for rad. You need to call your lead. sm
There is PLENTY of work in radiology. I have typed more rad in the past month than ever before with any other company.
Call now. A week is certainly long enough to wait. nm
s
I got mine almost a week ago and already filed. You might want to call them.

We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
I know which account this is that started this week. I would call tomorrow. sm
The IDs were sent back from the hospital but only one part of them. I have been on the account for 2 days and it is great. HBO Star and lots of volume and good dictators except one or two. Call and ask if the IDs are ready. There are a bunch of new accounts starting at the same time. They pulled me from my primary to help until the other IDs are in, so they are definitely needing you on there. You will love the KS rad department; I have been with them for 4 years and every year it gets better!
I have a ? for you - when I was interviewing with
Axo I was told 7 cents a line for employee - my current account is going over to Axo and I wanted to stay with the doctors I already know and love for over 12+ years (so I do have some experience LOL). Work is pooled (they told my docs I could continue doing their work so big red flag)and I understand they outsource. Just curious - what did they offer you for line count?
They might dock your pay for errors. I'd ask if interviewing. nm

I am interviewing for a trainer position. What would
you ask for per hour? I will be training all new employees on the software that the company uses. Thanks for any input. Yes, by the way, I have been with this company for several years but not sure what to ask for in this position. Thanks!!!
I agree with you. I share your views on interviewing the
applicants. You must be able to talk one on one with them and be able to relate. Much of what you say I also feel. Also, the things that I do discuss with my applicants remain with me. They are confidential and they do not go past me as a recruiter, but I use them to help me in my job and to help my company. I want all the folks I interview to know that their thoughts are safe, no matter what we might discuss regarding their experiences, etc.
From previous posts and in my interviewing history,
I am not sure that is correct. Some companies actually do just pay a certain amount per report for QA and it is very low and others pay just for the blank filled in. Pathetic, ain't it.
Did the MT interviewing with Transcript USA make contact yet? Anything good
s
I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run
.
What would it hurt?
nm
It can't hurt to ask.
xx
You did not get hurt like I did!
They offered me a position and even the CEO of the company called me directly and congratulated me. I then got this nasty e-mail from the recruiter stating for me to reapply in 3 months because they are just overwhelmed with applications, etc. Talk about dishonesty, unprofessional, etc.! I wasted my time testing with this company where they told me I passed with flying colors. I do not like people who not honest and I would not consider this company to anybody!
It can't hurt to try again...
nm
Can't hurt to ask. They can only say no.
I have always received a raise when I've asked. I've received 2 raises in the last 18 months.
I am hurt
I can't believe the STM on this account could not call the people that were let go while she was on vacation upon her return. Whether she knew this was going to happen or not she should have at least acknowledged us. It would have made all the emails that praised our work, saying we were awesome and a great team seem like they were true. I am hurt and sad and did I mention, sad?
At my company I'd ask for $18; probably wouldn't get it, but I wouldn't go lower. nm

i work for 5 -- what they don't know won't hurt em
I didn't sign anything saying I wouldn't ... so what is it to em. As long as I do what I am supposed to for each, no worries.
Yikes. That's going to hurt your ck
doesn't hurt to ask
I like ops too. When my Webmedx account (not a new account) is busy, I get mostly ops. Don't know why - with most accounts I've every worked on (any company) you tend to get H and Ps and consults before ops.
personally, I think they have hurt THEMselves now.
I think the MTs would not want to work for them for sure. Keep us posted. Their
bad name relations will continue right here out in the open.
I know you are hurt and angry but there is
They can adjust their pay scales any way they want as long as minimum wage is met for your state (if you are an employee). It is not illegal.
It PROBABLY will be illegal for you to contact clients as I am sure there is language somewhere in policy, etc., that states you are not to do so.
Be careful with your anger. It could get you in trouble.
Remember: Webmedx is not the first company to do this and the MT industry is not the first field to have this happen, either.
How do I access MQ Internet mail? I'm registered on Q-Net but don't see any e-mail thingie the
nm
All she can say is "Are you NUTS?" LOL. I'd ask. Can't hurt. SM
But did you mean 2000 lines/week or 2000 lines/day?
it is not going to change or hurt Heartland
In fact, it is not going to make even a drop in the pond if no one joins me or even if some do. But whether or not anyone joins me doesn't matter. I am angry and I am not going to sit back and complain about the issue of offshoring and do nothing about it.
I have written several times to my senators and congresspeople about this issue and will continue to do so.
I chose July 7, 2006 because this is the day American Heartlanders are officially out of a job. However, my personal protest goes beyond just our industry, I also protest all Americans losing their jobs to offshoring.
I think if everyone who has ever been hit by this blight or knows someone who has been laid off simply did not buy a thing on 1 day a year it would make a difference to corporate America. Sort of the the same concept that if everyone voted it would make a difference.
doesn't hurt to ask the recruiter
I was doing radiology for over 5 years, and I have over 25 years of multispecialty, acute care, everything else. Several times in my job search 2 months ago, I was told I needed more recent experience in AC. I answered I was pretty sure that body parts had not changed much, nor had basic formats, and with abundance of reference material online for newer meds or equipment, I didnt think I would have much trouble. Usually they would consider me at that point. One company I tested for, I scored 92 and passing was 94, so I asked to recruiter if I could test again - passed and I am now working for them. In my first week, I have been taken off 100% QA - no regrets on either side I am sure.
I'm gonna give it a try..can't hurt!
On the front page of the Long Beach Press Telegram in Long Beach, Calif. today is the start of a series that is going to run every Sunday for the rest of the year. They are going to share the experiences, some challengiing, some encouraging, of our friends and neighbors this is regards to the slowing economy, unemployment, etc. Also today was a letter to the Editor that basically said If you want to fix the economy in the U.S. then quit outsourcing all the jobs overseas. Jobs here = consumer confidence and spending.
I am going to give it a shot and see if I can get a story about the MT field and how what is happening in MT is NOT related to EMR. The EMR President Obama wants is a MR that is accessible via a computer (EMR) (and HIPPA accountability for privacy) but no where have I seen any reference that the reports that are included in that MR are supposed to be coming from a Third World Country with no HIPPA accountability. The focus behind the EMR is having access to your medical records if you have a medical incident away from access to that infamous paper chart in your doctor's office or prior paper hopsital records that can not be rapidly accessed. I am not against the concept of EMR but I am against the concept of trying to get by with lumping it in with other functions end up eliminating jobs in the U.S. They are our medical records and all components of them should remain in our country. If I am able to pull it off and get a Sunday dedicated to MT and EMR, I will post the link to the article here. Anyone who wants to assist in writing an article give me a shout-out.
You're the one who is unhappy and hurt, etc.

I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)

Yes, I've heard that. But it doesn't hurt to let
And it sure as hel* doesn't hurt to let the general public know either!
These constant rah rah replies without details hurt TT's
