We shred all resumes with typos immediately w/o responding. sm

In Reply to: MTSO has some resume tips - MTMidwest
You would be surprised how many resumes that we receive have errors in them, both spelling and grammar. I am not a transcriptionist, so I am not overly picky about grammar, but at least spellcheck your resume. At least half of the resumes that we receive have spelling errors.
The emails count too. If you do not proof your email when I applying for a job, how do we know you will be more careful when transcribing?
At least 10% of the emails I receive have either no capitalization or no punctuation. I disgard those too. Someone who is too lazy to capitalize the first word of a sentence or use punctuation in an email applying for a position probably is too lazy to proof their work when transcribing.
This is not meant to be cruel, but it is the truth. The image you project when applying for a job is very important, even if not face-to-face.

I would be looking for another job immediately...sm
Good luck on the matter.
Sure, we will all email you immediately. Are you really
ewwwwww!!
If it was me, I would have told them no way immediately. nm
You showed great restraint.
I quit immediately.
You got paid for the straight typing, no templates.
They advertise quite a lot and that's probably the reason why!
Need ananswer immediately, please!!
On Friday of last week, I drove almost 100 miles to an interview that was supposed to be a subcontractor position. I was asked to come in for the day and type some reports to get familiar with the account and to see if I wanted to do it. I drove the 100 miles, typed for the company. Keeping in mind that I was a subcontractor and could work and quit when I wanted, I decided to give it a try. As soon as I got home, she called and wanted me to work on Saturday to get the hospital caught it. So, I transcribed on Saturday. Then, I received a call on Sunday requesting that I type. So, I typed on Sunday. I got phone calls all day yesterday, Monday, pleading that I work and the hospital is seeing that I am logged on, but no work is coming in. The work was not coming in because I received Japanese/Chinese discent dictators and it literally took me an hour a report. I received calls all day long. To work, change things, work more, and I was told now that I was their go-to girl and needed me to work, work, work. I could not log off because I would get calls. So, today, which is Tuesday, their system broke down and when they finally fixed it, guess what, they needed me to work an additional 8 hours. This was after I got up early to work, but due to their system break down, I was hours behind. After listening to 3 messages on my answering machine, I sent an email telling her I have accepted another position. Four hours after I sent her the email, she called me up and asked why I was not working for her and that she is going to lose her account. I asked her if she got my email. SHE SAID SHE GOT MY EMAIL, BUT DID NOT REALIZE I WAS NOT WORKING FOR HER ANYMORE. How ridiculous is this? She said she needed me to log on now because I was her go-to girl and she was going to lose her account. I am exhaused, but she needs me until Friday or she will lose her account. I am a subcontractor. Also, I signed no papers and she could shaft me for my money if I stay. WHAT SHOULD I DO? SHOULD I LOG IN AND WORK UNTIL FRIDAY AND HOPE SHE PAYS ME OR JUST MOVE ON? She sounded desperate, but she has worked me out all ready.
I quit immediately, too.
It won't be a blip on the radar of D's sell-out, unfortunately, but at least I know I did the right thing for myself and my belief system/ethics.
Congratulations to us, and anyone else who is in a position to do the same!
Thanks for responding, but I have more ?s
What is the difference in bennies between 16 and 24 hours?
Also, does it say what the different levels (1,2, or 3) will be making per line?
Thanks for responding
I thought the ad sounded too good to be true. I couldn't find a website at all either, plus an aol e-mail. Glad I didn't apply and waste my time.
Thanks for responding.
I know what I am paid home-based, which I think is a fair amount, but my sister works at the local hospital and they asked her what she thought was fair and she asked me. I told her I would see if I could get a round about figure. I think this is in-house, they just don't have the position currently and are going to add it.
Thanks All for Responding!
It really does sound like a wonderful company to work for! 
Thank you, for responding. Yes, I will ask...
such a shame because they seemed like such a good company, everything was there, you know? Makes me wonder why I ever left the hospital I worked at to begin with...but I did 7 years ago, and now I am regretting it.
The recruiter is awful nice and did now apologize for not checking that first...not intentional, so cannot stay mad about that...
Hold on to your hospital job, haha, you are lucky!
Thank you both for responding! - nm

Thanks everyone for responding
Who would I send my resume to and what is their website addy/ Thanks again.
TY so much for responding...
The work I am getting is extremely difficult. It has to be the worst I think I have ever done in my life, and I am literally losing about $200 a pay period because the health benefits just went up about $100 a month for me at the same time. It is as if I have sunk down to the very bottom of the list, getting only difficult work over and over, or else no work. I keep being told they will understand if I want to quit...?
Thank you for responding, but I
wonder why their web site indicates that they are hiring. They apparently e-mailed the poster below, who posted yesterday, about a position with them. I understand that a lot of MTs do not like to see the company they work for advertising/hiring when they do not have work available, but it happens all the time. I really just wondered how much the down time pay is at this company. 
We are responding now : )
The web site does not officially open for a couple of weeks, and we are answering emails after screening - only MTs are welcome - no MTSO's, MTSO managers, and information is being provided as screening progresses.
We have filtered 22 emails from MTSO's disguised as MTs, so you can understand the concern. The memberships will include access to a private MTs Only web site, where only MTs will be posting - no company 'ringers'.
Before responding could I please know
you have been following this (subcontractor/TTD) thread over the weekend or is this your first response?
Thanks for responding ...
I, too, have lots of experience and I can't believe what some of these places want to pay. Of course, you go through all the testing and then find out. I'll keep looking. I definitely won't waste my time waiting for this one. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for responding. nm
I'd see a red flag immediately if a company sm
waited a year to test me. From everything you said, it sounds like this company is desperately trying to fill a quota of US MTs to land/keep this account. Anyone born in the USA would do. If you were sincere in not wanting to work for companies that offshore, you should say so clearly right at the start and not go through all the traveling, testing, and ironing! I'm sorry this turned out to be such a negative for you. Best to do research beforehand.
I heard back immediately
I got a one sentence email saying I didn't have enough experience. Must be pretty difficult work. I have been typing all work types for 19 years, especially psych and radiology..the two on the list. I have also done ESL in every job I have ever been employed. Oh well, asked her to keep my name in the barrell!
start immediately to think about ESLs........
nm
I too made quota immediately
!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was immediately offered a position with
Webmedx after the interview. I didn't have to test based on my experience and score on the verbal testing.
If you applied through TransHealth they still seem to be operating as two separate companies and dealing with a different group of people. I applied to them before the merge and I never heard from them after submitting my resume.
Stop typing immediately....and see what happens.
They'll be blowing your phone up. Tell them, when they put your check in the bank, you'll start back typing, because you don't type for free. They gave you a date you will get paid and they should honor that. In the meantime, be looking for something else.
You are right. I am going to implement this title immediately. Thank you very much! nm

I would immediately eliminate Focus.
It is Indian run, low pay, and constant turnover. I haven't heard much good about Diskriter either, though certainly better than Focus. KS is good for some, not for others. It wasn't a good fit for me. Axolotol pays better than any of them, better benefits. The account they are hiring for has a high percentage of very challenging ESL dictators. The company itself is great though.
Thanks for responding. I may call them and ask. I know they .. SM
would remember my name as it hasn't been that long at all. I really, really liked their benefits, and I didn't give it long enough to see what kind of money I could make once I learned the account and system well. Like I said to the other poster, I got cold feet and went back to my old job. Since the have an ad posted, I just might call them back.
Thanks again for your friendly response. :)
Thank you, Olive Oyl, for responding
I've been offered a position and was wondering. Thanks so much!
Thanks for responding! Mind if I ask
Just curious :).
Also, quirky how? (Again, if you don't mind.)

Thank you for responding! Do we buy it or download it?

I was responding to other comments
Re: this was not a 'venting' thread...
I was responding to the original poster *and* others who posted. Is that OK with you?
I saw that ad, was thinking of responding, sm
dont usually have a time limit though, weird.
Are you responding to your own posts?
Nannygoat, is that you in disguise? Same grammatical style and turn of a phrase.
Obviously a TTD employee who is responding!
This is so obviously the owner of TTD!
don't know what post you are responding to,

So sorry - wasn't responding to you at all
Sorry - it does look like I was replying to you, but I wasn't. :-)
All of you should stop working immediately so that they can see how valuable
you are. Let them work it out then.
docking $10 per report for mistakes. I immediately sent in

This discussion will cease immediately. You are WAY off base. We do not
cater to any company in the manner you describe just because a company may be a sponsor. The reason that we remove content about ANY company is when posters use this site as a sounding board of their complaints posting to the point where the thread flames. At that point, I will remove the thread and tell posters to take discussion to email until things settle down.
If you have problems with a company, you need to take it up with them. Sounding off on this forum about the inner workings of any company is innapropriate. Posters need to use tact when posting.
Many of you know me well enough by now that I would not remove posts just because some MTSO tells me to.
