Yes, hiring practice was right 'fit' for me

Imagine hiring someone just based on their resume and a phone interview. Aha, the catch? You have to pass a very rigorous 10-day QA process, can transcribe only 5 reports a day during that time. It is challenging, but well worth it at the end of that time. You decide if it's the right job, and they decide if you are the right employee.
Like I said, old school.

Common practice?
Is it common practice now days to type 4 different accounts - 7 different work types in one 8 hour shift? I'm experiencing this as a FT employee for a well known company - Other than this, the company is wonderful ....this has given me great experience, but my pay has decreased.....Do I need to suck it up and keep pounding away or look elsewhere? Any advice appreciated!!!
RE: Common practice?
Suck it up. You really do not have a problem.
Why not practice being French
here to see how you like it? Try being snotty and rude. Sneer and pretend you don't understand what people are saying. Maintain a disdainful countenance, while dissing the USA. Set fire to a couple of cars. Demand 8 weeks paid vacation and then refuse to work anyhow.
Not exactly defending the practice
First, I'm not a big fan of mandatory overtime anyway. I understand sometimes they need it, but after 40, there are some weeks where I don't even have another minute in me to give them.
I've also had the same thing with overtime...being happy because they're requesting it for an account that's semi-easy and I'm good at, and then logging on to find out it's the account from hail. I can't be the only one from that hail-storm to be working, and I can only assume they're not too backed up because they're not the ones looking for OT, so why oh why oh why must I type any of the Chennai Boomhauer in my spare time.
It must have something to do with different turnaround because I don't think my place assigns them. At least in theory, although I've not seen the spread sheets to prove it, it's first in/first out to me. I did ask them about this one other time I signed on for overtime at the slightly better place and got stuck with Hail Community Hospital. I was still eligible for the OT, but I'd have gotten probably double if I'd have been typing the actual account that needed the OT.
Free Practice Test
This will give you some sound files and practice tests - http://www.meditec.com/meditec-skills-test.html
Unfortunately, many practice this unethical behavior. sm
I worked for a company that sold out to MQ. A certain person took all of the names of the MTs with her when she went to another company, went after the accounts this company had, and tried to recruit the MTs for that account for the new company.
I asked how they go my name and number as I had never applied to this new company before - and I was told so and so worked at such company and we have this account now and you used to work on for such and such company....etc. I was shocked to say the least!
So, yes it does happen, and NO I never took the job and asked them to please not contact me again that I was not interested.
Nothing is sacred anymore - not even our privacy let alone the hospitals and patients!
its for Family Practice account
/
is there any type of practice test
you can take to help prepare for it or at least give you an idea of what's covered?
family practice companies
Does anyone out there know of any companies with good family practice accounts?
Does that include the overhiring practice of Transcend's
so none of us can make a decent living, or the miserable platform transcend brought with it?
Oh, I understand. I wasn't condoning the practice
of not paying for no work situations at all. Just commenting that MQ was not the only one to fail to do so.
Although I have never been out of work with either MQ or Spheris, should that situation have occurred I would have been all the more reliant on the other position's income.
I once had a group practice client, which included ...sm
6 physicians. The most irritating one was the doc from India who had been in the U.S. for at least 15 years (I know this because I went to school with his children), and refused to even work on losing at least a small part of his accent. He was so ridiculous, and each time I typed his work, I said to myself I swear this guy purposely works at keeping his thick accent just to irritate me! Interestingly, 2 of his partners in the practice were ESL (had only been in the U.S. for 1-2 years), and their accent was much less severe. These were younger docs, who in my opinion, made an effort to get with the program if they want to practice medicine here! I do believe that people can actually make themselves hold onto their accents. I have a friend who is from the south (She has lived near me in the SE part of the country for 20 years) and she continues to have a strong southern accent. She has not lived in the south since she was a small child. I tease her about it.
That is totally unacceptable business practice.
How different are internal medicine notes from family practice? nm
I had no MT training, either. Started at an Ortho practice, then to a nat'l. MT school is NOT a n

And yet YOU fuel the fires. Good grief, practice....

Is it common practice for companies to disable the cont.I function?
Does that necessarily mean anything?

Curious. Scrolling down yesterday and noted comment about unfair labor practice
suit possibly brought by an MT against a certain company. I know this company only hires ICs - not employees. Is this possible? TIA.
Agreed. I also got a nice Christmas bonus working for a tiny private practice. sm
In a smaller office you're seen as an actual person.
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
Hiring
Don't know anything about escribe, but my company, Cy med, hiring.
Hiring
Anyone know of TM Transcription in Oregon?
Hiring
Since I have been hiring for Keystrokes, I have ALWAYS followed thru with providing the proper paperwork to the office, and the AA gets the paperwork out the same day within hours of when I submit the new hire information, and then when the signed paperwork is not received usually we give someone about 72 hours, which on many occasions, people do not fax the paperwork back to the office, the AA in turns either sends out a FU e-mail asking where the paperwork is and/or I will call and send out an e-mail if there is an issue. I HAVE NEVER let anyone SLIP thru the Cracks with Keystrokes after I have offered them a position. Please get your facts straight before you post on here and use my name!
I have a note on the resume the date of hire, and the date the e-mail was sent to the office, and also have a new hire folder, where I put the e-mail that the office sends to me that the paperwork has been returned and faxed back, to the office. Keystrokes does FU on hiring of all new hires, so who ever is posting that needs to contact me and allow me to find out what the problem is so I can find a solution.
Are they hiring? (nm)

Are they hiring?
They said they passed me up because someone else wanted a full-time position, and I only wanted a part-time position. Then I had to contact them, which took 3 weeks to get a response. If I did well on the test and they need help, then why not hire me? What a waste of my time.
They are ALWAYS hiring because
All of the smart MTs leave and only the extreme desperate stay. They do SUK.
as far as I know they are still hiring
I don't know about if it is specifically for ortho or not though.
They are always hiring...
and just as hard to get ahold of when you are working there. lol. Try e-mailing the recruiter. Thats your best bet.
I just saw an ad where they are hiring for
someone to go overseas to train/teach classes. Wondering what's up with that. If it's true, kind of bold of them to advertise on an MT job site to promote taking American jobs away. Guess it all comes down to the almighty buck and how these companies continue to screw US MTs over.
are they still hiring for Onc MT?
Hi SM!
I have more than 2 yrs experience transcribing onc reports. I would like to ask if they are still hiring as far doing oncology transcription? What is their website? Can I have their email address? THank you
Hiring
I'm wondering too...my QA is consistently over 99%, I rarely leave blanks and have 12+ years experience.
Are they hiring?
I am looking for a good IC job. Do you know if Sten-Tel is hiring for IC? Thank you so much!!
i think they are not hiring
thank you, but I went to GIMT website and it seems they are not hiring right now. There wasn't any info where to mail the resume.
Are they currently hiring?
What is their website? Thanks!
I think they are always hiring

Who's Hiring for ONC?
Does anyone have any experience with any of the companies hiring for ONC now? Positive experience with the companies and the accounts, or negative? Which companies would you recommend for ONC? TIA.
Yep, they are still hiring
I cannot understand why they do not understand this. I hope you have another job. One problem they have...on one account, they had overseas MTs doing the typing, they allowed these people to go off of QA...next couple of weeks, the account was gone. Nobody said it was gone, but there was never any work on the account and still isn't any. Zip activity.
Who, in their right mind, would allow overseas MTs to submit work directly to a facility?
hiring
I just e-mailed you. Thank you for information.
Do you know if they are hiring ICs? TIA.

Applied a week ago, waiting to hear from them. Thanks. Not sure if they are hiring right now or not.
Are they hiring right now? Thanks,

are they hiring right now ? -
I sent a resume and haven't heard anything in over a month.
Are they hiring?
Have you heard if it's a good company to work for? IC or employee? I think I have a contact email that I can send you if no one else has already done it.
What is with all the hiring at
Are they expanding that much?
They better not be hiring..

Don't know if they are hiring PT . . .
I am working PT, and I chose to work a pretty fixed schedule. It's busy now and I have work, so I'm doing my hours. It's employee status, and I'm required to work one weekend a month and then rotate either T-giving or Christmas each year. If a holiday lands on one of your regularly scheduled days, you are required to work. I think this is all pretty much standard throughout the industry.
Seems like they are ALL always hiring, sm
complaining that there are no good U.S. mts, available, and using it as an excuse for voice recognition and hiring off shore.
If you are good, and can prove it by testing and experience, they are always hiring. Maybe not posting ads, but they are hiring.
saw they were hiring 40 MTS
for big new account. Anyone here work there. How do you like it. Pluses and minuses welcomed and appreciated.
