I think you might have better luck sending resumes to companies who are NOT posting ads on the Job Seekers board. Looking at the number of hits their ads are getting those companies are probably already getting flooded with resumes.

Have you tried applying for
unemployment compensation while looking for a job? It might help to alleviate some of the pressure if you have bills to pay and might prevent you from accepting the wrong job out of desperation.
Good luck to you. 
Try applying elsewhere. I have 8 yrs exp. and most

thanks, I was considering applying
:-)
Are you applying
to MD-IT? All I know is I also am looking for info on this company, as they my clinic has outsourced all of our in-house transcription to them. I have an opportunity to work for them, transcribing the same physicians/therapists that I do now. However, they seem to not be too forthcoming with information. I am a little leary to sign on with them, having been in-house for 14 years. It is a little scary to me. I do not want to sign on and then miss the opportunity for unemployment/COBRA for a while and just take a break and move on. I don't know what to do here. Many sleepless nights I'll tell ya that much.
Why are you considering applying to OSI?
?
Won't be applying there.
Why do companies even allow this? It only allows the lazy MTs to make more money, leaving the MTs that will actually do all types of work by all kinds of dictators to struggle to make their line counts. This is why I am currently looking for a new job. I am tired of the cherrypickers on my account who refuse to work the ESL docs. You know what? I don't like them any more than you do, but I still do it. Why? Because it is my job!
Sorry, just makes me so angry! 
Applying MT
Because they know we seasoned MTs won't just settle. Too bad we can't organize all MTs to not settle.
applying MT
I believe that transcription companies and owners do not want to pay for real transcription quality and are willing to hire the ones that will accept the 0.3 cents for QA and the 0.7 and up to 0.825 per cpl. Where is the real appreciation for the excellent transcriptionists? It seems that Transcriptionist is viewed more as a money maker.
I saw that and thought about applying.
Sylvan that's never been used, couldn't get it to load onto the computer, and couldn't get a refund for. I wouldn't want to use them again. I noticed using that software is one of the requirements.
I was thinking about applying
I work every sunday now, and I would really like my weekends free. I also don't like the software too much, and I have to pay LD.
Thanks for all the info you gave me. 
Anyone with exp w/ PMT in Kentucky? Am considering applying there. Thanks! nm

Can anyone tell me anything about TTS? I am thinking about applying

Thank you. I appreciate your reply.
Applying for jobs
Do you tell them how much money you want? Sometimes if you do that they do NOT respond -- you may be asking too much. I have applied for five jobs and have heard from all five.
Just how aggressive should one be in applying (sm)
I have applied/tested for several companies. So far only one has contacted me and, to be honest, they're not my first or second choice. I did email one of the contact persons listed, was told they'd received a large number of resumes and were working through them. Should I be sending followup emails to everyone? Phone calls? At what point does one become an annoyance?
I thought about applying there, but I think 6 cpl
If you go to their website, you see what they charge their clients, so they're making a bundle off of their ICs.
Applying online....
On www.mditrans.net there is a link on the left that says apply online. I don't think there is a link to apply online at the other site, just email/phone numbers if you wish to contact them.
Not Worth Applying With
I tested with them last year and spent a very long time on the test to get it just right, but they never felt the need to even respond to me with good or bad feedback. Just ignored me completely, like you should do them. I feel no response in either direction to an applicant says a lot for a company. Maybe if they read this they will learn some business decent procedures and treat their applicants better.
I was thinking of applying
Do they pay more than 3 cpl for editing? I need to make some money and that's the best offer I've seen so far and it's pitiful from what I've read on the boards.
I am applying for Transtech
What is the report limit until you are released from QA at Transtech? I need to think about how to finagle it with my present job. Is it 5 or 10? Thank you.
It depends on how many others are applying. I think
it took about 2-1/2 days to hear back after testing. Evidently testing goes through a normal QA process, only it is last in line, so it may take a while based on how many others are applying.
applying to spheris
Does anyone know the name of the person in charge of recruiting new applicants, or the one who reviews application for new grads?
I thought about applying to MDI
but I have a friend who works for them and although she loves them and says the people are great, she also says the work is low a lot of time time. (She is on WAV.) She has another source of income so it is no big deal for her. Sadly, I am not in that situation. I am the breadwinner and so needed to go where there was steady work. She did say she loved them, though.
I'm on about the 5th week after applying
I am just now starting to hear back from them. Good luck!
Considering applying at DSG, any comments from MTs
working there right now about how you like it.
Try applying at Smartmed....
The last I knew, they were hiring for a large teaching hospital. The platform is okay but they pay on time and have benefits. But I think they hire first as IC and then you can go to employee status.
What position are you applying for? nm

I have been applying for jobs
and I would certainly like to know the name of this employer! I never want to work there.
I absolutely would contact the labor board in the state you live and then notify your supervisor of your intent.
I would type an e-mail to your sup and copy yourself that says your complete side of the story, just like you explained here, and then ask for an explanation as to how they are withholding lines from your paycheck.
Keep all correspondances!!!!!! Also, trying and print the IM if you can!
Applying on job board
When click on job opportunities on job board, do you click Apply underneath the Google ad? It always says I don't have the right to view that page. Just wondering if my resume is getting sent to where I want it to go. Thanks.
Question for those of you applying
Maybe I'm not as good as I thought I was, but I'm not getting a lot of responses on resumes I'm sending out. I've got almost 30 years in the field, I've never taken a test that I didn't ace, but still the responses are few and far between. Is it that they're so overwhelmed by responses that they're hiring from the first 10 emails they get, or are my years of typing literally anything no longer a commodity?
Was thinking about applying at Transcend.
I've heard a lot about VR and the VR platform. Are all their accounts on this?
I was thinking about applying for this company
myself as an SE but I had been reading some bad things about it and got scared off. However, I have read some very good things about MQ too!
Has anyone tried applying for the anatomy transcription?
I wonder how much the pay would be...1 peso per line?
Actually, if someone cannot follow the directions applying, how are we to believe
that they would follow directions at any time?
Not true IMO.. when I was applying for IC less than a year ago
Tested for a few and did excellent, was contacted immediately, told me I did fantastic on the test (and I have over 15 years experience in everything including QA) and was excitedly offered a whopping 9 by the company cheerleaders! And that was with a schedule including a weekend day! So seemingly 9 is very difficult to get. I told them to keep their pom-poms! ;)
Was thinking about applying at Transtech.
Could anyone give me info on if they have orthopedic accounts or what kind of accounts they do have, pay info and how they are to work for. Also do they hire part time employees.
I don't work there, I was thinking about applying. nm

Kelly, which account are you applying for??
If you are applying for ortho using Emdat. There is LOTS of work. Im not sure what account the person who talks about cherrypicking works on, but there has been tons of work lately. Again, not sure what account she is talking about with the bad dictators because ALL of the ortho emdat docs are pretty darn easy compared to other nationals. The pay isn't the greatest, but I would rather type easier accounts for less pay then ESLs for 1-2 cpl more. I really enjoy working for them. Hope this helps!!
scams. i am very new to applying for positions
transcription companies. I would appreciated any info/tips on how to identify a scam company.
I am considering applying and just wanted info. sm
I have been doing transcription locally, but wanted a part-time position to supplement work load and they offered part-time or overflow work. It sounded like it could be what I am looking for.
Oh no! I was thinking about applying with that company.

Thanks for that info - I was thinking of applying there but not now! nm

got an email today from them after applying
this was one of the requirements for an acute care MT
We now require a minimum of 5+ years of recent, full-time medical transcription experience. No other medical experience, experience gained through school or nonmedical transcription is acceptable. Recent means no more than a 2-year gap since last full-time transcription position.
