are you adding your names/addresses into

your abbreviation file so you don't have to look up the same name/address twice? That is what I do. With an MD with multiple locations, I will name it something like SmithDown for Dr. Smith, Downtown or JonesLake for Dr. Jones at Lake Forest. You would still have to cut and paste some in the cc field or you might ask operations if there is a way to build a spreadsheet document and add to it as you come across new names/addresses.

And how many addresses & names you look at, your kids, lawnmower noise, etc. nm

addresses
I also have to search rosters for docs and addresses and do not get paid for it. I have a list. I have thought about it many times. I guess it is part of the job but it would be nice if we could just type. I do get paid for all templates.

I forgot to say I do not work for MDI
About email addresses...
I like to see if someone has a personality and I enjoy the cutesy email addy's to brighten my day and try to figure out what some stand for. I, too, am a recruiter and yes QUITE A BIT MORE LAID BACK! I hire based on qualifications on the resume not whether the email address is cutesy or not. I should hope all recruiters do. Sometimes you need a little chuckle during the day and not all business!! I feel those recruiters who are like that are sooo boring. I have had a lot of luck with the people have hired and they enjoy speaking to me because I am not UPTIGHT!!
True. Another way is to log IP addresses.
These companies know your IP address when you are working and they can log those addresses when you log into webinars, online courses, meetings, etc.
I cannot say that I blame them, though. There are ways you want to verify who is really in attendance in this virtual world.
It is foolish for anyone to think that you can completely hide from your employer.
Yes, but they don't know posters email addresses. The only way
they would know is if the poster replied back to them.
I say have the administrator check the IP addresses
That's the only way to know for sure!! Can you do that, administrator??
Help! I lost all my TT email addresses (sm)
because I had to get a new computer.
Can anybody send me a list BY EMAIL PLEASE for all the group 3 emails? 
I'm fairly new to KS, but I know they are adding
2 new accounts by February, so there should be lots of work. The account I am on is fairly new and still working out all the kinks, but right now there is a lot of work available on it too, so you might want to talk to your lead or Lee and ask for more work.
Adding a question to yours...
do they pay hourly or by the line for QA?
Sorry. I was just adding to the insults.
I was also offering my own experience with my particular company. He was pointing out the expenses of the MTSOs and I was pointing out the growing expenses of the MT. In other words, I was sharing my viewpoint as well.
Is this doc lists and addresses or MT-specific stuff? nm
s
They definitely had a F BBB rating within this year but I see now that they changed addresses.
I cant imagine why they would want to change addresses, maybe hoping that they would look like a new and different company to the BBB and others. Same stuff different day.
Just this month alone, I have turned in the addresses & phone numbers (sm)
of two different British scammers to Yahoo, who were trying to get me to send them money.
And in December it was the South Africans. Got a bunch more from India and Singapore last fall.
...all this "stuff" should be in there. I keep adding to it as changes are made, etc. nm

If you try adding more than one time the ESP screen
will be behind your other screens. If you minimize them you will see it.
Adding, you do have to work the shift SM
you commit to. If you are wanting flexibility as far as being able to leave in the middle of a shift and make up the time later, you would have to negotiate a split shift with them in the beginning and see if they would go for that. As far as my experience goes, I did 8 hours with a lunch break and turned in 40 hours per week. I'm sure if there was an emergency I could have flexed my time for 1 day but if you need flex time every day for picking up kids, etc. you should mention that in the interview and see if they can accommodate. Once you commit to a schedule it is difficult to get it changed.
what do you mean "toggle over." and what is your formula for adding it up? Help!
nm
Awesome! Thanks for adding to the list!
Really appreciated!
Adding insult to injury
My coffee cup came apart in the dishwater today.
I don't blame you. We have personal information on those resumes, addresses, phone, etc. (sm)
and any fool can access those.
Hopefully they learned their lesson on this and will not post anymore resumes like that.
Yes, still hiring. They are adding two more hospitals before the end of the year and are looking
for like another 30 or 40 MTs.
...and perhaps adding a statement to contract before signing
outlining course of action (fines, etc.)in the event. If they have a problem with that - well...
Why is it we do not have our own contracts to present to companies? Two areas of concern - guarenteed work and failure to pay.
Excel logs and adding up job lengths (sm)
This is for the MTs who have to keep an Excel log for jobs and need to add up the minutes transcribed at the end of the day.
I've done some footwork today and discovered a Microsoft page which tells you how to enter times into cells: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266691
I haven't figured how to automate it, but basically Excel recognizes minutes and hours if entered in the following format: hh:mm:ss. So if you have a 5 minute 12 second job, you would enter 00:05:12 in that cell. Then at the end of the day you enter the formula =Sum and the cell range (the link gives specific example) and it adds up your minutes and seconds automatically for you.
I thought I'd share. I've been adding my account by hand because I didn't know how to sum with minutes and seconds till now.
Wonderful company, but you type letters and look up addresses and you do not get paid for spaces nm

Line padding. adding extra words.

We will be adding that feature back, we are just in transition of migrating over to our newer
version of the forum software. We appreciate your patience. 
I wonder what the quality of the work is like adding all those people to accounts. I agree. They
will lose accounts this way and MTs will move on. No one is going to sit around and make no money and then have QA breathing down your neck when you are thrown into all these accounts. So no one listens in New York. What is the problem with them.
What I read was that they opened a center in India BUT were adding work for them and keeping their
domestic work force as well.
Only when names are used. If you do not
use names, the posts will not be deleted.
This must have been a long time ago because with HIPAA, no one can use someone else's ID and KS is very strict about that now, if not in the past.
The leads have been changed over the past few years and especially over the past few months and weeks.
It might be worth revisiting just to see the positive changes. I am not saying that KS is the right fit for everyone, but I will say that things are MUCH better organized over the past 3 months than EVER before and the new office, with having so many people in the same place (finally) will make that the norm not the exception.
I can't name names but this is
There must be a lot of problem in QA and I heard a rumor that 3 people are about to get fired. they wanted somebody in there in place before this happens so they will have a QA staff because they have a big backlog. I wasn't sure about it because they kind of come and go so I was offered the extra line rates for now to motivate me to learn my newbie program and take the step to teach QA
Those 2 names
Probably the same 2 from the other company
seems to me I see the same names
I always see every day and communicate with regularly with the same MTs - - group looks to be over 100 now where is used to be only about 50 - - they are growing and that's why they need MORE MTs... new accounts like crazy coming on, I see the emails from the acct manager regarding new accounts starting up - - reason tells you thats why they need more MTs - I know I'm not working on any of the new accounts and see a growing list of MTs in the group emails weekly
I don't know particular names, but
that advertise they use an FTP site. Most FTP sites have you type in Word. Hope this helps a little. Not a platform lover here either.
No more names, please. (sm)
I have removed several replies to this thread that were naming 2 different people associated with this company.
Let's just leave the last names off and realize that the original poster is referring to the company Allstate and the owner of it.

They also use other names now since so many
I recently saw ads with another name and it was the same exact wording TransAm uses so they're now using other names to try to lure unsuspecting MTs into their web. Basically, a good rule of thumb is any company that advertises 100 of the same ad all over the place, states you can make a ton of money with no experience and they'll show you how, and wants you to work for free or pennies, it's a scam, and probably TranScam. lol
I would like to see names also, but
also think it is a crap shoot either way. You never really know if a company is the right fit for you until you actually work for them. It all depends on what a person is looking for, what accounts they get, their supervisor, etc. For instance, there are a lot of negative posts about MQ, but I do very well there. Some companies that people rave about being good I have worked for and not been happy with, mostly due to lack of work or platform...crap shoot.
I don't want to name names...but...sm
it is a job posted on mtjobs.com.....company out of california.
I don't think so..unless she has different business names. nm

They had people's NAMES in them, a no-no.
I do not know of ML&M or any of those names but Jamie.

Ubiqus goes by many different names - and
they also offshore their work. In fact, they have lost quite a few clients in the past three months because of the quality of the work that is being returned. I work with their sales guy, as well as transcribe for them. But I DEFINITELY do not rely on them to be my bread and butter. I'd be the skinniest Transcriptionist in the world! They definitely do not pay well for pharmaceutical work
Funniest thing - the owners used to have this thing about converting everyone that worked onsite to go into scientology. I just humor them.
Is there some reason we can't come right out and name names?
Do we have to use cryptic abbreviations for these non-paying or slow-paying companies?
You can't post names
/
PS: No names needed.
No names needed, as I believe that is against board policy now, but just wanted to get a broad idea of how much per year deductable you pay if you work for a national service.
I would also ask about looking patient's names up and such.

Personal names. How would you like to see your own name
trashed on this forum? If not, maybe you shouldn't do it to this man, either.
You don't call names?
Be careful of your thoughts. They become words.
Be careful of your words. They become actions.
Be careful of your actions. They become habits.
Be careful of your habits. They become your character.
Be careful of your character. It becomes your legacy.
Nah, but don't wanna name names. nm

What is the LLC after company names
I see several companies on the job boards that use the initials LLC after the name. Are these companies related?
Ty
Real Names
Like you do???---Passing Thru--. I call them as I see them; there are no gray areas here. Also, NO ONE should ever give their personal information out on ANY public website, i.e., name, e-mail address, etc.; too many psychos out here...
