I took their test yesterday, and today got a call
with no interview, nothing - and got offered a job. Want me to train tomorrow, and start next week already. Seems suspect. Although, he did say they have the account, but can't actually get it up and running until they get people in place. Very weird ... I pass.
sent resume yesterday, offer today nm

Well, mine have even less today than yesterday. I don't know what is going on. I know summer te
to wax and wane, but I've only seen wane this summer, no wax. Usually it's up and down, not steadily down, in my experience. I'm becoming very concerned about being able to make ends meet.
I e-mailed with resume yesterday and am testing today.
She gave me 2 company names I had not seen on the boards, both have better terms than I am making now or had found on my own.
Passed their test, had 2nd interview yesterday. Today,
this is the response I received via e-mail.
Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with me yesterday about employment opportunities at MD-IT. Unfortunately, your attributes as a Transcriptionist do not meet our needs.
What attributes are they looking for, I ask? Worked for same company for years, 99.5% QA score every quarter, always working on time every day, team player.
I didn't like the 2nd interview, knew it was not going well. The questions asked were phony psychological garbage, and no matter your experience and how well you tested, everyone starts on their tier system at 0.075 cpl...slave wages.
I had already decided overnight I would not go to work for them even if offered, so I feel I have been blessed today and kept from making a huge mistake in working for a company that devalues you before you even walk through the door.
Hallelujah! Be joyful fellow MT. There are better companies out there than this one.
That explains it, yesterday I had no work, this morning DS on today's date. NM

Any people at CardioScribes get paid today? When I got my invoice yesterday, sm
I kinda thought that meant I'd be paid today. I know payday is not until tomorrow, but they usually are early, and I thought I'd check before I asked Raul about it.
Thanks.
I had no problems working yesterday, but today I'm completely locked out ... sm
The suggestions given by MDI's tech support have not worked for me, and I haven't been able to work all day. I see that I just received another email from them. Maybe I'll have good luck with this suggestion.
Blind leading the blind, but here goes...
At the very top, where it says, file, then edit, there will be view. Click on view. Click on toolbar. Play around with adding and deleting toolbars until you get the one(s) you want.
Good luck!
this may be the blind leading the blind, but...
I think it is control F3, then I think what you want is under local configuration. How quickly we forget this stuff, geez!!
Your link is broken.....see inside for correct link:

Am I getting blind???
Wow, Cardioscribes closed their position already? What happened to their last post?
How blind are you...
I received a call from HR and he SPECIFICALLY told me that my job was being cut for the work to be sent offshore. How can you defend this - it is blatant.
I must be blind as a bat - I don't even see their AD
Maybe I'm just looking so hard for it that I'm overlooking it?
Missy....are you blind?
You can't see the forest for the trees. Keep plugging away and you will find out just how much you are not appreciated and I hope it is not too late. You probably need compassion but you will find that it will not come from OSI. They have snakes in their heads and deep down don't care, they are just using you to better themselves.
If I were blind, I'd still recognize it as
I don't think they're blind to it
It wouldn't surprise me to find out they cultivate it. They allow a couple of MTs to become golden. Their supervisors spoon feed them the best of the work during their preferred shift and ensure that they have as much as they want. So what if the other 876 employees are dying out there.
Voila! You've got a couple of people who will come on boards like this one and sing exhaultations your company to the end...vowing that the naysayers are just disgruntled former employees or, even more likely, just lazy complainers.
Management isn't blind, but they're hoping the MTs remain so.
Is there really a shortage of US MTs or am I blind and deaf?? sm
I was talking to a prospective employer today. First off, it is a start-up company in US. They already have a base in the Philippines. Well, that turned right off; however, we continued the conversation. My question to this person was this.....so, if you were to get contracts for MT here in the US, are you willing to just hire US MTs? Answer...Well there is such a shortage of good quality MTs here in the US and we would like to have the work done in the Philippines. My next question, and if the contract specifically states all work is to stay in the USA, what then? Well, then we would hire only US based MTs.
Finally, I had to stop him in his tracks....I told him I emphatically disagree. There is not a shortage of US MTs. The problem is that you or any other Internationally based company is not willing to pay the US MTs what they are worth. You want cheap labor, and you won't get that in the US. Our MTs here in the USA produce such a high quality patient record and you have to be willing to compensate for that. If you are interested in USA contracts but want to use cheap labor with no concern for quality, than I am not the person for this position.
I am so furious right now as I mull over the conversation......am I just blind or is there really a shortage here in the US of quality-driven MTs.
I am an MT myself as well as QA Specialist and I just do not agree with this mentality. I think they use this excuse to justify their wanting to offshore. I see through the smoke screen; however, I guess I just need to hear it from my fellow MTs.
What are your thoughts on this issue of not enough trained and experienced MTs here in the USA?
That is what these companies who are robbing us blind think you will do!

My former employer swore it did. Now, I'm half blind. :(

Never mind- I'm blind, didn't see the post below.

Okay.. you have a point.. isnt that the "blind leading the blind." Maybe 1.5 cpl is appropria
THINGS THAT MAKE YA GO HMMMMMMM
It is very sad you are so accepting of offshoring and AAMT turning a blind eye to the American MTs.
The offshoring would not be a problem if there was not such a huge difference in cost. We are on the losing end and taking pay cuts because of offshoring. Also, I know many who have lost their jobs to cheap labor overseas. AAMT is encouring this. That is wrong. America is slowly become a third world country in itself. If we don't stop it now, there will be no jobs left for Americans. I don't care where you are from or what kind of job you have, the pay should be equal for all so the competition is fair. You will find after some time with AAMT, you will be ignored and will receive nothing but redundant information from AAMT office and local chapters. Anything they offer can be gained via the internet now.
Not blind. Brown nosers make great workers for the

MT's of yesterday
I, too, started doing MT in the old days. I started out with a selectric typewriter and dictabelts. I sure loved it. There were 12 docs on staff and I was the only transcriptionist. However, due to my then husband being in service, I stopped doing MT to follow him around. We have since been divorced and I am the administrative secretary to a hospital president. I still love MT better than any job I ever did.
yes - just yesterday again

Saw this yesterday
I saw a segment on a TV show yesterday where it was reported Hillary Clinton spoke to some Indian business leaders, and she told them she wants more visas issued so more can come over and start businesses [that will take away jobs]. The commentator did say she wanted to charge money for the visas [I don't know if they are currently free or just cheap] and that maybe she was just saying this to the Indian businessmen because she wants political contributions from them, because apparently elsewhere she has been saying she doesn't want jobs taken from Americans. In a later segment it was reported that China was going to start making cars to be sold in the US by Chrysler [Chrysler will only market them for China, they won't be making them here]. Right now if the US wants to send cars to China for sale the tariff they charge is 25%, but if China wants to send a car here to sell the tariff we charge is only 2.5%. Also if the US sells cars in China we have to make parts for the cars over there. No wonder the headline for this whole thing was called war on middle America. This is one of those times when I wish I was close to retiring.
Concerning VR yesterday for me
I check my line count each hour as I have always done and yesterday with an hour and 15 minutes on VR I had over 800 lines at 4 cents a line. The VR can be almost letter perfect but it takes good training in order to get it there. I said crud, hope am not working myself out of a job because the platform has turned out to be really good. I chuckled yesterday when reading 1 poster who said she had ESLs that VR would never understand. She would be, like me, completely taken aback to see just how good it can be, with the proper training. I made $32 hours yesterday for the first hour so that is not a bad salary. I hope VR will never be able to go straight through also because that means no job for me!
Yesterday was end of pp at TT and I'd like to know
who got their line count for the payperiod. I would like to hear honesty, not just that you got the whole pp line count in the first day, or anything like that. I need to find out if it is possible to do this, or if I need to start working all day every day from the first day of the pp and on every day to do it... Today is day 1 of the pp and I wonder if I should start now... though it would mean 24/7 checking the computer. Thank you for your input and suggestions on getting my required lines! Need the money and the benefits...
In a thread yesterday or the day before, a QT MT said that .... sm
she had heard from loose-lipped office staff, as I believe she put it. Soit was leaked out unintentionally but, I would imagine, not without merit.
Got mine yesterday - nm

I had no work yesterday....
...and this morning the same thing. I'm looking elsewhere. I can't pay bills if my fingers aren't makin' money! This is ridiculous. Plus, they are advertising to hire more MT's. There is no work for the ones that are employed there now.
I just did 2 reports yesterday out of 100 who were
on the wrong patient. I could tell. VR would not be able to. Because I was able to put Discrepancy Alert on the top of a report, it may have kept the unthinkable from happening.
I am hoping these scenarios will keep the quality conscious physicians with MTs who have a heart beat.
ok they told me yesterday and I do not....sm
I don't need to be told twice........I don't make the same error twice.
Have applied with them just yesterday. sm
Have done a search but cannot find too much information about them. Could you tell me why you are so happy with AllType, please?
tested yesterday
I haven't heard anything back from them yet. So far, the experience has been very pleasant. Amy, who I believe is the VP, has been so nice and helpful. She acts like she really wants me to work for her rather than the take it or leave it attitude I have gotten from other people.
I tried to take a test yesterday.
Been with MQ for 5 years, mostly good until recently when my account went over to Dictaphone and got a new supervisor (after 4 years) with the restructuring April 1. I took a test using Express Scribe, and the sound quality was horrible - LOTS of white noise. It makes me wonder about the sound quality of other companies. If MQ has the best equipment, I may never find another job. How depressing!
Their best supervisor had her last day yesterday and she usually
would get them right on it. So many new people in positions they do not know how to do and the MTs are on the ones suffering. Counting the hours and days until my time is up with them.
I applied yesterday....sm
she only pays 7 cents a line. Wish she would have put that in her ad. I wouldn't have bothered to apply at all! 
I had my internet go down all yesterday and TT said to me sm
It can't be helped. I asked how long they would give me to make up the time I have lost...all pay period which just started Monday (this an employee position). I apologized, I felt bad and I told them I didn't want to lose this job. They said not to worry, we won't be getting rid of you, RELAX and try to enjoy a forced day off, come back ready to work when your internet comes on. Sigh...I like this.
QA continues to be wonderful and understanding. I was fit to be tied with a new work type today so my supervisor called me and was most kind. I got off the phone feeling better about things all the way around. She told me to RELAX we are like family around here and we are glad to have you.
I had internet problems all last spring and into the summer. I got from the MT manager: Email me and let me know what is going on. You think if I could email I'd be on the PHONE telling you my internet is down? Then my supervising QA whined and whined at me every time I went down, like I had control. Then she dumped work on me because I owed it to those who covered for me to give them a break now that I was back on. They were far from understanding.
My TL said they were mailed yesterday, 01/31 also.
Got mine yesterday.
They are postmarked the 30th.
I just tested yesterday
I sent my resume some time ago, and was finally invited to test yesterday. I was told there were only 4 positions open. This company sounds like everything I've been looking for so my fingers are crossed.
I talked to her yesterday or the day before... nm

I applied yesterday
and got a call this morning. Very prompt.
I just bought yesterday,
some Phillips iPod ear buds from Walgreen's for $20 and I LOVE them! They have 3 different size ear buds you can attach with a little spongy rubber ring that cancels out all background noise. They are comfy, too, as they finally made a small enough ear bud to fit in my little ears. Definitely worth a try!
was emailed yesterday
To set up an interview. I told the person I was availabe today and tomorrow and gave times availabe, but I haven't gotten a confirmation.
I got laid off yesterday...duh
...
I accepted yesterday
I applied on their website Monday and received an email, then a phone call from the recruiter. We spoke for almost an hour, all my questions were answered and they sound like a good company. I had to complete a sheet about my computer and the recruiter said he wanted to discuss accounts with the team leader. I sent my form back in and he called as scheduled yesterday morning. The ER account sounds like I will have plenty of work and I accepted. I then got an offer letter by email and hiring paperwork that I am working on today, I start Monday and just can't wait. They use Chartnet and from what I have researched that is a productive platform. I have never had such a professional or prompt response from a company and look forward to having steady work. Lee.
That's the one that wouldn't come up for me yesterday.
Getting a page load error again today with nothing.
