It's not being pushy or desperate. It's showing the company that you definitely are interested and motivated. MTSOs want go-getters who will get 'er done, not people who sit back waiting and waiting. You need to follow up and make sure your email didn't hit their spam filters or accidentally get deleted.

Can someone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call or an email
address. I am interesting in asking a few questions to someone there in hopes of possibly transferring but I need some info first before I go from one problem to the same one elsewhere.
C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

I called HR and I did not know you had to follow up with a written complaint. Is there an email
address for written complaints at MQ. The HR person sounded all disgusted and I am sure she has been getting tons of calls.
Follow up regarding C phone dictation post below sm
Went to the Urology Clinic this morning. The doctors are dictating on a C-phone to a transcription service and they are transcribing the reports and sending them back to the office for me to QA. I download the files, check them, print and save. My questions is how can I have them route these files to my home computer. Wouldn't the transcription service have to send the files to me so that I can access the site on online with a user name and password? Can I do this through AOL or do I need to use Internet Explorer. Anything else I would need? Just need some input, because this current Editor may not come back and I may be taking on their actual transcription also. Big Company. Don't want to loose this one. Any ideas would be appreciated.
you ask all your friends to email you rather than call. nm

They at least owed you a call/email stating they would not -
After being in contact with an applicant, having them fill out a form, etc., it's just plain rude to give them no feedback whatsoever. What if an applicant let another job pass by while waiting for this one, thinking it was a better job and that because things had gone well on the phone conversation, that the application process would at least continue. Very unfair to you, and very rude of the employer.
I don't think she got the phone call.
If she did, she would be willing to tell us.
just got the phone call
Is its all personalized to the individual MT I was told. They've been watching us and the plan will be specialized to each one of us. Why do I suddenly feel like i'm in the game clue, but the only thing thats going to get murdered is a decent paycheck. Feeling anxious.
ANY MQ SE PEOPLE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
Re: MQ letter/phone call
Has anyone heard anything definitive from a supervisor regarding what is coming in this early October packet? Rather than speculate what "might" be coming, I'm wondering if anyone has spoken to their supervisor and gotten some sort inclination as to what's coming.
Call-in phone systems
What is the best call in phone system out there. I do not want call in on tapes though. I appreciate your input. Deb
Many phone call interruptions ...
these days, but I had one ESL today who was dictating fine, but when he was talking on the phone I couldn't understand him at all. I just wish I knew a keyboard command to speed him up and then slow him down again when he comes back to dictate. Oh, and when he came back from his phone call he knew exactly where he'd been with no pause. How'd he do that? :oD
Thanks - I guess I have a phone call to make --
nm
the MQ changes letter, phone call and now packet
got a bomb in it.
I've had that dreaded phone call twice before. Once was
a lab error, and the other time was precancerous but was resolved with in-office cauterization (painless), and that was 20 years ago!!! So, don't worry - very small odds of anything really bad. 
1. You got a phone call telling you that they are interested. 2. (sm)
2. Since you didn't respond, you got the "canned" email telling you that you had been written off their list. That's all it was.
There was NOTHING wrong with her leaving you a message. You may have shot yourself in the foot with this one. Hope your workflow keeps up.
Time for a phone call when stuff like that happens. nm
s
I returned her phone call and she never called me back either..sm
As a matter of fact, when I returned her call, the person answering the phone, didn't even want to take my number. I suggested that it might be a good idea.... what's up with that
Call United way. Dial 2-1-1 from a landline phone
or you can Google united way '_________'. fill in the blank with the name of your city. You can search their database online as well. There is help out there for you.
I have a call in system and also use tapes. We send completed reports via encrypted email.
I use MPCount, which is a free line counting program that you can download and it works great.
Off topic whining. Got an interesting phone call today.
DH used to have a pretty good job until the proverbial stuff hit the fan a few months ago. With no warning whatsoever and no bad performance reviews ever, he was told his job had been phased out and he was denied his overdue promotion. That left him unemployed and scavenging for a job. He did find a job at maybe a third of what he used to make. I doubled my workload and cut back the budget to try to make up some of the difference, but things still really stink financially. The stress is about killing me with the extra hours on top of everything else I do. Anyway, the phone call today was to let us know that he should never have been denied his promotion and his job will not be phased out now. Unfortunately, it's too late after how his boss handled it and what was said. He won't go back to working for that person ever again. Sigh... I can't blame. I wouldn't either. It's nice to know we were right, but it doesn't fix anything.
Yes a SCAM, huge email fraud..they would notify you CERTIFIED MAIL or lawyer would call
 I get 2-5 of them a day...ALL FOREIGN using yahoo or hotmail.
Is a C-phone like Bytescribe call-in system or Philips digital transcription
My 2 stations don't have the actual phone piece, but I can make calls to the place where I get work. I'm just curious because I want to take a test that requires C-phone, and I'm not sure if my stations will work or not. If anyone can give me some background or information on this, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

My first job was a total cold call to small local company...got hired over the phone- sm
give it a shot. Look in your yellow pages or on-line white and yellow pages and see what you can come up with. MT Daily has a list by state of MT companies to with their contact info. Also test your butt off anywhere and everywhere on line, you will learn a lot during the process. I found it quite enlightening when I was doing it 3+ years ago. Good luck.
Such lies. Just yesterday I had a payroll problem. 1 phone call, person answered, and IMMEDIATELY
remedied the situation. There are always people there to help us. Wendy is just lying, and like I'll bet she's lying about her name! Its sooooooooo stupid to do this stuff when you're a disgruntled ex.
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY
e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place. The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you. If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone. The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big
difference. Also, have you tried a different headset? Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone. It's a tiny hole. If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well. As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year. Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology. So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.
I know very little about Lanier equipment. I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone. Is there a local appliance repair place in your area? You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think. Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.
Not much help, I know. But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 
*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.

I use my c-phone whenever we travel. You can hook it directly into your room phone. Be sure and as

tried to email, invalid poster or email it said nm

San Antonio; email me; I can give you email for MT sm
who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.
I'm in Corpus.
I think you can dial into most systems that require C-phone without having a C-phone nm

I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?
??
May have to change phone companies, have switched to job using a C-phone. sm
Currently have Embarq (formerly Sprint), and my usage will be going up about 12,000 minutes a month. What phone companies offer really unlimited for a flat rate? TIA.
C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

I have cable phone access and my C-phone works - sm
I am not sure about you problem, because it sounds just like I have mine hooked up. The only thing I can think of is that mine has 2 line hookups in the back of the phone. If you have this too, I would just try the other one, which you probably have already done. Sorry that was not much help. I wish you luck
On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
just to follow up
To get 250 per hour...you really have to have your short cuts in place and be using them frequently, this is what I have to do anyway, and since switching jobs it has been hard to keep up due to the "newness" of the dictators, so my butt better be in that chair typing to make these kinds of results.
what? huh? can't follow...sm
talk about an inane message...
