they've never met anyone who scored 100% before. I did! Poor little uneducated lifeguard me. No little MT certificate. Oh, no!

I think most recruiters are NOT MTs. They know very little about MT from what I've found. nm

I've lost track of how many people who've asked about it to NOT

Yes..and the people were told to bring
to the Superdome. Yes..it was all over the news that they could come to the Superdome for shelter, but to bring at least 5 days worth of food and water for themselves. Most did not..and the ones that did probably had it ripped off. Of course, any reason to blame our current government, people will grab it. Just the way it is.
No one cares. I have told many people SM
their medical reports are going offshore and NO ONE CAREES. They look at me and smile, like I have just escaped from an institution. They don't give a flying fig where their reports are done. They don't even read them.
i've been told ...
I dunno much about this neither -- I just do what I'm told. :/ I use a VPN connection. when I want to get tech help from the online system, I have to have my wireless laptop hard wired to be connected. so I was told. so that's what I do. it seems that might be a clue in the puzzle, but I can't take it any further. :)

I've told many accounts . . .
I have no problem with people who do it for less - they know what their work is worth, and clients have come to agree with me and want to come back. It cost them!
I've been told to use them in one account
and then another account I've been told I use too many.... 
So much for trying to be perfect... 
I've always been told to put 2. Even if not paid for - sm
2, since I have to proof-read everything before sending out, and 1 space makes it harder to read, I put 2 for my own ease of editing, in addition to it just looking better and more professional with 2.
I've never been told of any shortcuts to do this. Sure

QA discrepancy... told 2 different things by 2 different people. How would you handle this?
I am a brand new employee, so don't feel comfortable in this situation.

Star is a glutton for attention and told PEOPLE
That Tuesday that Star made her announcement....she had ALREADY gone to People Magazine PRIOR to the Tuesday show.......and spewed to them first - thereby sabotaging ABC's/Barbara Walter/Star Jones' already agreed upon announcement for that Thursday.
Star did this with the intention of *if I'm going down, I'm taking all of them down with me* and as a result, the View has lost viewership and probably will never come back as the once-good show it used to be. Star definitely did this with an ulterior motive and then tried to act like the VICTIM. Many saw right through this! How is someone going to STAB their *mentor* in the back like she just did?
Remember Joan Rivers? She did something similar to her *mentor* Johnny Carson and he never forgot it.!!!
Hopefully, Star Jones will become blackballed from Hollywood, albeit next week she is hosting at 10 pm House Hunters on HGTV.
I'm more annoyed to read that she is married to a Muslim *who hates Jews* - I did read that online in one of many articles. And then to listen to Star push Xtianity on The View seemingly contradicts her line about *it's very important that both married people have the same beliefs and religion* - is that an open admission that Star is now a *Muslim who hates Jews*? *curious* and not a religious discussion. Merely a discussion on Star's credibility which, to me, is NIL at this point.
You should've just told the person who gave
that you took the clothes you couldn't use to Goodwill and that your other friend bought them at Goodwill. Nothing she could do about that one!!! She'd have to tell Goodwill not to sell stuff to her and you know that wouldn't fly.
You did the right thing, though, and I probably would've done the same. This way you can continue to be friends with both without getting in the middle of things or causing hard feelings. :)
Thanks. I've told the same things to my kids about
Teasers in school. They just do it because they have no life, no self-esteem and they just try and feed off the misery of others or try to make themselves look better than everyone else.
It's very sad and so pathetic, but it carries on with these types through what is supposed to be adulthood.
I've always been told to put those in even when using 'the patient' for everything

Thanks! I've been told Infinity works with (sm)
the new platform I will be working on, I just needed to make sure it would work with my Start-Stop. I really did not want to have to get a new media player as well. Thanks again!
I've been told most errors are connection sm
related and media player related. This is for Windows XP. Remove all media players except the Windows media player. Wordclient conflicts with other media players. Also remove any of those browser toolbars like Yahoo. Go into your Control Panel Add or Remove Programs to find them and remove them through the control panel. Then, go to start-run-msconfig and click on the tab marked startup. Uncheck all the boxes except for your virus protection and click okay then restart. I had to do that to get rid of the errors and now I go in once a week to make sure the settings stay. I seldom have a problem now, maybe once or twice a week, not 10 times a day like I did before.
All groomers I have used, do it. The veterinarian I used to work for told people the groomer

I've known people that had their CMT that did
really crappy work and not even sure how they got their CMT. This one woman had had 6 jobs in less than 9 months and was fired from my company. She seemed to think she was superior and she wasn't getting what she was worth becauase after all she had her CMT (which she must have said every other sentence), but in reality she did sorry work (at least she did for my company).
I have 20 years of experience and have no desire to get my CMT. My MTSO said my work is excellent and that I'm paid at the highest rate that they pay and that having my CMT wouldn't make a difference. Some companies say they pay higher for CMT, but most don't.
I've never understood why some people consider...
certain jobs to be more important than others. The old cliche "Any job worth doing is worth doing well" comes to mind.
I believe that a person what does for a living doesn't have any bearing on how valuable that person is or how important that person is. Some of the most wonderful people I've ever known don't have what some might feel are "important" jobs, but they are wonderful people nonetheless.
And, some people who have what some might consider higher class jobs (boy, I hate that outlook) are some pretty miserable human beings.
People are people . . . and their worth isn't tied to their job in my book. I want to be a good person, and what I do for a job doesn't have anything to do with that.
If a store manager is a good person, doing a good job, he's  to me.
I wish some people would get off their high-horse!
I started posting as a former bank manager in a thread about consumer credit counseling. It seemed relevant at the time.
You are all some of the most heartless people I've ever met. sm
I honestly can't believe some of the replies posted to me - this being one of them. You may not agree with my advice, but I saw the OP was in pain and I offered her a shoulder to cry on, and the best advice I know. Her original post made it sound like her and the children were truly in trouble, and I honestly tried to help. I shared what is probably the most painful thing to ever happen in my life, and your answer to that is to call me an idiot.
Let's get one thing straight here -- I was talking about actual abuse ... you know, the kind where he threw me across the front porch and broke 3 of my ribs. It didn't happen in front of the kids... it never did... he would never do that in front of them and tarnish his "image" .. but he did have a temper in front of them, and they saw that often enough.
I thought the poster was actually being physically abused, like her original post said. I offered her some advice. If you don't like it, I'm truly sorry for that. But I seriously can't believe what heartless, hurtful people you can all be. You actually made me cry... and believe me, it's not easy to make me do that anymore.
There's one thing that I've seen stop many many people....
A heart attack or cancer. My father-in-law SWORE he could not quit not matter what, but had a coronary and that was his last cigarette. My own father quit cold turkey after 3+ packs a day when he began coughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath. I've also known people who had a cancer scare and were able to quit. If nothing else, FEAR will do it. Unfortunately, waiting for the fear might be too late for many.
You will run across some pretty rude people around here as you've seen...(sm)
but not everyone is like the one above. Welcome. I don't have any of my own clients, but the service I work for recently lost the account I worked on pretty much out of the blue. It's a real shock to have the work yanked from you like that, and I agree it was pretty cowardly for the wife not to just come out and admit when you directly asked. I don't know what to tell you but just wanted you to know that you can expect some real nastiness around here at times, but don't let it keep you away.
Recruiters, if an MT wants accounts with ops only,

Question to Recruiters
I was recently interested in applying to a company advertising for acute care MTs. I have 10 years and can do anything that's thrown at me (or take the time to learn it if I don't know it). I have an impressive resume. (I'm not trying to brag about myself but to explain the situation). I've always worked for about 5 years at whatever company I've worked for. I was running out of work too much at my present job and waited for months before deciding to apply to this company since I don't just jump around a lot. I didn't reveal this when I applied as I did not want to say anything negative about my present employer.
The recruiter sent me the application and testing files. A couple of days later, my schedule was changed to work nights to see if I could get more work. I emailed the recruiter and explained the situation. I didn't want to burn any bridges and understand recruiterment frustration when they don't hear back from applicants. I wanted to give the company some time to come through for me, but it still hasn't worked out.
I emailed the recruiter again and explained the situation, that I was still interested. I heard nothing. I left a message on his voice mail. He placed another ad and I responded to it, again hoping to be given a chance. Again no word.
Did I totaly blow my chances with this company? I thought what I had done was at least honest and honorable and showing that I wasn't playing games and took the issue seriously. This was the only company I would be willing to switch jobs for so I'm disappointed.
I would like some comments about what to do, if anything, and how other recruiters would view this situation.
Recruiters, would you be leery?
If you received an email from someone with a generic, i.e., hotmail address saying they were a recruiter for a company would you wonder? Seems odd to me.
I have to agree. I don't think the recruiters are
nm
You might, but some recruiters might not forgive that
s
Yes, there is a blacklist among recruiters,
for sure. The only problem is the recruiters who have this blacklist are the most unprofessional bunch of critters I have ever encountered! So, I consider it an honor that I'm on their blacklist!! You, me, and about 10,000 other MTs are on it!! I wonder who isn't on their blacklist?? LOL.
There is a "click" among recruiters and
channels like they are supposed to for checking employees. There is a supervisor at a Iowa hospital who is stating bad things about previusly MTs that didn't kiss up to her (or bow down to her). Watch your back MT supervisor and her two buddies. Someone is watching you!! Tee-hee -- Can't wait until they get busted and lose their jobs.
Question for any recruiters out there.
Is it absolutely necessary to state where we work currently on the application or our resume? I don't want my company to know I am looking.
I've worked for companies that needed people
specifically to do certain reports. I have been hired to exclusively do ERs and discharge summaries before. It wasn't cherry picking either. They needed someone to catch up their backlog and keep the reports within TAT permanently. Evidently, other people were cherry picking and bypassing these report types because they're not as good of money makers as Ops or H&Ps.
I refuse to go to Imail...I've gotten a virus from there and so have many other people. nm

I've seen people put a sign up that says "OUT OF CANDY"
and that usually does the trick.
I do. I've worked closely with these people for years,

I've heard people have to try a new food 10 times before they know for sure they won't like it
I heard that somewhere.
I had a SIL who actually SAT on her young children and force-fed them new foods if they refused them at the table. We were appalled, but weirdly, the kids often got up from the floor and happily ate the food they were just force-fed!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - animals know things people don't.
nm
Please, guys, surely you've seen these people's work SM
and are appalled at the very low quality. When training, I worked alongside one of them. The quality was atrocious, but she put out vast quantities of it, moving many reports a day for the hospitals and making lots of money for herself and her employer, so her job was actually very secure in spite of the many complaints that came in from the unfortunate clinicians who received her work.
But her speed cannot even begin to compare with that of a computer, or couldn't. I imagine she's safely retired now and doesn't have to face the change-or-get-out that will be required of other content slobs.
Wow, when did these recruiters become so high and mighty - sm
They were once transcriptionists. They do not have a degree in human resources or any initials behind their names, so what's with the God complex. I have worked for many MAJOR medical centers in the USA and to be talked to like that made me want to jump through the phone and strangle her. And I will bet you anything, I probably make more than her - how dare she bawwwwkkk at me on my pay! Oh it burns me more and more just thinking about it!
There is also a list of "difficult" recruiters!
I went thru a spell when I ran into one really out-there recruiter. First, I was contacted out of the blue by this person, who acted like they were doing a favor for a friend who ran an MTSO, and offered to hook me up. The whole thing was so completely unprofessional and scary, that I declined, but respectfully. Then a while later I applied at a company, and there was the same recruiter. I actually didn't move forward with the application due to this person. I did not have a high opinion. Then I applied at another company and the same recruiter was there. I did go further, got the job, but when I had to tell this recruiter what my current pay rate was, they called me a liar. I was stunned and then did not go further with this company, as to me, the recruiter reflects the company. I was really bothered by this, but then saw posts here about the same exact recruiter, with so many MTs posting the same exact thing, along with a few other recruiters whose paths I had crossed as well, many misrepresenting the companies they were hiring for in many areas. So, I have the list of recruiters to avoid at all costs, and I'll not forgot their names. It does work both ways, and the MTSOs who hire some of these people are off my list, too.
And hope & pray the recruiters don't know each other :) - (sm)
Remember, the MT world is a small community, especially the MTSO world. If your prospective recruiter/employer finds out about your "omission," you will not get the job automatically. But you have to do what you have to do.
I've had people tell me that I would need to wait to have my questions answered until I worked...
for them. What??? How would I know if I want to work for them if they don't answer my questions.
Go figure.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I've seen quite a few names, first and last, of people
mgmt on this board in the past, in similar situations, which is why I felt I could post this question. I certainly don't think I was not being tactful to the people I asked about, as I complimented them and enjoyed working with them. I wouldn't mind my name being on this board if someone said something nice about me.
I don't know! I've heard people live longer with a healthy sex life.

I am NOT lying! It's the truth. I've received solicits from at least 8 people overseas.
