considering I've applied for 52 jobs in the last 10 days and only got 1 reply for 5 cpl..I wonder
bc
I totally agree.. Hey, I think I've applied to that company ..LOL
If you e-mailed me about this I e-mailed you back
yesterday.
I have an adjustable keyboard tray. My parents bought it for me for Christmas years ago and I don't know where they got it and they are no longer living for me to ask. If you go to any office supply website and Google adjustable keyboard trays you'll find several. You really don't need an adjustable tray, especially since with a pillow on top you really just need a support for the pillow.
I prop my pillow on top of my tray and then put my keyboard on the pillow. If you just a firm pillow your keyboard will bounce and you'll spend all day chasing it, so use a pillow that is sort of squishy.
I'm not sure why, but I find I sit with my back against the chair when I use a pillow. The pillow absorbs the stress from your fingers and wrists, adds support for your arms and shoulders and I find I'm more relaxed and more productive.
I e-mailed someone I know
On one account I work on, it's a *.dot file (template) she created that has a pop-up screen that asks for things like Patient Name, MR #, MD name, etc. You just fill in the info and the macro snaps everything into the template and you're ready to go.
I asked her if she learned this through the Word Help file or books, and which ones. As soon as she gets back to me, I'll let you know. This is considered one of those time savers.
I e-mailed you.

I E-mailed You.
If you don't receive my e-mail, feel free to e-mail me through here :o).
Why can't they be mailed to you?
It is not that expensive to put the pay stubs in an envelope and use snail mail. Also, why can't they be sent by email?
Anyone have an inkling when these will be mailed out?
xx
I e-mailed you...sure hope you got it!
Hugs,
JoAnn
Mine were mailed to me also.
The sender obviously wants proof it was received. I receive Certified mail from my employer when it is important such as forms to fill out, etc. Doesn't have to mean dooms day.
Hayseed... I e-mailed ya'
re: cropping avatar.... Thanks. 
Nobody called or e-mailed (sm)
from my hospital either. I had just gotten up and turned on the TV and Charlie Gibson was on, which was weird, because it was a little after 9:00 and he should have been off. He was talking about the building being hit, and I saw the second plane live.
I was in such shock I could barely tear myself from the TV to work. Nobody from the hospital called or emailed about it that day or ever. It was the strangest thing.
To the person who e-mailed me
I'm not comfortable at this time giving out the name of the company. I will say that it is a very small company in Georgia, in the Atlanta area. This individual is very vindictive and spiteful, apparently with no life of their own. If, however, you want to e-mail me the name of the company with which you have had problems, I will be happy to either confirm or deny that it is the same company.
Are your checks being mailed? If so,
check the date it was postmarked. Check with your company and see when they mail your checks, then count the days it took to receive it. If it is taking too long, complain to the Post Office!!!
We are having a problem with our checks. My husband's checks get mailed on a Friday, but he may not receive them until a week or later, if he receives them at all!!! As of today, he is missing another check that was mailed 12/31. Four checks have been lost in the mail since they put the new rates into effect. Of course, his company stops payment on them, costing them more money, and then re-issues another check. He used to get them a day or 2 after they were mailed before the new rates. This puts us in a bind, too. His checks come from 45 miles away.
I finally went on line and placed 2 complaints, as I was missing 2 checks during the past few months, too. Mine come from 11 miles away.All our mail goes to a central post office, 50 miles away and that is one of my complaints I placed. Three days for a letter to go from my home town to my home town is ridiculous. 
So, it may not be your company's fault, but the good ole post office.
I just e-mailed you with instructions
for the AutoText entries. You cannot use outside programs (text expanders, shorthand, etc.) with InScribe. It's kind of a long process to add AutoText, so I save up 25 or 30 and enter them all at once, usually.
My tapes are mailed
and I E-mail the reports back. Works great plus cuts down on gas.
my tapes are mailed
I have the same deal. They mail me the tapes and I email the work back.
I agree. I just e-mailed her
Yes, it IS high here. I've been here 37 years (life long) and it never ceases to amaze me. It's all the retirees driving the cost up.
anyone know the deadlines for the W2s/1099s to be mailed out by? nm

Just e-mailed the Oprah! show
I just finished posting a comment to the Oprah! Show. If/when (I'm an optimist!) I get a response, I'll be letting y'all know. Happy Wednesday! 
Have you ever been e-mailed pictures of someone in your company
and then wish you hadn't looked?
I was in the same situation. I E mailed my resignation.
Offer up a small notice. They still have your last paycheck to send you and they sound really nasty. Do the minimal amount to do for them, be professional to them and then get out as quick as you can. Remember, though, if you want your check, just do what you can to make sure you seem professional and not stooping to their level. But if you are happily leaving, e mail notice ASAP and forget about them except for your small notice obligation and focus mentally on your blessings. This will get you through the difficult time left with them. THen let go of them and forget them. Trust me. I had trust issues with jobs for 6 months after a bad experience with 1 MTSO, and am just letting go now. Above all, preserve your self-esteem, be professional and courteous, but get out. Good luck!
wow, i have never applied...
with a company that even questioned my background. ive probably seen conviction questions on a couple of applications, but i was never even asked about my background during an interview.
keep looking, keep applying; their out there.
i applied also
They did send me a response, however. They said that the position had been filled but they would like to keep my resume on file for a future position.
Never applied; do not need JLG.

I saw the ad too and applied
I did not hear back from them, but I do feel like they were paying that because they were looking for someone for the three days only, although they may pay that for stats all the time and were just in a pinch with Thanksgiving coming up. My experience is that most companies do not pay extra for stats, but I am rarely asked to do them. I know that they exist though (as you obviously know too, what with having a friend who is actually living it).
Wow, what a great site....always mailed mine in but think - sm
I will start doing this. Actually I have not paid at all this year, so maybe I will start now and get a little in the "pot" so to speak. Thanks for the tip, a weekly or bi-monthly payment will certainly help ease the pain and make it more "normal".
I e mailed the Oprah show about a year ago sm
I got an automated response and that was it. I have always loved Oprah, but she is into helping kids in other countries, not so into helping here.
When I was job hunting, I applied
and was offered a job, declined. Now I am so glad, I will not work for a company that wants to put MTs out of business in this country. I would never, ever work for Spheris.
I applied 2 different times
The first time it took awhile and I finally gave up on them (around a year ago),but this time they didn't take long at all. I have been there only a couple weeks, but they seem to make the effort to give their current employees the work they want and try not to overhire. I know that some people on here have just been hired so they may be busy with training to. Hang in there!
Have you applied to National co's and getting
xx
ditto! I have applied
I have applied at hotels, and clerical jobs outside of MT work, because this is a dying profession. It's all turning into a joke now. Where are all the good jobs? I used to be at the top of my game and make great $$$$.
BEWARE OF THE SCAM MT COMPANIES! I had put in a lot of hours for one company!
Every job I applied to has. Tell them I dont

I too applied for an out of home (sm)
position as a unit clerk at the hospital. Figured with 20 years in the medical field doing front office as well as transcription, I'd at least get an interview. Nada. Not sure if it's the at-home stigma or what. Keep sending in applications and resumes. That's what I'm doing. Good luck.
I believe that this was applied to transcription
is so the record would be more "consistent" all the way through.
I applied for a job at a very well-known hospital. SM
The person that called me kept telling me I had to come in and take a typing test. I kept telling her I was a CMT and she kept saying she understood that I had a certificate from an MT school. This will never change. Those that have no clue are the ones that are put in leadership positions. And if you're lucky to have a cousin already in you may have a chance, otherwise forget it.
actually applied this week
took about two hours - testing includes Excel, Word, basic grammar, basic filing, and typing test. Got all fired up, they were going to fax my resume "right now" and I would hear back "tomorrow at the latest"...still waiting. Be prepared to give out a lot of information (SS number, at least 3 professional references, entire work history including any gaps) etc. I know I aced the Word/spelling/grammar tests (and I suck at Excel but told them that up front and the position did not require Excel), know I passed the criminal/background check, and yet I wait. Sigh. Good luck to you though; maybe you will score!
someone just e-mailed me "how to write a letter to your Senator" -
I responded to this e-mail and attached a sample for her (Sarah) to send to her Senator, but came back as not deliverable. Just speak from your heart when you write. Be respectful, "Dear Senator, thank you for representing our state" And then tell your story so to speak, how things are effecting you. That bringing IT jobs (not just MT, but anything that contains our private information, credit card processing, debt collection, etc.) would not only deter the rampant increase in identity and medical identity theft, but would bring American jobs back to America, American MONEY back to America to be spent in America! Good luck to all
I know AMS (Applied Medical) has ER reports. However,
...not sure if they offer the money you are used to. I think pay depends on experience, but call them or e-mail them. You may be offered a different pay rate with your experince level.
Trying to help.:) Good luck.
Applied at a hospital for a clerk
20 years later, I'm an MT with three of my own accounts and IC for a company on-line.
I applied at the hospital and told them I had done transcription in high school for my medical secretary certificate, and the recruiter asked me if I'd like to work in Radiology as an MT. I said I wasn't very good at it and she said it pays $2.00 more an hour, and I said "Well then, let me give it a whirl!" I passed the typing test and have never looked back. I built up my knowledge by working for 17 years in a hospital in different departments. I went from Radiology to the Cath Lab to a diagnostics area.
I loved the challenge. The medical terms and stories interested me so much that I even wanted to be on the procedures so I could learn more. So, yes I wore lead and went in as an observer. If you ever want to gain experience, that is the best way! Be right there for the show! LOL
Anyone else to lazy to take tests..LOL. I applied for a job
but I swear when I opened up the testing and it was 6 reports including discharge summaries, right then and there, I just thought to my "NO way." I guess I just don't have the drive or energy to do testing for a job that takes a hour or more. Part of me realizes that they need this information, but the other part, just thinks it's ridiculous to expect people to spend so much time on a test. Trust me, most of the time, when you see one report, it's quite apparent if the person has any skills or not. Sooooo, I guess I'm lazy because I'm NOT doing this test. Anyone else get these feelings...Maybe I'll regret it and maybe not. Time will test because a lot of other people were sent the same test so I'll wait for their report LOL
Indian MT said he applied to co. with fake

Last summer I applied to 2 companies and sm
was offered positions at 9 and 9.5, which is basically what I asked; I think I indicated I wanted 10 but didn't push it because I was in the same boat as you. I have less experience than you but am a skilled transcriptionist. BTW, I accepted the lower one because it came with a good production bonus schedule that makes my actual pay routinely between 10 and 11 and a good platform that helps me achieve a pretty high line count.
I applied with them some time back.
I was interviewed and asked to test. The test recordings were so full of static and hard to hear that I decided the tests weren't worth the time or frustration. I sent the recruiter an email regarding the poor quality of the recordings and never heard another word from her. Has anyone else had the same experience with their test recordings?
I applied a couple of months ago
They are a not-so-small U.S. Company who only hire U.S. MTs and does not do offshoring!!!! They have different branches of the company that you apply to. The account I applied for was out of the Maine office. The recruiter was exceptionally nice. She told me that for each job posted, they get literally hundreds of resumes/applications so list your experience in detail - type of OP notes, type of experience in specialties, ER, Discharge, Ortho testing, neuro testing, etc., and even the type of equipment you have. The less questions they have to ask you - the better - so make sure it is all on your resume. That is what they are looking for. She interviews you, and perhaps others, and narrows it down before you go through a second phase of the interview process. I was not hired but they were certainly nice enough to e mail me and let me know. I was disappointed at the time but I do like the job I took elsehwere better than they one they were offering. Sorry I can't tell you more because I did not get very far, but they were very nice and respectful. I would apply there again.
Most often direct deposit into your account or a regular mailed check. nm
