There is also a list of "difficult" recruiters!
Posted By: Boy! on 2007-10-02
In Reply to: This "list" you speak of is really unfair though (sm) - Annon this time
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.

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.
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!
I think most recruiters are NOT MTs. They know very little about MT from what I've found. nm
x
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 been told by recruiters and HR people that
they've never met anyone who scored 100% before. I did! Poor little uneducated lifeguard me. No little MT certificate. Oh, no!
medical abbreviation list and medical drug list
Hi,
Anyone there who could help me out finding the latest abbreviations list.
I even want the latest drug list because my current program does not have many drugs.
So if anyone could suggest anything which is available online for informationd quick look purposes.
any help for medical abbreviation list and medical drug list would be very helpful.
not me. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm on the list...sm
his parents are elderly and are quite good at being graciously demanding. As soon as he walks in the door at 4:00 p.m., the phone is ringing wondering when he will be over to shovel the snow off of their walk - and they don't even leave the house. I definitely feel he puts his parents before me. Like the line "I knew it was over when...", when for our 25th anniversary, he gave me a $2.99 bouquet the night before and then planned to go to his mom's for dinner the night of. Not divorced, can't quite get to that but have the same fantasies of running away and boy, then would he be sorry  . Breaks my heart to hear people calling each other soulmates as I believe I will never have that.
It's pn my wish list too,
but the one I tried out in the store had so many hard spots in it, I don't think it would be very comfortable to sit in all day.
wish list
I wish to find a company that:
Goes by lines/production and lets me have a window (12 or 24 hrs)instead of keeping a timecard.
Does not use a platform!! Maybe just has an FTP site or something, download the voice, then upload the jobs when done.
Not constantly IM'ing me!
this list
Would love to see a copy of this as well. Thanks.
I won't list them all but -
my hubby absolutely cracks me up. He has a wonderful sense of humor and makes me laugh everyday (even on those "bad" days). He tells me daily that he loves me or asks me "Do you know how much I love you?" He is the only man I have ever been in love with AND trusted. 
here's my list sm
Survivor
Amazing Race
Desperate Housewives
Grey's Anatomy
Lost
Invasion
Medium
Switch with ER and Without a trace
Criminal minds
I have no life.
if there's more than 1 med, I'd list...
Here's the list....sm
Dogs: Shaina, Tiger & Taffy
Cats: Pearl, Ribbon, Samson, Ember & Hollow
Rabbit: Bonnie
Goldfish: Barbie
YES, we have a lot of pets! I had 1 dog, 1 cat, 1 bunny and the goldfish and when we got married last month my husband had the 4 cats and 2 dogs... so now we have a full house for sure!!!
No GAB on my list either
How do I get the GAB on my list?
here is a list of what i did
Completely and totally uninstall ANY remant you have of the program. Then try a reinstall. If that does not work, I would suggest calling Stedmans...they may have a patch. I didn't get a new dictionary until the 2007 version so there may be something in there that they can give you to solve the issue.
when I do that, I have to do it for each list, is there a way...
to make it stay that way all of the time?
the list so far
OK- so far I have pixked up from the responses the following. I have not been able to process them fully to determine if a full course is needed as of yet.
1- need to learn format- Would this be similar to writing up charts? Or do MTs have their own format in which they follow? We learned many different ways (or formats) to write up charts in school- and had the freedom to choose which worked best for us individually in our practice. A specific MT format would be something to learn in a class if they have one of their own. I've written my own charts for many years, so if it is similar to that- then I should pick it up quick.
2- need to develop or experiment with hand -eye- listening skill for pedal/typing/translating - I have very good hand eye coordination from being a dentist and performing procedures. And type fairly fast. I suppose I could figure out how to try out the devices before determining if it was something I wanted to do.
3- need to listen to some actual tapes- good idea. I am sure they are unlike the tapes of lectures that I transcribed in Dental School. I have watched my ENT mumble into his recorder in amazement many a time.
4- might be dissapointed in the difference in pay- definately something I already had considered. I am not looking for the same compensation. I don't expect it. I still have an office to go back to when I am ready - and do locum tennans here and there. I have no idea what an MT makes. What do they make?
Thanks- Susan

Try this site:

It lists companies by state with web sites and contacts. This is how I found the job I have now. Good luck and best wishes.
Ok, here's my list......
1. Coffee

3. Quiet
4. Burt's Bee's lip balm.
5. Hand lotion
6. My desk/chair/keyboard all adjusted just right.

I think that covers it!!

and a slew of special procedures (invasive) such as:

biopsies
to name a few.
Thanks, but I have that list.
I have to follow the BOS 3rd edition for my company so I can't ignore it (unfortunately). I seem to have a lot of trouble finding what I need quickly in that book. I guess my brain is not organized in the same manner. Every time I read it I find something new.
As far as I know, there is not any list --sm
that can be imported into AutoText. You have to enter manually.
We can only use the list they provide
Hard to find when you're not sure what the name is even starting with. Even with a data base of 1,000 physicians, it's constant searching. I use the search option and try to search for just one tiny part of the name I can understands, but it takes forever!
I found the list. If anyone else is looking sm.
Go to CNN.com homepage, click on the story about family looking for missing loved ones. On the top of that story page there is a link called "Safe List." That lists the names of everyone that has reported in as being safe.
Unfortunately, Andre Pouliot from Biloxi, Mississippi is not on that list. That is who we are looking for.
Thank you again. We'll keep looking.
OTI should be on the good list too.
If you like flexible hours, decent accounts, no harassment from the office but plenty of good tech support, and IC status so you work your own schedule. If that's what you're looking for, OTI is a great place to work.
drug list
Does anyone know of a site to download/print a drug list (quarterly drug index)? The one I have is old and the IDI I have is from 1999.
You just put yourself on the list with Walmart (sm)
You really just listed yourself in a class of people that don't deserve much credit either. You are upset with Target because they don't support the military...however shortly thereafter you made it clear of your feelings about gays and lesbians. Have you ever stopped to think about how many of those young men and women over there in harms way every moment of their life are gay? Or do you only "recognize" the heterosexual soldiers? Gotta love a hypocrite that bashes someone else for categorizing people...yet fail to see how they manage to lodge their own foot in their mouth in the process.
Wal Mart on my poo list
I went to Wal Mart as I always do. I wanted the laptop for $386. I work two jobs and really wanted to be able to remove myself from my desk to do personal stuff wherever or do my coding job away while watching tv. They only had 25 of them. I was like 35 in line. I cannot believe that is all they got in. Then I went to get the PS2 Burnout 3 game (I needed two copies) and the Scooby Doo double pack for Gameboy. They did not get extra ones in even though they advertised them for $8. They had what was in the case only, which was one of each. Oh boy how stupid. Then I got a few things like jammie bottoms and a remote control hummer for my son and the lines were awful. They were handing out these VCR/DVD combos that were not the right ones so people were MAD.
drug list
Yeah, RXList is a good one. I also like www.drugdigest.com.
See the lonnnnggggg list:
$875.00 for mortage - $289.00 for health insurance - $508 for car payment - $68 for monthly car insurance - $220 for Electric/Gas - $155 for telephone - $39 for cell phone - $900 plus for CC payments - I guess that's enough, eh? We spend about $500 for groceries and another $300 for cigs/booze/wine - about $300.00 for going out to eat (we're home bodies). I sock away $337.00/month in my IRA and then skim 10 percent off the top of our earnings and throw in savings/CD - we spend a little extra on renting movies/books, etc.
I can't believe it costs SO MUCH to live these days!!
Anyone know where I can get a list of new drugs
nm
List of abbreviations
Yes, they are quite certain how wonderful that "dangerous abbreviations" list is, but don't kid yourself. There are quite a few physicians out there/facilities who don't care for the list and want abbreviations (and dictate them too) the former way; --- q.i.d., q.o.d., t.i.w., q. week, q. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, etc. Shall I go on? I know because I've transcribed from physicians dictating just this way. The docs want it THEIR WAY. Get over yourself.
call list
We began getting sales calls again, so my husband went back and resubmitted the information. We haven't gotten any since. It might be something you have to do annually. I don't know. It can't hurt to try though.
Are you on the Do Not Call LIst? sm
not saying this is the case, but a lot of times these calls are initiated by a computer. the computer calls, you answer, but there's no operator on the computer end to finish the call. I signed up for the do not call list when it first came up. The silence was wonderful. Then I moved - very irritating indeed! I'm back on it and back to silence!
What do you mean IT makes a list for you?
How do you get it to do this?
Schindler's List - now that was a .....nm
There is a whole list of these types
of things I got through my MT training classes. To make the ' over the e in debride, you would do Alt + 233 on your number pad. Let me know if it works. good luck.
Make a list
Make a list of what you love about him and what you hate and see which list is bigger. You haven't mentioned a single reason for staying with this person. Sometimes it's hard to make a break, but think ahead to days without stress and arguing.
No -- I have a list of over 1000 new ones
--that's just the new ones, not counting the 2nd and 3rd year residents. Too many new names.
Thanks, all of you. I am making a list.
I have a discount code for Stedman's from a comapny I tested for so I guess I'll go for it. 30% off doesn't hurt.
Fix your resume to fit the job. I do not list
Never had a problem. Most places are in a hurry to get you started and don't check. My jobs have been 4+ years (or at least that's what my resume says). They won't check with the competition.
