Mentor Program??

Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
Bayscribe also has a voice file program. They shipped me a wav pedal and headset not too long sm
ago, and I have noticed changes in the templates on a couple of my accounts, so I would say that soon more and more accounts will be done by wav files.  I probably still won't give up my unlimited LD, but it would be nice for traveling, not to have to lug my Cphone around and worry about LD costs.

How long to hear back
I received an email earlier today from the MDI-MD recruter and she had been out of the office due to a death in the family.
How long before I can expect to hear --sm
from them? It hasn't been that long, but I'm anxious to talk with the recruiter.

Any idea how long it takes to hear from All Type? sm

I've submitted my resume for their QA position, and I haven't heard anything back yet. I was wondering if this could be due to the convention in Boston, or is this just the new trend in the application process? I've also submitted my resume to other companies, and there have been quite a few who haven't given even a short reply.


I know it's not because of a lack of experience, because I've been doing MT for over 15 years and QA for over 5. Any ideas of a great place to send my resume?


Just applied with them. Patience, how long did it take for you to hear back from them?

I am intrested in mentoring too. If you find anything out please let me know too. I'm a newbie.

How do you know if you pay 300 or 400 dollars that you aren't going to get ripped off.
Why would an exp'd MT need a mentor? nm

Mentor
Some mentors are wonderful at helping you get started with their system, formatting, and account specifics. I wonder if others are provided to make you feel inferior and inadequate just to keep you down so you don't dare ask for just compensation. Some have ego problems, others are just plain sweet, helpful, people. There is conflict with some regarding the BOS. I use 3rd edition. If they go by 2nd, you have to play their game.
my mentor is the one who pointed it out
Although she does not know why there is a discrepancy in the lines. I did tell her that it does not marke inactive when I am listening to it, it is because I am not typing. In SR I synch up the cursor so it will sail along and after about 1 second it will be inactive even though I am in the report and listening to it.
Actually, I think you are referring to the Allstate ad for a mentor rather than
the sales position advertised by a David Bernard. I agree, the rate Allstate wants to pay a mentor is appalling. It's probably to mentor offshore MTs at that!
I suggest you ask for a mentor to help you through the rough spots.
I had trouble with the demog screens at first but I got a routine down and now they go very quickly for me.  My production is back up even higher than at my old company.  Good luck. 
If you are serious about the belittle part, report it. My mentor was soooo nice. (sm)
Report feedback very prompt and helpful, not demeaning in any way. Did the required number of reports to be monitored, got above the 98% and then received congratulation E-mails for doing so from my mentor and STM.

Good manners and friendly attitude are a BIG part of the company. If this person was truly rude or unhelpful, please let HR and/or your assigned STM know.


Does the MQ DQS program contain the ShortCuts program, or do I need to buy it? nm

DQS is not a "Medquist" program, it is a program used by MQ. (nm)

I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't. 
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!

I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.

I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.

I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
Hear, hear! (Or is it 'here, here?') LOL

Long, long history of not paying...and
similar posts have been made here in the past few months. Everyone thinks they will be different, and then they end up coming back here to warn others that they don't pay.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
I'll definitely check them out!
You can't program everything into ....sm

an expander (like you said)...and frankly I've found that on most dictators I do minimal editing of reports because the quality of the drafts is pretty darned good.  I usually receive at least a handful of reports a day that I maybe make 2 or 3 Keystrokes of corrections... yet I get paid for editing say 60 lines for the entire report, and move on to the next report.  I bet none of you "naysayers" will be fussing about getting paid for not doing more than reading when you actually do editing with a good VR program! 


 


What VR program do they use?
.
bad program?

I agree with low pay, top heavy management, but what is it about the program that makes it bad.  just looking for some exact insight unless you mean because of the way it pays out??  hope this doesn't sound stupid.


thanks.


What is NTI's program?
.
program
Yes you can download in batches of 5 but to complete one and go to the next i believe you have to be online or you get some funky error message.
Which IM program are they using?
Most of them have security features that you can change so that you may save conversations.

Or I would agree with the previous poster and use the print screen feature. You don't have to actually print anything, but use it to copy the conversation and paste it into Word.
AIM program
I was in the AIM program. Basically you work as an intern and do real work from real doctors with a Turn Around Time that has to be met just like if you had a job. You just don't get paid. I liked Deb. She was a nice lady. I stayed in the AIM program for 6 months and got a job before I even finished it.
You don't say what program you were using or what
foot pedal.  You may have a foot pedal that wasn't compatible with your program or you needed to download drivers. 
SUM program
Maybe buy this program and work through it on your own?

prn program?
Haven't heard about this. When did this happen, only for some accounts or what, do you know? TIA!
Not from CNS, but another EMR program.
NextGen
I am not sure about the program
I don't time myself by the hour. I would usually do about 2000 lines during my shift. I only did about 1700 of speech lines and 225 of regular today. I get up and down a lot during my shift, so lose some time there, but I have always done that. What exactly do you mean by hot keys? TT pays slightly more than that, about 1/2 of my regular line rate. I get to the end of my shift and cannot believe my line count is so low.
