I tested a couple of years back; never heard anything...
I emailed them for update; still never heard anything.
About 1-1/2 years ago I tested, aced it, heard back, only to be told with....sm
28 years of experience, formal college education, experience in all areas, all work types, etc., that I would be started at 6cpl, then if I got off probation at around 3 months, I could make 6.5 cpl, and then another six months later perhaps 7cpl. Set hours, you can guess, I passed this one over very QUICKLY, and also informed them nicely that if they wanted truly good, top-notch, first-rate MTs (as their ads say), then they really have to come up with a few more CPL, that what they were offering for someone with a perfect score and all the experience was actually an insult. They nicely said okay, let us know if you change your mind. Yea, right............
I tested them and haven't heard anything...
It has been almost 3 weeks. I have already signed up with another company. I hope they get back to you. I keep thinking maybe I failed the test, but know I couldn't have because I used the Dorland's to be sure I was answering everything correctly. Good luck.
I tested and heard back once
I tested for them, heard back and they asked me to finish taking another part, which was clinic, as I did so well with their acute care, and then never heard another thing back. Very weird to say the least.
NO, but have tested 3 times with them and have NEVER heard back from them once...sm
Even though I know I passed with flying colors.  Just seen another job post for them, so I sent in another resume mentioning the fact that I have already tested 3 times and have never heard back.  She asked me if I still had my test and to re-send it to her.  Well, it had been so long AGAIN that I had already deleted it but told her I would yet once again be willing to take the test over AGAIN and I have never heard back from them AGAIN!  I have 10 years experience and they always contact me when I send the resume, but then nothing.  I have taken many tests and I always pass so I am 100% sure that not passing the test is not the case.  Just thought I would warn you.  This is absolutely rude and unprofessional to behave this way.  Good luck!
Anyone tested for Med-Tec Resources heard back from them yet? nm

Tested at e-trans 2 weeks ago also and never heard from them...nm
nm
Tested last week, have not heard back either.

Has anyone tested with MedScribe for those ER positions heard back? sm
I tested last week - thought I would hear by now.  I'm thinking they already filled the positions.
Tested for DTS of America last week - have heard nothing yet. nmsg
xx
I tested with MedGarde and haven't heard a thing...
and I thought I aced their test.  Anyone else have a similar experience?
Anyone tested and heard back from DTS America. How long was your wait? nm

Tested there 10 days ago and never heard a word back..guess I failed! nm

I tested and did not pass and tested again 6 months later and passed. I think that more and more s
companies are testing MTs for various reasons.

You say that you work for them and keep posting. Why do you stay if you are so unhappy? I love my account and lead but it seems that you do not like being at KS at all.

Different strokes for different folks. Why continuously post compaints without doing anything about it?


Yes, I have heard of same for years, too.
I don't think that will ever happen either.  Its similar to systems being used now, EMR, etc.  I just don't think that all patient care will ever be able to be just a canned push button here and there program. I know those involved, as in AAMT, want that more than we can imagine, but I don't think it will work at all in the long run.  I still believe 100% that our industry will be around forever, and I also have a bit of hope that we may actually seen a lot of improvement in the future. We have to pull together, though, and make that change happen, somehow.  When I was younger and was transcribing as the kids were toddling around, I had no time for thought. Just work and keeping the kids alive! LOL. I also believe in this industry enough that my kids are MTs as well, and making wages nearly the same as mine! How's that for odd!  But now that I am older and wiser - Ha - I am willing and able to invest my time on work and trying to improve our industry.  I have yet to write to the Union folks.  But I am willing to get involved and take the time to try to help us. We all deserve it. I'm doing it for my kids, and if that's what it took me to get me mad, then so be it!!  Bring it on, CEOs. LOL.  I have to go now.  I have to start work in 10 minutes, and I need my coffee. 
Haven't heard of them in my 25 years as an MT.
Try a Google search and see what you come up with.
I have been an IC for 15 years, and I have never heard such a thing.
How would the IRS know what my schedule is or was. I just submit 1099's with income, take my write-off's, and pay my self employment tax. No where do I submit my scheduled hours or am I asked when filing my return.

Never heard of them. I've been in the industry 30 years.
g
I think they're new. Haven't heard of them in all my years of doing MT. nm
s
? wow, I've been here 8+years and never ONCE heard it. Wish i knew who your sm
STM was but we can't name names here.
I also heard that 10 years ago when I graduated from my school - sm
I heard back then that the owner really jerks people around.  I have worked for a company out of my state since graduation.  That is all I know.  Maybe someone else will have some recent info.
Years ago I heard a quote I loved:

Second marriage is the triumph of optimism over experience. 


That's sort of how I look at trying to make a go of it with Transcend, having been front row center at the fall of several very pleasant small companies that were gobbled up by mega MTSOs.  And I KNOW that if I give in, they will definitely not respect me in the morning. 


I live in NY and sent resumes twice over the years. Never heard back. nm
s
20 years, never heard of a raise in production outside of payscale...
and we all know those went down due to supply and demand no longer in our favor.
Puleeze! I heard that monthly for 2 years. I will believe it when I can count lines on it. nm
:+
I've sent resumes twice over the years and never heard back. Have experience, too. nm
s
I've been working weekends for 7 years and haven't heard of this.
dd
webmedix- I have 25 years exp., was offered low rate of pay. Heard it is a good company. nm
nm
I havent heard a word about an incentive and I have worked there almost 2 years so I guess I didnt
qualify for whatever status you needed to get an incentive. Is this something you get every pay period if you meet a quota or just something quarterly. Just curious.
that's why I went with online
I had the same situation. Was being paid about $14.5 w/nighttime differential. Myself and 2 other MTs in the hospital did all the work (out of about 6 total) and were paid the lowest. When they hired someone who supposedly had a lot of experience that did not know basic rad terminology (and I mean this was REAL bad) and typed no more than 12 simple chest/bone reports in a 5-hr day and wouldn't fire her, I quit.

Best move I ever made. Went COBRA for 18 mos. Would never go back. They called about 6 mos later asking if I cd prn (they were 700 reports behind with the 2 other top MTs out) & I told them $20/hr and they wouldn't do it - so no go for me.
on their online app, it says they don't have PT.

where is the online EC
nm
They have ads online, just none on here.
They have ads out all over the internet saying they are hiring, just none on here and I applied.  They offered me the position the day after I applied and I got suspicious after I realized they didn't even require me to take any sort of test or anything.  I hate that they sent me the equipment BEFORE they gave me this info, but I am going to mail it right back to them, it sounds too shady to me as well.
Well I tried looking online for information
but there was none of any help. I think that is a sign to decline the offer.
This is for online work...
maybe you have a backlog on C-phone work, but always a shortage with online.
OK- I didn't know they had online AND
C-Phone work.  I may still apply....
Thanks...I went online and applied. nm

Online testing
Does anyone else have a problem with online testing for a company, in response to an ad on the job board, before even speaking with a recruiter or person from the company?  The ad gives no indication of pay or the shift they are hiring for - do I spend time taking a test and then find out the hours I need are not available?  Do I spend time taking a test, then find out the pay is so low and the insurance so high that I would not have applied, had I known this before hand?  Does it feel kind of impersonal to take a test without even having had contact with a person?  Do you  spend time taking the test and hope the hours are what you want or do you just ignore this job posting?
Applying online....
On www.mditrans.net there is a link on the left that says apply online. I don't think there is a link to apply online at the other site, just email/phone numbers if you wish to contact them.
ascripts online

Has anyone heard of them? Thanks for the info.

MTEC


 


thanks, I did the online application for TT
hope to hear from them soon.
Not at online companies.

The ads tell all.  They all pay between 7 and 9 cpl.  Some will pay 10, but I would say they are probably ESL accounts that they can't find anyone to do.


Again: Nowadays this is done ONLINE...sm
What is going on on this boards?

Is this some kind of advertising campaign to buy

BOOKS

for doing MTing?

MTs are pressured to use hot keys (shortcuts) instead of the mouse ,, and not to take one's fingers off the keyboard, especialy when doing VR.

Why should I go and look into my books, wasting all that time?


one can look up these 'slangs' online,
does not mean one is a user.
8-9 cpl for online MTSOs and
with no middle man. 
I've been a QA 15 years and I've never heard
of any company only paying for the actual Keystrokes of the blank. You would literally make less than minimum wage that way. Waaay less.
apply online at medquist
statutory requires no minimum
Medscribe Online....any info?
Just trying to see if this company is legit or not.  Do they pay on time?  Thank you.
Anyone take the online Medware test?

usually, for the online tests, you can download...
the voice file into a file on your computer, then download into Express Scribe player (free online), so you can use your foot pedal instead of the keyboard.
