    Do you think all the headers and footers aren't getting counted? Lots of places aren't giving
    s
    who think they are qualified because they
    were nurses, medical assistants or just have kids who are sick all the time and know all the medical/lab terms! Deliver me!
    I am not qualified to
    set a rate of pay for an MT who does try to do the job properly. I can tell you this, that googling words should only be used to verify and existence of that word. You should then check a medical dictionary or website for proper spelling, pl., singular, etc.  I have not been doing this for long, but I am determined to become good at it. I spend a great deal of time to research a word only to be frustrated when I can not find it. The positive is that where I am employed I do receive feedback. Sometimes it takes a day or so; but, when I receive it I read it all the way through, make notes, file it away for future reference all on my own dime. 
    maybe you are over-qualified!!??

    consider yourself over-qualified, and
    lucky that you didn't end up working for them! It may have been a blessing in disguise!! act like a duck, and let it slide off :)
    You wouldn't be a qualified IC if they did.

    my qualified opinion

    is the *conspiracy* theories regarding other companies is much more far-fetched than the simple fact that not everyone had a good experience at KS.  Allow others to state to their experience without feeling  personally attacked - it is part of being an adult - the world is not defined by you and your *feelings* - tears and hysterics aside.


     


    and is qualified for not much more than being a greeter at Walmart

    MTSOs, on a scale of 1 to 10, how qualified are
    I'm just wondering if you are able to hire most of the people who are applying, or if there are a lot of underqualified MTs out there. 
    I am QUALIFIED to make my statements because....

    I worked with these people for years and saw how they treat others.   It means absolutely nothing to people in the managment of SPI to fire people or lay them off or just take your work and send it to India or Manila.   Don't think for one second that your job is safe.    They are all about numbers...Its a numbers game...meaning revenues.


    The Philippine Telecommunication company did not get to be a company worth over $100 billion US dollars  by paying labor to US employees.   They know that by taking US jobs and sending them to India or Manila will increase their profit margins 25-35% minimally.    Don't think for one second they will not do this.  


    The Indian companies are much better than they were.   The Manila location has finally gotten it right.   They will be able to transition your jobs smoothly without compromising quality or TAT.   THAT'S FRIGHTENING TO SAY BUT TRUE!


    They have also geared themselves with the strongest voice recognition product on the market.   


    So, let's take a look at the overall picture:


    1.   People resources available offshore.  YES...thousands.


    2.   Ability to transition and carry out smoothly.....YES


    3.   Voice recognition geared to take over.....YES


    4.   Qualified editors in Manila........YES


    5.   Production MTs in India......YES


    6.   Large hospital organizations not afraid to offshore......YES


    I dont know guys....what else does it take to paint the picture for you.    You are all smart people....figure it out!    


    Because they don't hire qualified ACs in the first place
    They try to promote their friends/relatives and when they find out they don't have real management skills they replace them with another friend/relative.
    I have a nice one too, but qualified for it 4 years ago when I did well as an MT at a hospital.
    each and every month. I have invested so much in this car, I don't see how I can give it up... lots of working with the lender, etc. They don't understand about outsourcing hospitals and services, they don't understand about not making rent or car payment. They only care about breaking legs if you don't make a payment. So I keep in close touch with them. This way, I have my leg available for the foot pedal, so when I do have work, I can to pay the bill.
    Maybe in your case. As for me, I have many years acute care and am well qualified.

    The payroll dept isn't exactly qualified. There's no accountant on staff. sm
    I wish they would just let ADP or something similar handle it. So many things are incorrect so often, taxes, PTO pay missing, etc.
    Keystrokes - How do they notify you if you qualified for vacation time? Thanks! nm

    Gosh.. really a "former" insurance clerk. I cannot believe you qualified for such a honored po
    Wow, an insurance clerk. What kind of education do you need for that. I feel your best suited for a position that would include working as the spelling police. Some people.. You should get a life!
    There are so many hits on the job board for jobs that I wonder if people are qualified that respond
    or just send in a resume if they are not.  Would be interesting to hear from some of these companies what type of response they are getting. 
    You aren't the only one, believe me. NM

    Aren't they the ones who are
    supposedly looking into buying Heartland?
    aren't they all going to be
    under regional supervisors within a year??? If you can get yourself under the northeast regional supervisor, do it. She's great.
    Oh MY aren't you a gas
    Why would you care. Bitter? I got a great job by not being hired by them with innumerable benefits and assigned to a nice a/c with great potential.

    Don't get my way - do you mean expecting to be paid on time is being bitter and spoiled? What planet do you come from? LOL

    And yes SD is said - it's not my fault they auto cap it - boy do you have issues!!!! sd is standard shorthand for said my friend. can't imagine even noticing something like that.
    Uh, no. They aren't doing that

    The letter I received a few months ago when I cancelled my membership said something quite different.  It had nothing to do with keeping the jobs US based.  It was all about quality healthcare documentation which is important; don't get me wrong there.  However, there was NOTHING in there stating anything about keeping this work here at all.  Instead it was all about the global marketplace and a cop-out.


    I personally feel that the bulk of the healthcare industry knows cheaper doesn't necessarily mean better or even close to what is expected.  I don't think all of the jobs are going to disappear.


    I have written, called and probably annoyed my senator and any other government official in my state about outsourcing private healthcare information.  India, for example, does not have stringent laws about private information like we do. 


    We do have a personal responsibility though.  I have brought this up on other boards, but we need to ask our healthcare providers if their back office is handled here.  If not, choose another provider if possible.  Of course avoiding purchase of everything that comes from somewhere else is virtually impossible, but there are lots of other things.  This may also sound mean, but if I get on the phone with customer service somewhere and realize the person I am speaking with is offshore, I have my call transferred.  Nothing against the person, but I am not discussing my personal account information with someone who is not 100% required by law to protect that information.  Period.  If enough people take the intiative (not saying in this particular way), the gov't and other organizations won't have a choice but to listen. 


    Outsourcing globally is not the trend right now.  I really think pulling together can stop it from becoming so.


    Aren't they like about $40,000 ???
    My car's OLD - only kind I can afford.
    And just because you aren't a fan sm
    doesn't mean it is a bad company for everyone.
    Aren't we all?
    nm
    Now I know you aren't exp'd - there is SM
    no earthy reason to BUY A PDR to look up drugs.  Caught again.
    They aren't even in the US - ya think?? *-D) nm

    You REALLY ARE NEW aren't you?

    Snort...  How naive. 


    Look, the really sad thing is that work has really picked up at TT and if whomever the fool is that decided to file this lawsuit had just waited a bit, things on MT Stars would have died down.  Have you seen any negative postings about TT recently?  No, because there is WORK!! 


    If you let your anger rule your head, you will show yourself for the fool that you are. 


    Sad, truly sad.... 


    Obviously, you aren't one of them...
    If you had the slightest legal knowledge, you would know that any person can file a lawsuit against anyone -- the claims don't have to be true. Again, enjoy your Law 101 class.
    APPLY ...
    1) Explain what you need in schedule; I'm sure you'll get it.

    2) IF it is brought up, explain. I'm sure you'll be fine with that!


    why don't YOU apply with OSI?
    nm
    Please don't apply because ...sm
    you can't even spell why ruin a good thing for the rest of us?   As far as ads being posted well duh - the company is growing with large accounts being added continuously.  Nothing wrong with new business!!! 
    I would apply for another job
    One that gets good comments AND takes out taxes :-)

    BTW, that's what I did and start the first of the year, couldn't be happier!
    Don't apply there then, what can I tell you.
    xx
    Again if that is so, why would you need to apply at DSG?
    You come on here knocking them down for not responding to your holey (misspelled on purpose) self.
    Why do I need to apply? No, I don't need
    for any amount of money.
    Please - where did you apply?
    Please, where did you apply?  Yes, I do have a letter of recommendation from her.  I've got 3 kids to support on my own, and I feel so discouraged. 
    How do I apply?
    Do they have a website? Thanks!
    MW MTS, apply to
    TransTech..they are growing and wonderful to work for, and do not outsource to India. 
    Does that apply to ICs too?
    nm
    Thanks! I will apply and see what happens. NM

    Did you apply for the
    prn ad?
    Apply at TT
    with TT112
    I always look, never apply.

    But there are still a lot of hits and I imagine a lot of serious lookers from the posts here.


    So how do you apply at MDI?
    I visited their website but saw no place to apply. How do I go about doing this?
    Did anyone apply for the job (sm)

    Did anyone apply for the job that was on the job seeker's board with CLK transcription, the nonmedical transcriptionist?  If so, just wondering if anyone has heard back from them.  I sent my resume in, but have not heard anything yet. 


    thanks in advance!


    Where did you apply? sm
    Do you just send cover letter/resume through contact information. There is no actual place to apply at on the web site. Thanks!
    How do you apply?
    How do you apply to MDI-MD? I didn't see a link on their site.
    All you can do is apply and see what happens!!!
    nm
    Why not apply for both and see what happens?
     
    How to apply at MDI-MD
    Can anyone tell me how I go about submitting an application/resume with MDI-MD? They don't seem to have a link on their website, unless I have the wrong one! Thanks very much.
