NO, but have tested 3 times with them and have NEVER heard back from them once...sm

Posted By: Sigh! on 2007-07-14
In Reply to: Testing with New England Medical Transcription - Just Passing Through

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!

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.
Anyone tested for Med-Tec Resources heard back from them yet? 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.
I tested a couple of years back; never heard anything...
I emailed them for update; still never heard anything.
Anyone tested and heard back from DTS America. How long was your wait? nm

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

I tested with them a few months back...sm
I don't recall having any equipment issues, however. You really should contact whoever your recruiter is and let them know before you proceed. I actually failed their transcription test by 1/2 a lousy point and I've been an MT for over 18 years!! They wouldn't tell me what I missed. I am getting ready to test with them again. All I've heard are positive things about this company.

I probably didn't help you very much, but know how frustrating it can be to post and have absolutely no resplies. From what I remember about their testing is that you aren't penalized for blanks, so don't take any chances with guessing. I would assume this works with their equipment as well.

Good luck to you! Keep us posted on how you do!

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 online but never heard from them..LOL..after 18 years (sm)
in the biz I guess I still don't know what I'm doing! 
Tested at e-trans 2 weeks ago also and never heard from them...nm

Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
Tested for DTS of America last week - have heard nothing yet. nmsg

I tested with MedGarde and haven't heard a thing...
and I thought I aced their test.  Anyone else have a similar experience?
Tested with TT last week. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to response back.
I need a job...yesterday... I've been applying like crazy but cannot find anything worth taking.  I'm getting pretty desperate but still not enough to take 3 cpl for VR but check back next week LOL
Has everyone heard back from Keystrokes yet regarding the email we received a while back?
Just wandering why I haven't heard any response yet.
I sent them an email back in August and never heard back sm
Is this company on Long Island? I checked out their website and even tried calling once. Were you successful in contacting them? All i know is that the company is owned by some doctors.

Hopefully, you will hear back. Unfortunately, I immediately heard back from MD-IT
but somehow with over 16 years of experience, I blew the test.  I was soooo disappoionted and yet pretty stunned.  I am by no means perfect but I haven't flunked a test in years.  I expected it in my early years but not this far down the road. I was so confident and they will not tell you which part you did not pass and why so it really just blew my mind.  I must have been in shock for like two hours after I got the email. Oh well, someone will want me....hopefully.  I was thinking about OSi but I don't think I could take another rejection if I never heard back. 
You can only kick a dog so many times before they bite back!

Have asked several times for a back up account.
I'm still waiting....
It is hard! They have been back to the table 3 times
where my husband is on strike and nothing still.  It is VERY hard, especially with children! I pray all works out perfect for your family and my family.  Hang in there
How many times have we heard that statement and then all just pile on top of each other . . .

no work/low work today.  Overstaffing, definitely. 


These companies hire in anticipation of a new account and possibly never even get the account.


Oops, sorry - I changed my name back three or four times but it didn't "take" nm

Never Heard Back
I sent a resume to Acetera, got a call back from a recruiter, who offered me a job and I accepted. They were supposed to get back to me regarding software, training, etc. and nothing at all.
Has anyone ever heard back from them? (sm)
Test is very difficult because of exceptionally poor audio quality. Try the 7-day Bytescribe free trial as ExpressScribe isn't good enough for these files.
I already heard back and was sent...sm

contract and such.  I was just wondering if anyone knew anything good/bad about them.


Here is what I do and have always heard back.
I send in resume and will get response to please take their test and return it to them. Instead, I reply back that I would be more than happy to test but do not want to waste their valuable time grading my test if it is going to turn out we are not a good fit for each other and would they mind answering a few questions first.  I then ask what is pay, is it hourly or cpl and if cpl how is line calculated. I ask if they have direct deposit and when would I get first check.  I don't ask a bunch of questions, just the ones that to me will determine first and foremost if this is a company I am interested in.  Have never not gotten answers to my questions and when I do get answers, if I am not interested, I send email thanking them for taking the time to answer but I don't think their company is what I am looking for and I am sure they will have no problem filling the position (even if I think there is no way in hell anyone in their right mind would work for them, lol.)
i heard back....

I heard back but only to ask me for my resume and that was on Thursday.  I have not heard back from them since.


With me, it was only a day before I heard back from them - SM
That was last February, though, and they have grown a lot and have gotten much busier since then. I don't think it would hurt at all to give them a call just to sort of touch base with them.
Heard back one day after
I applied via phone call.
I also heard back within a day or two... sm
It never hurts to contact them and verify they got your information.  Everyone I've dealt with there is very nice and never seemed bothered by or rude because of an inquiry.  Good luck!
Has anybody heard back from Oracle? sm

I accepted a position with Oracle about a week ago and faxed my paperwork to them but haven't heard back. They said they would be contacting me. Has anyone recently accepted a position with Oracle and heard back from them?


Thanks


I haven't heard back from them yet. (sm)
Does it seem to take a long time to hear back from them? I went to the website, filled that info. out and the test last week. Do they pay more than 9 cpl?
Have any of you heard back from PMSI? I'm also having a bit of a

If you haven't heard back from her she will
contact you. She is a sweetheart. She's just really busy right now. Try giving her another call or email. I am also employed by Transcribe it Quick.
I heard back immediately

 I got a one sentence email saying I didn't have enough experience. Must be pretty difficult work. I have been typing all work types for 19 years, especially psych and radiology..the two on the list. I have also done ESL in every job I have ever been employed. Oh well, asked her to keep my name in the barrell!


 


 


I heard back the next day. I wouldn't really

bother with them.   I thought that maybe they represented companies that might not post to the job boards and who might offer better than most jobs - like a headhunter.  After their testing they put me in touch with a company that regularly posts on the job boards and who currently have an ad running.  I had recently turned down an offer with this same company.  There was no difference in pay in what I was offered going through TM than I did going directly through the company.  TM said they could sometimes negotiate a higher rate, but it didn't happen.


I think the company is only 2 people and I don't think it is a FT job for either one of them - at least that is the impression I got.  Since they have a current ad maybe they have been swamped with resumes.


After you test with TM you still have to test again and if you don't get more $ you're better off applying to companies yourself and at least you won't have to go through an additional round of testing and interviews.


I don't know how long this post will last as in the past any post that doesn't portray them in a positive fashion gets deleted. 


 


I applied and heard back (sm)
They responded almost instantly with an e-mail that said to send a Yahoo IM (instant message) to their address. I e-mailed back that I did not have an IM account, and could we just discuss via e-mail, and then I never heard anything again. Really makes me wonder how legit they are...
I did the same questionnaire and never heard back either. nm
nm
I applied there and just heard back

I don't know a whole lot because I am waiting to start but pay is 9 cpl (even though the ads say 9-10) and they use ChartScript.  You also must be incorporated because they are only hiring for contract work at this time.  No set schedule.  Hope this helps a little.


Hi, heard back same day....this was for radiology,right?......nm
nm
I heard back from them the day I sent my resume in. sm
I have not received my paperwork yet, but will be starting to work for them on a part-time basis.  The work is all cardio -- mostly clinic notes, correspondence, echos, etc.  They seem to be a good company, but I guess they all do when they are hiring you.  We'll see .........
I sent a resume to them but never heard back.
nm
I heard back within 3 or 4 days...
and other than low pay, it is indeed a great place to work! They do give quarterly bonuses which helps a bit to cushion the 7 cpl (for clinic work). Good luck.
I heard back from her in 3 days
I tested and was asked to interview 3 days after my test. I accepted the position and then received my acceptance later 2 days later. If it's been 3 days, I would probably write and ask about the status of your application. She is pleasant and answered my emails in a very timely manner, which was nice.
Same here, I havent heard back yet. nm

I heard back the next day, but that was in October
Guess it just depends on the recruiter and how urgently they need MTs.
I did. Haven't heard anything back. You? 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?


Has anyone heard back from All American Transcription
