I applied there, took their test and have not heard anything. I guess I failed. nm

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 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............
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.
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.
I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago.  Depends on current recruiters, I guess. 
One word for them..UNPROFESSIONAL. I applied and immediately tested
as they were in a big hurry to have someone hired so I dropped everything, tested, and then NOTHING.. I emailed numerous times asking if they had received my test but they could not even respond to that. The testing was easy and so I just could never figure out why they could not at least say they hired someone else or whatever the reason. I just find them extremely unprofessional (initials KB) if I remember right. I would never work for someone so unorganized anyway.
I tested 2 days ago and had no problem downloading the files.
I opened up my ExpressScribe.  Right click on the file, and save target as, save to your desktop. This will put a test file on your computer that says Hospital Test or something like that.  Then click on it and it wil open up with the zipped files.  Highlight the file, and to the left (in windows XP) you will see an option to unzip file.  Click it and it will unzip and put the unzipped file on your desktop.  Start ExpressScribe and load the wave file. No problem,
I've heard only positive things about them. So, I applied, but haven't heard a word. Maybe fl

I tested and passed Med-Tech, interviewed and was told they had opening- but I guess

I made the mistake of typing the name IC as "individual" contractor, and the recruiter e-mailed me back with the corrected "independent" contractor, and later sent an e-mail and said they were not hiring and that if anything should become available, they would contact me.  I have since found that they have hired since that time, but no one ever contacted me again.  I figure it was "their loss", not bragging or boasting, but I know I would have been an asset to the company.  IMO


They seem to be a pretty together company though.  I occasionally go to their website and read their quarterly "whatever you call it," and they always have interesting information in their for transcriptionists, and about the company, and the QA standards and goals.   I would love to have worked there.   I hear they have good benefits too.


 


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
nm
Now I wish they would just call me back......no word no word and
What is up with these MT companies that advertise. They don't even answer. I have a great resume, tons of experience. I'm confused.
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. 
My guess is you would miss the word sm
companys if it came out of SR, right?
Thanks, I guess I will wait a few more days. nm

Whats the word on Deventure (DVHP) these days?
Prefer current or recent employee experiences. Archives seem to be a mix of good and bad, but nothing recent.
It took them 2 to 3 days to get back to me after
testing.  I never interviewed, just submitted the test and they e-mailed me with an offer.   The testing goes through QA, so if there are doing another hiring blitz there may be a backlog.   I knew I had done well on the testing and really thought I'd hear from the sooner, but was told testing was hung-up in QA. 
I think it's because back in the old days, when -
this was considered a 'good' job, many of us (myself included) felt we didn't NEED a union. Now, looking back, I think that if we'd had one back when things were better, our profession wouldn't be in the sorry state it's in today.

The other reason is that for the most part, the average MT is usually less of a 'joiner' than lots of folks, and harder to convince they need a union. Also, since MTs are usually women, employers have found us easy to belittle, intimidate, and insult with puny, ever-shrinking wages.

I'm sure most of us, back when few of us had our own PCs, were being told constantly by our employers that we were 'lucky to have a job at all' - (remember that little speech?) I'm sure you all heard it at one time or another.

We are usually isolated, as well - either at home or cloistered away in an area away from the main part of the hospital, or even sometimes completely offsite. That isolation makes it even easier for employers to feed us all the bull they've been feeding us for so many years, all the while sending our work offshore to make even more of a profit, and then patting each other on the back for cutting our wages and our benefits.

Now that we have the Internet, with all its information, and MT forums like this one, I think we should use this powerful tool to unite and start to speak as one large, powerful group, instead of lots of insignificant individuals. In that way, we just might be able to draw public and political attention to what's been going on.

The healthcare industry is ALREADY under a lot of scrutiny lately for lots of OTHER shady goings-on that it's been involved with. The whole MT mess, with poor-quality records being produced for the sake of profit, private personal records going to god-knows-where, etc., needs to be brought to the attention of all those who are lobbying against the healthcare industry's practices up on Capitol Hill.
Never heard a word from anybody. It was
If I send it out myself and respond to ads, I got offers immediately.
They got back with me within a couple of days. nm

It took about 10 days after testing for them to get back to me. nm

I was off QA in 2 days, have never had a report sent back to me....
have worked for this company for 2 years and have been an MT for 6 years. Before that, maybe a handful of reports sent back in the previous 4 years.
I want the old days of transcription back!
Thanks for the rely.

In my 30 years of transcription, 28 of them I have loved,I was proud to be an MT even with the addition of ASR -- I can't say I really like it, but you know you grow and learn with the times and sometimes its for the better. Sorry to say, though, I am sad to see so many unhappy MTs now. Our jobs are now based on line counts and perfections of comas, etc, and not necessarily the integrity of the report that you will be paid for, or for that matter the difficulty of the doctor.

I always felt that transcription could see me into my golden years, and my knowledge that I have required through those years would better any company I might work for. I am sad to say that transcription is now just money, like the rest of big business and the integrity of MTs is at stake. I am so sad for my career which I thought I never would be. I don't want to leave this field but I have been nitpicked to death, moved to practically every region and hospital in the US (lost count after 100) and cheated out of a decent wage long enough. The last two years I have put up with hoping it would get better and it hasn't. Looking at other companies and they seem to all be the same, greed and money is what motivates then and nothing trickles down to the MT. These big companies, like MQ, have not yet realized the terrible mistake they have made and when they do all the good, old loyal ones will be gone. They have forgotten who makes the revenue for their company. It is the MT. If we are not typing, there would be no QAing, no Leader, no nothing.

Sorry, to go off but my last straw has been broken.
haven't heard a word
I accepted a position with Allegiant, was suppose to start yesterday, but haven't heard a word...............I getting tired of the transcription, business.
Applied too and never heard a word.. sm

Have you ever heard the word STAT?
STAT radiology reports, STAT H&Ps, STAT transfer summaries, STAT laboratory results, etc., etc.


Never heard of it, my contract says 10 days.

I got mine back in maybe 2 days. They've been
running an ad so may be swamped.  I didn't take the position because I found out they offshore and what the recruiter told me and the team leader told me were 2 totally different things about the account they wanted me to work on. 
If you are going to get it back to them in 2 days, you should charge BIG buck. But from what I

Back in the days of YOG FN didn't have a good
name either.  Your post shows just how unprofessional FN is and surely does not entice anyone to apply with your company.  Even if what the person posted is not true, you could have chosen to take the high road, but instead you took the low road. 
look back a few days.. LONG post about this
