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.
Took 3-4 wks. a few months ago to hear back after testing. I was already in a new job by then. nm

Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?
Will they get back to you?
ROFL! You waited eight months?
That's a long wait. Did you call or email them to follow up? It sounds like they hired someone else that didn't work out, then called you.
I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal.  What can I do about this.
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. 
About 8 months ago. The test is
EXTREMELY easy.  Problem is once you get hired the dictators are horrible and the QA is rude.  Once you have a rule down they send out 10 different emails from 10 different people changing the original rule but none of the emails are ever the same and you have to figure out what they're trying to tell you to do.  Communication is definitely not the best.  I left after about 3 months because I couldn't make any money at it and the constant rule changes were enough to drive anyone crazy. 
I just took the test and could not hear one word.

I just took the FN test, and e mail said I would hear
in a couple of days. Usually when I take these tests, the software lets me know how I did right away usually with a congratulations, you passed! The fact that it did not say that, is that standard for this company, or did I flunk the test? I just usually know right away how I did on these tests and am unsure of this company's hiring process. Thanks for any info. :)
I had to test for Keystrokes...have been there for 3 months...love it...

wow, i was never told about required textbooks, only that i could test in 6 months too.

Come back in 8 months and tell us how well you
nm
How many have filled applications out with what you make and test and never hear
anything back.  I wonder if you make a decent 10 cpl or something that is the end of hearing back from them thinking you want that much or more when you fill out the application. 
How soon after applying and taking test for Transtech to hear from them? Thanks.
nm
Did you hear back from LTS?

I did and completed the testing..got paperwork sent in but havent heard back


She said she would contact me back but never did. 4 months later, still nothing.

I did the same thing about 6 months ago but am back at sm
Keystrokes again FT. I don't think they are allowing PT (KS) anymore either, so might want to check that first. What type of work do you do?

It was a big mistake for me as it is an IC position. The so-called raise actually cost me more in the long run with taxes. I was making 0.11, which was actually less than the 0.09 that I have at Keystrokes when I counted everyone in.

Just be careful and make sure that you are doing the right thing. A friend of mine left Keystrokes and now they are not rehiring her even though she has been trying for three months! They finally told her to give it up, that she would never be eligible for rehire because of a few things, but she learned a hard lesson.
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!

WebMedX-wannabe
I don't think so. I got my test back from them but not from two others. I think it is becoming
common. I was embarrassed when I saw my test and made sure that the next one I took was better.

Why would you think it was Keystrokes? No one mentioned a company. I was thinking of an entirely different company. Just curious.
How long did it take to hear back from them?
After you sent a resume, how long did it take to hear back from them?
Anybody else waiting to hear back from

Thank you. Hopefully I'll hear back from them!

How long to hear back?
after from FutureNet or MDI-MD, anyone know what's usual?  TIA
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.
MTMTMTMTMTMT, did you ever hear back from them? nm

Anyone hear back from Milner

yet? 


Did anyone hear back from Medscribe out of NJ??
I applied, got an email back, and have tried to respond but my emails keep getting kicked back telling me that mailbox does not accept spam or something like that.  Has anyone else had this happen, or get hired on? The lady's name was Margaret....Thanks.
Anyone hear back from Archivus? nm

I remember the big stink a few months back

and what's her name from TRS got all huffy and said how they were just trying to teach a trade to these poor people so they could earn a decent living, that they weren't taking U.S. jobs away.  I don't know why they thought we were dumb enough that we wouldn't realize that it wouldn't do any good to teach them a trade if there was no way to practice their trade.  I too thought it took a lot of balls to advertise for the overseas person.


There were several companies that were supportive of this, I don't remember all of them, but Cymed was one of them.  


I saw some post from months back that they stated
they were very strict with the schedule.  the schedule you give them is the one you have to work.
Search the archives back for the few months.

There' s lots of info on SoftScript.  In my opinion, not a good place to work and I'm glad I didn't accept their offer.


Thanks - I sent my test back Friday
so hopefully I'll hear back by the end of next week. I'm really interested in doing clinic notes so I hoping I did well enough.
How long does it take to hear back after testing? TIA nm

How long after you applied did you hear back? nm Thanks

Takes a lot of time to hear back
I was job hunting in July and had the same experience, no responses. It took weeks to start hearing back, then the responses started coming in. I even got some responses 2 or 3 months after applying. It just seems to take a long time right now. You have to be very patient.
The company I work for went to VR a few months back. I was as terrified as you are. sm
It has been OK. I like doing the VR work, and my check is really no different than it was before the change. I do a lot more in terms of production in the same amount of time.

The downside is that the increased production, even though in the same timeframe, is taking its toll on me. It is stressful.

If you get an easy report that has very few edits, you will fly through it. If you get one that is full of errors, it will take you longer than typing it from scratch.

It's a catch-22 in that we really don't have a choice but the good news is that my pay has not suffered and my hands are not as tired.
I took over a week for them to get back to me, and I took a test over the phone, but that was SM
several years ago. Dont now about now.
So good to know! I took the test but have not heard back

I don't think I will take the job, but do you know if they even hire ICs?  Just so I know!  TXs


Did anyone hear back from MRC after applying from here or from the AAMT site? Not me. nm

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

Transform - Any1 hear back from them yet on their most recent ad?
I would LOVE to work for this company! 
I did finally hear back and did okay but I think I am done testing until I talk with someone about
what they are looking for.  I cant get the foot pedal to work with the voice so  it takes a lot of time to go back over and over the dictation.
I hear that Amphion is back on mandatory overtime again, so
they must have plenty of work if you can stand tons of emails.  For IC status, Advanced Transcription out of Oregon also seems to have plenty of work.
Anyone apply to recent CardioScribes ad and hear anything back? nm

Don't sweat it. Be glad you didn't hear back.

I was offered a job months back, but the contract said they docked for errors.
Not my cup of tea! I never was docked pay for making a med error as a nurse. I would not have accepted that kind of treatment. I'm human, for crying in the corn, not a machine.
I did apply, heard back, and took the first part of their test. nm

After testing for First Choice, can anyone tell me how long it takes to hear back? nm

Are you talking about the one with the 2 radiology jobs? I didn't hear back either...nm

Did any of us who left emails hear back from the MT who was highly recommending her
s
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.
