deal is.  If you need $$ now waiting until 9/1 isn't helping and my the time you go through interviews/testing with other companies it will be about 9/1.  They are hiring lots of people and I'm sure things are chaotic and you might fall through the cracks.

Call me tomorrow
Hello,
Usually it takes about two weeks allowing for an MT to give notice, our equipment to be shipped out, and you to be trained on the platform. Please call me at the office tomorrow if you are available immediately and I'll see if we can "rush it up". Please call 1-800-205-7047 and just say you all calling concerning the MT ad and ask for me (Liz). Looking foward to talking to you.

Thanks,
Liz
I think we should ALL CALL OFF TOMORROW!!!!
Let them be REMARKABLE without us working for THIRD WORLD WAGES for ONE DAY!!! (For a career, as you say, we were college educated for!)

They're not suffering. They didn't take a pay cut from the FACILITIES. They are cutting us as much as they can to buy up more and more. GREED!!

WE NEED A CALL OUT DAY OR TWO!
I plan to call tomorrow for my password and I'll ask then.

Paperwork said to call M-F only.  


I know which account this is that started this week. I would call tomorrow. sm
The IDs were sent back from the hospital but only one part of them. I have been on the account for 2 days and it is great. HBO Star and lots of volume and good dictators except one or two. Call and ask if the IDs are ready. There are a bunch of new accounts starting at the same time. They pulled me from my primary to help until the other IDs are in, so they are definitely needing you on there. You will love the KS rad department; I have been with them for 4 years and every year it gets better!
Maybe they didn't call her/him for a reason. They called me on Monday and I start tomorrow! sm
I know a lot of people who work there and love it, and that says more than the Q. I gave notice to my PS at MQ 3 weeks ago to start at another company but they did not get back to me after repeated calls. KS sent an email, called me and I start in the morning. They already set up my computer today. I am glad I made the move.

With the attitude of the OP, they probably tossed her resume into a compost heap!
Why don't you call the recruiter
How difficult is that.  You can even do it anonymously, give a fake name if they ask who you are.  Just call them.
Just got a call from the TH recruiter SM

I passed their test and they offered me a job!  Yeehaw! ;)  I'm really looking forward to it.  I start around Feb. 13 (my request as I want to give notice where I currently work).


Thank you to everyone on this board who helped me make this decision.


Stressed no more


I got a call from the recruiter
yesterday, and he said he was only looking for PT days or FT night shift :(  That's all I know, though!
call recruiter and ask them
,
I would call the recruiter...

Let her know you are having a problem and I am sure she will make arrangements for another way for you to test.

Best of luck.
Call a recruiter. No new employee can tell you this and let me tell you why...
There is a very specific, fairly new paragraph in the information that new hires are sent: If you talk about your salary, you can be terminated.

Salary is dependent on your test scores, your interview, the account you'll be on, and your experience. It differs for everyone, and it is competitve with other MTSOs. Your best bet is to call, or email, a recruiter. Their information can be found on MT Jobs, MT Stars, and MT Desk in their weekly ads.

Best of luck in your job search!
You would probably need to call and ask that question to a recruiter. nm

I would call your old boss or a recruiter. nm

No return call from recruiter

I had a similar situation happen twice, I might add.  I got an E-mail from a recruiter on 2 separate occasions - same recruiter one year apart during my job searches; the recruiter was from Prohibity Transcription wanting to know when is a good time to schedule an interview.  I immediately responded and said anytime from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but to let me know what would work best for her schedule as I am flexible.


I never, on both occasions, received a reply back.  I sent a follow-up E-mail a week later, on both occasions, I might add, and never heard a reply. I called the company and asked to speak to the recruiter by name and got her voice mail with no return phone call.


I, too, have been in this business for many years with a proven track record and I used to get a phone call the same day my resume was sent out by companies, sometimes within 15 minutes upon receipt of my resume.


All I have to say is at first I thought it might have been a fluke the go around she did not respond to my E-mail.  The second time, I am not so sure.


My advice is look to the smaller MTSOs who are family owned as opposed to the Nationals - of course, with most of them, you are an IC, but I find you tend to be treated as a valuable employee and your hard work is appreciated.


Usually they send UPS or Fed-Ex; you can call your recruiter /
trainer and find out if they have a tracking number for the delivery.
Simple answer. Call a recruiter.

It's not like you owe them your first-born child if you talk to them, they're paid to help.


The recruiter said she would call me with a 60 minute test? sm
The test is over the phone?
Axolotl update: got a call from the recruiter yesterday. sm

They give you a computer, but require a $300 deposit on it, to be taken out of your check in $50 increments until paid.   I left a different national a few months ago; and when I had started there a year ago, got a new computer and no deposit required at all.


Got called over a month and a half after I applied to their ad.


Line rate is required 170 per hour.


I'm supposed to get a testing e-mail soon, and have to respond and do the test within 48 hours.    That 300.00 bothers me.   A few extra hundred added to it, and I could buy my own.  I've heard the horror stories of deposits and equipment issues.


I think I'll pass. 


Call and ask a recruiter. I think it is higher than most other national companies. Nm

Call and talk to a recruiter. They would know what openings are on what accounts. nm

I know we have clinic work but not sure about the Part time. Call a recruiter. nm

Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

Tomorrow
you will probably be complaining tomorrow if you can't work because of Wilma hitting Florida, when I see all the other complaints on this board about other companies, I certainly do not have a problem doing 30 minutes of dictation on weekends.
tomorrow
we are to have a teleconference with, if memory serves, the president of Acusis talking about everything.
Tomorrow is another day.
At 4 cpl for 10 hours, that amounts to $7.20 per hour, less than the minimum wage in the state I live in. I am glad you have good days to make up for this.
Unless it is going away tomorrow, sm

I answered the question as it was asked.  You also did not mention that the platform will be a hybrid of the 2 and not simply Chartmatrix is going away.


 


 


So what will you do tomorrow if they

Hi, GP: Tomorrow is another day,' don't go...sm
You know that a lot of posters on this forum enjoy your comments.
Forget and ignore the nasty posts.
I know you'll be back, see you!
Tomorrow I have an Interview for a

Interview is with local BIG hospital, but will work at home. I am looking for questions to ask at the interview. It will be with 3 people. Head MT, HR person, and MR manager. NEED input, questions to ask, what constitutes good pay, etc. I have done radiology before in-house, but no idea where to begin with off-site pay scale.


Thanks for your help!


Tomorrow is payday
Are you saying that you have not received your check from last pay day? If you have not, please call HR immediately.
Thanks, Jo...I am going to just ask my lead tomorrow (sm)
As I explained to anon2 above, I am on Meditech with a C-Phone so the ER accounts on that platform might be more limited...but I'm going to ask..Thanks again!
Hopefully it will all be resolved tomorrow and
it won't happen again.  Something still doesn't seem right though. 
Anyone know anything? - I interview tomorrow - please help!
??
That could change tomorrow sm
If the MTSO you currently work for makes a business decision to off shore work are you supposed to quit? If the clients accept off shoring, then all the MTSOs will eventually do it. Only the clients have the ability to keep the MTSOs from off shoring.
Soon can mean tomorrow or 1 month sm
When I'm reading the OP's post it certainly didn't sound to me like you were going to be left high and dry one day. 
I have an interview there tomorrow -
can you give me an idea on the pay scale? what is their system like? benefits?
tomorrow my last day after 10 years - VR
Exactly what I am thinking - tomorrow is my last day - being laid off after 8 years with same company due to VR - The quality is horrible - how can they go from one day expecting perfect reports to not caring about the quality they get from VR - not working for 4 cpl - I'll clean toilets first
Tomorrow being Thursday
I'd ask if you could give them an answer on Monday, unless they seem desperate to get you started right away and make an immediate offer.

Personally, I'd make sure I called WMX before the other interview so I'd have a better idea of how to proceed. If WMX isn't going to make an offer, you'll know going into the other interview and can feel free to accept whatever they may offer.

Let us know what happens :-)


Let's take tomorrow off! While the topic is hot!!
I need a day off.
You know, I would hate for my job to go out tomorrow but
I have a safety net now, not in years past. Am at an age to where if I lost my job, have other income. Others can revolt if they like, not this lady.
Now work for me either and tomorrow.. sm
will be the same since it's the last day of the pay period.  I've worked almost every day this pay period while my family is off enjoying their days off without me:(  But according to TT, we should wait until Nov. when new accounts come in! HA!
Here today, gone tomorrow
The physicians just started training on VR/EMR a few weeks ago, and we were told yesterday to start looking for jobs. Doctors that I thought would NEVER edit their work picked it up with the speed of lightening.....Unbelievable..
Have an interview with Nightingale tomorrow...

Anyone heard of them??  I can't seem to find much on them.  I tested with them over a month ago, and they called today for an interview tomorrow.  I have no idea what to expect from them, but I do believe they hire IC, and they may pay by the minute.  Part-time is only 200 minutes a week.


I just started working for Sten-Tel this week, and so far I like it.  Things could change though, so I'd like to keep my options open.


We'll find out more tomorrow (4/25)
We have a conference call about this Ceridian screw-up, and I'll ask specifically about the Equifax thing, but have a feeling it's legit - unfortunately like all the rest of this.  
I think I will ask my lead tomorrow...I sure hope so..(sm)
the only thing is, I think it depends on what platform you're on...I am on Meditech and use a C-Phone.  I think there might be more accounts with other platforms...maybe ExText has more accounts on them so they are able to give people on there more than one..I don't know how it works but I sure am going to ask.  I would love a backup ER account! 
Interview tomorrow...what questions should I ask?
I don't want to forget anything important, what questions do you ask or would you ask when considering changing companies?

So far I have:
Flexible schedule?
% of ESL?
Web based? if so, which platform?
equipment needed? who provides?
How often paid? DD available?
Benefits?

What am I missing?
Interview with Diskriter tomorrow...

Hi all,


Can anyone please share their experiences with Diskriter good and bad of how they are to work for, how flexible their schedules are, pay scale, benefits, communication, etc. If you wish to me e-mail, please do so.


I have a phone interview with them tomorrow and they are sending me their test via e-mail tonight to do. I am currently looking into other companies because there has got to be something better than where I am at!


Thanks!


Yes, tomorrow is payday at TT, every other Monday. nm
x
Thanks! Guess I'll see it for myself tomorrow!
Thanks for the info!
Good luck at MQ tomorrow

Good luck to you.  I hope you have a positive experience at MQ.   I worked for 14 years for them, and I think they are great people to work with.


 


if I don't hear anything tomorrow I'll be looking elsewhere
not because I don't want to work here but because the electric company won't wait, ya know what I mean?
