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

I hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm

How about WAITING UNTIL THE CALL? sm
Before JUMPING to conclusions?? Holy cow. Unreal. I think it is to announce how well we are doing and talk about all the new work we have.
waiting for the call
I was just telling my husband a couple of days ago it seems like maybe HR is waiting until the very end of the year to tell us what our new rate and schedule will be so there is no time to look for a new job before the new year. Not a word about the merger in a few weeks, not a peep from HR.
Have you had call waiting disconnected? That will cause that.

Call Anthony at the office and let him know you are waiting or if you have sm
S. Cryer's email address, send an email to her and she will help you. She is the one who trained me. If this does not get deleted, it is scryer@softscript.com


Anybody else waiting to hear back from

Any current info on JLG? I took the test and am currently waiting interview call. nm

You've been waiting since May?
I think someone needs to get a clue....
That sounds wonderful - I am still waiting to be contacted back. nm

Thank you for posting. I've been waiting for the axe to drop
because I can't get up to speed. I was expecting to be able to do 250-300 lph there because I heard how great their platform was. I do love so many things about them compared to other places I've worked.
They have called me twice and I have not yet called them back
Per your recommendation, I just might. Thank you.
it's called - call forwarding
.
Sorry, no one ever called back
nm
Wouldn't know they never called me back
after hiring me.
I applied and they called back...
when I wasn't home and left a msg. When I called back, the person answering the phone didn't even want to take my name and number, but did so when I suggested it might be a good idea. Never heard another word... which probably says something, right???
Even further back, before we were called "transcriptionists"
The word 'transcriptionist', which came to around the same time as the evil organization, AAMT (now AHDI), is something I will not use because I want no association whatsoever with that horrible scam-group. Back in 'the day', when we were 'transcribers', we made a helluva lot more money than we do now.

'Transcribers' were considered live, human employees.

'Transcriptionists' are nothing more than expendable extensions of their transcription machinery.
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!
I have 15 years editing exp. they never called me back.
I'd not even try there again. everyone i know who is there is miserable.
I was offered 0.9 cpl, but recruiter never called back

The recruiter told me she would call me back later on the same day and never did.  I called her bluff.  How sad!!


That's exactly right! If you were so interested you should have called back and gave them a chan
nm
I've only been gone 2 months but no check. I have called

and gotten voice mails.  I have left messages and still no check and no returned calls.   I did get my last check though. 


I had no work either on 3 accounts, but didn't know I could stay logged in. 


 


Now that you've called experienced MTs giving
scared, implying that you have something we should be scared of, and stated condescendingly that you would like to be someone's little helper, my opinion has changed so you're on your own as far as this MT is concerned. You were given good and 100% warranted advice to watch out for yourself because working for free DOES invite some weirdos, and adult or not, you'd be surprised how many self-proclaimed smart adults fall for these schemes. Criminals are good at getting what they want even from smart adults. But sounds like you already know and don't need the help of people that have been in the trenches for years. Trust me, it's not fear. None of us are in danger of you stealing our jobs out from under us but thanks for implying that you somehow could. lol
Honestly, I gave notice during the training and was called back to MQ.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Call back
It is my understanding that Heather is no longer with the company. I would contact Katie, she is now the HR/recruiter. I really enjoy my job with DSG! There are several people happy there. They pay on time and correctly. They are very easy to communicate with. In the archives is also a post from a DSG'r who works for GIMT as well and is very happy with both!
so, call them back and say you have a dog now and

Call them back
Ask to speak to the highest person there. Demand that they immediately cut you a check and send it overnight (providing you with a tracking number). It is not your fault that they made an error. I do not play around when it comes to my money and I would NOT let them get away with that.
Call or go back to the school
and ask them exactly where these $60,000 to $70,000 jobs are. When they tell you, let us all know!
Did anyone get a call back regarding the job with CLK transcription? nm

Medquist call back?
Hey everyone. I had my phone interview with Medquist on Sunday morning and filled out the second set of information they asked for. They said it would only be a day or two and I still haven't heard anything. Does anybody know how long they usually take? Do they let you know if you didn't get the job?
Thanks in advance for the info.
I was told I'd get a call back too
with TAT, hours, etc.; after hearing such wonderful things about the company, lack of follow through on their part did make me blue.
Must be why they won't call me back. Sent resume and
they responded almost instantly, can't wait to talk to me.  They have never called me back.   I've been reading lots of posts today and overall they don't sound like a great company, so I figure it is just as well they didn't call. 
true about the people being rude, not to mention, don't call you back. nm
,,
Why not call them and ask? I've been with them for 2 years and love it. Best company
I have ever worked for.  There is always plenty of work, pay is decent and on time, and best of all I am treated well.  They offer all kinds of bonuses, continuing education pay, vacation pay, reasonable insurance through Aetna, life insurance.  Am I getting rich off this?  No.  Am I paid reasonably well?  Yes.  Would I recommend Transtech?  Absolutely!
per his request I told him Time To Call, he called Not That Time, emailed me
nm
Apparently, you got a call back.. Not me.. over 9 years of ortho experience and nada
Oh well, best wishes to you. Let me know how it goes once your through the process. I had asked before about information on them but no one seems to have any.
Yippee - I finally got a call back and did the test files last night
I hate sent another email and even called, but she was out of office. When recruiter sent the test files, she apologized for being out of touch and even thanked me for my persistence.

By the way, I was not talking about Medscribe at all. It is a totally different company.

Wish me luck!
I've cut way back because of the nastiness.
You can't post anything without someone calling you names or telling you to go take a pill or shower. I've got better things to do than be insulted by people who need to reevaluate their life's priorities. The world is negative enough without being subjected to trolls. I'd rather turn off the computer entirely. The little bit of helping someone isn't worth the constant negativity.
I've been there - back to my own accounts again!
If it helps - I truly understand. Been there, done that! Hopefully, don't have to ever do it again. Own accounts are the way to go.
I've gone back to nursing.
Found a low-key job in a clinic working 3 nights a week and am just praying it works out for me. I'm still technically with MDI, finding virtually no work available most of the time now, and basically just waiting for the axe to fall.

Does anyone remember DRC (Digital Records Corporation)? It was an AWESOME little company until it got swallowed up by Spheris, lost a couple of major accounts and laid off the majority of its MTs. Having lived through that little fiasco I'm confident I know the direction MDI is headed, and all I can tell you is to be ready.

Good luck to everyone!
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. 
Anyone heard back from TransHealth? I've applied
I have 25 years of acute care experience and great references.  Maybe it's my breath? LOL.
I applied for other positions when they've had them and never heard back. nm

I've sent resumes twice over the years and never heard back. Have experience, too. 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.
I called and called and e-mailed my STM. When that got no

results I went over her head.  Got another account, but with 3 accounts still not enough work to get in more than 20 hours/week.  I worked a shift that was part 2nd/part 3rd.  Some days OT was offered, but then there wouldn't be work the next day. 


You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
I worked in QA for Transcending back in 2000-2001. They were paying hourly back then. SM

The accounts weren't too horribly bad.  The reason I ended up leaving was because slowly but surely they began to inch closer and closer to paying QA by production.  When I first started, the quota was something like 30 reports a day.   We simply had to make sure that we QA'd all reports that were close to being out of TAT first and then do the rest.  Then, my supervisor left and they hired a new one who immediately called a big teleconference meeting and said we had to up production to 60 reports a day.  Then, they started counting lines.  Which was fine because they were still paying hourly.


Next, there was an MT who used VR software because she was blind - yes blind.  Again, when I first started, I was told we had to edit her entire reports because she used the VR software and we had to make sure that everything was correct and made sense.  Then, we are told only check the blanks.  I wasn't comfortable with that and I continued to completely proof every word.  Then I was called on the carpet not because I wasn't meeting the production quota, but because I was ONLY meeting the production quota.  I told them I was proofing all of the MT's work that used VR, I was told that no one ever told me to proof every word of the VR reports and that I needed to fill in blanks and move on.  When I voiced my concerns, I was told that was my job, to fill in blanks and I should move on and strive to product above the standards.  Next thing you know, rumors abounded about changing the QA staff to being paid on production.  So I left. 


There just seemed to me to be too little concern for quality and more emphasis on quantity and I just didn't want to be part of company who would take money out of my pocket just to line their own and that's what they were doing by putting QA on production.  I also am not comfortable with the job of QA being thought of as a blank filler.  There is much more to the QA profession than just simply filling in blanks. 


I don't know if Transcend ever did start paying QA by production, but I could see that the idea was being floated there.  Maybe there was a enough protest that they didn't change from hourly. 


Good luck to you!


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.
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.
