I have been contacted by a trainer in the US already. Still unsure about this.

They said they would overnight the pedal. Still unsure if I should change jobs. Yikes! If anybody could suggest a safer bet that would be appreciated too. Thanks for your feedback!

When unsure.... sm
Whenever I test and am not sure about something like that I put a few asterisks at the end of the report and write a note explaining what I have done and the rationale. That way at least they know, if it's not the way they want it, that I gave it thought and did not just blatantly make a mistake. It always seems to work because I get positive responses back, that they appreciated my pointing this out to them -- never penalized for this.
Unsure this is about VTS or not..
Maybe someone else will speak up. I just wasn't aware of any companies starting witha a V until I saw these posts. http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/76323.html
Nothing snitty or helium-ish, just saying that's what I do and unsure why others don't do it
that way. I mean, you DO see the words on your screen. So why look at them again? If I were typing from copy, I could see where you would have to proof. But when they are rolling off your fingertips as you are typing, why not proof then? Added my stats to show it can be done. 
I concur. If the MR is not provided, and you are unsure you are
transcribing on the correct patient because patient's name/and or DOB were not given or prounced as you have searched, just bypass it.
Unsure, need reality check
I don't know how I feel, I guess numb. So, looking for feedback on how this job is going for me. In the biz a long time:
1. Got cleared from training quickly. 2. Immediately got all the most difficult jobs, did not complain. 3. Decided to stick it out day after day. Though never ran out of work. No feedback. No nothing. Figured no news is good news. 4. Still got the worst work. Noticed reports out of order during early shift. Obvious cherry picking going on by other team-members. 5. Decided I must be wrong, my bad... later in day came on early, got good reports, did a few. 6. Came back for shift was actually flagged to type all the worst dictators, as they are marked with red that they were assigned. Started to get a bit paranoid. 7. Came on today cherry picker gone, all bad work out of TAT, this MT the only one on, typed many reports. Lots without dr. giving demos, etc. Did the best I could. Flagged for QA the ones without demos (although taking a chance as a newbie, because QA blanks are counted against our progress). Decided to still hang in there.Finally got feedback after several weeks from big boss stating this goes to the whole team: bad demos, bad quality, etc. We need to do better (written in stronger words).
Have strong feeling I want to quit after this bad e mail, and after all the bad reports and cherry picking going on. Still have other job. Stomach is in a knot. Is all this worth it? Feedback happily appreciated. 
Medware or MDI-FI. Considering applying. Unsure of best choice.
Can anyone give me insight about these companies.. pay, benefits, accounts etc..
Hands-On Transcription does the same thing but unsure if they are good or bad...sounds bad though
I was inquring about a job with Hands-On Transcription company. They did not have any website or physical address. They had just posted on here. I had emailed the lady several times. She told me I could purchase a C-phone from her for 399.00, which I do not have any familiarity with a C-phone (never had to use them in my career as of yet). Plus before she sent me the paperwork she wanted my name, phone, address, and SS#..I sent that, out of hesitation, and she has never sent paperwork back. Though she did email me about something else. I am scared now that maybe I should not have given her the information since I could not find anything on the company. So, please be careful. I should have went with my gut instincts....
mt trainer
that's the point. no one got it. they ended up saying that the owner was too busy to do any hiring. I interviewed for it too. 2 weeks of my time for nothing.
What trainer?
Initials
Well of course the trainer is going to say
she loves Meditech, then if there is an issue it becomes your problem.
I do wish you well, but Meditech just doesn't get any better.
Well you said up above it was regarding the trainer position
and they wasted your time. Now you have a problem with the way the owner conducted the interviews? I work for this company so I don't like to see the owner knocked down.
My trainer is not so good.
I love the company, but I am not very impressed with my trainer.
Shannon T. is the trainer there
who trained me and another MT. Neither one of us worked there long; we had the same supervisor, GH. If you go with Milner and have Shannon as your supervisor, you might like working there. Shannon seemed like she'd be a good supervisor. She certainly was an excellent trainer.
Nah, the newbie had the best trainer...
including asking to work OT without recording...I have already seen it. She is definitely a keeper! Only those who refuse to do so are fired or made to be miserable so they leave on their own.
did anyone have to call MDI-MD trainer for their
Bayscribe training? They said if I didn't hear from them by 15 minutes after my scheduled time to call them. Its looking like I am going to have to call in about 5 minutes. Just wondered if this is common?
Is there anyone who works as a trainer? sm
I have been working as a trainer for well over a year. I have many, many years experience in MT and QA. I am trying to get information on what the average pay is for a trainer. Thanks for any info!
Told by trainer. But you're right
I have to call again. I'll have to get on the phone and call tomorrow morning nice and early. 
The trainer didn't email you?
My trainer sent me an email letting me know that my computer would be arriving and to confirm when my training would start.
In the email, she gave me my user ID and password to log onto the computer. This is so I could set it up and make sure the internet was working properly before calling the specified number.
Maybe they don't do that with everyone? I don't know.
I am interviewing for a trainer position. What would
you ask for per hour? I will be training all new employees on the software that the company uses. Thanks for any input. Yes, by the way, I have been with this company for several years but not sure what to ask for in this position. Thanks!!!
Yes, it seems to be rather slow. The trainer said she loved it, though, sm
so I will hang there awhile longer. Perhaps I just do not know all of the tricks. I was told to wait 3 months before asking for any changes, so I don't want to rock the boat right off the bat. So far, everyone has been really great to me.
Thanks for your input -- glad to know I'm not the only one who is not fond of the platform.
CMT trainer for MT course on job seeker's board?
Now they want us to give out trade secrets to our international labor partners, aka Asian MTs? That's like training your successor before you know you are being fired. The indignities of this profession are piling up....
How is the trainer, team leader or regional mgr
They've already said that it could be months, maybe even into next year, before all the problems can be fixed. Why would the team leaders or trainers have answers that the technical team doesn't even have, and if they do, why haven't they fixed it for everyone??
I'm doing okay at MW after 2 months. Didn't have the trainer screw-up that you had. TL and QA
s
Winnie you're a great trainer
You're at Medware right? A lot of former OSI'ers have gone to Medware.
They usually give you an appointment with your trainer once your stuff has arrived. nm
s
Support very slow, had to train myself on platform. Trainer kept
p
The Warminster office is now part of the NE Region. Unsure if Warminster will be
staying open. All the accounts have been switched to Amherst, NY. Hard to know who to deal with since the office manager has not been replaced so not the best.
Have they contacted you?
I sent a resume late last week but haven't heard anything.
Have already contacted her and IRS
As there was never ANY pay at all, but recieved 1099 showing there was.
They contacted me too, but sm
They all ended up with companies that are where Diskriter was 3 years ago, going through a complete management revamp and all only offered IC status at a lower rate than I am making employee status with DR, all of them required the same scheduling, although I think Diskriter is pretty darned flexible, never been told no or had a problem if I needed to switch days, leave early, etc. All of these past employees who were at DR are now at other companies. One of them got DR into the huge mess they were in to begin with . They have all said they'll hire me any day, no interview, no questions asked, but what they have offered preliminarily without my application was worse than where I'm at for line rates now. If you search the archives on the companies their with now, the responses from MTs there will say nothing better or worse than you see with DR, it is all a matter of OPINION again and to each his own.
If you are an MT looking into DR, go with your gut, if you feel like they might be right for you -forget the pre-employment requirements and background checks as an excuse to not apply, that is a pretty silly reason not to apply or accept a job, only desperate companies hire just by looking at a resume and not doing any background or physicals. DR is not a desperate company - we are all very qualified MTs who pick up the slack when needed until we get new people that are just as qualified.
They contacted me
within about a week, but I applied at the end of July after the **** hit the fan at the Q, probably before a lot of other MTs. They were just starting some new accounts and the timing was perfect. I know they were swamped with apps in August, but if you have not heard anything after a week, I would contact them.
They have contacted me.....
They have contacted me and I was already hired by them a few months ago. They are asking me to retest with them. Not so sure if I want to go through everything again. It may not be worth the time since I did not have a good experience the first time. They want to get me on the payroll and start training me tomorrow.
They contacted you first and then did this?
I guess they have plenty of time and money to waste. Makes you wonder if they had someone there with an axe to grind against you. It's possible that person saw your name and decided to use a loophole to not hire you, but its still a rotten thing to do anytime, much less during the holiday season.
Good luck and hopefully other companies will treat you fairly.
I contacted them..
I contacted K&R to ask them to verify the security officer's name. I haven't heard anything. The other very weird thing is that their website does NOT have their address unless I missed it. I had to Google the company and get the address that way.
It's just a weird set up. I think I may back out as well.
Have they contacted you? sm
I've heard not one word from them or anyone else I've applied too. I'm getting so sick of it.  Even a get lost email would be better than nothing! Ugh...
I contacted them, but the pay was way too low.

THEY HIRED ME AND NEVER CONTACTED
I have been waiting and waiting and they have my contract and all the paperwork and they are nowhere to be found. Anyone else have this experience?
I think it was 2 days before they contacted me. I
turned it down before they offshore.
I was contacted the day after I submitted...sm
my resume by one recruiter with a couple of questions about my experience with ESLs and operative reports, then received another e-mail from a different recruiter the following day to schedule the formal interview.
Sounds to me like she HAS contacted the-sm
ones that they have chosen for the positions, and that she was just letting the others know that the choice has been made, probably so there will not be any more discussion of her not responding quickly enough, on this board. jmo
Thanks, she contacted me and guess what...
She is going on a short cruise and will get back to me when she returns about the position. I think not.
Yes, I contacted HR, this is not an issue
with my paperwork. It is that they have not sent my contributions to MetLife - not one cent all year, and I am having 10% withheld. That is a lot of money the company has been using. Almost seems like stealing, doesn't it?
Florida - I'm being contacted by them
via email and not even sure how they found me. I've never applied to them. I'm currently an IC but now I'm curious about them.
Same here. I emailed them once, but they never contacted me. nm

Has anyone been contacted back sm
by Lee Pefect after passing test since recent ad?
Thanks so much!
I contacted them with 20 and got no reply.
 They probably hired all newbies at that rate. I wouldn't worry too much about it. What sounds too good to be true usually is, but I was curious as well.
I contacted everybody and was totally ignored!
That tells you how much our so-called govenrment of the people, for the people is working nowadays. Lately, the slogan is Of the rich, for the rich, and to heck with the middle class....take their money and run before they get wise.
They don't give %$%#@% about us. All they care about is how much money they're getting from big business and the rich.
They have contacted me 3 times about
working for them, but I have turned them down so I don't know much about them. They have several different platforms that they work with, most at internet-based where you type real-time into the cyst. I have 20 years of experience in acute care and I think they offered me 8 cpl.
recruiter contacted me next day sm
 You will get an email that says congratulations you passed, so on and so forth
I applied to the last ad, was contacted by their
recruiter and asked about my availability for an interview. I responded saying I was basically available anytime and never heard another word. I again forwarded them my resume with a note regarding my availability and still nothing, yet there is a new ad. I am not sure what to make of it.
Oh they realize, and they were the first ones I contacted
