Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

I think this site is overwhelmed...

Posted By: sm on 2009-08-04
In Reply to: Question for those of you applying - ApplyingMT

I don't think it has anything to do with your experience. Now granted I am a newbie and just landed my first job after months, and months of looking, but I only got 1, yes ONE response from anyone of of the job boards on here, and that was to tell me thanks, but we picked one of the other 250 applicants!! (And trust me I applied to EVERYTHING that didn't specify experience requirements for the past 4-5 months.) So I think this website has just become overwhelmed with people trying to find jobs, and the only way you have a shot is to be one of the first few that applies. The job I got was from just searching for local MT companies in my area, going on their website and sending them an email to see if they were hiring.....the place that hired me wasn't at the time, but two months later they emailed back and boom I was hired! I think it says more too if you seek them out and ask for a chance instead of just applying to a list of jobs on a board! Anyways, hope this helps! Good luck with your search!

Some are overwhelmed
Some companies may simply be overwhelmed with applications. I know our company has been with each ad we place. It takes a while to go through hundreds of applications. When you have only a few people going through all the applications, plus doing the usual operation duties, plus training new hires, plus being heavily involved with bringing on new clinics, it does take time to get back to every applicant.

I'm not saying that is the case with all companies, but sometimes one person can only do so much in a day, hence the reason to hire more and delegate some those duties. In our case, growth has been rapid enough it can be a struggle to get it all done in a day--and mighty long days at that!

Just trying to give some explanation for the other side :) Good luck to you.
They have probably been overwhelmed with resumes since

they have been discussed so much lately.  I sent a resume and was offered a position without testing within just a few days of submitting it.  I accepted the position and they said it would take  1 to 2 weeks to get all the paperwork done, equipment, and get clearance from the account to access their system.  I ended up not accepting the position so not sure how long it would really take to get going. 


 


From your statement it seems like you are overwhelmed with ASR
I have been working on the same system now for about 5 years and no outsourcing on our job because of it. I still have corrections to make, numbering seems to be an issue some as I have been told the dictators when numbering should all say next and then the machine knows to go to the next number but the dictators do not always do that. I am saying I was told that, do not quote on that point. My pay was never cut 50%, I make over $20+ an hour on voice now and right from the start (again has to do with system and training) our system just seemed to be an exceptional one. Some people do not like, others like me love it. No I am not MTSO, never have been, no I have no stock in the company, no I am not a newbie (30+ years here) and no I am not a slow transcriptionist. Just thought I would answer all the come backs before they appear. The same ones appear over and over as to why a person could possibly like voice. If most at your company entered almost exactly alike, the machine would train itself. If everyone works differently, say 1 person indents for numbering, another does not, then there is the issue. Sorry you have had such unhappy time with your program.
I have had a similar experience - must be overwhelmed.nm

I imagine they are totally overwhelmed with applications right now.
I would give them a little bit of time to get back with you. I just can't phanthom the amount of applications they've probably received from those wanting to maintain a SE status. That's where I'm headed & actually looking forward to it. I wish you the best & hope you hear from them !!
Ugly! Don't know about Rad, but a bud of mine was overwhelmed with paperwork, pay was low, and it

Comment from December says they're understaffed and overwhelmed, no time for their MTs.nm

Comments on this board from 12/2005 said staff was overwhelmed and had no time to help their MTs.

You are still wrong to thank your company on an MT site, appropriate is your site.

Best Web Site...
Here's a totally silly, irrelevant, dopey question:  If you had never worked for any of the nationals, knew nothing about them whatsoever, and you had to pick one company based solely on their web site - who would you pick? Remember - you know nothing about any company whatsoever....
Here's a web site for you.

Except for the site.
know nothing.

HTH.
On this site, at least. :) SM
However, I felt it was worth posting as a representative of those Spheris employees who are satisfied.

I think many Spheris employees choose not to frequent/post on online forums, since there are guidelines regarding such discussions and it's easier just to avoid the issue.
I took a look at their web site - sm
I have not complete any formal training with a medical transcription school, but have 15 years experience in acute care. Their web site says they prefer transcriptionists who have completed formal training with an accredited school. I really want to apply, but since I haven't gone to school, I am hesitant. Anyone know if they will hire based on experience, without having completed training?
new web site
what discussion forum on what new web site?
MDI-FL...is there a web site....
to go to for infomation?  Thanks!
New Site?
I am thinking about making a website/blog specifically for Pro-American MTs, educating the general public what's truly at risk here. For starters, I am personally going to boycott all doctors who support/send their dictation other countries!!!

I want to make the general public aware and get their input on supporting such a boycott. Hopefully, they'll join in on the boycott too.

My money is going to the doctor who supports American jobs. I'll put my trust in those physicians, thank you. As far as the docs who send their dictation to MTSOs who send our jobs overseas, I hope they all move overseas and live happily ever after! You don't deserve to live in America!

Who's game? I may get a friend of mine to get this started? I can message/email personally to those who are interested will details.
I don't think they have a web site

But they had an ad on the big MT job board.  They're in Florida.


 


Where is their web site??

They don't have a web site (sm)
Can I put you in touch with them?
According to their web site
The Transolutions APEX™ system is a secure, Web-enabled information management system offered exclusively by Transolutions. APEX™ reduces bottom-line costs by creating efficiencies of data management and storage at a centralized location. It also allows you to audit, access, view, edit and print transcribed documents. (Future phases of APEX™ will include electronic signature.) APEX™ incorporates:
OK, you got me to their site. I still saw nothing about it.
Could you direct me to which tab it states it on? Do they get money for all of us being paranoid and going to their website?
Web site?
Does this company have a web site? I could not find anything - was wondering how long they've been around. I lived in Peabody for years and never heard of them, not that that means anything!
Here's their web site

Anyone know web site for
MDI-MD? I tried www.meditrans.net because I had seen that somewhere, but you can't get in without a password? I just wanted to read about them, their requirements, etc.  Thanks
It's also in the TOS on THIS site.

Their web site says

you get paid when we get paid by the client, pay 0.07 to 0.8 cpl, you must submit your own invoices, a 2-dollar charge for direct deposits...I quit reading after that. 


I don't work there but thatis what their web site says.

why not just go to their web site?

and if you look on the site....
they are lobbying for required certification to do medical transcription, which would suck all of us into membership and partnership wtih them. Blech!!
From their site, they are an
Indian company. Do you really wan to work for an Indian company?
Go to the web site for
the AHDI, formerly AAMT, and they have definitions for three levels of MTs. Whether or not you agree with their organization and what they stand for, I think that theirs are the best definitions I've seen for job descriptions in this field.

I'm beginning to think it should be renamed MTWars. That's about all that ever goes on here anymore. I wouldn't even presume that I could get a decent answer to a question on here because it seems like every question starts some sort of ridiculous childish I'm right, you're wrong debate that goes on forever and ever . . . . It's a very ugly place to visit and as of today, it's off my list of favorites.
Thanks for the web site help. sm
I could never figure it out.  I applied and accepted an offer from KS!

They're more than a little scary.

They say they cut checks once a month but checks aren't mailed until they've been paid by their clients.

MT Solutions, LLC site?
Is there a site for MT Solutions, LLC? I would like to know something about a company prior to applying. Thank you.
Not sure how to do a search on this site, but
does anyone know anything about a company called Transtech Medical?  TIA
Anyone know the web site for Med-Rite
Thanks!
Website/FTP site
Usually they have a website you download the software from.  Then you install it onto you computer.  Or some companies use FTP sites.  Works the same way.  HTH
I don't know. I got the info from their web site. Also they pay on a

I visited the site as
In one of the forums, you suggest to someone (who complained about not having enough work) to try Spheris. What exactly is your role in relationship to MTReviews.org?

If you are actually trying to get new MTs for MTReviews.org, which you say is a brand new company, why suggest to someone to try Spheris? Is this really just a front to get people to go to the site so they can see the post about the 3cpl incentive for finding a new client?
Do you happen to have a web site for them? nm
