    How long from the time you submitted
    your resume until they called you?
    What newsletter? I never have received a newsletter and have been there nearly 3 years! nm
    nm
    OMG just saw the latest newsletter - LOL!
    LOL LOL
    They must be. There are new names in the newsletter every
    s
    In every newsletter, there is always a story about SM
    how a new MT, just starting out, is doing so well and loves the company. She always owns a large farm out in the country with her husband, 4 children, 5 dogs and 6 cats and perhaps a horse or two. She just started working 1-1/2 ago and has moved up to top level account or Special Teams or Assistant to Supervisor or, maybe she is a supervisor, and if read one more story like that in the newsletter, (and I try not to read them, I just cannot stop myself), but, if I ever read another one, I will throw up!

    Dana, if you are reading this, please note, this is not directed at you and I really am glad you are happy with Spheris.
    Newsletter/Husky

    I just give the Newsletter to my Siberian Husky to tear apart. At least sombody has fun with it.   


    Oh, Gawd, if you could only see the latest newsletter
    OSI has been the subject of so much discussion, it just does not get any better. LOL LOL

    It is actually a joy to work at OSi because it is so ridiculous that there is never a dull moment. I can't believe that she would have the nerve to post another stupid travelog.
    how do you get a newsletter, through snail mail nm

    http://www.karvyglobal.com/newsLetter/Nov2005/
    found this - notably, an Indian report.....
    I actually submitted my resume - sm
    And heard back within 10 minutes via telephone. With 1 little one not in school yet, flexibility is the most important thing to me right now. I think they sound great!
    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.
    I submitted mine
    on 9/30 and haven't heard back yet.
    Nevermind...already submitted. nm

    Our Newsletter I received today directed us to the new website
    www.mditransnet.net- If you have any complaints/issue you can post on our private forum.
    Matter of fact he threw that in the newsletter yesterday
    said that a client asked for offshore work and they complied.

    I can't believe any client would ask for offshore help as anal as they are about US MT's.
    email again just stating you submitted
    your resume about 10 days ago and have not heard anything as of yet for testing. They will get back to you very shortly then.
    Never heard of it, but submitted a resume.

    I just submitted an application to them. Can you give details? nm
    nm
    I submitted my resume thinking they represented
    companies who didn't want to post on the boards and that I could get a better line rate.   They represented one company to me that advertises here all the time.  I had already been offered a position with this company and turned it down, which I told TM about and they said well they sometimes can get a better rate, but they didn't.  Their testing was a joke.  I didn't test with owner, but with an airhead.  After turning down the offer a second time I never heard from them.  Going through TM just requires an additional interview and an additional test, as you still have to interview/test with the company.   I submitted my resume and within 2 days had interviewed and been contacted by the company they were recruiting for. 
    Has anyone heard from this company that submitted a resume?
    nm
    Actually test was required when I submitted my resume sm
    so maybe they were inundated and their system broke down or something and you were not required to test?
    Moderator, respectfully submitted, I disagree with you
    I am not trying to be this way but I know for a fact I asked before about my other company and it was answered. Since when asking who does so and so work become a privacy issue? If this is the case, every single person that talks about an X, Y or Z business should not be allowed then. Some of the companies are talked about really bad and I do not see their posts coming off or being censored as mine earlier- I did not talk bad language, only asking a question that should have been allowed to stay and not have parts taken out. This is just wrong. I really need no followup on this.
    Paid twice a month, with invoices submitted on the 16th and the 1st. sm

    Until now, there was no set pay date, but an email today stated that the funds wold be released within 5 business days, and they are working on having it done within 3 days.


    Regardless, it is still quicker than any place else I have been paid.  At another place, the pay period ends the same, but I am not paid until the 8th and the 23rd, and then it is by check, not direct deposit (Cardioscribes pays via direct deposit.)


    At my full time job, the pay period ends on Sunday at midinght, and I am not paid until a week later on Monday.


    So, even though it is a bit different not having a specific date to call payday, I still am paid quickly and have no issues with it, but then again, I only work part-time.  The people there are great, and it is cardiology clinic work, so it is a nice change of pace for me compared to acute care.  


    Hope this helps.



     


     


    Submitted resume 9/28 late at night. Received email today. nm

    They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
    and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
    I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
    company that is hiring flexible part-time?  I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to.  If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info.  Thanks!
    MDI-Maryland is an excellent company, pay on time all the time, great line rate.
    I left also because I went out and got my own client(s).
    They are very nice people.

    The only negative I can think of were the e-mails from the owner say work, work, work, we are out of TAT.

    Other than that, which is very minor, it was a good experience.
    Not what I was told; 3500/wk part-time & 6000 wk/full-time. nm
    nm
    Precyse Solutions is hiring part-time and full-time right now.
    Saw this on their website.
    i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
    other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
    MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm
    nm
    I have one full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. It can be tricky at times, sm
    but at least I now have plenty of work always. I have some big financial goals, and right now that seems to be the only way to accomplish it.  I can't see any reason why it would not be legal -- why would you say that?  I am cheating no one, except myself (out of sleep and a social life).  Fortunately, I am single with no children or anything.  I cannot imagine doing this if I had a family.  At least my dogige understands. 
    I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
    new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
    per his request I told him Time To Call, he called Not That Time, emailed me
    nm
    Full time/part time based on # hours or
    # lines per pay period, nothing to do with quality. The lower the quality the higher the pay it seems.
    Solution: Find another job, part time or full time.
    Post your resume, hope for the best.
    Depends on how flexible you need to be and if full-time or part-time
    They are a little more flexible if you are part-time.  Not so much full-time, where you can be a little flexible within the day (not a strict 8-5), but if you are scheduled for Monday, you have to work Monday unless you request off, and if you are scheduled for a Holiday, you have to work the holiday, unless you request off.  They encourage you to clock out every time you are not typing to keep your lph rate up, which means an 8 hour day can turn into 12 hours at the computer.  If they run out of work (which they do quite often), you have to make the time up.  They are also leaning more towards Voice Recognition, so MTs are getting trained on that, but not sure what percent will go that way.  It does affect how much work you may get though in the other accounts.   
    They are advertising for full time HIM now, do they still hire part time? nm

    It will get better, I hope. Too much time on my hands means too much time on ebay! lol nm

    DVHP gives vacation time to part-time people. nm

    Any companies out there where you do not have to fill in a time sheet or on a time clock?
    I would like to do my lines and be done, and still get my benefits.  Any companies out there that go by line production rather than hours to qualify for bennies?
    OSi with part time health insurance and paid time off
    OSi does offer health insurance and paid time off for part time.  Yes, there have been changes.  Yes, there will probably be more changes.  I don't see anywhere that hasn't had changes.  If they don't change they will be out of business the way the economy is these days, just like some other companies.  If they don't make money, then I don't make money.  So, what is so different with OSi compared to other companies?  I see complaints constantly about all companies.  I don't think it is the fault of the company that they outsource or use voice recognition.  It just is life on life's terms these days.  There is still enough work for us, at least for me. 
    My thoughts exactly, why waste my time when you know you are only hiring full time? nm
    nm
    From time to time those paper checks aren't good!
    nm
    This comes at the same time they are pushing this TAT time. I have no intention of sitting here on a
    set schedule for no work. The only reason I get work now is working erratic hours when there is work so I think anyone that works for Amherst better put down on their time schedule they send in they will be working when there is work. The worst thing that can happen is you get canned for working different hours and if there is no work who cares. They surely dont care about SE do they. They just pull the rug out and expect all these people with second jobs to adjust and quite frankly a lot of them wont be able to so I think it tells you they probably dont care about those people. I think with ASR and EMR they figure they can just trim the work force and the first they dont care about are those with other jobs using this as a second income or spending money. Pretty obvious to me.
    Its holiday time. I just took a part time job at K-Mart and
    it is really quite fun because I get to interact with humans and do not have to stare at a computer. My part time benefits included an employee discount on merchandise from day 1 of employment, can put that on lay-away, and if the item goes on sale before you pick it up, you get it at the sale price as well as with the discount. This is a Super K-Mart, and with kids this will really help with paying for their presents. It sure beats running out of work every day and wondering if I am going to have any money for gifts.
    Ugh - well I did all my work on time and I expect to be paid on time.

    The phone company doesn't wait, the cable company doesn't wait, and the electric company doesn't wait for their money either - all of which I need to pay in order to do my job.  I work when I am supposed to, I help when behind, and give 110%, and I ask for my check to be on time. 


    I think if an MTSO is going to have to mail checks they should do so priority to make up for the delay.


    Full time but no work half the time-nm
    nm
    okay to yell the first time but not correct etiquette the second time?
    .
    Question on MDI-MT full time vs. part time
    Does anyone know how many lines per week or per pay period are required at MDI-MT to be considered full time?  Thanks.
    No, not a time clock. You just fill out a time sheet sm
    with your days and times and lines and email it every 2 weeks.

    It really seems to be a great place to work so far -- the people are great and the work has not run out.  I have been paid more, but then again, I am an employee and have benefits and do not have to mess with that tax hassle anymore, so I'm happy.

    Good luck in whatever you decide.
