Quick, the gene pool need a quick Clorox!

Could I please get a quick reply to quick hiring???....sm
I cannot find anything here or in archives about Integrity Transcription Service LLC; I was rapidly recruited and offered employment w/o testing, and wonder if there are any MTs here who work/have worked there?  Could you please share here or at my e-mail?  Soooo much appreciated, trying to weed things out!
I was serious, no need to get so very defensive...
you really do sound right for them, that is all...relax...
Being Defensive
No of course not. I didn't tell you the conversations verbatum. Just giving friendly warnings! Wow, are we just a tad defensive?? Is this her??? LOL
Why so defensive? sm
The OP's post was NOT rude, childish or vulgar, and she had every right to express her feelings and frustration regarding this company. I appreciate her candidness because I came to this board to learn what MTs really think about their jobs, and that includes hearing the negative along with the positive. I'm glad to hear you're happy, but don't discount her opinion and experience because it's not as rosy as yours.
Hmm. . . Why so defensive??
I post on several other sites that do not have spam problems, and people who post can even use a proxy.  Sites that require an auth code are tracking - and for a reason.  MTSO's filter this board.
Defensive just a bit? nm

Defensive??? sm
No, I'm not *defending* her. I'm just saying that it was no big deal to mute the call -- in fact, it was appreciated.


What I DIDN'T appreciate was all of the talk in acronyms. If she'd put the call on the web, at least she could've had flashcards for translating CDIX or whatever these new programs are.

...And no one has yet explained to me the difference between an MT and a TranOp.


What I also DON'T appreciate is repeatedly holding these meetings WITHOUT an agenda available beforehand. It's impossible to think fast enough to form a relevant question when we don't have a clue what the topics are to begin with.

But then why should I expect these things to run according to Roberts Rules of Order??? The point is NOT for exchange of info/ideas but to TELL us things without time for discussion. Duh on me.
The more mean, defensive postings I see from you indicate to me that
because you're getting a little too angry and taking it a little too personally not to be. 
Feeling a little defensive are we?
You wrote: Perhaps we are all generalizing too much.

And then you went on to generalize! Who said all companies are bad?

What I see here (presently) are legitimate complaints and MTSOs whining about them instead of posting 'any'thing remotely like: Thanks for the input; comments under consideration.

Well maybe we'll all win the lottery and be done with all of this! LOL :)
You don't need to be so defensive...geez!
I wouldn't know about the other docs because the account I was on was ALL ESL, very, very difficult to understand ESL's, and one physician that was just impossible to understand, and every time I logged on, it was always him on there.  I realize there are ESL's everywhere because I do them on a daily basis, but he was the WORST one I have EVER had and the others on that account were terrible as well.  Let's face it...you can't make any money if you can't understand what they are saying.  I told them I could not understand them and nothing was ever done about it and I wasn't going to stick around long enough to be their gofer!  Like I said, I was disappointed about it, but we all have to pay the bills and I couldn't do that with them!  Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a REALLY bad account there and they should be well informed on what they are accepting beforehand. 
My, my...you girls are defensive!
Never said I was a W fan, did I? Don't get your panties in a wad!
Wow. Are you defensive. And not entirely honest.
//
Since when is being honest the same as being defensive
Sounds to me like you were probably one of the ones they had to let go.
Not defensive, just telling the truth.

I'm not the owner.  I'm an employee.  And if it appears that I'm touchy, it's because I know for a fact that one of TC's ex-employees has done nothing but trash the company, to the point where I had to stop communicating with her because I was tired of hearing non-stop negativity, when she didn't even work there any more.  Maybe you're not that person; maybe you are.


Either way, it's a good, solid company, and potential employees shouldn't be scared away by negative posts concerning it.


Have a nice day.


How can you be so defensive? nothing was mentioned about India -nm
f
I call TROLL on the defensive
so-called MT who defends cherry-picking.
Calling someone a liar is not a small thing. I am not defensive.
I know the owner and have for a few years. When I see someone call someone a liar, I want to know what constitutes a lie in your opinion?
The MTs can't get out of there quick enough.
Keep looking!
Don't be too quick..
I know a lot of QA people that are not consistent including the ones that trained me. One person can say one thing in one month, and the same person will say something else the next month. It's not always the MT ya know
Very quick!

RUN - away - quick!
RUN AWAY
you are just too quick to....
point your finger, AND this is not gossip as I, along with others, went through the same thing. OP was just asking a simple question and your cocky answer was not called for. So I say it again, GROW UP!!
It's all about quick TAT sm
The TATs are tight so the accounts have to be staffed 24/7, and more people are working on the accounts keeping them caught up. The work is steady on my internet account, but it is always very current with very little backlog but the work is there. I've been at MDI for 4 years, cleared for all work types on my accounts, and have 5 accounts I can work on although only consistently work on 2. I have a friend who started recently. On her account, she was not cleared for all work types, and she does have trouble getting her lines. She doesn't want a backup account yet.
Quick, quick
I testing and applied with them and got a phone call from Bonnie Monaco within 2 hours of submitting everything.
Thanks for your quick response!

so dont be so quick to THINK you know
what happened. anyway, don't worry about what I will or will not do.
Thanks for the quick responses! s/m
I can't find anything else at all. Don't know if this would help me gain exp though for medical transcription.

Where is the work at home mom's board???

Thanks again :-)
Transcribe it Quick
I was wondering if anyone had heard back from Transcribe It Quick or has worked for them before.  They posted on the job board on 05/09 for per diem transcriptionists.  I received a phone call from a very nice woman who was the owner of the company.  She told me she wanted to hire me, told me all the specifics, welcomed me to the company, etc. and she even had me register with the site and download their player.  She was supposed to call me back that night, and I haven't heard word one back from her.  It sounded like a great job opportunity with great pay.  I called and left a message on her answering machine and I still haven't heard anything.  I thought it was really strange, and I was wondering if anyone had received a phone call back from her and was offered a job. 
Thanx for the quick reply!
TY
Do you want quick or accurate?
Why go to a board like this for a question to do with your company's benefits? Actually, you would probably get a pretty quick answer by e-mailing your HR rep, and it would have a much higher probability of being correct!
Quick Question - sm
 Which forum on MTStars is the best one to visit if you're interested in learning about obtaining private accounts - tried-and-true methods, platforms to choose, etc.?  TIA!
quick to defend too
vv
Please, quick info regarding....sm
Medical Transcription Services in Wisconsin -- sent me a letter regarding a new radiology account coming on board, would really love to take it (love rad), but I cannot find much about them AT ALL.  Thanks in advance!
Why are people so quick...
to think that lack of work is the sign that a company is *bad*. There is such a thing as TAT. Anyone in this field knows that at times it is feast or famine. I have no problem making my lines during the pay period, even when volume is low; it's called being flexible with my schedule. I do what I have to do, still have my days off and still make decent paychecks.
thanks, another quick question-
do they supply computer/equipment?
I got a quick response, but
they only had 3rd shift available.  I took a few days and then responded saying that I would be able to work the shift, then the recruiter told me she would contact me to discuss the position.  That was 2 weeks ago, and I still have not heard anything.  I'm also very experienced, with 99.5% QA or better.  Very weird . . 
Don't be so quick to doubt

I'm 5 years into my MT career.  I'm 48 and currenly I work an average of 10 hours a day for a popular MTSO.


2 years in house - most I made was was 27K


Last year 6 months in house, 6 months at home - 24k


Next year - 34k


This year 55k!  Do I count on that for next year?  Nope, but I can hope.


Yes, my speed probably is increasing.  Since this industry has a give yourself a raise mindset, that's what some of us do, when we can.


Yes, its awful that many of you made that much in the good old days, and its been reduced.  But as a relative newbie, I have nothing to be bitter about, so I just keep honing my skills and my expanders.


I think a quick email to your STM would be it. sm
That's all I did, said that I intended to work an extra hour each day, although I was usually getting 37 hours a week anyway.
Quick ? Sunshine
Just how strict are they on the 98% and QA submission? I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give!
Just a quick question please?

Hi!


I was hoping maybe you could share a little information about the Keystrokes hiring process with me?


I am really hoping to join the Keystrokes team but I am not sure if I should and my emails are not returned.


 


Many thanks!!


Quick clarification...
A lot of the accounts have the ability to go back to old reports and you pull several lines of information, those lines are paid at a different rate than the lines you actually type. It is basically getting paid for free lines I guess you would say. Nice enough company. Pay normally on time. They bascially leave you alone if you are doing your job.
Yes, yes, and yes. Honeymoon over real quick! nm

That is exactly how quick this company can get people going.
This company truely is one of the best. I feel like I am honestly part of a great family!
I'm a quick study but it was immediate. Its so easy.
nm
can you quick explain "link" to me?

Keystrokes Rad MTs.....quick question...sm
Could you all let us know the per report rate that Keystrokes is offering for their radiology MTs?  I am intersested but don't want to waste anybody's time either.  TIA
It was a very quick little blurp during an interview
and the recruiter said, as we were talking about Medquist - Yeah, Transcend will have its hands full when it picks up Medquist. That'll be soon.

It was the recruiter from OSI. Yes, they tell little fibs, but she also did tell me they outsource a very small percent of their work, and that was true.
Thank you LM for all your quick responses and information!!! NM

oh but they are quick to send an e-mail...
when you get something wrong in the dictation...
Thanks so much for your quick response and advice. sm
It's been a few years since I have had to apply for a new job and wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning or not, or if it would ever be asked. Thanks again!
