From someone who bothered sending a resume, I take it back. I'm shocked at the immaturity
level that is going on. There is no way I would even think of accepting a job that would have a recruiter who acts as you have on here. I'm pretty sure you burned all of your bridges. I feel for the companies who hired you to represent them. How proud they must be..NOT.. Wow..
I just e-mailed you...but I'm having problems sending and receiving e-mails on here (sm)
hope you get the e-mail!
Question about sending resume...sm
Sorry if a silly question but...I've never applied for a position from the Job Seeker's board before.  When I copy my resume over, do I have to make it look normal in that box, or do I leave as-is and when it gets forwarded, will it look like it originally did in Word?  Thanks!
I think sending your resume is the only application
There's nothing else to fill out, just send your resume.
Sending a resume to The Transcription Doctors
Their email address is an AOL email address, so if you are not using AOL, did you put @aol.com on the end of the email address? If you use AOL, of course you do not need to put the @aol.com extension on. As previously mentioned, I sent her my resume and heard back from them about a half hour later.

Quest. about testing vs. sending resume to company...
As we know, most companies have you test for them, usually through mttest.com.  Some places allow you to submit your resume first, which is often followed by the invitation/direction to take their test.  My question is, do most companies just recieve your resume and automatically have you test, or do they actually look at the resume first to see if your initial qualifications are adequate?  I've tested at a few places and didn't qualify.  I'd love to know that they actually checked out my experience first and that is why they're having me test instead of me spending all that time when they may just be able to tell me I'm not qualified just from the resume.  Do you know which is the case?
Start sending a flurry of resume emails
I would start sending out to everybody I could find on MTJOBS.COM and MTSTARS.COM

Even go back in the older listings for company names, never can tell, thugh no longer listing a job ad, may just find an opening. Would try and work both places until you can tell if the new job is a match.

So Sorry this happened
MTx13, I just e-mailed you my resume and contact info! nm

I e-mailed with resume yesterday and am testing today.
She gave me 2 company names I had not seen on the boards, both have better terms than I am making now or had found on my own.
If they ask about sending back the footpedal
you could wait 3 weeks, then tell them make a promise it is in the mail, then wait 3 days and email them and tell them you couldn't find their address but thought it was in Timbuktu as you spoke to someone there recently, then .....
Thanks..I just e-mailed you back..nm

I just e-mailed them back....
and told them that I have no idea how they got all of my information, but I have no interest in a position with their company and told them not to contact me again. We'll see what happens!
They didn't charge me for sending it back
I thought they were pretty nice about it and my final check was deposited as usual.  They are ethical people.  But the demographics will kill you.
Did you ask them? I mailed mine back and they were OK with that. sm
They are very nice people to deal with. I have been there 16 months and am glad that I went with them over another company that is getting some very negative posts here and very few positive posts. Just as an FYI: I have not had to fax anything since, never had a need to. I mailed my 401k application and that is all I have had to do!
Thanks..I e-mailed the AFLAC guy but haven't heard back yet (sm)
Meanwhile, I'm going to look for other affordable plans too.  My cousin is a dental hygienist and told me about 2 companies to check into..Delta Dental and DenteMax.  She said they had reasonable plans but I haven't checked them out yet. 
I e-mailed them and responded back almost immediately, offered low pay. 45 minute interview. nm
nm
I heard back from them the day I sent my resume in. sm
I have not received my paperwork yet, but will be starting to work for them on a part-time basis.  The work is all cardio -- mostly clinic notes, correspondence, echos, etc.  They seem to be a good company, but I guess they all do when they are hiring you.  We'll see .........
I sent a resume to them but never heard back.
nm
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. 
Has anyone who sent a resume to TypeToo in response to their ad for a psych MT heard back from them

Once you forward resume, how long till Futurenet gets back with you? nm
 
Wish WMX would go back to 35 hour week for FT. (sm)

Seemed like we all had enough work to go around.  Perhaps this is more beneficial for the company, but the 35 hours makes it easier to work in a part time job if necessary due to low work. 


Last time my accounts were low for a while I picked up an IC gig, then like a fool when OT was offered on my main job I quit the IC job and went for the bucks.  That lasted about 2 weeks.  Will not be that foolish again.


same way an employee making $8 an hour. Hold some back.
x
My "lull" lasted about an hour. Now it's back on too much work!! (LOL)
nm
Is $15.00 per hour without incentive worth driving back and forth to a job at a hospital? nm
NM
Keystrokes sending sending my W2, anyone else? NM
xx
Has anyone gotten a job from any company not posting regularly from their resume in the resume
s
think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour
nm
100,000/year - no way. I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days - sm
AND I DO NOT CLEAR $100,000/YEAR.


what's not to believe - I said that I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days AND DO NOT MAKE - sm
I DO NOT MAKE $100,000/YEAR

try READING the post.
$35/hour x five 10-hour days = $1,750 gross/week.
x
$20 an hour is not even average for radiology. You should not make less than $25-30 per hour. sm
I work for Keystrokes and have for 3 years. I average 25 reports an hour, which is $31.25 an hour. I have 401, health insurance, direct deposit, life insurance. My lead tells me I'm wonderful when I talk to her, but I do not need a daily pat on the back.

I also have a good friend who works for them on a clinic. She only makes 0.08 per line but does 300 lines an hour, which is $24 an hour, again higher than your $20.

I don't think we're selling ourselves short. There are companies out there that are good to work for, 6 or 8 of them that I know of personally. Don't settle for $20 an hour.
Well if I could do 500 lines per hour, I would be making 35.00 an hour. sm
nothing to sneeze at. More than fair for having a 2-year degree. Come on people, we are all acting like we expect 6-digit incomes! Whatev!
No, but she didn't say she was sending any
We talked this morning, and I told her I needed a couple of days to think about it. Yes, I'd like to chat via e-mail, but how do we do that? Do I do post reply versus post quick reply? Tell me how, and I'll send you a note about it and we can compare notes!
Yes, the week is not over. They are sending
out MT week gifts, and they sent them out late due to packaging problems. Of course, it would be better to win the lottery - but the gifts are very nice! (A tote bag, a pedometer and a stress ball that is modeled as a computer). (I know this because I work in the office)
You are right, they are sending me a check
so obviously it has not been invested. How dare they use our money?
How would you be getting and sending the jobs? SM
I once worked for a hospital for all of six weeks. They had a main frame, which was extremely slow. The head of the department told me how fast it was. The problem was, she never used it.

Find out what the platform is like and if you can use Expanders and how they divvy up the work. Then I would take the job, because I work for national and it is indeed going downhill fast.


After sending one Email you should have
nm
I would see nothing wrong with sending
one to the company/office in general. It would be very nice I think.
Yes the same MTs sending work to QA
day in and day out. I get sick of it. And nothing is done about it from management.
re sending work to QA
I really don't believe we'd be penalized or cut for that, UNLESS it was for the same type mistakes over and over, or inexcusable ones that would be caught in proofing, etc. Hope I'm right.
Would mind sending me one as well?
I feel so out of it since I cannot talk to anyone about this.
I'm sending you an email. nm

My STM would threaten us with sending
work to India if work got out of TAT.  I think it only did once or twice, as there was never enough work to get in my lines, but I don't take kindly to threats, and it shows a complete lack of maturity on her part. 
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.
I sent them an email asking too because I had no intention of sending
them a resume without knowing what the name of the co was. I am sure they get the message if people write.
She's right about sending the letter to Lou Dobbs...
After thinking about this, I realized there are probably several private physicians in Toledo who send their work overseas. My friend here in a smaller town south of Toledo lost her job several months ago doing dictation at a local Cardiology practice. One of the Indian physicians convinced the other partners that his friends in India could do the transcribing much cheaper. Someone else posted further down about offshoring going on even in the smallest towns in America and that is absolutely right. Your letter would get much more exposure and be taken more seriously with someone like Lou Dobbs at CNN. 
Anyone else sending out resumes and hearing nothing?
I have 16 years in the business and 4-5 years editing experience, but am just not hearing back from companies advertising on the boards.  Maybe they are receiving 100s of resumes...or is it just me?  Anyone know of a company looking for an editor, please email me.  Thanks!
