Still waiting for your response Georgie Poo
Let's hear it girlfriend. What gives? Maybe MTReviews.org doesn't even have any clients. Kinda hard to hire MTs when there are no clients. Or, do you expect us to send a resume as well as find you the client? Hmmmmmmmmm.

Some of us on this site have been around the block more than a few times.
I sent them my resume 3 years ago and am still waiting for a response!

Still waiting on a answer from an e-mail I sent 3 mo. ago

E-mail response, please read
I apologize I have not gotten back to any of you.  I never received the e-mails and I do not know why.  Anyway, I was able to repost the job information on the Job Seekers board with the permission of my employer.  So, if you want the information it is under Protype, Inc.  On Job Seekers Board.  Again, I apologize for not getting back to anyone.  RH
It took over 2 weeks for me to get my response..but I did e-mail here again last Thursday and
finally got a response.  As far as I know, they are not done yet with everyone's schedules so please try again.  If not Lee, call or e-mail Martha or Becky or call your lead Transcriptionist and tell them.  I know they are busy with the new insurance changes and Aflac coming on board but I would definitely try someone else in the office.  Good Luck!
I hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm

Yes, if you did really well on the CareerStep final.
.
Ok, here is my final suggestion

would someone please apply and then post here what they REALLY meant.  For 16 or 18 cpl, I could QUICKLY become a RAD MT with or without experience (everything is relative, you know).  And if they upped it to 20 cpl, i would even take my C-phone and internet connection to Yorba Linda and work there!


So, I will be sitting by my IE just waiting to click on my MTStars link, click on Company Board, and find out that I can soon be making THE BIG BUCKS doing radiology transcription. 


But let's just keep this between us, just IN CASE they only have 3 or 4 positions open, ok?  Deal or No Deal?????



 


Final opinions about job offers
I have been offered as I stated below 2 positions as this point, one with Transcend and one with Softscript.  Both have been very nice and responsive, and SoftScript has been very organized about sending sign-on papers and handbooks, etc.  I also have the option since I only work part-time and have never run out of work of staying with the Q, but not being able to get a straight answer as to whether or not we will have jobs down the road.  Softscript's pay is comparable and even slightly more than what I'm making now, and Transcend's is less, but that's okay if I'm going to have a job down the road.  I have to make a final decision by tonight or tomorrow.  Thanks everyone!!!
The physician makes the final

We are transcriptionists, not physicians.  We don't make any calls.  We transcribe what we hear, and they read the report and sign off.  It's that simple.  It always has been that simple.


No one here deserves the salary of anything more than what they get or make production wise.


Do you really think these MTSOs are charging a million dollars or what?  They make money by bidding accounts and then sub the work out whether that be by hiring employees or by contracting with an IC. 


I don't know where people come up with this idea that we are the bread and butter of these companies.  We are the worker bees.  Do a good job and you'll make some money.  I make twice as much now working from home than I did hourly with benefits and the benefits were crap.


I can set my own tone.  I transcribe to the best of my ability but by darn it if I can't understand what the dictator says, I leave a blank, and they fill it in.  That's what transcription is about. 


I need sample dictations with their final notes.
Hi,

Can someone suggest me a place to find a few sample dictations with their final notes, so that I could evaluate myself?

thanks

IRS is the final arbiter on this unless their ruling is taken to Tax Court

Below, you'll the link to the IRS page on this question. Paste it your browser.  Or, follow the link at the bottom of the post.


As companies exert more and more control over the work, it gets harder and harder to see how most of them can take advantage of hiring people as ICs.  I think the IRS has taken their eye off this ball in recent years.


One thing of SPECIAL NOTE: On this page you will find a link to a form called SS-8, which EITHER the company or the worker can file with the IRS for an official determination of your status.


It can take awhile to get this back, but in the meantime, if you're an IC you might want to ask your company whether they have filed an SS-8 for this determination, as the IRS recommends companies that use IC's file this form.

Lawsuits? YOU are responsible for final product, sm
VR doesn't claim to put out a perfect product and never will.
No, the MTSO is responsible for the final product,
and when they give you a garbage platform and force you to fly through reports to make minimum wage, it's too easy to make mistakes. They know this & don't care, and THEY are responsible for the product they are selling. If your brand new Toyota explodes, you don't sue the assembly guy, you sue Toyota... so bwahaha to the MTSO.
I can't wait to make the final decision today!!!
I am sooooo tired!!!! This is exhausting. LOL I know SoftScript was very organized and already has me ready to go with signs and everything, but am still a little leary of them as far as rigidity and strictness. Transcend seemed a little more flexible, not that you don't have to follow your schedule, but they give you 90 days to get up to speed and Softscript only 30.
I have never heard of that....always waited until regular pay day to receive final check.
Any company I have resigned my position from, I just received my final check like usual on the regular pay date scheduled. No big deal, it was always in my bank when it was supposed to be.

I was told this morning that it is in the works, final paperwork signed last Friday. sm
My single coverage is only $184 a month. I do not know where you heard over $500.
I gave notice and was told had to work final weeks in order to be eligible for rehire. Had no

I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)

you could manually type it in and resend me the info.  Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.


Yes - regular mail and my reg mail stinks, so let them know.

You are doing better than I am. Still waiting...
...on the paycheck. Maybe those 100% gals get the debit cards, and those idjits, like me, who mess up a comma, don't get a debit cardiac?

(Kidding, kidding, antcipating my debit card with high excitement.)
Still waiting on MQ
not getting my hopes up, of course.  Happy MT Week!
Still waiting...
I'm still waiting for mine
Anyone else still waiting for W-2 from DSG?
They said they were sending it out this week.  Sure seems SLOW this year. 
What are you waiting for? Get out now! nm

I'm still waiting.............SM
for someone to reveal how they know that the account has been lost.  There appears to be at least one individual who enjoys starting rumors of QT's demise on this board, and we have survived these rumors before.  If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me.  I'm not leaving my job based on what appears to most of us to be pure rumor, at least to the majority of employees.  If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me.  Thanks.
You will be waiting until the 15. They
do not process your check the day you send in your time sheet.
waiting...
It would be considerate of them to at least let us know what is going on. They have not said one word about going to VR with any of the accounts. I have been with them for years and it's very unprofessional of them to ignore us and expect us to just sit back and wait until they have work for us to do. Yes it is a slow time of year, but FN has been slow across the boards for the last 8-10 months now, even with picking up new accounts. How does that make sense?
waiting
Why wait that long...would email or call, things get lost and forgotten especially this time of year, at least you would know instead of waiting and wondering...
Waiting here too
impatiently, I might add (LOL) . . . just my personality. I wonder how long it will take to hear back. I know she is busy, but hopefully we'll know soon since she is looking to hire quickly.

I had some trouble with #1 also.
I'm not waiting around for them to get their act together sm
My bills won't wait until they get another account or whatever it is they are planning on doing. My bills aren't tolerating this cut in salary, either. I have to think of me and my family. I have juggled everything as much as I can juggle it and now I am making the decision to get out. I can't stand doing 12 hour days for a bare minimum paycheck.
Also waiting
Yes, I also thought it has been strangely quiet. The first week after the announcement, there were e-mails asking for our input and questions, and now nothing. I hope the early signs of willingness to work with us and keep things that are working don't just die on the vine.
waiting for work

For anybody that has worked with transform..............Have you have experienced this. I have been waiting for work to be asigned to me for four hours. Yes, they asign work to you......................I have been with this company for two weeks. I made a mistake, I put the wrong date of service on a report...............................So I am wondering if this is the reason why my e-mail has not been answered, nor my phone calls, nor AOL messenger.  I have not made mistakes with medical words, at least that I know (although I have not gottent a lot of feedback). I have been transcribing in this particular speciality for 7 years, so I don't think I made huge mistakes.


Have anybody experienced this?


I'm waiting for them to take the spaces

Waiting for mine too. sm
Not to scare you, but it took 6 weeks to get my first one. I was shorted on both checks too. Were we supposed to get paid the 15th? They are always late so I do not know.
I have been waiting all night for - sm
someone to say that. I feel better already!
WAITING FOR WORK!!!

In your response to FutureNet.  I am currently working for them. It is a good company, easy platform, great people, but I am waiting for work as I type.  I think they have over-hired, we are now caught up and out of work.  Doesn't pay the bills!


Soon to be in the poor house


Waiting for work
Do you have other accounts with FN? I have four and if work is REALLY low I wait and do work for the other service I am employed with. We have several new accounts coming on and some of them are still in the testing stage. But it is also that time of the year.
Waiting for work
I also have 4 different accounts that I can work on, so running out of work doesn't happen very often for me.

Waiting to see what rates are!
Wow, $400 a month is higher than I'm paying now and I thought it was high! I currently pay $340 a month for family but the coverage is very good. I did hear that they have a new rate plan coming in. I will wait to see what I hear from this change. I have to have good insurance. My husband does have some health issues.

One last question....can someone tell me how soon insurance starts when you hire on with Keystrokes? Do you have to wait 3 or 6 months or does it go in effect on Day 1? My current job insurance went into effect Day 1. But they are outsourcing some to India starting this month and I'm afraid we may all be out of jobs soon. Doesn't look good. I may check into the plan to just purchase myself and not have to worry about changing jobs, etc.

Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.

Waiting for Future-Net

About a week ago I received an email from Future-Net stating I had passed all the testing and a recruiter would be contacting me....I am still waiting a week later.  Is this normal for them?


TIA


still waiting on my paycheck
this company is a joke
still waiting on my check from TTS
@#$%&
Still waiting for an answer.
I did all my testing and had my phone interview with the recruiter and Jean but have not heard anything back.  Last communication was on Monday.  They seemed really intrigued as I said I would work 6 hours on Monday and Friday and 4 or more on Saturday and Sunday.  Should I call them or just keep waiting?  I have lots of experience with ESL's and currently work in an acute setting.  Seemed like everything they wanted to hear.  How long does the hiring process normally take? Thanks in advance.
still waiting for computer to come
here.  Just trying to get some understanding of platform before starting. 
Patiently Waiting...
I can tell you that I have applied with nearly 30 places--and I'm starting to regret it!!

I researched each and every company before I applied, so I'm sure that I applied for great companies. But now I'm being bombarded with requests to test and emails and phone calls.

I've had several offers, most of them very promising, so it will be fairly hard to decided.

The downside is that there are still about 15+ companies who stated on their website that it can take a week or two to get that first contact from a recruiter. So if I accept one of these job offers in the next few days, I think I'm still going to be getting bombarded with phone calls and emails and testing requests.

Of course, I'm not complaining in a bad way!! I'd rather have it this way than no phone calls at all. My first response came within 24 hours and I even received a response today from an application that I put in on Monday of this week.

I don't know if any of this answers your questions, but I hope it at least helps you a little...
